you guys can't do what you're supposed to do, you're making us suffer. >> breaking right now at 5:00, the clock ticking down for tenants who haven't paid rent in the east bay. this, after oakland city council members made a late-night vote to phase out the city's eviction moratorium. our kris sanchez is breaking down the new expiration date. >> plus, meta reportedly ready to lay off more employees any moment. we'll have the latest on the struggling company just ahead. >> plus, awaiting a key decision that will impact millions of

women. the supreme court ruling expected on an abortion pill battle. this is "today in the bay." good wednesday morning to you. thank you for making us a part of your morning. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. let's start with a look at the forecast. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we can expect. >> it's going to be a cool start but shape up to be a nice day. we have a warming trend under way. in richmond, we're only in the mid-40s. we're seeing 40s in many of our microclimates this morning. as we go into the lunch hour, it's in the upper 50s, eventually making it into the low 60s. inland it's mid-60s today, with san jose topping out at 64 degrees, 66 in santa rosa and 64 in martinez. san francisco, we're still in the upper 50s today, but it will be a more pleasant weekend as our temperatures continue to warm up, even some 70s for the south bay and inland tri-valley towards the north bay as well. some of our inland valleys

really warming up. mike, you've been tracking a major crash in sunol. >> chp tells us all lanes have stopped for north 680 and 84 as you're heading toward the area. traffic going north, you can't go north of 84 because we had the overnight closure that's still in place. then the head-on crash on highway 84, that's east of 680, heading toward livermore but impacting both sides as the fire crew has arrived on scene. we're waiting for information. but right now 84 and 680 really tied up. try to avoid this area if you can. that means you have to go through the dublin interchange or up 880 and through the castro valley y. it's a lot longer drive and it will take you extra time. we'll continue to track that. while that's going on, the rest of the bay moves smoothly, aside from some construction on 84, the dumbarton bridge. but as you're heading out of the area, highway 152 has another

crash, an overturned big rig. folklks are getting by on the shoulder. it's at least moving. back to you. >> thank you very much. breaking news, after hours of back and forth, oakland renters and landlords now know when eviction protections will come to an end. >> "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez is joining us live from the newsroom. after hearing what happened, it could be an uncertain summer. >> we now know the eviction protections would not be phased out gradually but will come to a hardened and that end will come july 15th. the decision came after a lot of passionate outcry, both from housing advocates, who say the abrupt stop may push at-risk renters into free fall and input from landlords who say they're close to losing their properties after three years of little or no rent from tenants. >> just to stop it abruptly like

that will just be, like, you know, a death sentence for a lot of renters. >> i can't sleep at night because i know i have to pay this bill tomorrow and that bill the next day, and i don't have enough money to pay. and i have to work day and night, three jobs, to get by. >> july 15th is the firm date for the end of all eviction protections in the city of oakland. landlords will have to prove substantial damage or unreasonable behavior, which is not part of the policy, however landlords will have to prove other just cause grounds before eviction. both the city of oakland and the housing advocacy groups like moms for housing plan massive outreach starting may 1st. >> thanks for the very latest, kris. now to a live look at capitol hill, a ruling from the supreme court could come as early as today surrounding the battle over an abortion pill. the high court could rule on whether to keep an appeals court

decision in place when limits the accessibility. it would prohibit telemedicine prescriptions, mail delivery and retail pharmacy dispensing of mifepristone. earlier this week an antiabortion group asked the high court to keep restrictions in place while the battle over the medication's legal status plays out. we're learning more information about the deadly freeway shooting of a 5-year-old girl. police and the district attorney laying out exactly how the shooting unfolded. 5-year-old eliyanah crisostomo was in the car with her family heading to a birthday party on 880 in fremont. this is when she was hit by the bullet. investigators say the three men arrested were caught on a surveillance camera shooting another man in fremont about 15 minutes before. they say that same car with the same license plate pulled up to the family's suv on 880. the men allegedly thought they were targeting a gang rival. now, it was a case of mistaken identity here.

