right now at 5:00, all eyes on the nation's capitol this morning as we await some hotly anticipated rulings that may be coming down from the u.s. supreme court as soon as today. we're live from washington with more. >> oh, my god, it was like somebody put a knife in my

heart. >> one east bay church is left searching for answers after they say someone broke into their temple and set fire to several artifacts. why church leaders say they feel it's a targeted attack. >> also, a live look at the state capitol where lawmakers reached a budget deal late last night. ahead we crunch the numbers and the financial impact it will have on everything that child care, health care and combatting climate change. this is "today in the bay." a very good tuesday morning to you. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm ginger conejero saab in for marcus washington. it is tuesday, as you mentioned, laura. we're rolling through the week. meteorologist kari hall is tracking the weather and what we can expect. kari, a big heat-up is on the way? >> yeah, we're going to be talking a lot about that. but it doesn't happen today. we're still seeing clouds overhead and maybe some mist and drizzle in some spots. temperatures in the mid-50s and

eventually it's going to become a little more sunny as we go toward late morning, as our temperatures today reach into the mid-70s for san jose, really nice and comfortable, a high of 77 in livermore. about the same in martinez and san mateo. we're going to see a temperature of about 68 degrees there today and upper 70s for novato. tomorrow we do see a few numbers going up a couple more degrees in spots like dublin, headed for 77 degrees. still not uncomfortable, but it will be slightly warmer compared to what we've seen recently, and that warming trend continues through the middle of the week into the weekend. i'll have more on that in a few minutes. mike, you've been watching the early-morning commute. any issues? >> we have a couple of incidents on the blotter. nothing major, but this crash at fremont street could be a factor as folks are driving into the city. there's activity right around the fremont street exit. it sounds like everything should be clearing in the next couple

of seconds. i haven't seen a problem on the bridge. other incidents on the shoulder for disabled vehicles. we have one blocking the fast lane around highway 37 in the north bay and another as you're coming down westbound 80. we'll watch the fast lane on the left side as you're heading toward golden gate fields through richmond. another incident on the peninsula, slow lane blocked, south 101, no injuries reported but details are coming in. we'll check on that. >> thank you very much. now to a live look this morning in sacramento. lawmakers worked late into the evening reaching a deal on -- trying to reach a deal on the 2023-24 california state budget. the deal estimated to be $311 billion. the deal allocates close to $5 billion for transit agencies throughout california. $1.1 billion will be allocated to spending more b.a.r.t. there's also funding for clean energy, public health care and education. the budget also sets aside more

than $38 billion in reserve funding. this agreement comes just days before california fiscal year was slated to start on july 1st. in a statement, the governor said in part, we've attached new accountability measures for transit and homelessness investments and we are accelerating our global leadership. on climate by fas trakking the clean energy projects that will create cleaner air for generations to come. lawmakers still need to vote on a series of bills for the budget to take effect. as soon as this morning, some hotly anticipated rulings may be coming down from the u.s. supreme court with the last scheduled day of the current term. brie jackson is live in washington. brie, the one many people seem to be waiting on pins and needles for, student debt forgiveness. >> reporter: yeah, certainly a hotly anticipated ruling. good morning, laura, ginger. justices are weighing the legality of president biden's plan to cancel $430 billion in

student loan debt, all of this before payments are scheduled to resume this fall. officially referenced as biden versus nebraska, a handful of states are asking the supreme court to block the plan. now, those states are arguing that the president went above his legal authority when promising debt forgiveness, however the biden administration insists that it's acting within the law, pointing out that the heroes act of 2003 grants the u.s. secretary of education the authority to make changes to the federal student loan system during national emergencies like the covid-19 pandemic. the plan had been blocked since november following legal challenges, and even more decisions remain in limbo. there's also a case that may ban affirmative action on u.s. colleges and universities, which boosts the number of underrepresented minority students, and another major decision, whether businesses can refuse certain services for lgbtq customers. that case revolves around a colorado website designer who

