people are urged to stay off the streets. >> and we're still spending more. we are just moments away from critical new information about inflation. >> sending a message. san francisco leaders demand action from the district attorney's office in the wake of a controversial shooting. we'll show you the tense moments within the chamber ahead of their vote. this is "today in the bay." a very good wednesday morning to you. 5:00. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. mike has a look at the drive times in just a bit. first, kari, what are you tracking? >> it's going to be as nice as yesterday. it started out cloudy, but cleared up and the temperatures stayed nice and mild. as we take a live look outside, it is mostly clear. we're going to see clouds rolling in by 6:00 to 9:00, and then starting to see a little bit more sunshine by late morning into the afternoon. we're going from upper 40s to

low 60s, and only reaching 68 degrees, which is still cooler than normal. we've been talking a lot about a heat-up for the weekend, but we have a little more time to leave the air conditioner off before we have to blast it this weekend. mike, you were looking at one possible slowdown. >> overall we're looking at light traffic, obviously, it's early in the commute. no problems throughout contra costa county or down the eastshore freeway, but i-80 continuing into the city, there may be a slowdown as you hit the decline because of a disabled vehicle or crash. they're assisting one vehicle off toward the fremont street exit. so far as you see, all green into and through san francisco. the rest of the bay, a nice, easy drive south county into silicon valley, also clear over the santa cruz mountain. >> thanks, mike. this morning a health advisory for parts of downtown martinez is issued after a mercury spill at the martinez train station. here is a live look at the

station. now, the containment areas span about five blocks. contra costa county health leaders say they don't believe there's any risk to residents breathing in the air. the county is asking anyone walking in the contaminated area not to walk on the road and stay on the sidewalks because the mercury has only been found on the roadways and gutters. investigators say that mercury was inside a garbage bin at the amtrak station. ahead in our next half hour, bob redell will have more on the cleanup efforts in a live report. a stunning verdict in a civil lawsuit against former president donald trump, a new york city jury is awarding writer e. jean carroll $5 million, finding trump sexually abused and defamed her and now both are speaking out. "today in the bay"'s drew petrimoulx is live in washington. tell us what carroll is saying about this decision. >> reporter: well, good morning, laura. carroll is saying, quote, she is overwhelmed with joy and happiness following this verdict.

it comes after years of denials from donald trump surrounding her claims. now, the verdict marks the first time a former president has been found liable for sexual misconduct. the jury did not conclude carroll was raped by the former president, which carroll's legal team had claimed. instead they found trump liable on the charge that he sexually abused carroll in a manhattan department store in the 1990s. the jury found trump defamed carroll by calling her claims a hoax and con job. in an interview with savannah guthrie this morning, she says the lawsuit was never about the money. >> it's an astonishing thing about this win yesterday, of all the cases that this man faces, all the legal quagmires, it was one -- well, the prosecutors, all the special counsel, all the investigators, and what happened yesterday is one 5'2" little

blond, female attorney, and one 79-year-old -- 5'9", a 79-year-old advice columnist, beat donald trump in court. >> reporter: now, donald trump meanwhile blasted the verdict on social media, saying he has, quote, no idea who this woman is. also, his 2024 presidential campaign says the decision will be appealed and ultimately, quote, we will win. now, the verdict carries no criminal implications, and the legal bar for liability in a civil case is not as high as that in criminal cases. you can watch the full interview with carroll later on "today" at 7:00 right after "today in the bay." >> we'll look forward to that. thank you very much, drew. 5:05 this morning. and we are about 20 minutes away from getting in critical data on inflation. scott mcgrew is joining us. we've been talking about this time and time again, the number up and down -- not necessarily down, but up.