d.a. pamela price says each of the men face up to 42 years to life in prison. >> we also understand that there's additional evidence and information that we are evaluating, so additional charges may be brought at a future time. >> immediately after that shooting, an alert went out about the car and the three men inside. santa cruz police ultimately spotted them and arrested them three hours later. two suspects are due in court tomorrow. this morning reverend al sharpton is urging the u.s. attorney to investigate the antioch police department. this comes after racist texts between city officers suggested thorpe be shot during a 2020 protest after the murder of george floyd. as we've been reporting, the fbi discovered text messages between antioch police officers, some racist, others homophobic and violent. 45 officers are now under investigation. last night angry residents also

called for immediate action. the subject of one of the text messages says she plans to sue the police department. >> the community demands that those officers are fired and never, ever, able to become police officers ever again. >> the council approved an audit of the police department's internal affairs processes. tonight gilroy police plan to distribute narcan to help fight against fentanyl overdoses. this comes after three overdose deaths in february. deputies in santa clara county are warning that the drug is being laced with other drugs or even made to look like painkillers sold on the street. the narcan, if used correctly, can reverse an opioid overdose. tonight's distribution is part of a workshop that begins at 6:00 at the recreation center. workers at the trader joe's in rock ridge are expected to vote on whether or not to unionize. they first filed a petition to

organize last month, becoming the first location in california to do so. at the time employees reportedly cited worker safety and financial security. the company never gave a public response. voting is scheduled to continue through tomorrow night. meta employees fear thousands of additional staffers will be laid off today. >> this comes as the promises came that the layoffs were over. >> i think management would say we didn't promise, we just strongly implied layoffs were over. after 11,000 plus were laid off in november, another 10,000 in march, total, that's a bit less than the entire population of burlingame. and now the news company vox reports some meta employees have been asked to work from home today to give space to those who may be laid off today. vox quotes company insiders who say affected employees will be notified early this morning, so that would be any time now. during the last round of layoffs, meta ceo mark zuckerberg told employees, quote, not only are we saying

good-bye to people we've worked closely with, but many of you also feel uncertainty about the future. i want you to know we're making these decision to say make sure our future is strong. now, tech workers change jobs a lot, sometimes involuntarily, but that means workers have very deep networks. we talked with a life coach, gary quinn, who reminds people old coworkers, bosses and friends can always help. >> remember, it's action equals results. you have to believe in order to receive, and i believe to be positive in the workforce right now is a main key. people want to hire people who are team players. you want to go in as a winner. >> quinn has a book where he goes into depth on how to regain confidence in job searching. we expect meta to announce something pretty soon, if these layoffs do occur as employees are predicting. the company will make a statement. that's what usually happens. they'll publish that in a blog.

we'll bring that to you when they do. >> it's got to be tough on morale. >> morale has been very low at metaphor quite some time. if you're worried about getting laid off, the good ones will leave on their own. we saw this at yahoo. this is almost exactly what happened. it was a silicon valley giant, but as it wound down operations it went through the slow slide, where both had too many people, so it laid off, yet it couldn't hold onto the people it wanted to hold onto, and that created a circular problem that was one of the factors in the end of yahoo. >> it's a slippery slope and a lot of people are looking right now. >> it's interesting, because i remember six years ago, everyone wanted to work there. >> facebook, yeah, and they moved to the whole idea of meta and vr. that has not panned out at all. we'll see what they do next. >> thanks, scott. >> so many years, it's interesting to see everything that has happened. let's take a look at san

francisco, a beautiful skyline there. waiting for the sun's arrival. our own sunshine is here, kari hall. what are we going to see today? >> you're definitely bringing the sunshine with that yellow dress. i love it. we're starting out all clear this morning and if you had the opportunity before you start your busy day, just look up for a little bit. there's a meteor shower happening and we'll see it for the next several nights as we see the potential for about 15 to 20 meteors per hour. we'll see this for the next several nights, so if you don't have time this morning, get your day started. we're going to see temperatures today a little warmer compared to yesterday. we'll be in the mid-60s this afternoon. we'll talk about the weekend coming up. mike gets you ready with where you can get lower gas prices. >> we have one of the best prices in the bay area, $3.97 a gallon in vallejo. we have it at shell on tennessee