refused to design wedding websites for same-sex couples. keep in mind, the court can still hold off issuing rulings until after the term ends, but we'll be watching out for these decisions and whether they come out this morning. >> back to the student loan forgiveness ruling, if the justices decide to let the president's program move forward, how much money could borrowers possibly see erased? >> reporter: so if the plan does move forward, they could see up to $20,000 in debt for people who qualify. here is how it breaks down. it would erase $10,000 in federal debt for individuals with incomes below $125,000 a year, or couples that earn less than $250,000. borrowers would receive pell grants -- or who receive pell grants would see an additional $10,000 in debt forgiveness. laura, ginger, this is certainly a ruling that many people are waiting on and could impact --

is expected to impact millions and millions of americans. >> you're exactly right. thank you very much, brie, for the very latest. it is 5:06 right now. >> russian president vladimir putin is speaking out about the rebellion that took place over the weekend. he is branding the organizers of those that threatened his regime as, quote, traitors, saying that they will be brought to justice. now, putin also thanked the russian people for their support and says the crisis has only served to unite the country. meanwhile, president biden insists that the west was not involved in this weekend's events. happening today, the man accused of stabbing a worker in a chinatown bakery is expected to be arraigned today. he is accused of stabbing a woman at aa bakery on stockton street last month. witnesses tell nbc bay area he did not say anything, he just walked in and supposedly

attacked the woman. our investigative unit found that he's had prior run-ins with the law dating all the way back to 1999. this includes an attempted murder conviction for a stabbing in 2016. in just a few hours, the alameda county board of supervisors will consider an ordinance that would make it illegal to watch a side show. >> the ordinance would impose steep fines, possible jail time or even both. "today in the bay"'s emma goss is live in fremont with some of the details. >> reporter: some bay area cities already have laws that ban people from watching side shows, but this is at the county level and this proposal to ban side show spectators subjects violators to a $1,000 fine, up to six months in jail or both. it's being coauthored by the

sheriff. the goal is to give law enforcement another tool to crack down on side shows and the injuries and damage that come with them. side shows often attract hundreds of spectators and add to public safety issues. opponents to the proposal say that it violates the first amendment right to freedom to peacefully assemble. the oakland city council passed an ordinance just last month that makes it illegal for people to organize, facilitate or participate in a side show. but the council did not include a proposal to penalize spectators because officials said it wouldn't clear who they could assign as a spectator. the board of supervisors meets today at 9:30. reporting live, emma goss, "today in the bay." >> thanks a lot, emma. moving on, we've got the investigation still ongoing to see who set religious artifacts at a church in the east bay on

fire. early yesterday morning, parishioners say artifacts at the ascension of romanian orthodox church were set on fire. they found burnt pages of a bible, a charred cruise fix and ashes near an altar. now, a box of cash belonging to a neighboring daycare that was kept in an office in the church was also reported missing. police say they do not have security camera footage to find the suspect. when they arrived, they found the power was cut off to the building. churchgoers say this is a loss hard to deal with. hayward police do not have a suspect yet. they have not said if the case is being investigated as a hate crime. it is 5:10 on your tuesday morning. taking a live look outside, perhaps communication hill up there. well, we're waiting for the sun's arrival.

you know who is already here? kari hall. she has a look at the temperatures today. it's another cool morning, where we usually start our mornings in the low to mid-50s. martinez at 50 degrees, it's 58 degrees in saratoga. as you're heading out the door in belmont you do need the jacket. it's cloudy and we're going to see the clouds linger throughout the morning. another cool day as we stay in the 60s in this area and low 70s as you make your way toward the east bay, with a few spots as warm as 83 degrees. fairfield is one of the spots that will be really hot by the end of the week. we'll take a look at that in a few minutes. mike has a look at where we can find lower gas prices. >> unfortunately, the lower is higher today in the south bay. we have great gas on los gatos boulevard. the lead at $4.17. we have concord with $4.19 at concord super stop on willow