>> i think what we're seeing is a trend down. we have definitely seen some peaks, but i think we're trending down. the fed has been raising interest rates essentially trying to tamper our economy, and it is a good economy. on friday we got that jobs number, very strong, showing lots of growth, wages were up. you have these two forces battling each other, a strong american economy, a fed that keeps trying to slow it down. the consumer price data that we'll get is coming in at 5:30 this morning and that's a monthly look at how that battle is going, the cpi. >> it tells us pretty much the price of everything. >> i enjoy this part of it. it's amazing the work they put into it, they measure the price of eggs and televisions and rental cars and put that together into two numbers, the headline, the inflation number, and then there's the core that ignores the cost of food and energy because those can move up and down so much they sometimes give you a bad reading. >> you've been explaining to a lot of people who don't necessarily understand this, but do you think the cpi report --

what do you think about this? is it going to have an impact on the decision we see in the future? >> if there's a huge unexpected number, i think the fed will take note of that. terrible inflation, or it really sank. the fed has a different index that it looks at, personal consumption, when it makes its decisions. if there is something really shocking today, you could see more interest rate hikes, or right now the fed is talking about giving it a rest, maybe not raising rates for a while. but if this number is out of control, then they certainly would. >> we'll be following that. don't want to see it get too high. >> 5:30. san francisco supervisors have unanimously approved a resolution following a heated hearing at city hall. >> justice for banko brown. >> justice for banko brown. >> protesters last night briefly took over the hearing, which centered on the deadly shooting of a suspected shoplifter by a

walgreens security guard. the new resolution calls for the release of video evidence tied to the shooting, which district attorney brooke jenkins is refusing to do, as long as the investigation is still active, calling the very idea unethical. jenkins has also said the shooting may have been in self-defense. supervisor aaron peskin says there's a lot more in play. >> it is creating -- as you can hear, it is creating community unrest and the best way to alleviate that is for the district attorney to show this video. >> the new resolution carries no legal weight, but one supervisor is now talking about a resolution to prohibit armed store security guards from drawing their weapons to protect property. a double shooting in oakland, and so far no word from oakland police about possible suspects or a motive. this is in that shooting near castlemont high school. it happened before 6:00 last

night on macarthur boulevard. police say the victims are a woman and a boy whose age has not been released and the extent of those injuries not yet known. taking a live look in san jose this morning, as we get started dark and early. meteorologist kari hall is monitoring what we can expect from this forecast today. and i think it's going to be nice, right? >> yeah, we have another really comfortable day ahead. it does start out cool with our temperatures right now in the upper 40s. it is 44 in palo alto and 52 in san francisco. we're seeing some upper 40s in martinez, as well as much of the north bay. let's head over to antioch, where it's 54 degrees. look at those winds coming in from the west at 29 miles per hour, gusty there as the winds come through the delta. as we go into today, lots of sunshine. it's going to stay windy, but our temperatures stay down, only reaching into the upper 60s today. there will be a couple of spots reaching the low 70s like fairfield and santa rosa.

much warmer temperatures ahead as we go into the weekend. we'll talk more about it coming up in a few minutes. mike has a look at lower gas prices. >> today we're doing the countdown. let's call out arco on north capitol avenue at $4.13. we visit an old favorite for marin county at $4.11, hq fuels on shoreline highway. and, again, dublin's price wins the day with $3.89 on amador valley boulevard. same thing going on for santa clara, there's a station there for the best in the south bay. gasbuddy is where you're doing your reporting. the sensors moving smoothly. here in the tri-valley there is more slowing on highway 84 where the arrow is, coming down toward 680. there was an earlier lane shift, so there's some distractions, slowing, brake tapping.

the purple area, the overnight construction, that might be clearing already. i'll track that. back to you. 5:10 right now. elon musk now looking to take twitter communications to the next level. coming up, the new features, some of which may echo other platforms. and the new layer of privacy you may find yourself taking advantage of. >> and how about starting your mother's day celebration early? i know a lot of moms are, like, why not? we're going to tell you sweet deals you can give your mom as soon as today and we're going to hear from one of our very own "today in the bay" moms. much more

good wednesday morning. it is 5:13. let's head to the north bay. we're checking out novato where it's all clear, calm wind, 45 degrees. chilly start. slowly it warms up, but we are getting lots of sunshine today, and our temperatures are held down for one more day before it starts to heat up. we'll get a look at the hotter weekend forecast in a few minutes. oakland camera northbound with the taillights toward downtown oakland and all the way to the bay bridge without any slowing. i do believe north 680 has just reopened. i see some traffic flowing through. good morning. very happy wednesday to you. marcus and i were talking about the inflation numbers just a few minutes at the top of the newscast.

