those detectors aren't working. i walked through there. >> a big break in the levi stabbing situation, and why some

fans think the security is a long time problem. new information coming to life after a judge issues an order to federal prosecutors. we're live in washington with new details. firefighters still at the scene right now. we will update the investigation and claims made its residents about how it may have started. this is "today in the bay." here we go. thursday morning. thank you for starting your day with us. i am laura garcia. >> i am marcus washington. we will get to traffic with mike in a bit, but first let's look at our forecast. we are starting out in oakland with a live look outside. it's cloudy for now. and as we head throughout the

day, it will clear up. we are going from temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s at lunchtime and only reaching 66 degrees for today. it will reach a high of 62 in san francisco which is cooler than what we have seen recently, and los gatos reaching 79. a lot of these numbers coming down. only 70s for the warm u.s. spots, and many of them inland. morgan hill reaching 81 degrees. look at that, only 69 for a high temperature in fremont tomorrow afternoon. we will get a look at the weekend forecast coming up in a bit. mike, you have one crash still going on? >> it could be in the final clearing stages here in the north bay, and i don't know if it's affecting the connecter. it's too early for traffic to be pulling up over at mare island.

across the bay bridge we with no slowing. look at that. a beautiful drive. taillights all the way into san francisco. back to you. new overnight a deadly train crash about 3 1/2 hours ago near central expressway. nobody on the train was hurt. morning train service is not impacted. firefighters this morning monitoring for hot spots, and this is after putting out a late night grass fire near homes, east of foothill boulevard. the good news, no homes were damaged. neighbors did tell our crew at the scene they heard fireworks shortly before seeing the flames. firefighters not revealing anything about a possible cause. this is not the only late-night

fire in the area. bob redell will have more on that. many are raising flags about how one suspect got a life in the stadium. kris sanchez has been following the details. >> reporter: so levi stadium hosts a lot of events, concerts and festivals and a lot of people say the big concern is not about the fight but how security detectors might have happened. >> those detectors aren't working. >> that's pastor john. he was there on sunday when that stabbing happened within levi stadium during a gold cup match. he said he was not surprised that somebody made it through security with a knife because he and his family were at a

football game a few months ago, and he says he remembers walking through the metal detectors with a pocket knife and scissors. >> i said, do i put my belt off, and he said put your phone and keys and he said, come through. i walked through. >> reporter: he says there was no problem. santa clara police are look into how the suspect ended up with the knife, and he was arrested tuesday in sacramento. a person says he launched an attorney investigation to identify areas for improvement. surely law enforcement asking a lot of questions of the suspect as well, and that suspect, again, was arrested in sacramento. he's expected in court for the first time, likely tomorrow.

in santa clara, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thanks. happening today in san francisco attorneys for a man striking another man with a metal pipe. he's accused of striking a former fire commission back in april. his attorneys later argued he was a case of self defensing claiming carmen yanni as a history of using bear spray on the homeless. he was ordered back in jail after he failed to show up for two other hearings. and then a woman was assaulted, and officers found a 63-year-old woman on the sidewalk and witnesses say another woman pushed her to the ground. the unidentified victim later

died from head injuries. this is the fbi raid that led to charges against former president trump. today in the bay's brie jackson is live for us in washington with a look on this fallout. the decision was recently coming down and shaking up things again. >> that's right, marcus. that decision coming down within the last 24 hours from a federal judge in florida. more information was just made public about the warrant that led the fbi to discover a trove of classified documents. the videos show a former white house valet moving boxes out of a storage area where trump and his lawyers had previously acknowledged having kept classified documents, and there are other allegations mentioned

in the indictment including statements from a trump attorney that he had been told, quote, all of the records that came from the white house were in the storage room, and they were stored in several locations. the magistrate judge stopped short of unsealing the entire affidavit but found additional portions of search warrant application should be cleared. trump's codefendant in the case is expected to be arraigned later today. the former president is accused of breaking seven different laws, and that includes 31

counts of willful retention of national defense information, and in addition to his not guilty plea. >> always a lot to keep up in these cases. thank you. new this morning, california's race for governor may be three years away but somebody is already considering a run. state school superintendent, tony thurman, last night tweeted he intends to run and followed a statement he intends to do so. governor newsom will be termed out in '26. other names being tossed around is rob bonta. looking out in san josé this morning where we are striking a cooldown. kari hall has more on what we can expect.