pass road. the best in marin county, $4.35, calling out lucky service on sir francis drake boulevard in san anselmo. on the roadways we're looking at good speeds throughout the bay area. most of the earlier incidents have cleared. here they're clearing another vehicle, three vehicles, i believe, in total involved in a crash. should be off to the shoulder. a traffic break was run. you see slowing south 680 approaching scott creek road. the south bay, once you get past that, is just fine. back to you. >> thanks a lot. new parental controls are coming to tiktok. coming up next, the content filtering tool parents can enable for their underage kids. >> and the latest threat to the american economy, pickleball. wait, pickleball? yeah. >> i love pickleball. >> also, a surprising turn of events for one woman shopping

secondhand. the reason her purchase may not have come from an original seller. stay with us. you're wating "today in the ch

good tuesday morning. the time is 5:15. let's get you ready for the day in the south carolina, as we head out the door in morgan hill. it's 55 degrees, mostly cloudy and it's going to be cloudy throughout much of the morning. only peeks of sunshine here and there, but we should clear out for the afternoon. we're still keeping the cool weather. but it's going to heat up soon. we'll take a look at the seven-day forecast coming up in

a few minutes. we're getting information from a few drivers through the dublin interchange, checking out reports of some smoke, possibly fire. we're looking at a smooth drive past the dealerships and toward the area. we'll scan the reports and scan the live cameras and let you know what's going on. good morning. very happy tuesday to you. another down day for the markets, erasing some of the solid growth in the first half of the year. third quarter starts next week. bay area's lucid making a deal to supply battery technology to aston martin. the ceo quitting ahead of probable cuts in the company. the biden administration on monday announced $1.8 billion in grants to expand broadband in california. the white house comparing it to roosevelt's effort to bring electricity to rural america. the money comes from the bipartisan infrastructure bill. >> we'll get the latest house price data from case-shiller

this morning. last month's read of san francisco house prices led experts to think the worst was behind us, that prices had sunk as low as they'll go. we shall see. >> tiktok and meta are both offering parenting controls. tiktok will allow parents and teens to link accounts and then set filters for words they don't want to see or hear on tiktok. here is a look at the new screens on messenger. if a teen decides to block somebody, messenger will take that opportunity to flash up a screen suggesting they take this moment to talk to their parents about how they can stay safe online and then offer new filters. the parents cannot see the teen messages. >> and a bank analyst is warning injuries from pickleball could cost the american economy $400 million a year. data from ubs shows more than 22 americans play pickleball regularly and analyzing injury reports, they figure one-quarter

of one percent of pickleballers hurt themselves so badly, they have to go to the er or urgent care and that would be the overall cost. is it too early or graphs? here you go. divided by age, young people are on the left. that's you and ginger. as you go across the middle, the 60 and 70-year-olds with injuries per year starting in 2010 going to 2018. see that spike? all of a sudden people around retirement age are hurting themselves much more often. experts say it's pickleball. >> wow. >> no. >> interesting. >> oh, my goodness. >> at least they're out there getting exercise. >> i was going to say, at least you're getting active out there. >> we were just chatting about it, and you're quite a fan of pickleball. >> it's addictive. it's so much fun. any pickleballers out there, call me. i'll play with you. >> it's such a thing. it just blew up. i feel like the pandemic and now it's on retail merchandise.

i felt like that about dodge ball years ago, but it didn't blow up. >> we'll get you out to try, carefully. very carefully. >> thanks, scott. a woman believes her secondhand home decor purchase has more of a checkered past than she was led to believe. >> however, the internet seems to be loving it. earlier this month a woman posted on tiktok that she bought chairs off of facebook marketplace. she claims she bought four of them for $100 and then three years later this happened. >> this is what i saw last night in the south georgia mcdonald's. [ laughter ] >> identical. >> it's identical. those are stolen mcdonald's chairs at mcdonald's, i would kindly return the stolen artifacts to you. i apologize. >> it is important to note that