those are coming at 5:30. airbnb reporting profits tuesday afternoon. it had nothing but good things to say about profits and bookings. bookings are at a record, but it was cautious about future outlook. i think investors are going to punish that company today. wall street also starting to take the lack of progress over the debt ceiling seriously. credit default swaps insurance on american debt are more expensive than they've ever been, more expensive than countries like brazil. it's starting to dawn on investors that the government could mess this up. moody's predicts if the debt ceiling is not raised, 7 million americans will lose their jobs, the unemployment rate will rise and the stock market will loose one-fifth of its value. >> elon musk says twitter will soon offer direct encrypted messaging. that's already available on most

platforms. many users ignore twitter dms because of spam. and a new augmented reality game from the bay area for your phone, same folks that made pokemon go. you grow a virtual pet, put it out in the world and care and feed it. the game director's tells me, you can't kill it. >> they don't die. they'll be very excited to see you and to have this amazing interaction with you when you come back to play with them. but it's more of an experience that we try to keep cozy and casual and we don't want to have your amazing new best friends, you know, dying on you. >> good decision on that. >> yes. >> it is cool that ar, and you've seen that before, where you can point your camera at something and something appears. >> it's amazing. >> it is really neat. i liked the picture with the dog, the real life dog and then

whatever they're called, peridot. >> you can take it on vacation with you, too. >> you're never alone. >> thanks, scott. ♪♪ ♪ for all those times you stood for me ♪ ♪ for all the truth you made me see ♪ today we are kicking off a special celebration, honoring all moms. traditionally in mexico, people celebrate mother's day every may 10th and here in the u.s. we celebrate the second sunday of may, which this year falls on may 14th. there are many ways you can honor your mother or mother figure in your life, and if you're on a budget this might be the thing for you. kfc is giving out free nuggets to all moms starting today. if you buy the nuggets of appreciation meal, kfc will include 12 free chicken nuggets.

that's good until mother's day. you will have to order on the website or app at participating kfc markets. >> something for mom and something for all of her little birds. >> i went online and i couldn't do it. >> you're not a mom. >> it knew that. ai yet again. trending this morning, one new mom is getting ready to celebrate her first mother's day following her miracle birth. >> at one time this woman was told she would never be able to have a baby. she went from planning a wedding at 30 years old, sadly she was battling breast cancer. she went true treatment during the height of the pandemic and believed her dream of having a baby was impossible. when her cancer went into remission last year, she said she decided to try anyway and visited a fertility center. >> called and confirmed, hey, you're pregnant, your hormone levels are way up. >> you were pregnant at that appointment? >> i was pregnant at that

appointment, i just didn't know. >> yay, look at her miracle baby. mom says her mother's day will be filled this year with a whole new sense of gratitude. >> i love that. >> darling. >> also, in the spirit of celebrating mother's day, happy early mother's day to you out there, there's wisdom from one of our "today in the bay" moms. >> be courageous and be strong and be yourself. >> i think you've been an example of that over the years and i appreciate everything that you've sacrificed and all the love you've shown me. >> thank you. >> kari and mama hall there. i love seeing you altogether. >> we have such a good time together and it really is special to have that relationship with your mother. i feel so blessed. and the fact that she's able to help me raise my children. >> and that you're able to show that sense of gratitude now in