how low will it go, kari? >> we better all take it in because temperatures are now in the mid to upper 50s. it's 58 degrees as you head out in san mateo, and 52 in martinez and 58 degrees in dublin. in morgan hill going from the upper 50s and cloudy to starting to see more sunshine. the marine layer will roll in and give us morning clouds and clearing out for the afternoon and temperatures warming up and heading for the low 80s in the south county. most of us in the 70s for the inland areas. we will get a look at the weekend coming up, but before you hit the road, mike has a look at gas prices. 3.99 are gone from the south bay, but san josé has 4.09, and

then 4.29, pleasant hill and marin county. these reports come from you on gasbuddy.com. a little slowing out of the altamont. the dublin interchange, if you are coming in from dublin and the dublin state, we are looking at 580. doesn't look like slowing on 680, but no problem out of the altima. back to you. >> thanks, mike. the growing number of americans feeling financicially insecure.. alalso, two popularar airir cucutting tieses. a r recent legal decision leadi to one severed partnership and the impact it may have on fares. still looking for a caterer?

golden

good thursday morning to you. it's 5:14. as you get ready to head to work in foster city, it's going to be a cloudy morning but feeling kind of mild with temperatures in the upper 50s. not much of a change over the next few hours, but a really comfortable day as we get more sunshine this afternoon. the marine layer holding on

longer but bringing cooler temperatures. we'll talk about that in a few minutes. we don't see the fog, which is part of the marine layer talk that kari has got, but the golden gate bridge, they just moved the crew on the northbound side. we will show you the longer drive in the east bay coming up. happy thursday to you. ups drivers still struggling to come up with a contract, the current contract is at the end of the month, so a strike is not impossible. here's what my feed looks like with threads, and there had been any number of twitter khalen jurors but they could not manage

the scale. threads has the instagram computers and the know-how behind it, so it went from zero to more than 10 million users overnight with ease. we get the big jobs report tomorrow and if tradition holds it is going to be a strong report. consistently the numbers show us the economy is doing surprisingly well. americans tend not to think that but the data shows they are being misled. the fed continues to believe the economy is running too hot, and the most recent meeting shows the decision to pause interest hikes was not unanimous.

the number of americans quitting jobs eased. nearly 4 million americans quit or switched jobs, that's a million of a week, but it's cooling. the u.s. is trying to normalize relations with china after years of tension. we are coming up with new restrictions on the technology trade, and we are restricting what chips can be sold to u.s. companies, and china said, fine, we won't sell you the metals you need to make the chips. >> interesting. >> find some common ground. >> some. >> tug-of-war there. >> that, it is. jetblue is ending its partnership with american airlines after losing the court fight over the deal.

on the grounds it would hurt competition, and the american partnership helped jetblue grow in the northeast, and buying spirit would have the market. nearly three quarters of americans say they are not fully financially secure. out of those that do not feel financially secure right now, a quarter expect that they will never be secure. many blame inflation and the current economic climate. a third of those surveyed say rising interest rates are not helping with the cause either. that survey finds before americans could feel secure they need to make $233,000 a year, the magic number to feel reach, $483,000. >> bring those numbers to the

bay area. >> times three. >> no kidding, literally. >> i know. visitors to las vegas are looking at the city's new attraction. >> it's called the sphere. it's being lit up for the first time. it happened the fourth of july. it's the largest sphere structure, and it's 516 feet wide. it contains the world's highest resolution wrap around l.e.d. screen. it's set to open september 29th with a u2 concert, which will be pretty cool. mark it on the calendar. trending this morning, if you loved the golden arches you could have one more wedding catering option. >> wait, wait. that's only if you get married in indonesia.

yeah. mcdonald's announcing a new program in the company, for $230 the fast-food joint will indicator 100 chicken burgers and 100 chicken nuggets. the company is telling the tabloid, the sun, only covers the food and not if you have the wedding at their location. >> the grimace extra. let's get started with feeling cooler temperatures. it's going to be nice heading into the weekend, especially after last weekend's extreme temperatures. outside in dublin here, temperatures in the upper 50s and we are going to stay mostly

cloudy until 8:00, and then it clears up as we usually see and turns into sunshine for the afternoon. here's a look at our high temperatures, 78 in cupertino. 81 in morgan hill. 78 degrees in east san josé. as we move to the east bay, temperatures ranges from 66 in oakland and 79 in antioch. not bad compared to a few spots reaching 100 over the past weekend. we are looking at mostly upper 50s for half moon bay along the coastline, i don't think it's going to clear up much today. redwood city, more sunshine and 70s there. 61 in the engel side district. 64 in mill valley, but still hitting 90 in ukiah.

