suffered posttraumatic stress. >> for the first few months, you know, it was hard to get her to come out of her room, to associate with people again. >> in a stam, the gilroy school district says they take allegations of harass many, bullying or abuse very seriously and is commit to do the safety of its students and staff as its first priority. the district does not comment on pending litigation and will refrain from doing so on the referenced incident. disgraced former crypto king sam bankman-fried new facing legal action from attorneys at the exchange that he once led. fried pleaded not guilty to milking billions of dollars from investors, in that exchange, to help cover losses in a separately-owned hedge fund. attorneys are now seeking to recover money they say was misappropriated before bankruptcy. the suit also claims fried is

now financing his criminal defense with some of that money. a representative for fried refused to comment. let's talk about decision 2024. it's a busy friday for gop contenders making an early push for the nomination. at this point, former president trump maintains a significant lead in republican polling, despite his growing legal challenges. president biden, meantime, touting his bidenomics plan to reshape the economy. "today in the bay"'s chris pallone is live in washington. there's still a lot of uncertainty for the other republican candidates. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. and a lot of time. anything can happen. but as we await a federal grand jury's decision on whether to indict former president donald trump for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election, his chief opponents are out in full force, especially today. they're in states like new hampshire, iowa, and south carolina. they're trying to chip into that large lead he has in the polls.

former vice president mike pence among those who still haven't qualified for next month's debate in wisconsin. >> we've been setting record contributions online for the last several days. >> i think i'm more likely to beat biden, my record in florida shows that. >> reporter: nbc news has learned florida governor ron desantis is planning a reboot days after firing about a dozen staffers to cut costs. aides say he'll hold smaller events and focus less on his record in florida. hoping to break through on the economy with voters, president biden argued in philadelphia his policies dubbed bidenomics are working. >> unemployment is down, but to the surprise of a lot of economists, so is inflation. >> reporter: but the prospect of a biden/trump rematch has some considering the idea of a third-party candidate. west virginia senator joe manchin attended an event with a group called no labels this

week. >> if it's a matchup between biden and trump, i know exactly where i would go. i would go with joe manchin. >> reporter: with legal troubles mounting for former president trump, opponents see opportunity on the horizon. and the latest quinnipiac poll also shows in a theoretical head-to-head matchup, a rematch of 2020, right now president biden leads former president trump by five points. >> chris, thanks. we're going to turn back here locally, taking a live look at oakland this friday morning. by the way, a spare the air alert has been issued for today and it's because of that smoke in the air. check out this smoky sunset from yesterday caused by wildfire smoke drifting down from oregon. it does create a beautiful sight, but it's because of the pollution, right? >> uh-huh, yeah, it's the smoke and particulate matter being scattered by the sunlight.

it gives us orange hues. it looks nice but thaen it's not nice to breathe in. it's definitely dangerous for people who have asthma and it will add to the ozone as well. when we talk about our air quality today, the most unhealthy of the air quality will be in the inland east bay and santa clara valley. we're seeing a measure of particulate matter over 100, which is not good for long periods of time. then we also have been talking a lot about this flat fire in southwestern oregon. you can see the concentration of all of that unhealthy smoke and it is being pushed down to the surface, and right into the bay area. so we're going to see another round of a hazy sky and moderately unhealthy air quality as temperatures warm up. and it really will depend on where you are. so brentwood hitting 105 degrees for a high today, while san jose will be in the upper 80s. pacifica will be at a comfortable 65 degrees. we'll see more of that tomorrow

before we cool down all across the bay area, so i'll have more on that in a few minutes. mike has a look at where we can find lower gas prices. >> alameda county calling out the second best price, $4.17, the valero in hayward, the best is still the $4.09 in livermore. santa clara county, similar range for lows, $4.19 at great gas on matilda avenue. in the north bay we'll call out the safeway on american canyon road at $4.33, the best in the county by a dime. let's get out to the roadways where we're talking about the bay bridge backup which started to build once again. reports of a minor crash just past the toll plaza, getting close to the metering lights. watching the flow on the span, i'm circumstance cling where the bay bridge toll plaza is. there is something going on just about where things start to