street. the rest not as great. santa clara, $4.29 at the costco on coleman, we picked out fremont and the chevron on fremont boulevard with $4.29 a gallon. we're watching for those as well. thank you for reporting through gasbuddy. everything on the map is maintaining a smooth, predictable pace, but north 680, which is starting to move much better toward 84, but 84 eastbound there are still reports of a closure there because of a crash. a head-on crash just east of 680. westbound lanes have just been reopened a few seconds ago and north 680, again, the backup on north 680 does look like it cleared. i'll talk you around the alternate on the next map, in the next report. i wanted to make sure everybody knew the bay bridge and other hot spots in the east bay are not a problem. back to you. >> thank you so much. working to make home care more accessible and affordable.

good wednesday morning. the time is now 5:15 as you're heading out in gilroy. the morning commute starts out

with some low 40s. it is mostly clear. we're also going to see it warming up today. but you will need those sunglasses and a jacket. it's going to take a while before we get there, but we do have great weather this weekend. a look at that in a few minutes. a crash is going on, shutting down eastbound 84. but good news, 680 indeed did reopen. i cleared the closure. i'll give you an alternate and talk you through that if you still need to head north through sunol and toward pleasanton coming up. new this morning, president joe biden signs an executive order to make child care and home care more affordable for americans. that order includes more than 50 directives to take steps toward fixing the nation's child care and long-term care system. the hope is to improve transparency and access for home care services while boosting the industry standards. since taking office, the president has pressed for more affordable child care solutions. and a warning before you make your next online purchase,

we're talking about those pop-up windows to ask you to enter your email address to get discounts. cybersecurity experts say this might not be worth it. your email connects companies to a treasure trove of information that can stretch back decades. >> your email address is a lot more valuable than people think it is. it may contain your first and last name, your birthday, who you work for, what school you go to. >> the "today" show reporter vicky nguyen is actually taking a deep dive coming up on the "today" show this morning at 7:00, right after us here on "today in the bay." netflix is now providing a timeline for its password crackdown in the u.s., during their earnings call yesterday the streaming giant said it's pleased with results from a new paid sharing plan launched in canada, new zealand, portugal and spain. users can expect to get cut-offs as early as this summer, as variety tv editor explains, a

new paid sharing plan can keep your streaming family together for good. >> if you're a member of, say, a household or a family member who doesn't live with their parents or with their family, then for a couple bucks extra a month, you can be an add-on, so you can continue to watch netflix at your house. but it's not going to be a free ride like it once was. >> netflix says this is a new way to boost revenue and stay competitive. netflix also revealing what caused the epic fail during what was supposed to be a live reunion of the hit dating show "love the blind". the company says a technical bug is to blame for the delay of the special. it was supposed to start at 8:00 on sunday night but it didn't start until more than an hour later. the company's ceo says about 6.5 million people ultimately watched the reunion special the very next day. in ten days you can get a slurpee discount from 7-eleven.

>> a lot of people are thinking it's not july. so the retailer is offering up the sweet deal as part of its bring your own cup day. anyone who brings any type of drinking vessel, be it cup, wine glass, a bucket, whatever you have, you can fill it up for about $2 at participating 7-eleven locations. mark your calendars because it is saturday, april 29th. >> that's the triplets' birthday, and i can only imagine the easter buckets they're going to bring for a big slurpee. >> this is a good-sized mug. >> they're really going to bring it. can you imagine? those machines. hope they have enough. >> so sweet and good. >> out of order. [ laughter ] >> exactly. let's get started this morning. we have some cool temperatures and it's a coffee kind of morning. >> oh, a coffee slurpee. >> i don't know about that.