the weekend will feel milder, and take that in for this weekend because next weekend will be over 100 degrees for ukiah. and then a warming trend with sunshine. for san francisco we are looking at temperatures in the 60s. mike, you were tracking something on vasco. what is happening? >> yeah, it's a concern because vasco at camino diablo has a report, and it sounds like everything is off to the shoulder, a disabled vehicle, and these sensors are starting from green to just little patches around here. a smooth flow but slower again this morning as you head out of the altamont pass. a lot of slowing over the last five minutes and now consolidated itself to one patch on 680. i think they are moving the crews out there.

back to you. >> thank you. a infectious disease expert leads the way during the pandemic, and we had her on often talking about covid. next on "today in the bay," she breaks down her new book about what happens post pandemic. take a look. our own kris sanchez trying out new threads on instagram yesterday, and she put up a picture of herself and her

welcome back. 5:25 for you right now. during the pandemic ucsf disease expert, dr. monica gandhi, is publishing her post pandemic playbook, which is to plan for the next pandemic and offers way for public health to regain trust. she said the book highlights the medical advances made in response to covid, but she says there are lessons to be learned that may have caused harm in the name of public safety. >> in this case i would say the school closures and medical closures, closing off other medical care, and not letting people visit loved ones in the

hospital was harmful intervention. >> the book goes on sale on tuesday and you can preorder it now on amazon. the giants are off today but they are probably still riding high from last night's dominating pitching performance versus seattle. the starter, alex cobb, in complete control striking out seven batters over six innings. the bullpen came in and finished it out, closing out seattle. tomorrow they host the rockies in their last series before the all-star break. what we are following for you today, including help for people dealing with alzheimer's. the first drug approved by the fda and the help it's supposed to provide. a brushfire that came too

close to homes

right now at 5:30, an air drop made in thousands of feet in the air. a flight attendant received a bomb threat on her home. the latest on the search for the suspect. ten years ago today a passenger jet crashed at sfo. this morning we will look back

and focus on three lessons that could make your next flight even safer. while you were sleeping a new fire in the east bay threatening homes. this as another neighborhood seeks answer in a fire that heavily damaged one home. ahead in a live report, looking into possible causes whether fireworks may be to blame. this is "today in the bay." this is also thursday morning. 5:30 right now. thanks for starting your day with us. i am laura garcia. >> good to have you back. >> thank you. >> i am marcus washington. let's head over to meteorologist, kari hall. what is the story? >> a cooler temperature is the story as we head into the weekend. it's still july, but in some spots we will see temperatures in the 60s and 70s. let's get you ready for the day in mountain view with temperatures starting out in the 50s and a mostly cloudy morning, and it turns sunny around 11:00

to noon, and the high temperature there reaches 73 degrees. also 73 in dublin and fremont, and we can leave the air-conditioning off as we head into the weekend. mike, you were talking about a traffic break? >> yeah, we had slowing until the last couple of seconds, and every night we have a crew coming through the area, and less restriction overnight and less slowing, and it could be cleared opposite the morning commute coming down off of 580. the south bay and peninsula moving nicely. highway 37 kicking in. over to you. >> thank you, mike. the fourth of july holiday week hardly a restful one for firefighters. in some cases they are still forced to scramble to set out fires believed to have been caused by fireworks. >> and bob redell is live.

are fires still out there, bob? >> reporter: no, they already put that out. we spoke with one family that briefly moved their cars, and they evacuated their house, and they credit the alameda fire department from keeping the fire from spreading. no determination of the cause as of yet, but an indication on how dry the conditions are out here, especially after the past weekend's heat wave. across the bay in san bruno, two homes on different blocks caught fire when all the fourth of july fireworks were going on late tuesday night, the firefighters showed this video of one of the fires that engulfed the garage,

and the next fire happened about a three-minute drive away, and that was a couple hours later, on 5th street near angus avenue, and that home was tagged meaning it's restricted and no entry, and thankfully they all got out okay as well. >> i said did anybody get hurt or anything? you hate to see anybody -- you know, you can recover from the loss of property and all that, but having somebody, you know, hurt or dead or something would be horrible. >> reporter: which didn't happen, thankfully. neighbors in that area, 5th street near angus avenue said their street didn't light off fireworks, so they are asking what led to the destruction there. reporting live from castro valley, bob redell for "today in the bay." and then a fire overnight

triggered evacuations in wine country. it was near silverado middle school. evacuation orders were lifted last night. and then a 2-year-old child died after being run over by a car backing out from the family driveway. it happened yesterday at an undisclosed residence. the driver was a 25-year-old family friend and not under the influence. oakland police investigator expected to be arraigned today. the detective is charged in connection with the 2011 murder case that sent two men to prison for life. those sentences were later overturned. he's accused of paying a witness thousands of dollars to lie on the stand and lie under oath himself. if convicted, he could spend up to six years in prison.