person, it's so important. >> does she ever turn to you and point to the kids and, go, see, now do you understand? >> that, too. it all comes full circle. so we're going to try to make sure the weather is nice for mother's day. i know we're making plans and trying to do things, make plans to make it extra special over the next few days. we're starting out with a cool and also mostly cloudy morning for some spots. in san francisco we're going to start out with clouds but then see it clearing out as we go into the afternoon. we're going from low 50s to upper 50s here, and at times it's going to be windy. the seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen. check out your microclimate as we get a look at today's high temperatures, 64 in san mateo and 62 in oakland, in the upper 60s for concord, san jose reaching 68 degrees, and 64 in

novato. as we go through the next few days it does start to heat up. tomorrow it's in the low 70s, upper 70s for fairfield, and friday it's already going to be in the upper 70s for san jose, and 77 for novato, while santa rosa is going to be hitting 82 degrees. so looking at the warm air surging in as high pressure builds, we're also going to see a couple of systems across the region that's going to bring a big change going into the middle of next week. we will have several days of well above average temperatures. take a look at fairfield, how hot it gets, going from upper 60s today to mid-70s tomorrow, low 80s on friday, and then peaking at 92 degrees on saturday. then it does come down just a little bit in time for mother's day as we get some breezy winds. that's also when we're going to be watching out for a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms. the higher chance will be over the sierra and moving over parts of the central valley.

we're going to be watching to see if one or two of those cells make it into the bay area. and then the temperatures come down a few degrees, while san francisco will go from low 60s to mid-70s for the weekend. mike, you have good news for tri-valley drivers. >> for some, it's not necessarily our main commute direction. but like we thought over on northbound 680, you look at all the green sensors, more for the northbound direction as, indeed, those caltrans cameras showed more traffic heading north after it was closed overnight. highway 84 there's still slowing around the approach toward the hitachi plant. smooth drive. it looks like signs of more construction and that might be a distraction. we're looking at vasco road 20 minutes, a great drive toward 580. no surprises over in that portion of the bay. across the bay, both directions of i-80 show a smooth drive. back to you. >> thank you so much. when we hear the word cancer it scares a lot of us.

if you or someone you might know might be impacted by skin cancer, now there's a new and promising advice to help improve the diagnosis. ahead, the medical center where bay area patients are already benefitting. we'lbe right back.l

welcome back. it's 5:25 right now. one in five americans will

develop skin cancer in their lifetime. in addition to thinking about sun protection, doctors want people to know about tools for catching skin cancer. they're working to raise awareness in the month of may. according to the skin cancer foundation in the u.s., almost 98,000 people will be diagnosed with invasive melanoma, and almost 8,000 of them will not survive. more men than women will be diagnosed. doctors are using nuclear medicine like p.e.t. or ct scans to diagnose cancer and evaluate treatment. one nuclear medicine doctor explains the benefits. >> when a skin lesion is biopsied and determined that it's a type of skin cancer, you want to know if it's localized just where the lesion can be seen on the skin, or if it has spread. so nuclear medicine is an

imaging tool using an amount of radioactive drug that will show pictures of where it has potentially spread. >> then they can develop treatment for it. doctors have also using nuclear medicine to determine whether skin cancer has spread to even your lymph nodes. 5:26 this morning. an oakland family in never-ending limbo. the teacher strike and the unexpected boon it is having on other city programs. >> and a story you will only see on nbc bay area, one student attacked by intruders in the middle of algebra class, leaving teachers and parents demanding action. the health advisory for people walking in dow

. right now at 5:30, people in one east bay city being ordered to stay away after a mercury spill. we'll take you there live with the latest on the cleanup and an update from health experts on potential contamination. >> plus, striking oakland teachers seemingly in a stalemate. the unusual ripple effect being felt as families struggle to adjust. >> also, home court advantage. let's hope so. we're going to take you live to thrive city to preview tonight's

