tv   Today in the Bay  NBC  May 12, 2023 5:00am-6:01am PDT

5:00 am
and we begin with breaking news this morning. a 5.2 magnitude earthquake striking in this morning.
5:01 am
>> the aftershock happened just after 3:00 a.m. our seismograph picked up the shaking after a 5.5 magnitude yesterday in the same area. the quakes hit in a rural part of the sierra. we have video from a restaurant the exact moment that the earthquake hit. glass flew off shelves, shattered on the floor, outside cameras caught the initial jolt as well, then stopped suddenly. now the patrons are assessing the damage. >> we noticed there were drips coming in where we're standing from all of our liquor bottles that broke upstairs in our storage room. >> no injuries have been reported for either of the earthquakes. to our other top stories, all eyes on the southern border this morning, that covid-era policy known as title 42 which allowed immigration officials to quickly turn away people at the
5:02 am
mexican border is over. >> "today in the bay"'s brie jackson along the border fence in el paso, texas, with more. what's happening now, brie? >> reporter: good morning, laura, marcus. so far it's been a quiet morning at the southern border, so we're where el paso, texas, and mexico meet, and so far we've mainly just seen law enforcement officials coming back and forth through this area. we haven't seen any migrants so far this morning. the biden administration stressing that just because title 42 is over, that does not mean that the border is open and is warning of serious consequences for those that cross illegally. the end of title 42 brings the beginning of a new wave of concerns about migrants entering the u.s. it's been a long journey for this woman and her family. she says they traveled through seven countries before crossing the southern border to el paso,
5:03 am
texas. >> translator: my dreams are many, my first is to give a better future for my kids. >> reporter: thousands of migrants are expected to make similar journeys now that title 42 has lifted. republicans blasted the white house, saying it fails to have a plan in place. >> every american needs to say to the biden administration, you were elected to enforce the law, enforce the law. >> reporter: the biden administration is defending its record, saying it's hiring more border patrol agents, increasing the number of people processing paperwork and enforcing tougher consequences for unlawful entry. >> i cannot overstate how much of a challenge it is going to be and how we all have to deal with it as one administration and one country. >> reporter: federal agencies are also working closely with border communities, and encouraging migrants to take legal pathways into the u.s. or
5:04 am
face consequences. >> we engaged in a very sensitive and humane law enforcement operation to address that challenge. >> reporter: for this 22-year-old mother, it was worth the hardship. >> translator: since getting here, i have the hope and even more faith that i can accomplish everything i want. >> reporter: officials are holding their breath, while migrants are holding out hope. and the aclu swiftly filed legal challenges against the biden administration's new restrictions saying that they put -- they cause harm or could put harm on those vulnerable asylum seekers, which could be put in danger because of the new restrictions. >> so much to follow. thank you, brie, for the very latest. bringing you back to the bay area, where people here are trying to help those in need.
5:05 am
many migrants attempting to reach out to other sectors that aren't at the border to help, like the hispanic chamber of commerce in san francisco. the office said it is fielding three to five calls a day. the legal director at the center for gender and refugee studies is now in tijuana and says many people are confused over the new biden policies. >> i didn't see any lines forming or individuals at the ports of entry that i went to, so i went around to different shelters today and what i saw were people who are extremely depressed and confused and really just trying to make sense of very confusing and unjust policies. >> in the south bay, immigration advocates say they are gearing up for an influx of migrants who will end up here. the rapid response network of santa clara county is working to find temporary housing, food and legal assistance for migrants
5:06 am