the origin of the chairs cannot be confirmed and several retailers have sold similar designed furniture in the past. however, the video has been viewed more than 332,000 times on tiktok. >> that's pretty hilarious, you walk into a mcdonald's. >> maybe mcdonald's took the extra chairs she should have. >> maybe they're going to be collectors items. >> ronald mcdonald is borrowing them. they have the same interior designer. >> need a big chair for grimace. let's get a look at the forecast for today. >> starting out cool, cloudy. we're going to have a couple more days of mild weather whether it starts to heat up. clouds over walnut creek once again. in belmont as you're heading out, it's 54 degrees. we'll see temperatures at about 57 at 8:00, still in the 50s at 9:00, and then headed for the low 60s with peeks of sunshine

by late morning. going to be basically a repeat of yesterday where winds pick up and temperatures start to drop. that's after seeing highs reaching into the upper 60s, low to mid-70s for the tri-valley. much of the north bay in the mid to upper 70s as well. so we are seeing some mild weather today. tomorrow we start to see some of those numbers in the inland areas come up a degree or two. we're headed for 82 tomorrow in morgan hill, 84 in santa rosa. san francisco is going to stay in the 60s. we're going to continue to see the cooler weather there while the inland valleys really start to see that heat cranking up. we're going to have to turn on the air-conditioning a little bit more in livermore. it's going to be up to 88 degrees, 87 in san martin. that's what we can expect going into the weekend as a large area of high pressure comes in. it's going to give us more of a northerly wind but it doesn't last for long. temperatures will spike until

saturday and then starting to come back down in time for the fourth of july. take a look at concord. we're expecting temperatures headed for the low 80s today, but then mid-90s on saturday, then the fourth of july is on tuesday and we're only looking at a high of about 80 degrees. that's going to be really pleasant for cookouts and enjoying time with family. we're going to continue with more sunshine for the inland areas while the coastal areas will see clouds today and tomorrow and then sunshine just in time for the weekend. mike, you were getting reports of a fire off 580. >> it technically is off 580. westbound is your commute direction. we heard from someone driving this direction past that b.a.r.t. station, reports of a fire, smoke coming from the b.a.r.t. tracks and b.a.r.t. is currently investigating. it's not reporting any delays for the system traveling through the area and we heard there was going to be some activity. chp might have had some activity. it looks like they have not closed any lanes.

smoke reported somewhere on these b.a.r.t. tracks between westbound and eastbound 580. that would be a problem for both directions. we see minor slowing. perhaps there's activity toward the dublin interchange. they haven't yet cleared 680. tri-valley is where the activity is right now. we'll continue to follow the potential for smoke. back to you. >> thanks, mike. next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> a range that won't properly heat and a frosty reception from the manufacturer. i'm consum investigator chriser

welcome back. nbc bay area responds to a san jose family's kitchen conundrum. >> the family called consumer investigator chris chmura's team. >> good morning. we love it when you send us videos like this one of the wang family's new range. the gas burner suddenly stopped igniting. >> the convection fan works well, so the electricity is on. but when i open the burner, you can just hear the gas is coming out. >> where is that tick sound? the wangs asked the manufacturer, thor, because the $2,000 range is only a few months old and still under warranty. the wangs say a thor tech tried to fix it but couldn't.

what happened next? nothing. after three months of asking and waiting for thor to take action, the wangs contacted us. we contacted thor. it dispatched a new tech who fixed the range. we asked thor for a statement but it didn't respond. the wangs did. they say really appreciate your help. we really appreciate the video. if you have a video or photos of a product that's not working, send them to us. scan this qr code to upload your files to our consumer complaint form online. >> thanks a lot, chris. it's 5:27. coming up next, the top stories we're following today, including new eviction protections for south bay residents trying to make it in the bay. the new program city leaders are proposing and how it aims to help those struggling to stay afloat. >> reporter: and it is really going to heat up as we head into the fourth of july weekend. what fire officials are b