we're in the upper 30s in santa rosa, in san rafael the 40s. it really just depends on where you are this morning as far as how cold it is. in martinez it's 46 degrees. the wind is calm, the sky is clear. we will continue to see clear skies today and our temperatures slowly warming up. it's still going to be a cool morning, but shape up to be a nice and comfortable afternoon. we're seeing our temperatures going up each day, and as you take a look at the seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen, the peak of those temperatures actually coming on friday and saturday. so today we're in the low 60s for fremont and tomorrow it's upper 60s in those spots. dublin reaching 69 degrees and in novato reaching 68. 62 in san francisco. then by friday we're looking at highs in the upper 70s and low 80s. it's going to be so nice. even san francisco warming up

significantly, to the upper 60s, and then you make your way to san jose and it will be 79 degrees. that warm-up is coming as high pressure builds and it's steering all of the rain and also the cooler temperatures farther north. we're not looking at a significant change here. it does dip just slightly going toward the end of the weekend into early next week. pleasant weather continues as we go from mid-60s today to upper 70s and low 80s in time for the weekend. make some plans to get outside. mike, what's the update on the crash in sunol? >> we have the description, head-on crash. it doesn't sound like there are major injuries because all the reporting, the updates are focused on where the tow truck is. it's stuck in the backup on eastbound 84. they've reopened the westbound lanes. even though it's still on the grid, caltrans doesn't say 680 is open. i checked the cameras and we do see traffic going north.

now, 680 does look like it's open so this crash, which is not clear yet, you can still head up and take north 680 and get to bernal or get toward stanley or 1st and take it toward the city, if you are going counter-commute. but there's the build coming westbound, back toward the area. so you will be distracted by lights as well. keep that in mind for the tri-valley. overnight we had an overturned big rig and it is still there on 152. folks are squeezing by, allowing one direction at a time going past the big rig scene on 152 near lovers lane. 156 is a good reference point, in and out of gilroy. the east bay commute shows a nice, easy start. just some slowing out of vallejo on 37. back to you. >> thanks, mike. working to stop pollution on our beaches and parks. coming up next on "today in the bay," the progress made during a statewide cleanup of our beloved

shores and how you can help keep local parks clean this earth day. 30 rock is headed to the bay area. today we'll broadcast from sonoma county. make sure you tune in for the third hour of "today" this friday. it's going to be a special show. it's 9:00 right here on nbc bay area. we'll be rig back.ht

it's 5:25 right now. turning to our climate in crisis, our california beaches have sun, sand and, unfortunately, trash. >> a new report says the top five types of garbage, most likely to be on the beaches, a group called the ocean conservancy found more than 380,000 pounds of garbage on the state's beaches, and that's 42,000 pounds less than just five years ago. the top five types of trash, cigarette butts, food wrappers, metal bottle caps and plastic water bottles. they say there are ways that you can help protect the beaches. >> certainly enjoy your beverages, enjoy your foods. you can make packaging decisions that don't have an impact if they get lost in the environment. >> another idea, bring a bag with you and pick up a few pieces of trash if you see them out there. >> in honor of earth day this weekend, the state regional park district is doing several cleanups that you can be a part of.

there's a list of some of the cleanup locations throughout the park district, as well as some planting projects. if you want to attend, just register on the east bay park district's website. we have a whole section on our website dedicated to fighting climate change. head to nbcbayarea.com, click on the climate in crisis tab. it's right there on our home page. 5:26 right now. and next, top stories we're following, including a road block for reparations. the reason san francisco mayor london breed insists the plan can move forward without any additional funding. >> a security guard shot while trying to prevent a theft here at this pleasanton home depot. the update from police that we are expecting a few hours from now. itay w

>> i would have been inside half an hour ago. >> right now at 5:30, a shooting at an east bay home depot, leaving workers rattled and customers worried. ahead, the revelations the police are making about the employee shot and the arrests they've made. >> draymond green suspended. the warrior sitting out for tomorrow's crucial game three. reaction from that suspension. >> plus, record-breaking powder. yeah, an incredible snow total that we have from sierra and the positive impact this is having on ski season. this is "today in the bay."