make-or-break moment for the dubs as they fight for their playoff lives. this is "today in the bay." and good morning to you on this wednesday. wishful wednesday we call it because of the warriors. >> i'll go with that. >> 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. how is it going to be heading to work? >> it looks cool and a little bit of a breeze kicking up in parts of the bay area, but it's our typical start to the morning. as you're heading out in oakland, it's 50 degrees and we'll see a lot of clouds around 10:00. the marine layer is sliding in and will hold the temperatures down, only reach about 62 for the oakland area, 64 for hayward. much of the inner bay in the low to mid-60s with upper 60s as you make your way inland. cooler than normal, but it will be heating up soon. mike, you're hearing about a

hit-and-run in the south bay. >> yeah, southbound 880, right where you make the flyover to 287. hearing about a crash involving three vehicles, but two of them took off immediately, did not stop to give a report. one of them is on the shoulder. the good news, i don't hear about any injuries. the bad news, that's officially a hit-and-run. if you hear anybody talking about a crash that happened before 5:30, maybe call chp once you get to work. the rest of the bay showing a nice, easy drive. green sensors around most of the drive. we'll see the sensors change a bit on the bay bridge as we see more traffic coming through. this morning, a health advisory is being issued for some people who live in the east bay. mercury, a toxic chemical, accidently spilled in parts of martinez. >> "today in the bay"'s bob redell joins us live from that scene of the spill. i can only imagine folks around the area are just nervous about what's going on. should they be worried?

>> reporter: perhaps. good morning to you, marcus and laura. what happened is a garbage truck accidently spilled mercury in the parking lot of the martinez amtrak station behind me. you hear the morning trains coming in right now. they accidently spread it through some of the local downtown area. contra costa health does not believe there's a risk of breathing the air in this area, hence the reason why we're standing out here. they are concerned about people stepping in it and possibly bringing it into their homes. the county has shut down parts of the train station parking lot. investigators say the mercury was inside a garbage bin at the train station. on monday, the driver of a truck that was picking up waste accidently spread it on the route back to the dump. it's unclear how much was spilled on the local streets here in martinez or in that parking lot. the county put up these signs asking anyone walking in the contaminated area not to walk on the road. please stay on the sidewalks,

instead, because the mercury has only been found in the roadways and gutters. the health department doesn't want anyone tracking this into their homes where they could be exposed to harmful vapors. several city blocks are impacted and scheduled for cleanup. we're talking about marina vista to alhambra avenue, buckley street and berrellesa. the county is hoping to finish cleanup as soon as possible, especially before the hot temperatures this week. >> we're going to have crews up for the next one to two days conducting cleanup of the minor contamination that we've located today on the city streets. and one of the things that they will be doing is monitoring the air to ensure that not only are the cleanup crews safe, but also the residents that are passing through the area. to ensure the sidewalks are still safe as well. >> reporter: the health department says some mercury did get into a storm drain. they are now working with the

fish and wildlife and water quality agencies to determine if that drain leads to a waterway and if that mercury could end up in the san francisco bay and potentially our food supply. police are trying to figure out how the mercury got into the trash bin in the amtrak martinez parking lot. the county believes that based on the amount that mercury most likely came from an industrial setting. reporting live here in martinez, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> interesting stuff there. let's hope everybody stays safe. thanks, bob. you send your kids to school and they are attacked. not something parents want to deal with. and only here on nbc bay area we're going to tell you this story about parents and students, there are still so many unanswered questions here. this is after an attack inside a classroom at san ramon's california high school. that entire incident caught on video. now, this is what you're looking at right here. police say three teenagers not

affiliated with that school made their way into that algebra classroom and this happened. we actually spoke with another student who says the attackers pushed down the teacher, tackling one of the students, and then punched and kicked him. police say that suspect -- or the suspects here, they have been identified and now face criminal charges. but that incident still leaving many of those parents and students unnerved. >> honestly, yesterday was just a little bit scary. like, i don't really understand how that can happen, you know, especially because everyone was scared. >> even though we take the safety of our students very seriously and our parameter is usually -- perimeter is secure, unfortunately students allowed those students from a different school onto the campus. >> other students wondering how administrators and staff never detected this was happening. but of course as you heard him say, the students on the campus there let those students who attacked them inside. they, too, will face discipline.