not having a proper active shooter warning in place. >> will it work? details on the new law aimed at fighting price gouging at gas stations. the transparency some say this will now offer consumers at the pump. this is "today in the bay." good morning. i'm ginger conejero saab. marcus washington is off. >> it's nice to have you, ginger. i'm laura garcia. let's start with a look at the forecast. meteorologist kari hall is leading our team coverage this morning on these warming temps we're tracking. it's going to get hot by the weekend. we have a few more days of some cooler weather that's going to continue for at least a little while. as we take a live look outside in san jose and take a look at our temperatures as you're getting ready to head out the door, upper 50s and eventually we'll see the sky clearing as we head for the upper 60s and low 70s today. as we take a look at our ten-day temperature trend, ukiah going

from temperatures in the upper 80s to saturday's temperature, 107 degrees. that's going to be dangerous heat for some of those inland areas. notice how it does come down a few degrees in time for the fourth of july. in brentwood it's also going to be dangerously hot with temperatures reaching over the triple digits from friday to saturday. then we do see temperatures coming down, but it's still going to be extremely dry heading into the holiday. and this hot weather has cal fire on high alert as we are just now one week until the fourth of july and the fireworks stands are starting to pop up in many locations. today we find thom jensen live in the east bay with the warning crews are putting out there. >> reporter: good morning. you were talking about the mild temperatures. it is cool and windy in contra costa county right now, but fire officials are bracing for those hot temperatures you're talking about. brentwood over 100 degrees in a

few days, as they brace for the fourth of july weekend coming up, cal fire and other fire officials are bracing for fire season as well. they say we're officially in fire season. cal fire units across the region are getting their equipment ready. they say, we are officially in fire season now and, even though we had a wet spring, the pending heat poses a threat. >> we're in the dryer hotter days, so light fuels that don't take long to dry out, the grass, they are drying out and burning right now. >> reporter: the unit chief says cal fire units are ready to deploy at a moment's notice. cal fire is reminding folks to be aware of their surroundings, be cautious when you're out there, especially involving any fire. and they're reminding people to get signed up for those early warning notification systems that are available as fire season is here and they can get those quick notifications, ginger and laura, as they get

fire activity increasing. we're hoping to keep the bay doors closed here at station 22 in contra costa county this weekend. >> let's hope we don't see some of the fire problems we have in years past. always such a big concern. thanks for the latest, thom. >> don't forget you can keep up with our news app, we'll send the latest news on conditions straight to your phone. you can put your zip code in for a detailed forecast for your neighborhood. two farms in half moon bay are facing thousands of dollars in fines from cal osha. this is for not properly preparing and responding to a mass shooting earlier this year. zhao is accused of the shootings. he worked at the farms and allegedly shot four people at terra garden and three at concord farms.

a new state law is in effect that will punish oil companies for profiting from price spikes. it's a first in the nation law that began last night. it requires oil refineries to report new data to the state of california, including when they're offline and what their profits are. the california public interest research group says the new law will make a difference on gas prices over time. >> what this bill does is create better transparency in the gasoline marketplace so that we can hold oil companies accountable for needlessly overcharging californians and then penalize them for excessive profits. >> the petroleum association argues the law will actually increase costs and blames state laws and regulations for interfering with gas supply. governor newsom is a big supporter of the law but looks forward to a day when cars will be electric. san jose city leaders are proposing an expansion to a

program which would prevent evictions and help renters make it in the bay. leaders say they're considering a program that would enable those facing eviction free legal advice. the program would designate a place for lawyers to meet with renters facing eviction. this is in addition to the city's eviction diversion program which organizers say looks to bring landlords and tenants together to resolve disputes. the program has been in place since the covid pandemic and happens right in superior court. hot temperatures not only expected here in the bay area but a record-breaking heat wave is sweeping across the southern united states. >> nbc bay area's sam brock reports experts are keeping a close eye on people in tennessee and texas as extreme temperatures could put a major strain on the power supply and leave thousands of people without power. >> reporter: laura and ginger, good morning from baton rouge, which is just one city here in southeast louisiana under an excessive heat warning and that stretches from baton rouge to

