welcome back. it's 6:25. good morning. liz in san josé tells us she bought this $100 target gift card on the rack in a store, then mailed it to her daughter.

a few weeks later her daughter tried to use it and target declined it, and liz looked up the history and found somebody else has drained it days after she bought it. she reported the fraud to target but could not get her money back. we reached out to target, and a rep looked into it and we were able to determine it should be replaced. target gave liz a $100 replacement card. liz told us, i don't think people realize how these cards hanging on racks out in the open can be hacked very easily. that matches what we have recently reported. some criminals target gift card racks, not just at target but all over the place. they write down the numbers to drain your balance or tamper with the bar code so any money you add goes to a different card the thieves have. scan the qr code on your screen to watch our story.

i am laura garcia. >> i am kris sanchez. marcus washington is off. this is a big day for students and parents at one high school in the bay. they could still be wearing their summer clothes, kari. it's starting off cool and will be mostly cloudy as we get started. we are seeing that all around the bay area. as we look at oakland right now, 58 degrees to start out. as we go throughout the day, not much of a warm-up. it will be cooler than normal. we will take a look all around the bay area, and we are headed for 79 degrees. there will be a lot of coastal fog, but overall a breezy day across the bay area as we get the cool ocean breeze keeping our highs mostly in the 70s and low 80s. for the north bay as well as the inland east bay.

we will talk about a hot weekend coming up. cinthia, you have been tracking a pothole in the east bay? >> yeah, i told you i would figure out if it's a northbound or southbound, and it's southbound and the it was said it's giving way, and if you want to avoid that take giant highway and go down to rum reul and that will get you in and out of there. there's a car in the center divide on 580 as people are trying to get out of tracie. hazmat teams still working on an incident that kept hundreds out of their homes last

night. the fire department discovered hazardous chemicals in a shed, and you can see on the evacuation map the area. it's still off limits and affected residents are staying at the contra costa community college. long night for them, no doubt. we are told the earliest they could be back home is this afternoon. and then there was a suspected burglary after somebody drove that car into a 7-eleven in oakland early this morning. it was on 23rd avenue, and items were scattered outside in the parking lot. >> lot of people have been concerned about the violent crime in the bay area, and the highway patrol being tapped once

again to get another bay area city to get a hold on the spike in violent crime. >> ginger, how is what is happening in oakland with the extra help similar to what we saw in the city? >> reporter: good morning, kris and laura. the governor sent help to san francisco several months back, and he sent chp officers to help address the fentanyl crisis in the city, and that seemed to have a positive impact and the number of officers doubled by the end of june. now it's oakland asking for help. chp officers will be strategically deployed throughout the city to specifically crackdown on highway violence and organized crime. it's a move so far that has been welcomed by oakland city leaders.

the oakland mayor issued this statement. i am grateful to governor newsom to grant this request. city council members said crime has gotten out of hand and extra enforcement is necessary. >> those are serious crimes that i have not seen -- i have grown up in oakland and i have not seen that for many, many years. it will take law enforcement to enforce the laws we have. if you do the crime you will do the time, and i think we need to get back to that. >> the council member says he welcomes chp help. he said taxpayers are paying for all of these agencies to keep people safe. >> we know the chp -- the governor september the chp to

partnership with san francisco as well earlier this year. what has been the impact we have seen from that? >> reporter: well, that's right, the joint operation included sfpd and the sheriff's office and chp. if you look at some of the numbers here on the screen, first in may 7 to chp officers were september to san francisco, and that was a successful operation because in the first six weeks officers seized enough fentanyl to kill the city three times over, and more than 115 people were arrested in those beginning weeks. by that time in june the governor doubled down on his promise of bringing chp officers, and then he brought in 14 to 20 chp officers in the city. now eyes moved over to across the bridge to see if it could have a similar positive impact in addressing the violent

violence concerns. >> it's a continuing problem out there. thank you. city leaders are hosting a town hall to address crimes in one of the city's most troubling neighborhoods. the meeting will address safety in the tenderloin. that meeti com amid the ongoing drug cri there. last month a man was shot and killed blocks from city hall. the meeting tonight starts at 6:00. new this morning, we are getting a new look at the man who police say vandalized a black lives matter mural in santa cruz. this happened over the weekend. you can see a man walk in wearing a helmet wearing a paint can in his hand. he then throws paint on two of the letters. the suspect was seen leaving in a red vespa or similar type of scooter. the mural was originally painted on the street in front of city