you send your students to school and you think they're going to learn, but the teachers strike now seemingly turning into a stalemate in oakland. negotiations are ongoing, but once again, teachers won't be in the classroom. they'll be back on the picket lines with the strike moving into its fifth day. more parents are sending their kids to other places to learn. the east oakland youth development center has expanded the hours of its after-school program and workers say more children are taking advantage. >> they also know they're going to get supplemental education here, so we aren't just an after-school program in the fact that we do homework help and send you off to play. we do reading support, break down how to do different math homework and the different tools they can use to take agency over their learning. >> the district says less than 5% of kids across 80 schools attended classes yesterday. moving on, will the warriors continue their season? we're just hours away from an

answer when game five of the western conference semifinal tips off against the lakers. >> this is all becoming a win or take yourself home situation. we all can agree, it is just too early to go home. we don't want to go home. "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab live for us outside chase center. ginger, we are guessing the tensions will be high tonight, because we want to see our warriors advance. >> reporter: of course. nobody wants to go home. i don't want to go home. maybe i'll just stay here until the game tonight. it is a must win, a do or die scenario. it's going to be a decisive game five here at chase center hours from now. happening tonight here in san francisco, the warriors are looking to bounce back from two road losses that have set them back 3-1 in this western conference semifinals. all that despite a triple-double from steph curry monday night. now, the warriors have been in the hole 3-1, behind 3-1 before.

they're looking to bounce back and come back as they have before. >> i thought our whole team really came out and played with a purpose and played well enough to win. but we just didn't get it done. they made the plays down the stretch, we didn't. we've been in these series for a long time, for a decade now, and we understand the swings, the back and forth. so we've just got to get ready. >> reporter: now, the warriors looking to leave everything out on the court tonight. and if you want to watch that action in person, it won't be cheap. tickets range from $300 to over $21,000 for those courtside tickets. and if that isn't in your price range, there is an option to come out to thrive city and watch the game on the big screen. that is for free. probably a nice option for many. the game starts at 7:00 p.m. i think, marcus, laura, you guys

are talking about it, the anxiety, the excitement. you can probably already feel it, right? >> definitely. we've got to do it. >> reporter: if any of those players are waking up early. >> you said they're going to have to leave everything on the court. as long as it's a win, they can leave it on the court. >> and do it at home. i think they play better at home. >> i think their record has shown that, and of course with us all rooting them on. i'll buy you guys those free tickets. >> i know, right? >> wait, what? >> that's my price, $3.99. >> ginger, hold our spot. at least the weather is going to hold. it's a little too late for me to be out, but it's going to be chilly. let's get a look at the temperatures later this evening, in thrive city it will be in the mid-50s and also gusty. those winds kicking up at about 23 miles per hour, and that's at 7:00. it does get even cooler as we go into the night, dropping down to

about 53 degrees by 9:00. and, yeah, it's going to be mostly clear. so at least we're good there. earlier in the day, in the same area, like right across the street, we've got the giants game going on. that one starts at 12:45, and so the earlier part of the day still windy, and our temperatures reach only up to about 60 degrees, and then start to come back down. so overall a cool day in the city as you make your way inland, it will be much milder with concord and san jose reaching 68 degrees, 71 in santa rosa and 64 in san mateo. we'll talk more about this and the warm-up ahead. mike, you've been watching so far the commute for this wednesday is looking pretty good. >> yeah, which includes -- well, wednesday, heavier volume, so it's looking good at the bay bridge on the approach and we're seeing the backup at the toll plaza. this looks standard, but i want to show you the speed sensors. getting into the city, we see a lot more slowing on the decline. something going on around civic center, one of the first exits,

from the speed patterns. no reports for chp but that buildup suddenly happened on the city side. we'll follow that and let you know if you have to find a reroute. no delay for b.a.r.t., so that is an option if you're considering watching that. you see the slower drive, but then that will also be midday because the giants are playing today at oracle park, a midday game, so that will affect traffic during the lunch hour on the approach to the game, and then after the game. when the game gets out, that might be about the same time as the crossover for some folks heading to thrive city to watch outside for the bargain ticket, or inside if you've got the $300 to $21,000. whatever the case, that's going on at chase center. warriors are battling it out. folks are heading home to watch the game. back to you. coming up, dianne feinstein is back in washington, expected at the capitol at any time. we'll have the very latest. >> plus, oakland is taking action against sideshow activity by imposing fines for violators.