when needed. new developments this morning on a deadly stabbing in the east bay. a woman now in custody. police say this all stems from a domestic violence incident at an apartment complex on power avenue, not too far from parkside elementary. a man was stabbed in the chest yesterday, later dying. police say they are still investigating the circumstances. taking a peek outside, waiting for the sun's arrival, that's going to warm things up. let's check in with meteorologist kari hall. >> we've been seeing a lot of clouds to start out our morning and it's going to be mostly clear for much of the bay area. right now temperatures are in the mid-50s for some spots, but upper 40s in san rafael, 48 degrees as you step out the door. we're also going to see temperatures in the upper 40s through 7:00, and then as we go through the rest of the morning reaching into the upper 60s. you can see how much more quickly it will be warming up
5:07 am
today compared to yesterday, with novato reaching up to 78 degrees, about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday, and 82 in concord and 78 in san jose. tomorrow we reach the peak of those temperatures are upper 80s and low 90s for the inland valleys. so i'll have more on that coming up in a few minutes. mike has a look at where we can find lower gas prices. >> we no longer in the bay area have any of the state's ten cheapest prices listed on gasbuddy's website. we still have some deals. south bay, cupertino car wash shows up with $4.07 a gallon, same price over in marin county, the arco on redwood highway. contra costa county, we jump up. the entire county is showing about $4.25 around the city of concord, on grant street, that's $4.28 in the same range. the roadways are moving smoothly right now. we will talk about this going on for the off-ramp, your commute
5:08 am
direction on the upper eastshore freeway, the off-ramp affected by a crash. no slowing, no incidents reported. i'm going to say the commute right now is looking good for early drivers. nurses celebrated across the world today, may 12th is international nurses day. here in the u.s. it culminates national nurses week, a time to show extra appreciation for those in the profession. >> and time to amplify the concerns of a job hit hard by the pandemic. as ginger conejero saab explains, more than three years later, nurses are still trying to bounce back and are asking for our support. >> reporter: deborah has been a nurse for the past 45 years and she loves it. >> i love working with all of my co-workers and i think that really makes nursing a doable job, is that we have the support of all of the nurses that we work with. and we couldn't get through the day if we didn't know that they had our back.
5:09 am
>> reporter: but a lot has changed since she first entered the field. >> the pandemic and the political climate have made workplace violence a real issue in a lot of our facilities. we also have a bill in california, it's 10-01, and that would ensure that there were behavioral health therapists on shift to help us deal with behavioral emergencies and people that are in crisis. >> reporter: safety is a constant concern, and it was a driving force for this filmmaker to create what she calls a love letter to nurses. >> i wanted nurses to know that there are people out there who support you and have seen what you've gone through and they really care. it didn't stop when the height of the pandemic was over. we still really care and we're
5:10 am
still fighting for you. >> reporter: the film "nurse unseen" is a personal tribute to her aunt, a pediatric oncology nurse who helped raise her and her siblings. but the film is not just for the community, but for all nurses who she says give and risk so much. ginger conejero saab, "today in the bay." 5:09 this morning. next here on "today in the bay," raising the stakes. the airline whose pilots are hitting the picket line, the demands they're making and what the company is saying about impacts on flights. >> plus, still don't know what to get your mom for mother's day? flowers are always nice. we're going to take you live to the one place in the bay area expected to be very busy this weekend. >> the nurse ginger talked to, not the only person who loves her job. turns out a lot of people do. but first -- ♪♪ >> i like that.
5:11 am
so that's the jonas brothers new song "miracle" on their sixth studio album. they're celebrating by kicking off the concert series on the "today" show. you can check their performance out on "today"
5:12 am
5:13 am
good friday morning. it is 5:13.