favorite place. >> we should take the show up to the sierra. >> i think we should. >> on the slope. >> two votes. good morning to you. thanks for joining us this morning. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. let's start with a look at the forecast because it looks like we're staying home today, kari. >> we're staying home, but the weather is going to be great. we're starting to warm up over the next couple of days and we're starting out with a clear sky, cool temperatures this morning. it's going to be a few clouds to start at about 8:00, but then all clear the rest of the day. low 60s this afternoon. a light jacket may be needed, even in the afternoon, especially with the breeze picking up. but we are seeing some mid-60s in spots like concord and santa rosa, and we'll talk about the weekend coming up. mike, part of highway 84 is still closed? >> stick with me for a second. westbound we had traffic flow just stopped as well. i think the tow truck has just arrived. this is on highway 84 just east

of 680. we're looking at this, both directions of 84 closed, because the tow truck has arrived on scene. chp thinks they can clear that and open highway 84 in both directions shortly. if you're traveling north and trying to get toward the press pleasanton area, you can get off toward stanley. the antioch line, we're hearing about a 20-minute delay out of antioch due to unscheduled track maintenance. that will be an unscheduled delay for you. i'll take it from here. new overnight in east san jose a man was hit by a car on white road and kentridge drive near the central shopping area. police say he was hit about 6:15 last night and taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. no update on his condition. also, a crash between a car and a truck is under investigation. this happened on 1st street and

matrix boulevard. one person was seen being put into an ambulance. no word on the condition of the other driver or what led up to the crash. a home depot in the east bay will reopen after a security guard was shot during an apparent robbery. >> bob redell joins us live from souds of the store. what are police saying about this? >> reporter: good morning. police tell us that they will provide an update after 9:00 this morning on the shooting that happened yesterday afternoon at this home depot behind me on johnson drive in pleasanton. the call came in around 2:15 yesterday afternoon. the call was about a man bleeding inside the store. police say the man was a store employee who got into a struggle trying to stop a theft. another home depot employee confirmed to us that that man who was bleeding, who was shot, was a loss prevention worker. police say that alameda county deputies located the suspects, they arrested them later miles

away in oakland. a security expert we spoke with says this tragedy should not have happened, given the newest state regulations for security guards. >> the general rule of thumb, whether you're an employee, a security guard or loss prevention, is observe and report. there's cameras in stores, there are witnesses. much better to be a witness and be alive than to be a participant and get severely injured or killed. >> i'm scared right now. i can never imagine that in pleasanton this kind of thing can happen. >> nbc bay area has tried to get an update on the man who was shot inside the store, the loss prevention worker. police did not return our calls yesterday. but the alameda county coroner did confirm that it is involved and working on a case with pleasanton police. the home depot behind me did shut down yesterday. there's a sign out front that indicates that it will be reopening at 6:00 this morning.

reporting live here in pleasanton, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> tough for those workers. thank you, bob. 5:34 right now. a man accused in the murder of his ex-girlfriend outside of her peninsula home is scheduled to appear in court for a plea hearing. earlier this year, the judge determined he was competent to stand trial in the murder of 27-year-old karina castro. investigators say he killed her with a samurai sword last september with her children nearby. new opposition to san francisco's plan to provide reparations to the black community directly from the mayor's office. mayor london breed is opposing a funding request recently introduced by supervisor walton. it would allocate $50 million from the city's general fund to set up a new reparations office to implicate actions from the reparations committee.

now, the mayor made her position clear during an exchange with walton during last night's supervisors meeting. >> any plans to support the $50 million supplemental i introduced to fund the office of reparations, the staffing, the committee's approved recommendations, database, to locate eligible participants? >> i have no plans at this time to support that request. thank you. we can continue to invest in programs that are clearly working, while the work to finalize the reparation report continues. >> the committee's draft report recommends more than 100 different actions, including the possibility of $5 million payments to eligible recipients. a final report is due in june. there is a huge development for dub nation and the warriors. the nba is suspending draymond green for tomorrow's game three against the sacramento kings. the nba made the announcement late last night.