new orleans, telling residents that with the humidity it is going to feel up to 120 degrees. this is really exceptional and there is a heat dome right now that is affecting some 12 or 13 states, almost 50 million people. the qualifications for being under an excessive heat warning is close to triple digits and a heat index of 113 to 120. as far as what's going on across the country, a lot of attention this morning on texas because of the electrical issues. there has never been a disruption because of heat waves, but there's a lot of attention on ercot. they say grid conditions right now are normal, operating well. keeping an eye on that, especially after they said that was an unofficial record for june demand earlier this week. tennessee as well, also a state that merits a look because there are nearly 70,000 customers right now in that state with no power this morning and they are waking up to temperatures

approaching triple digits. we're going to be keeping a close eye on everything and have a full report coming up on the "today" show. let me send it back to you. >> thank you so much, sam. it's so concerning there for all the people. meteorologist kari hall has been taking a look at some of the weather conditions along the south this morning. >> my mother-in-law lives in san antonio and it's been not only just hot, but it's been a long stretch of it. it's been happening for so long. there's no relief in sight. then when those overnight temperatures don't get cool enough, that really reduces your body's ability to cool off. so that's when the heat stroke and a lot of those problems start to set in. it's going to be another hot day as we take a look at those temperatures across tennessee, all the way over to the east coast, mid-atlantic coast has been also dealing with some heat that's been recently broken by a line of storms moving through. look at some of those areas like dallas, 103 degrees, memphis 94, oklahoma city reaching 98 today. we talked about the storms as

well. the severe weather that's been breaking out farther off toward the parts of the mid-atlantic coast, all the way to the northeast. they're still looking at more storms for today as we still are dealing with that extreme heat there. now as we bring you back home, some mild weather and a wide range in temperatures with our coastal areas reaching 60 degrees. 69 in hayward today, mid to upper 70s as you make your way inland. we're also bracing for higher heat that's going to start to build each day for the inland areas, with concord reaching 82, santa rosa tomorrow heads for 84 degrees, and we'll see it getting even hotter on thursday, leading into the weekend. so i'll have more on the weekend temperatures and what we're expecting. mike, you've been tracking something hot as well. what's going on? >> this is smoke we saw. over here just off the b.a.r.t. tracks, the great news is as we saw this thick plume of white smoke, the original reports were about dark black smoke coming

from under the b.a.r.t. tracks. we saw it dissipate. i believe they may have things hand right now. no delays reported coming through the area and 580 has not closed any lanes. you see slowing in north 680 and west 580 because of the plume of smoke. it is looking like things are clearing up and no reports of lanes closed or any b.a.r.t. delays. we'll continue to track that at the dublin interchange. we have a crash northbound 880, one source says two lanes are blocked, one says all are blocked. you will have delays and possibly complications as you travel 880 north of 92. you can get on the surface streets and take them past the area and get back onto 880 north of hayward. again, we're tracking the specifics on which lanes are open and we'll follow that. conditions will get crowded around ring central as we look ahead. here is a peek over where the athletics are playing, it's in

the east bay. the bay bridge starts the slowing, the metering lights are activated. not as much slowing as yesterday. still standard there. back to you. >> things picking up. thanks, mike. sounding the alarm on atm theft. coming up, tips local law enforcement are now asking east bay residents to keep in mind when withdrawing crash. president biden telling the world when it comes to unrest in russia, hey, it wasn't us. >> also, a crackdown at costco. how the wholesaler retailer is taking notes from netflix and will now reportedly start monitoring membership sharing. you're watching "today in the bay."

right now at 5:43, let's take a live look out at the golden gate bridge. most of it covered in clouds and also drizzling in the area. it's going to stay mostly cloudy with peeks of sunshine into the afternoon, eventually we'll see sunshine here and along the coastline as well. we'll talk more about that and an inland warm-up in the forecast in a few minutes. smoke here at the dublin interchange just off to the left. you see the dublin b.a.r.t. station and the signage by the movie theatre. west 580, north 680 slow because of the huge plume that has almost cleared from the area. so far, no delays reported for