narrow. typical slowing for west 37 and eastbound highway 4 in the construction zone, next to where it says concord, to the right there. we're looking at the drive out of vasco road, no problem, no delays. 580 just now starting to show a little more slowing out of the altamont. back to you. >> thank you so much. how about pay by palm? amazon rolling out new technology at some whole foods stores. coming up, where you can expect to see it by the end of the year and the added layer o of securu amazazon says it offffers shopp. plulus -- >> i'm coming g with you.u. >> comome on,, barbie, l let's party.y. the lonong anticipatated movovi finally i in ththeatres, but no without s some frienendly competitition. we'r're talkingng allll things

happy friday to you. it is 6:14, and let's get a look at your forecast for brentwood. whatever you have to do outside, try to get it in early. that outdoor workout should be done before 8:00, because after that it's going to be hot. take a look at this trend. we're in the upper 90s by 1:00 today, and it will be a hot weekend. we'll get a look at all of our microclimates in the forecast coming up. over here in fremont we're looking at 880 moving smoothly. headlights heading south into

the south bay where there is some slowing. it's friday. there's still a commute in spots. we'll show you how things are shaping up. there was a crash near the bri bridge. wall street is set to open higher after a mixed session yesterday. the dow rose for the ninth straight session. here you see the futures this morning. s&p 500 and nasdaq yesterday lower, with the nasdaq really falling, dragged by netflix and tesla and dow and s&p 500 on their track for their second positive read. amazon says it's going to bring its pay by palm technology to all whole foods stores by the end of this year. the system already works in more than 200 locations. customers place their palms over a reader to pay for items, prime members who link their profile with their amazon accounts get automatic savings. amazon says it chose palm identification because palms are more private, allowing people to

pay with a contactless gesture. amc is dropping plans to charge more for the best seats in the theatre. the company rolled out a pilot program in three theatres with plans to make it nationwide but none of its competitors were willing to play along and the chain plans to drop it altogether. amc does say most people were willing to pay for preferred seating, about 10% chose to sit outside the preferred areas because that had no additional charge. trending this morning, as for the box office this weekend, expect it to focus mostly on atomic bombs and blond bombshells. >> i don't have anything big planned, just a giant blowout party with all the barbies and choreography and you should stop by. >> so cool. >> zero would be nice. >> two of the most anticipated movies of the year are finally out. "barbie" and "oppenheimer," obviously two very different

movies. however, many fans aren't choosing, they're rather opting for a double feature dubbed barbenheimer. "barbie" is expected to bring in $140 million in ticket sales, while "oppenheimer" is set to grab as much as $60 million. for fans heading to watch "barbie" at amc theatres, you can scores collectable popcornbucket, but it will cost you $35. >> my goodness. >> does that include the popcorn? if you head to the pruneyard cinemas you can enjoy one of these. bartenders created a list of pink-themed cocktails. >> looks like fun. i do want to see both of those movies. i don't know that i would see them back to back. >> i don't know if it's because i watch movies at home and you can take breaks, i don't know if i could sit through -- >> "oppenheimer" is three hours, but apparently you should see it on an imax mega screen. there's a long story to tell.

>> absolutely. movies might be a good place to get out of the heat. >> that's definitely a good idea, because with temperatures really hot, you don't want to stay at home if you don't have air-conditioning. and so we're heading to the mall, the theatres, anywhere where we can find some cooler temperatures. and this is one of the spots that's going to be heating up. we take a live look outside in the tri-valley, with a hazy start this morning. we're also saying limit your time outside because of the air quality. we've had drifts of smoke coming in. we can see it as we look at those live views around the bay area. as you head out in mountain view, our temperatures start out in the upper 50s. it will be clear, sunny throughout the day, and still staying mild here throughout late morning into the afternoon. as the seven-day forecast comes up at the bottom of the screen, check out your microclimate. because it will be very different based on where you are. so the inland valleys will be included in the heat advisory, all of these areashaded ange. that's not the entire bay area. spots like oak andremont

will not be included andhen we're also not seeing a heat advisory for the peninsula, san francisco, and for much of the north bay up until you get over to the east of santa rosa and in the hills. so we are going to be watching out for an increased fire danger as all the vegetation continues to dry out and our temperatures heat up. for the south bay, we'll reach 94 in east san jose and 92 in los gatos. we'll also see upper 90s and highs over 100 degrees for the interior east bay, while oakland will see a high of 79 degrees. so still staying mild there. and cool near the coast with daly city, half moon bay in the low 60s, redwood city reaching 85 degrees, and some upper 60s for the outer sunset today, mission district reaching 74 degrees, and north bay temperatures mostly in the mid-90s, from santa rosa to sonoma, over toward napa. we'll be as hot as 104 degrees today in clear lake. then we compare that to what we're seeing across the south