i'm emma goss. i'll tell you what's in the proposal that

good wednesday morning. it is 5:45. we're heading over with a live look in dublin. we're seeing clouds rolling by and the sun rising as we speak. we've got about another 17 minutes until sunrise, and it's 52 degrees.

we're starting out with clouds but we'll end the day with sunshine, and we're still keeping the cool weather for one more day. we'll talk about a significant warm-up as we head closer to the weekend, that's coming up in a few minutes. checking our view from palo alto, headlights coming north toward university, looking at a smooth flow of traffic along 101 and 280 between san francisco and the south bay. the build, though, is going on in the east bay. we'll check the bay bridge coming up. a quarter until 6:00 right now. this morning a proposal to crack down on sideshows in oakland is moving forward. >> late last night the oakland public safety committee passed a resolution that would impose fines on illegal stunts and it comes after we saw the wild stunt over the weekend. "today in the bay"'s emma goss has more on the potential impact this could have on public safety. >> reporter: this resolution means that anyone who participates in a sideshow could be subject to a $1,000 fine, jail time or both.

illegal sideshows have become a weekly issue, particularly in east oakland where streets, even highways are taken over on weekends by sideshows. you might recall over the weekend one car caught fire and a man in a mask was seen ramping into it in another car. oakland city council member gallo, whose district represents east oakland, spoke passionately to push for the resolution imposing fines. >> the bottom line for those of us that live in challenged areas, we're investing millions and millions of dollars to make sure that the crosswalk that my child or family cross is visible, and it is clear and safe, but yet here comes these other groups at nighttime making their circles, burning out their tires, creating safety issues not only for themselves, but for those people that live there in the neighborhood. >> reporter: there's also a

financial impact to the resolution. oakland's department of transportation estimates the cost of the damage caused by sideshow activity at a typical intersection averages $16,000 per intersection to repair, and overall police budget nearly $2 million a year for sideshow response efforts, which typically costs more than what's in their budget. the ordinance goes to oakland city council for approval and is up for discussion next week. emma goss for "today in the bay." >> thanks so much. it is 5:47 right now. president biden ally diane dine feinstein is back in washington after missing dozens of votes in the senate. >> the california senator has not shown up to the capitol yet. >> she is not at the capitol yet. it's almost 9:00 a.m. there. we do have nbc cameras ready to go when she does. california's senior senator, very senior, she's 89 years old,

and influential democrats have been encouraging her to step down, citing concerns about her mental acuity and her health. she's been recovering from shingles at her home in san francisco for months and has missed 91 votes. the most critical votes are in the senate judiciary committee, where republicans have been able to hold up some of president biden's choices for federal judges. feinstein's office says her absence did not slow that process down but that's not correct. house speaker kevin mccarthy met with president biden yesterday at the white house. president biden wants to raise the debt ceiling to avoid default, mccarthy says he's only agree if biden agrees to cut back on current spending. here are the two sides shortly after the meeting. >> as i raised in the meeting, when they said, we're going to cut and no spending more money, what the hell happens, are you

going to cut people at the border, are you going to cut agents at the border? we need more at the border, not less at the border. >> everybody in this meeting reiterated the positions they were at, i didn't see any new movement. the president said the staff should get back together. i was very clear with the president, we have now just two weeks ag. >> you heard biden say he would be forced to cut spending at the border. that's not wrong, but it's not exact, either. republicans are demanding cutbacks in spending, but haven't specified where. this has given biden some freedom to give examples of spending cuts that americans wouldn't like, cuts in the border patrol, veterans benefits, that kind of thing. it would take effect almost immediately. far more worrisome than cuts is if there is no agreement. economists warn if america does not raise its debt limit, it will default and the resulting recession would cost millions of jobs.