here is the main reason. the stomp he gave kings star domantas sabonis, that happened after sabonis grabbed green's leg. but the commissioner's office also cited green's history of unsportsmanlike conduct for cause of the suspension. before the news came down, we spoke with a former warrior and nba champ, who says all this happened as the warriors were just trying to gain some momentum. >> at this point in the game, steph is looking for draymond to throw it back to him so he can make a play. draymond knows it and he's trying to run back. if anybody wants to re-enact that, you know if somebody grabs your foot like that, you step out of balance, whatever it is, i think draymond also tried to embellish the pull so that the refs would see it. all in all, you don't want to see any of this in the game. you just want to see a clean basketball game. >> during the game draymond could be seen interacting dramatically with kings fans.

some believe this may have led to the suspension. when you think about the nba's mention of green's history of unsportsmanlike conduct, in 2016 conference finals draymond was fined but not suspended for kicking oklahoma city's steven adams in the groin. and in the 2016 nba finals, he took a swipe at lebron james, also hitting him in the groin in game four. after green was suspended for game five, the cavaliers won that title. if the warriors lose tomorrow's game, they would be down three games to none. no nba team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a postseason series. >> let's go warriors, please. 5:37 this morning. more snow? you don't have to ask for more. palisades tahoe, the resort will be open longer, thanks to -- it's going to stay open longer. palisades tahoe says it broke the record for the most snowfall since the year 2000. the ski resort said they

received 10 inches of snowfall just on monday night, putting them, get this, 710 inches of snow so far this season. the average brings about 400 inches. this year palisades says they will stay open until july 4th. you still have time to get out there and get on the slopes. >> i'm trying. it's amazing to see how much snow they've gotten. >> it is. and we're still at our normal snowpack, three times the normal amount for the southern sierra. and some of these records go all the way back to 1982, when we remember some of those extremely large snowstorms we had that year. and then we take a live look at the forecast for the weekend, we'll be in the upper 50s. so some of the snow is melting as we get the warmer temperatures, but it is cool during those overnight hours. and we're warming up here as well across the bay area. reaching into the low to mid-60s for today.

we're headed for the upper 70s and even low 80s going into the weekend. we'll talk more about that. mike, do you have a better update for the tri-valley? >> we have all lanes just reopened on highway 84, traffic sensors show the slowing. it's moving in both directions, east and westbound 84, reopened after a head-on crash. and we never heard about any major injuries. that's great. traffic should be sorting itself out, back to the normal morning commute. we do see the building for san jose, typical for 101. we also have a crew over here on the east bay side of the dumbarton bridge. we'll track that. the bridge itself is moving smoothly. 152 still moves slowly because of the overturned big rig. it's going to be there probably all morning. traffic control at lovers lane. back over to you. >> thanks, mike. it's 5:40. analyzing our air quality and its negative impacts. coming up next on "today in the bay," we talk to an expert about where the bay area stands when it comes to pollution.

and the upcoming changes that may help improve our standings. >> president biden releases his taxes, plus a little intrusion at the white house. a really little one. and here is jaxon van derbeken. >> this the jaxon van derbeken with the investigative unit. you can see our story about how a health care worker is facing manslaughter charges in the deaths of two elderly people at a san mateo county assisted living facility on our website at nbcbayarea.com.

good wednesday morning. right now at 5:43, in vallejo, temperatures in the low 40s. it is a clear start to the day. it's going to be a cool morning, but also all clear, even into the afternoon, as temperatures slowly warm up today. we're making progress towards some more seasonable weather and we'll get a look at that in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. a nice, smooth drive on the san mateo bridge. you see no taillights. the toll plaza lights have not been activated. we'll give you issues for the south bay. i'm looking ahead coming up. now to a look at oakland this morning, where in a few hours several organizations plan to deliver a petition calling for safer roadways within the city. they want the city leaders to redirect $20 million to the oakland department of transportation. this is part of the city's next