and southwest, it's been really extreme for a long period of time, and phoenix today hitting 119 degrees. they've had record-breaking stretches of intensely hot temperatures and it looks like it continues for the foreseeable future. and then we do have cool areas where we can go and cool off, where we're going to see temperatures along the coastline only in the 70s. santa cruz today, the warmest day today at 77 degrees. and then we compare that to the 100 degrees we'll see for the inland valleys. it will be nice to have some milder weather. we'll go back to more seasonable temperatures for the middle of next week. san francisco will be in the low 70s throughout the weekend. mike, how is it looking at the san mateo bridge? >> it's looking pretty nice right now, a smooth flow of traffic. we had one issue on the right shoulder, the right service area, very narrow lane. that was early in the commute. never surfaced to be a problem and never got a report.

you see it moving smoothly on the san mateo bridge. there is a disabled vehicle right around the 880/92 interchange. the interchange is open, and may be getting to the shoulder quickly. it's a light volume of traffic. it's a friday, obvious, and still in the summertime. we're going to start transitioning over the next month or so. we're looking at a build, richmond getting toward san rafael. bay bridge toll plaza we had an issue, a disabled vehicle just around the toll plaza itself. i never saw a problem, but the chp says it was cleared and obviously something cleared up because the bay bridge toll plaza approach is also clear. no issues as far as this. but the metering lights are on and active for the span. getting toward vasco, we do see some slowing out of the altamont pass and little bits of brake tapping going on, it looks like north has more traffic heading toward brentwood off of 580. it is 6:22. up next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> there's a red flag on her

good friday morning. it is 6:46. let's head to gilroy with a look at how the morning shapes up. that commute looking good as you stut the door. itn the upper 50s. we'll see it quickly heating up, by late morning into the afternoon, too hot to spend a long period of time outside. try to find some air-conditioning this afternoon. we'll get a look at the weekend forecast in a few minutes. a live look at the eastshore freeway. the operations center, got a great look at the crash. it's eastbound from the bay bridge. two right lanes blocked, but a

lot less activity. the cones are out, so i think it's going to be there for a bit. it will cause you slowing from the berkeley curve up to university avenue. we'll talk about the impact coming up. 6:47. the women's world cup is now in full swing. earlier this morning spain dismantled costa rica, 3-0. later today team usa takes the field taking on vietnam. the u.s. squad looking to make history. they could be the first team ever to win three straight world cup titles. 14 team members are playing in their first world cup. ten have ties to the bay area, northern california. the team is led by former cal bear alex morgan. >> looking to make history, that would be great, with what you said, a three-peat. but this team, it's really just winning each game as it comes. >> it's obviously incredible what this team has done, and all we hope to do is kind of continue on that legacy and push the boundaries and be even

better. >> the best way to cheer on team usa is with a lot of other fans. san jose's paypal park tonight is hosting a big watch party and then there will be smaller events, in san francisco the crossing at east cut will have a watch party and in san jose jack's bar & lounge. the game is at 6:00 p.m., which is a lot better than the overnight, kind of midnight. we're one week away from santa clara officially turning into swifty clara. >> next friday taylor swift brings her highly anticipated eras tour to levi's stadium. fans may be finding a blank space on their wrists. the venue is banning those friendship bracelets many swifties trade with each other at the shows. the tradition is inspired by her recent midnights album but there's no word on why the venue

is banning the bracelets. there's growing backlash from fans planning to attend the show. one of those swifties who knows the power of those bracelets is our own mike inouye's daughter. she attended a recent tour stop, traded them with other fans, which mike says is an integral part of the community experience. >> i had no idea, but my wife took pictures and showed the interaction between the fans. really nice community that they've built there. i did see an article, though, for a concert in the same timeframe as my daughter's, but some have been throwing the bracelets as she leaves and goes down the tunnel. >> at times 1,000. >> absolutely. >> that makes sense. >> it's such a lovely way for these strangers to bond. they're like kids. >> especially since she's the mayor -- >> she'll be making her own rules.