>> thank you very much, scott. we'll follow it all. 5:50, also following the forecast. taking a look outside at san francisco. the clouds hovering on this wednesday morning, halfway through our workweek. i understand a warm-up is on the way. >> we have one more day of nice weather. let's head to morgan hill. as you're heading out the door, it is 46 degrees, we have a lot of clouds overhead and we're going to see clouds with a little more sun as we go toward late morning and into the afternoon. temperatures at about 61 degrees at noon, and eventually making it up to 69 there. 68 in cupertino for a high today, east san jose reaching 70 degrees. the east bay, we're also in the low 60s, but upper 60s as you make your way into the valleys with concord reaching 68 degrees, 64 in hayward and 65 in pleasanton. near the coastline, we have 60s in the forecast, daly city

reaching 60 degrees, in san francisco some low 60s for today, with the downtown area headed for about 61 degrees. a lot of activities happening in the city today sports-wise. we're going to see also temperatures up to about 71 in santa rosa, while clear lake will reach a high of about 66 degrees. so once again, one more day of the milder weather before the heat starts to ramp up as high pressure builds across the region. once the high pressure gets to the east of us, it's going to start to give us an easterly wind flow. it could push a little closer to the bay area as we head toward mother's day. but, also, with the high heat and you're making weekend plans, you want to make sure you're planning your day around the weather, and sunnyvale there is a taste of the world and wine stroll happening on saturday, and as we go into the middle of the afternoon, that's when temperatures will be the warmest. but not too bad there with some low 80s. for the coastline, we're going from highs in half moon bay in the 50s to mid-60s for the

weekend, with saturday and sunday the warmest day, up to about 65 degrees. so really comfortable there, while some of our valleys will be hitting 90 degrees. we'll be in the upper 80s on mother's day and a flight chance of an isolated storm on sunday and monday, but then our temperatures come down. in san francisco we're going from low 60s to mid-70s for the weekend. mike, you're seeing the wednesday commute building. >> we are. no surprises at the bay bridge toll plaza. we see a slower drive into the city. no incidents on the span. you do see recovery from whatever was going on on the decline and the backup at the toll plaza, resulting in a lighter flow of traffic. slow for highway 37, but there may be something going on near the carquinez bridge. i wanted to show you the bigger build, highway 4 really stretching out from antioch into pleasant hill, south to 242. a heavier volume this wednesday, slowing typical for san jose.

over here san martin and morgan hill. back to you. >> thanks so much, mike. happening now, san mateo county is strengthening regulations meant to prevent children and young adults from buying tobacco. supervisors have passed an ordinance last night that increases permit fees, fines and inspections of retail shops that are caught selling those products to anyone under the age of 21. it also prohibits new tobacco sales permits within 1,000 feet of a school or park. the new ordinance applies to unincorporated areas of the county. >> beyonce is back. the mega star hitting the stage today. prices are pretty insane. still ahead, the extreme measures some fans are taking just to catch the show. then at 6:00, we continue to monitor that hazmat situation in the east bay. mercury spilled onto the streets of martinez. the warning you need to know about this morning. first, a quick reminder, you

the time that is when worker wages were paid and you needed that money because they like to have mariachis and lots of celebrations. >> is that a hint? >> yes. >> i love a good mariachi. >> fun. >> happy early mother's day to both of you, and your wife. >> and happy mexico mother's day. a lot to get to this morning. still thinking about beyonce. >> and stockholm. >> that might be a little more expensive. let's get to the news. breaking right now at 6:00, the inflation slowdown gathers momentum. a welcome new sign for those struggling to make it in the bay. scott mcgrew is going to break down the new numbers just coming into our newsroom. >> this is not about the money. this is about getting my name back. >> writer e. jean carroll speaking out after