budget cycle. they say more than 1,600 people have signed the petition. the presentation begins at 9:30 this morning on the steps of oakland city hall. it is quickly approaching a quarter until 6:00. the president and first lady have released their tax returns to the public. >> scott mcgrew, there used to be a routine for the presidents until recently. >> until recently. until donald trump, who didn't. the bidens told the irs they earned $579,000 last year, mostly from their salaries. america pays the president of the united states $400,000 a year. dr. jill biden made $82,000 for her job as a professor, and the rest of the income came from biden's books. they paid 137,000 back to the federal government in federal tax. they've been sharing their tax returns with the public for the past 25 years. >> we expect the supreme court will make a decision related to abortion pills very soon. decisions usually come 7:00 a.m.

our time. the high court is reviewing an appellate court's decision to add restrictions to the use of pills. that court, in turn, was modifying a district court's decision to ban them altogether. this is the second time the supreme court has addressed abortion recently. the first, of course, being the decision that overturned roe v. wade. at the time, some lawmakers welcomed it, saying abortion was finally up to the states and not the courts. but it's back to being up to the courts again. >> there's a new push in congress to ban members of congress from buying and selling stock. we heard from new pennsylvania senator john fetterman. >> lawmakers should not be able to profit off of the same companies that they are regulating. it's just that simple. letting members of congress trade stocks opens the door of corruption. lawmakers should be focused on getting results, not lining their own pockets.

now, let's get this done. >> fetterman came back to work at the senate on monday, with all the other senators, all back from recess. the senator had checked himself into the hospital earlier for assistance with depression. >> finally, a little intrusion at the white house. a small child slipped through the bars of the outside fence. as you might imagine, he was pretty easy to catch. it's the first person to slip through the new fence, though the secret service says sometimes older children manage to get themselves stuck. >> the president will speak in maryland today about the economy. we'll talk about that on social media. on facebook you can find me at scott mcgrew tv. >> i like how the secret service the holding up the little kid. let's take a live look outside across the bay area. how is the area breeze? it's better but not as good as it should be according to the 24th annual state of the air report. it shows the bay area had fewer unhealthy days between 2019 and

2021, still nine out of ten californians live in communities with polluted air and all bay area counties have a failing grade for particle pollution, like vehicle emissions and wildfire smoke. our region ranks sixth most polluted in terms of particulates, 11th in the nation in terms of ozone pollution. as a spokesperson for the american lung association explains, both contribute to poor health. >> ozone is a colorless, odorless gas that can have a corrosive effect on our airways, almost like a sunburn on the skin, for example. and particle pollution are these tiny bits of soot, ash, dust and liquids that can penetrate deep into our lungs and actually cross into the bloodstream. we're not only talking about lung cancer and asthma attacks, but also heart attacks and strokes and premature death. >> the california air quality management district has two critical votes coming up next week that will help our state transition to cleaner

locomotives and zero emission truck fleets. the lung association estimates those policy changes could result in a 90% reduction in cancer risk almost immediately. 5:48 right now. april is world autism month, and with this comes some troubling news. the cdc finds autism diagnosis in children may be on the rise in the united states. according to a study from march, 1 in 36 children at age 8 were identified as being on the autism spectrum. that's a 22% increase from 2018. a speech pathologist who helps autistic students within the san jose unified school district tells us her elementary school saw a jump in diagnosis last fall due to kids who weren't able to be evaluated during the pandemic. she says there are some signs parents should look out for. >> children with autism are often sensory seeking, and when parents see that their child is, you know, clapping their hands or slapping their hands, they tell them to stop.

but that's actually equal to, you know, sneezing or having a cough, obviously you need to let that out. you need to sneeze, you need to cough. so in order to combat those behaviors, what we can do is modify the behaviors through fidget toys. >> for other signs you can look for, log onto the state's website. 5:49 right now. trending this morning, the clock is ticking to cash in a $1.5 million lotto ticket sold in los gatos. >> they purchased it back in october, someone purchased the winning powerball ticket sold at the mobil station on los gatos boulevard. the winner hasn't come forward. the deadline to claim the cash is next monday. if no one steps forward, the money will be donated to california's public schools. >> i'm thinking, did i buy a ticket? >> i stash them in books, in the purse. you forget to check them. all i know is that i haven't been to that mobil station.