b.a.r.t. through the area. >> thanks a lot. now, oakland police are reminding everyone the next time you withdraw cash from an am to be alert. this follows an uptick in robberies. some thieves are stealing right from people withdrawing, others following victims home and then stealing their personal belongings. opd remind those withdrawing to always scan your surroundings and confirm that you are not followed. opd says the safest way to use an atm is located inside the bank. president biden will campaign in maryland today. >> his mind will most likely be on russia and the supreme court. >> there's a lot going on. good morning to you. big supreme court decisions could come today. let's start, though, with russia. vladimir putin just a short moment ago used the term civil war to describe the mercenaries that marched on moscow. quote, the military and law

enforcement officers of the russian federation actually stopped a civil war, he said. putin also spoke last night blasting the organizers of the wagner unit for betraying their country and called it criminal activity aimed at weakening russia. yet at the same time, he thanked those wagner soldiers for turning back. putin also put blame on the west saying it had a role in this. now, there is no evidence of that and the west is not going to support someone like yevgeny prigozhin. if there's anyone we would want to be in charge of russia's nuclear weapons less than putin, it's the head of wagner. here is our president. >> we had to make sure we gave putin no excuse, let me emphasize, gave putin no excuse to blame this on the west and blame this on nato. we made clear that we were not involved. we had nothing to do with it. this was part of a struggle within the russian system. >> the u.s. supreme court,

meanwhile, wrapping up its term, still needs to release a number of decisions, including two about education. one, whether schools can use affirmative action if they consider race in their administrations process. the other one about loans. the affirmative action decision will not affect california public schools like cal berkeley because california already outlaws affirmative action in admissions. but if the supreme court says it's wrong, it will affect schools like stanford or university of san francisco. stanford filed a friend of the court brief asking the supreme court to continue to allow affirmative action. stanford says it's important that it be able to diversify the student body. the brief says, quote, stanford's mission of pursuing the betterment of mankind demands that it reacho train leaders from all backgrounds. >> the other major decision is over student loans. the high court is considering

two cases, but there are big questions. does the department of education have the power to forgive student loans under the heroes act? and perhaps just as importantly, do the organizations who oppose loan forgiveness have the right to stop it? we're also waiting for the court to release its decision on a colorado website designer who doesn't want to build gay wedding sites for gay couples. this is kind of a redo of the colorado cake baker case because the supreme court kind of punted that one. and there's the case of a mailman who doesn't want to work sundays. does he have the religious right to refuse? the tricky thing about the colorado case is if the website designer can follow her beliefs about sexuality, what about everything else, what about race, religion and gender? there's nothing that says these cases have to be decided today, but we do expect something major, if only because the supreme court term is winding down pretty quickly, laura.

>> very interesting. a lot to follow there. thank you, scott. 5:48 right now. we're turning to take a look at health care. new this morning, nuclear medicine gaining in popularity with a way to treat some cancers. some patients say it's given them a better quality of life. nuclear cancer treatment can treat prostate cancer, the second most common cancer in men. ucsf has been using it to diagnose cancer in 2020 and to treat cancer. according to ucsf, nuclear medicine can reduce the risk of death by 38% and reduce progression of the disease by 60%. doctors want to be clear the results can be different for everyone. mike fossman got the treatment in 2022 for prostate cancer. he had found other types of treatments and found they left him feeling fatigued. with nuclear medicine he noticed a big difference physically and mentally. >> having been through the other

our inland temperatures will be heating up, we'll reach into the mid-90s, upper 90s in some spots and gradually come down as we head toward the fourth of july. the east bay drive looks smoother. it looks like everything dissipated and speed is starting to improve. there was smoke and slowing around the dublin/pleasanton b.a.r.t. station in the eastbound direction. north 680 cleared up because the smoke has dissipated. the crash has cleared as well north 880. everything is cleared out. quick recovery northbound. southbound a little slowing, typical off the bay bridge toward hayward and the san mateo bridge. here is the backup at the bay bridge, pretty around. it's 5:53, but this is a tuesday. an easier drive than yesterday but more traffic than i expected. back to you. happening now, sonoma county