hall in 2020 after the death of george lloyd. 6:37 right now. former president trump will be arraigned on criminal charges for the third time this year later today. scott mcgrew, this time it's happening in washington, d.c. itself. >> that's right. the other cases, a state case in new york and a federal case in florida. this is the first time trump has been charged with felonies based on actions he took as actual president. the new york case involves falsifying business records as a candidate. the florida case is about documents kept after he left the white house. today's case involves trump's actions after he lost the 2020 presidential election, specifically conspiracy to defraud the united states and conspiracy to obstruct a

proceeding, and violating civil rights. prosecutors tend to charge crimes they feel they can prove in court and are not open to interpretation by a jury. many people feel trump motivated his supporters in the attac on col. you will sti his supporters say trump is protected by the first amendment, and he had the right to question the results of the election. that's not what the prosecution is saying. in fact, the prosecution says he had a right to speak publicly, falsely that there was fraud during the election, and that's straight out of the indictment. he's not free to do whatever he wanted. you have every right in the world to claim your bank shortchanged you, you can tell your neighbor or friends or anybody, that's your right, but

it doesn't give you the right to rob the bank to get your money back. trump will make his appearance at 1:00 our time, california time, 1:00 in the afternoon. past arraignments have gone very smoothly with no major incidents. this is going to be the third time former president trump has been arraigned. there could be one more to come in the state of georgia. we are still waiting on the fulton county prosecutor to announce her grand jury's decision. trump is on tape asking state officials to find him votes to change georgia to a trump win from a biden win. an nbc news special report as it happens expected to begin at 1:00 this afternoon. >> it will be a busy afternoon. thank you, scott. happening today, napa is

celebrating one foundation as it parks the 25th year of the wine celebration weekend. >> really the real mon here is funding medical breakthroughs to beat cancer. it started with beth nichol's late husband, gill. after he died beth partnered with the group for cancer research, and the group developed a drug known as keytruda. >> it's very gratifying to have been a tiny part of developing such a successful cancer drug. it warms my heart. i know that gill is also happy in heaven, and he would say to go, sugar. >> since 1999 the wine celebration raised over $137 million for cancer research. on saturday the symposium on

work being done will be streamed online. >> all they need is nice weather, but people will show up either way, right? it will be warm in the middle of the day, but we start out cool and see warm weather for the afternoon. starting on friday we will see those temperatures going up a little bit and into the low 80s for the afternoon, and then the hottest day will be sunday reaching 95 degrees. once again, it does heat up and cool down fairly quickly there. you may be able to start out your weekend today at the santa clara county fair. this will be the coolest day we will see in the south bay, starting out with the upper 70s at 4:00. as we go into the evening, it cools down quickly into the upper 60s as clouds come in and winds pick up. as we look at the fremont festival of the arts, that's happening saturday and sunday. saturday it will start out at about 10:00, 70 degrees, and low

70s at noon. we do see the temperatures trending more towards 80 degrees during the middle of the day. with the valleys heating up inland i think a lot of people will head to the coastline. take a look at santa cruz's forecast, low 70s for the weekend for highs and much more sunshine. it will be a great weekend in the sierra with highs in the 70s at palisades tahoe. we will get a look at our valley heat coming up in a few minutes. cinthia, you are tracking the issues on the road in the east bay and looking ahead. >> yeah, we are looking ahead to what could be backup for the middle of the day in san francisco. we have the giants taking on arizona at 12:45, so right around that lunchtime hour we can see the buildup on the local streets as people get on and off of the bay bridge, coming up on 101 or 280. just a heads up if you want to avoid that area in the middle part of our thursday.