5:14 am
let's head to gilroy, where temperatures are 46 degrees. very humid and fog drifting around. once it clears out, we have sunshine and a warm-up that will happen more quickly than we've seen before. still overall a nice and warm day. we're looking at oakland, a live look for the nimitz. 880 southbound, the headlights move smoothly. out of downtown oakland, highway 4 shows some slowing, there may be a hazard. we'll check on that coming up. good morning. happy friday. pac west bank continues to struggle a day after they said 10% of deposits had been withdrawn. shares in the bank fell about 22%. tesla stocks higher after elon musk said he would replace himself as ceo of twitter. that will give him more time to think about cars, maybe. musk tweeted that she would be starting in about six weeks. he also said he would hold on to a lot of the ceo job, including
5:15 am
product, software and systems. now, the she part helps people narrow it down, though unfortunately not by 50%, right? it didn't take long for people to guess. the "wall street journal" was the first, quoting two people familiar with the matter who said it was nbc executive linda yaccarino. that makes sense. she runs advertising, twitter is desperate for advertising. she also hosted musk at an advertising conference in miami recently. despite the concerns of national advertisers, who left twitter over concerns about musk. just before that conference, an article was published quoting internal emails from executives at places like mcdonald's and albertson's, colgate, raising worries about musk appearing on the stage. the head of advertising of mcdonald's talked about twitter's irresponsibility and the head said she was excited for the success of the
5:16 am
conference and mindful of the harmful and often racist rhetoric of elon musk. nbc news division has reached out to yaccarino, who works for nbcuniversal corporate, but has not been given a response to the possibility she'll be the new twitter ceo. >> other news, the commerce department's latest measures of how happy people are at work shows they're happy, very happy. highest job satisfaction rates than they've been in 36 years. 62% of americans say they are satisfied with their jobs. it makes sense, because wages are up, flexibility is way up, as far as working from home some days or whatnot, and then a lot of people got to change jobs. when the economy was red hot and they needed workers, you could pretty much pick the job you wanted. probably no longer true, but it doesn't matter because you're in that new job, the one you always wanted. >> that's why people are happy. >> you wanted to be a dentist,
5:17 am
and now you're a dentist. >> just skipping school. >> i get your reference there. now to a live look at sfo. that is where united airlines pilots plan to picket starting later this morning. union leaders say this is one of ten u.s. airports where picketing will take place. united pilots say they've been working without an active contract for years, and recent deals at other airlines are raising the pressure for a new agreement. unite said it's trying to negotiate and flights will not be disrupted. ♪♪ ♪ i can buy myself flowers ♪ ♪ write my name in the sand ♪ we are continuing to honor all moms here on "today in the bay." we're just a few days away from celebrating mother's day. >> that's miley cyrus singing. you can buy yourself flowers, but why would you want to? especially in you're a mom. it's mother's day.
5:18 am
if you're looking to get some flowers for the mother in your life, the market in san francisco may be the place for you. here is a live look at the mart and retailers get first choice. then later in the morning it's open to the general public. one manager saying days like this, unpredictable, because it can get busy fast as people try to get flowers last-minute. >> they come, show up, want to see it, touch it, get a sense of the quality, find the best prices. a lot of people wait until the end and the day they need the product, they grab it. >> last minute, they can't be that picky. the market is open to the public at 8:00 this morning and then again at 7:00 tomorrow morning. it will be closed on mother's day, which is sunday, if you didn't know. >> in case you walk into a store and there's flowers everywhere. well, we do all have special messages for all the moms out there. here is mine. take a look. >> i just want to wish a happy mother's day to all you moms out
5:19 am
there, want to be moms, i know how hard it can be. i've been there. don't give up hope. current moms, i know how crazy it can be, but it's a blessing as well. motherless moms, i'm there as well. it's really hard to not have your mom on mother's day. i feel for you. and all you dog moms out there, you keep rocken. >> something for everyone in that one. a lot of different stages of motherhood. >> and different stages of life, too. >> very much so. lived out a lot right here. we're ready to celebrate and we're ready for this warm-up, too. it's going to be warm this weekend and we've been talking all week long about 90s in some spots. we're going to see that and it does continue into mother's day. temperatures in the upper 80s for some of our valleys for mother's day. but today we're just starting that trend, so we're going to be in the upper 70s in san jose today, still not bad and pretty comfortable for any outdoor plans you have. we'll reach 82 degrees in
5:20 am
concord and then for the north bay we're in the upper 70s and low 80s this afternoon. still fairly mild in san francisco. you can see there's going to be a wide range in temperatures, not only for today but the next couple of days, while we're seeing temperatures in the 90s in the interior valleys tomorrow, like in the inland east bay, livermore reaching 91, 93 in concord and santa rosa, we'll be at 73 in half moon bay. so there will be places where we can go and cool off and feel that natural air-conditioning, even on sunday as we're still hitting low 90s. mostly upper 80s from san jose, over to mountain view 86 degrees, and 86 on sunday in napa. if you're traveling to the central valley this weekend, heads-up there will be a heat advisory in effect. their temperatures will be hotter, if you're going to visit parents there. going to be up to 99 degrees throughout the weekend. we have a strong area of high pressure to the north that's going to give us a westerly wind
5:21 am
and it's staying in place, even through next week. so the cooldown will happen very gradually and it's also pushing back any rain chances in the forecast. and we've been looking ahead to see what we're expecting going into the end of summer, early fall, and what we're seeing off of our coast is temperatures are warming up as far as sea surface temperatures, and they're about average or just a little bit cooler than average, but starting to warm up. then we head farther to the south where we look at sea surface temperatures near the equator, and we're seeing it really warming up for an el nino to develop and that could continue to strengthen throughout the next several months. since 1950, there have been 26 el nino events, and this year we're trending toward a moderate strength one for the fall and winter. for us for rainfall, that means that we could see slightly above average rainfall, so we're just looking way ahead. as we focus on the weekend, of course we'll be talking more about how hot it's going to be.