>> i don't think i have, either. >> i'll see you here tomorrow. we're getting started this morning, it's all clear, cool, and our temperatures are going to be warming up. we do have good news in the weather department in terms of what to expect as we head into the weekend, as we take a live look outside in oakland, already a busy start to this wednesday morning, and it's in the upper 40s right now in oakland, 42 in napa, and then it's about 10 degrees cooler compared to oakland in santa rosa. 37 degrees, also in the upper 30s for los gatos and scotts valley. we're starting out this morning cool, but it's going to start to warm up. great baseball weather. we just have to make it into the early afternoon. so we have a first pitch for the a's game at 12:37 and we are going to be trending toward the low 60s. it's still going to be breezy and the sun will really help it out and make it feel a lot more comfortable. as we take a look at high temperatures today, it's definitely a few degrees warmer compared to just a couple of

days ago. but we're still only up to 63 degrees in oakland and 66 in antioch, 63 in pleasanton, and low 60s from san mateo to palo alto, upper 50s in san francisco and for the north bay we're going to reach into the low to mid-60s this afternoon. going ahead, the dry weather continues, high pressure building, helping to warm us up. and then by early next week there's some rain close by and our temperatures just dip a few degrees. but in spots like santa rosa, the warm weather continues after today. we're headed for low 70s tomorrow and then low 80s for friday and saturday. it's going to be a great start to our weekend. our seven-day forecast shows the sunshine continues, mornings will also get milder with the afternoons reaching into the upper 70s and low 80s. so we'll have spring coming our way soon. mike is looking at what's in store. >> i'm looking at what's coming your way. we have recovery for 84 and should have a smoother flow.

the crash is cleared from 84. a reminder for the east bay, the a's play a midday game, so that will mean midday traffic starting as early as 10:30, 11:00, getting off of the freeway near the coliseum. as early as 9:00 a.m., we may have one lane closed in the southbound direction of 17. this goes on all week. the section from bear creek down toward the summit. again, cleaning up from the earlier storms. this has been going on and will continue for a while, a large truck, big rig on its side, still blocks 152. traffic control allows traffic in both directions. there will be a delay for folks heading out of gilroy toward 156 and hollister. at the bay bridge we have a backup starting to form. it looks like they've activated the metering lights in the last couple of minutes. >> thanks, mike. happening now, the santa clara county county library district is holding work shops teaching people how to protect

have destroyed sea life as the water becomes more acidic, and scientists estimate that we've lost 90% of the kelp forest off the coast of california. kelp, as well as ocean trees work to create half of the oxygen we breathe, so less sea life we have, the less fresh air we'll have available. but there are organizations making sure that climate change doesn't choke us out. i talked to michael stewart of sustainable surf to find out what they're doing to save the kelp. >> kelp forests globally are one of the most important ecosystems in the ocean tore storing carbon dioxide. so when we burn fossil fuels, it goes into the air, and about 25% of all carbon emissions in the world in the air get reabsorbed back into the ocean. it's literally changing the ocean chemistry or the ph, making the oceans more acidic. so kelp forests and mangrove

forests, watersheds and sea grass, those types of ecosystems rebound the system for us. we've lost a lot of those in the last 50 years and that's part of our global work, to help put those back, in partnership with local organizations that are on the ground. you can help restore the kelp by donating to seatrees.org. we have a link on our website at our climate in crisis page at nbcbayarea.com. new video this morning as hundreds gathering in southern california, this is in defense of drag queens. a rally was held in palm springs last night as attendees rallied against anti-drug or anti-lgbtq legislation. this comes as bills proposed or passed in at least 15 states across the u.s. some of those states such as tennessee voted to restrict drag shows in front of those under the age of 18. a federal judge has temporarily blocked that law. quickly approaching 6:00, the clock is ticking down for