a southwest plane was diverted to oakland because of a bomb threat sent by air drop. the incident happened on monday when a flight attendant received a photo on her cell phone indicating there was a bomb onboard. after a search the plane was allowed to continue to hawaii six hours later. so far no arrests have been made. ten years ago tragedy at sfo. three people were killed and another 87 passengers were hurt. what can the airline -- what could be taken away from it all? >> what lessons stand out here, chris. >> i think a couple things did not work and a couple things

worked. first, the national transportation safety board said one of the evacuation slides -- two of them opened up inside the airplane and that ended up blocking the exits here and here. what does that mean for us? that's a reminder when the flight attendants are making their safety briefing, put your eyes on the two closest exits and count the number of rows to get there in case it's dark or smoky and you can't see how many rows there are. >> what is something that worked that sticks out to you? >> first, seat belts. think about it. it's astounding that so many people survived this crash. it's believed the only people ejected from the airline back here in row 41, they were not wearing their seat belts. to me that's a big lesson. the second is that the overhead bins -- let me show you a picture from inside the airplane. you can see so much is

skwrausled here. the engineering here worked and likely reduced injuries. this injury takes me to a photo from outside the plane. some of them took their carry on baggage down the slides with them. aviation experts are not okay with that. they say every second you spend getting your bag is a second you should be using to leave the plane as soon as possible. the fire here did not start immediately. if it had the people who were spending that time getting their bags could have costs the people behind them their lives, because smoke kills so often in plane crashes. so the lesson is in a emergency

evacuation, leave your bags behind for you and your fellow passengers. >> yeah, seconds matter. >> yeah, it's just a second to get my backpack. >> yeah, seconds save lives. >> when they say the announcement, and they say put your eyes on the exits, and i will tap her and say, four, meaning we are four rows from the exit. >> yeah, people check out because they are going on vacation. it's so important to listen. 5:38 for you this morning. a critical condition. in january the fda granted accelerated approval for one drug in a clinical trial. this slows the rate of mental decline by 27% to declining

patients. >> clinical trials for this drug, were they promising? >> they were promising and they did two things, it reduces what we think, the plaque that builds up in the rain and slows down the cognitive decline, and it didn't stop it but lessoned what is associated with it. >> if the drug is approved and whether it will be covered by medicare is what we will cover coming up. taking a live look from sausalito this morning. we will experience nice cooling temperatures according to meteorologist, kari hall. looking good for the weekend, too? >> yeah, let's talk about what is going around the bay area. the alameda county fair continues today. tonight leann rimes hits the stage so it will be busy out there. look at the temperatures

reaching into the mid-70s in pleasanton. it will be nice and sunny and the temperatures will drop quickly in time for the fireworks and the concert for tonight. tomorrow night we have the art walk in san josé. it will be about 70 degrees as you are getting dinner and enjoying outside. the art walk, as it continues it will be in the 60s. tomorrow, paso robles, 90s over much of the weekend. mike, you were expecting a lighter commute. how is it? >> still light. this week we expect that because of the holiday on the tuesday. a lot of folks try to stretch that out and looks like it has. the morning commute is here but the metering lights are not on yet. the bay bridge backup lighter than yesterday. highway 37 and now highway 4 showing slowing, and so it's

lighter than your typical tuesday -- thursday, let's get to thursday. there will be construction tonight and overnight on the bay bridge connection. back to you. coming up on "today in the bay," the latest from washington and the latest from china. janet yellen just land in beijing. no winner in eth hi, i'm totodd. i'm a a veteran ofof 23 year. i servrved three o overseas to. i lolove to giveve back toto the commumunity. i i offer whatat i can whwhen i can.. i started d noticing my memorory was slipipping. i saw w a prevagenen commercl and d i did someme research h .

good thursday morning. the time is 5:44 as you get ready to head out the door for work in martinez, it's in the upper 50s. a cool start. we will see it clearing out and a sunny afternoon with mild temperatures. we will talk about the weekend coming up in a few minutes. remember, the reinvaded track maintenance on vta. all orange, green and blue services, so all lines are impacted. the metering lights at the bay bridge have been turned out and it's a light backup but we will track it. >> thanks. the biden administration is trying to improve relations with china. >> or at least, scott mcgrew, improve them to a point. >> yeah, to a point. u.s. and china relations are complicated. we want to trade with them and don't want to sell them chips,