5:22 am
trending toward the upper 80s and low 90s, and we'll still see some warm temperatures for early next week. mike, you're seeing something going on in concord. >> yeah, kari, we're looking at the early commute over here, san pablo, a crash at the off-ramp not really presenting an issue. it's off the roadway. we'll take you over to concord, west highway 4. we're seeing much more slowing than we typically see at the time. the volume is not the issue. there's a disabled vehicle in the middle of the roadway, west highway 4 just before willow pass road. that's an important area as you're coming toward 242. some folks might bail out onto bailey, we'll watch for the shift. i don't think it's going to happen. the rest of the bay moves very smoothly. back to you. 5:22 right now. and next here on "today in the bay." nbc bay area responds. >> uncle sam's working this weekend to help you file your tax return. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we'll show you where next. >> and we want to congratulate

5:33 am
>> reporter: that's right, marcus and laura. you know, he's sharing his story, he also shared that he carries a picture of his years in service in his wallet. roger frey, 91-year-old war veteran, was awarded the bronze medal for his bravery. it's bravery that quickly resurfaced when he was put to the test in this robbery in redwood city. it was sunday afternoon and roger was headed back home from best buy. he says a man on a bike snatched his laptop from the back of his wheelchair as he waited for a bus. roger says he held on to the man's bike as others called police, but that's when he got thrown to the ground. the suspect took off and roger was left injured, with no laptop, which is what helps him communicate with his friends and family. >> i said, hey, give it back to me, and i went after him. he was pounding on me. >> i understand in the climate
5:34 am
that we live in that people are afraid, didn't know if the person had a gun or a knife. but when roger said that nobody came to his aid until after the person left, that just really angered me. >> reporter: well, samtrans says it's investigating the incident, but so far there has been no arrest and there were no cameras to catch the crime. something roger wants to change. he believes the bus stations should have cameras and security that would have been a deterrent, he says, had cameras or security been there. now, roger has been a bit unlucky with that laptop. prior to him getting robbed, it was stolen from his home. but regardless of his string of luck lately, he says nothing is going to stop him from getting back out there. a brave man, indeed. >> that he is. why would someone do that? a 91-year-old and in a wheelchair. >> it's ridiculous. thank you, ginger. happening today, a former

5:49 am
they get ten days off for memorial day. but that may not happen as that june 1st deadline draws closer, marcus. >> scott, thank you. okay, i want you to grab your popcorn as the curtain rises for one of america's largest asian american film festivals, now playing in san francisco and oakland. the 41st annual caamfest rolled out last night. the main attraction the stars of "joyride" which follow friends exploring their heritage through a comedic lens. they called last night's screening a major moment in their careers. >> it's such a big deal, opening a film fest, and one that focuses around asian art and it's at the castle theatre. i'm a queer woman. this is a big deal in a lot of ways.

5:51 am
for mid-70s tomorrow, but you compare that to the 93 in concord and 97 in fairfield, san jose is also going to be warm, upper 80s there and 93 in santa rosa. on mother's day as we're making plans, if you're outside, you'll probably want to be anywhere along the peninsula or near the coastline. that's where it's going to still be very pleasant and comfortable. as you make your way toward the east bay, it's low 80s and then low 90s for livermore and 87 in santa rosa. we're going to reach a high of 90 in los gatos on sunday. we have this large area of high pressure building across the region. it's going to cause near record high temperatures around the pacific northwest. it's going to be warm for us, but it looks like it's not going to budge and that warm weather will continue throughout much of next week. in fact, when we talk about warming, we're also looking at sea surface temperatures that are also starting to warm up a bit along the california coastline. but then as we head down to near the equator, those sea surface