let's tell you what is going on east bay. east bay highway 80 will close down around hercules. you can take highway 4 to get you through the carquinez bridge but you can t the long way arout should get you into the north bay. two more weekends of this. and then talking about mental health and leading the way in helping men in the east bay get help. and then mark zuckerberg and then mark zuckerberg seriously training

rock avenue off-ramp. we will check on the details and give you the latest. >> thank you. oakland rapper and entrepreneur opened up publicly about his struggle with debilitating anxiety more than two weeks ago here. he held his first mental health wellness check event last night. more than 50 black men showed up, and in this space the men talked about mental health and they were able to find resources like psychologists, counsellors and a safe space in the community. >> it was, like, yo, i know i can't be the only person going through it, and now let me be the voice for the voiceless, for the village. >> a psychologist said it's false black men don't use therapy or seek it. the doctor said the need is so high he has to turn men away because he doesn't have enough

space to serve them. happening tonight, it's the return of the 2023 nfl season. hard to believe we are into football already, but the cleveland browns will be taking on the jets in the hall of fame game. the initial season opener will be played -- look at that. that's all inshrined this weekend. the new york jets and cleveland browns take the field at 5:00. we have coverage throughout the day, including a special 3:00 p.m. newscast followed by "nightly news" with lester colt. the game is followed by a special newscast and nbc bay area special investigation. >> you can wash your socks. they will not win because you

didn't wash them. mark zuckerberg is a fan of the mma, but he recently announced he built an octagon in his backyard. >> he's psyched about it, but one person that is not is his wife. this is a conversation between he and his wife. he says the ring is blocking the grass she has been trying to grow more than two years. zuckerberg asked opinion on what is more important. this is him training not too long ago. zuckerberg even considered fighting elon musk in the octagon after musk challenged him to a fight in june, though nothing official has come of that just yet. >> i heard a report he's eating 4,000 calories a day to offset how much he is working out. you can see he has really gotten in shape.

>> but they don't say happy wife happy life for nothing. >> yeah, the kids need to run around in the backyard and play and not in the octagon. >> used to climb on one when i was a kid, but they are very different today. it's going to be a nice day, and we are going to enjoy nice and mild temperatures. in the afternoon into the evening, the winds pick up and the temperatures drop and you say, where is my jacket? it will be another one of those days. walnut creek and san francisco with clouds, and we have breezes off the ocean and it's cooler than normal. in san josé, the east side union high school district with jacket weather at drop-off time at 7:00 to 8:00 this morning, and at pickup time a comfortable 77

degrees and light wind and sunny. the high temperature this afternoon reaching 83 in los gatos, and 82 in morgan hill. you probably have seen the 7-day forecast at the bottom of the screen, and it's going to be hot this weekend for many of the microclimates. antioch reaching 83 degrees. a high of 69 in hayward. along the coastline, up to about 60 in half moon bay, while in palo alto you are reaching 77. for the north bay, sonoma and santa rosa reaching 79 degrees. more records are being broken across the west and the southwest. it's going to be another hot day, but we are going to see some of the heat starting to affect our inland areas as the high pressure nudges our way a little more. in spots like brentwood, we are going to see the temperatures ramping up quickly over the next few days.

once again, the last mild day we will have before we hit triple digits here this weekend from saturday, sunday into monday. overall, take a look at our 7-day temperature trend for the inland areas, going from low 80s to 101 degrees, and then back to the 80s for the middle of next week. the spike in temperatures doesn't last long and will not affect everybody, because san francisco will only see highs in the low 70s for the weekend. cinthia, you were tracking trouble in the south bay now? >> yes, 101 in san josé, traffic has been picking up on both sides of the freeway there. we have a couple things going on. we will start with southbound 101 as you approach east san josé at alum rock avenue. a car has been reported it went on its side and we have the sensors backing up into 880. the next one, if you want to avoid going 101 you could be met with a slowdown if you are taking 280 because there's a

crash reported there at the 10th street on-ramp. either way getting out of south san josé, it will be a little wait. at the bay bridge toll plaza there's a trouble spot at the toll plaza and mid span. >> thank you. it's 6:53. happening now, lawmakers want a closer eye on state and local governments. government agencies would not be permitted to destroy records within five years of their creation. critics say a maximum 30-day response time could put a stress on agencies that are already understaffed. coming up next, a quick look at our top stories including the breaking news in the east bay where emergency evacuations are still in effect for dozens of homes. hundreds of boxes of hazardous materials found inside a