and we would like them to stay out of our state of influences, but we want to be in theirs. janet yellen lands in beijing this morning. the former fed chair and now treasury secretary will negotiate with chinese leaders until sunday. this comes weeks after the secretary of state, antony blinken, made his trip to china. president biden will speak about the economy today in south carolina. what the white house unashamedly calls bidenomics. it was supposed to be an insult created by the president's critics, but the data shows the economy is quite strong. we get the big june jobs numbers, 5:30 our time. last month's shows unemployment is showing it to be in decade

lows. here's kelly o'donnell who prepared a report for the "today" show. >> officials say the investigation will probably take a couple weeks, but they are tamping down expectations about solving them, unless there's evidence found like dna, and without that the bag is so small the incident may not have been picked up on surveillance video. walt nauta, donald trump's personal assistance will be arraigned in florida today. he faces many of the same federal charges trump does after the discovery of all the presidential documents at mar-a-lago. we got a better look at the fbi affidavit search of mar-a-lago after a judge allowed more detail to be released. the u.s. archive asked trump for the documents back and when he

did not return them, they subpoenaed trump and his lawyers said he wanted to ignore that and that led to the search and the discovery the boxes of evidence. this is one of the pages, a new photograph of the documents apparently stored in a room with a gold door. can you see on this page, marcus and laura, many of the redactions are still there. >> interesting. thank you so much, scott. 5:47 right now. happening today and through sunday pebble beach becomes the center of the women's golf universe. it's the first time pebble has hosted the event. this week golfers have been there doing practice rounds, among those taking part six golfers with ties to stanford, including three cardinals. >> for us to be here at pebble

and be together on the practice round, it's something i always dreamt of. >> you can watch the open today and tomorrow on peacock, and then over the weekend it airs here on nbc bay area with the first pairing teeing off at noon. the powerball jackpot closing in on $600 million. >> money, money, money. yeah, it's that high because nobody hit all six of the numbers last night as well as the powerball. last night was $546 million drawing, and you can see the numbers, 17-24-48-62 and 68, and powerball number 23. you can get four dollars for the powerball number. and then the jackpot will be

$590 on friday night, with the cash prize just over 300 million. if you hit one number in the powerball, it's $5, and it goes up -- >> a winner is a winner. >> you can't even buy a cup of coffee anymore with that. we are winning with the weather, though. >> yay. >> it's cooler than what we usually see this time of year. as you head out in richmond temperatures are in the upper 50s. as we go throughout the day the sky will be clearing and we will gradually warm up. we are only headed for 75 in san josé today. it will be cooler in gilroy with a high of 73. los gatos reaching 79. for much of the east bay those temperatures are nice and comfortable enough to leave the air-conditioning off with pleasanton reaching 74 degrees. as the 7-day forecast comes up

at the bottom of the screen, eventually it will get warmer and we will settle in the pattern with the morning clouds and it slowly clears out to keep the temperatures from warming up too quickly. in the marina district, it will be reaching to 58 degrees, and 91 in clearlake. some of our inland areas warming up. if you plan to head out for a hike, mere wood will be in the 60s. a beautiful weekend across the bay area, but it will get hotter for the middle of next week while san francisco will continue to see highs in the mid-60s. the metering lights have been activated and now we see the slowing approaching the toll plaza. you pay your toll, and it costs more than that $5 marcus was talking about if you get one number. one other snag here in the

eastbound, southbound 880, passing the tubes and getting over from alameda. traffic is getting by but activity is the issue. there's slowing in hayward and san josé, typical. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now the search continues for the body of a bay area hiker presumed dead in yosmite. friends say he slipped into the water near a waterfall on sunday and soon disappeared. he grew up here and played baseball in junior college. family members have already been told this is now a recovery effort. watch out for flying objects because it means like more and more things are getting thrown onstage at concerts. up next, a look at what is trending including adele's new response to fans. you don't want to miss that. a fire burning dangerously

world's highest resolution and wrap around l.e.d. screen. it's set to open september 29th with a u2 concert. mike and i were looking online, and we saw some of the displays it has, an eyeball. the eyeball was kind of weird because nobody wants to see an eyeball up that close. but the fireworks and the flag and the things they did for the fourth was really cool. >> beautiful. >> only in vegas, right? >> very cool. >> pancakes? >> you and me both. >> take a look at this ad for ihop's new pancake tacos. they are small pancakes with some sort of filling, and one was filled with strawberries and

cheesecake. they said if they run out of the pancakes, they could probably use something like a tortilla, perhaps. >> ah-ha. >> and also, they may call it a crepe. >> you look at you inventing things. >> i just think about food a lot. >> yeah, it's breakfast time right now. >> there we go. >> have you seen this? one group is using the power of social media for good. the search squad facebook group is dedicated to reuniting families all over the world for the past decade. it's run by volunteers bringing people together who were separated by adoption or other