so we are going to have temperatures ranging from upper 50s to over 100 degrees, it just depends on where you are as we head into the weekend. we're also talking about the air quality today. we've seen the hazy skies overhead around the bay area giving us those beautiful sunrises and sunsets, but you do also want to limit your time out there, especially in the inland east bay, as well as santa clara valley, where we will see unhealthy air quality for sensitive groups. that means people with asthma, any type of breathing problems. if you're sensitive to high amounts of pollution, do not stay outside for long periods of time. and now as the seven-day forecast comes up at the bottom of the screen, you'll see tomorrow is the peak of the heat and then lower temperatures are coming our way after that. so today we're headed for 92 in milpitas and morgan hill reaching 99 degrees. upper 90s and 100 degrees for concord and livermore, 99 in

danville, while oakland will be in the upper 70s today. we're still looking at temperatures in the 60s in half moon bay while san mateo will warm up to 80 degrees today. mostly upper 60s, low 70s for san francisco, still pretty mild there. but it will be turning very hot in much of the north bay, with santa rosa headed for a high of 94 and 10 degrees hotter in clear lake. then we compare that to the extreme heat we've seen for a very long period of time across the southwest, and phoenix today headed for an unbelievable 119 degrees. and this is the 22nd, 23rd day they've had temperatures above 110, and the overnight lows are about 100 degrees. it's just really unbearable there. then we take a look at brentwood where we are going to see some of our hottest temperatures headed for 105 degrees today, 103 tomorrow. those areas you do need to really take it easy, drink lots of water. and then, also, taking care of people around you as well as the

pets. it's going to get a little better early next week. as we take a look at our seven-day forecast, triple digits today and tomorrow for the hottest inland valleys, low 90s on sunday and we'll bring it back to more seasonable weather next week. we're not going to see the extreme heat in san francisco. it will be in the 70s here and mid-60s next wednesday. mike, you're wearing about a crash and you're keeping us updated on the eastshore freeway. >> the eastshore freeway is actually moving a little better. watch out, that car really took off after they passed the two lanes that are still blocked. this vehicle right there is the one that's damaged. another flatbed tow truck was arrived. there's a hit-and-run crash reported just as you're heading toward university, so this is one section right here getting away from the berkeley curve and heading up to ashby avenue. once you pass, everything is fine. coming to the bay bridge, distraction for the activity there as well and that is causing a snag on the eastshore

freeway. there's slowing and recovery after an earlier disabled vehicle clearing 880 around 92. back to you. it is 6:53. happening now, if you live in yountville or you're visiting, a warning. napa county health leaders are advising people only to use boiled or bottled water. this comes after recent samples from the reservoir tested positive for e. coli. there's no word on how long the advisory is expected to last. if you're concerned, the county says to contact your health care provider or the napa county health department for more information. next, a quick look at top stories, including a voice that gave life to san francisco silenced. legendary singer tony bennett has di

>> gosh, it breaks your heart a little hearing that. 20-time grammy winner tony bennett has died at the age of 96. the legendary crooner known for his iconic hit "i left my heart in san francisco" but his seven decade-long career included collaborations with everyone, including lady gaga. he died in new york city after seven years of being diagnosed with alzheimer's. other top stories breaking, a federal judge has set a trial date for former president trump in these charges of mishandling classified documents. the felony trial will begin may 20th of next year. that's a little less than six months before the presidential election. defense lawyers had argued the case should not head to trial until after the election due to trump's current status as a presidential candidate, but that

isn't a legal argument. and another hot weekend on its way. experts are reminding everyone to take precautions. if you want to spend time outside, do it earlier in the day. drink water from the time you wake up. don't wait until you're hot, thirsty or sweaty. watch for signs of heat exhaustion. you may feel faint or dizzy, you may be pale, have clammy skin or a weak pulse. the signs of heat stroke, throbbing headache, no sweating, hot and dry skin, strong pulse and possibly a loss of consciousness. if you have those symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. meteorologist kari hall is tracking how hot it will be. there's somewhere to escape, right? >> that's the good thing. it will be hot. it does take a short drive to get to shorter temperatures but we will see the inland valleys reach triple digits today and tomorrow. we're looking at a crash
