"today in the bay"'s drew petrimoulx takes a closer look at the short but historic proceedings, and this morning's fallout. >> reporter: with a wave and a thumbs up, former president trump boarding his private plane, after a historic day in atlanta that produced the first-ever presidential mugshot. >> what has taken place here is a travesty of justice, we did nothing wrong, i did nothing wrong, and everybody knows it. >> reporter: the former president surrendering himself

to state police at the notorious fulton county jail, being processed on 13 felony charges surrounding his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in georgia. inside the jail, in addition to the mugshot, trump was read his rights. >> the process was largely over and donald trump returned to his car and his motorcade left. it was a short proceeding and a fairly undramatic one, but for the fact that it even happened at all. >> reporter: outside the jail, supporters and detractors adding to the circus-like atmosphere. >> donald trump is a rat. calling him a rat. >> reporter: chanting and parading signs in front of the media. >> what is happening here in fulton county is totally illegal, it's a travesty. >> will you vote for him? >> absolutely, 100%. >> even with the legal challenges? >> absolutely, yeah, because they're phony. >> reporter: trump's grip on the republican party remains strong, while polls show a majority of americans believe criminal charges against trump are warranted, they also show his

lead in the republican primary is sizable and a hypothetical rematch about president biden is neck in neck. drew petrimoulx, nbc news, washington. >> stay with us for the latest developments on air and online. right now it's the top story on our website. head to nbcbayarea.com to read more about the case and updates on the co-defendants. a small sliver of encouraging news from the island of maui, that's where the number of people still unaccounted for after that firestorm is far lower this morning than it was this time yesterday. maui county has released an updated list of people missing, that number now less than 400. now, at one point this week the number exceeded 1,000. so far, 115 deaths are confirmed. the latest list also including the names of missing, with the hope people can help identify those who are still alive. the county is now also taking legal action against the island's power company, citing

that the failure to shut off power, despite repeated warnings of fire risks. they're named in about a dozen legal claims tied to the fires. it says in a statement, in part, quote, very disappointed that maui county chose this litigious path while the investigation is still unfolding. one east bay neighborhood is on edge after a mail carrier was held at gunpoint amidst concerns, it's not an isolated incident. this is the fourth time this month robbers have targeted mail carriers in contra costa county. the latest happening yesterday on salem drive. u.s. postal inspectors say what makes this robbery different from the others is the suspects only stole the carrier's mail and not their mail keys. surveillance video in the area shows a white truck leaving the scene shortly after the theft. the mail carrier was not hurt. >> the investigation is preliminary. we have a description that we're looking for multiple subjects

and the postal inspectors are investigating, the police department is investigating. >> authorities are offering a $50,000 award for anyone providing information that leads to an arrest. a crash involving a cruise driverless car in san francisco happened around 9:20 last night. witnesses say that a cruise car and the construction backhoe were driving on gough street near geary. the cruise car was in the middle lane when it crashed into a backhoe. no one was in the cruise car at the time and the driver of the backhoe was not hurt. we reached out to cruise and sfpd and have not heard back. last week state regulators ordered cruise to cut its fleet in half in the wake of recent crashes and traffic backups. under the new guidelines, only 50 cruise cars can operate during daytime hours. and later today, women will take over the xfinity u.s. gymnastics championship in san jose.

like, see if i can be the best. >> reporter: ally will compete with the junior women starting at noon today. now, while there are 11 olympians competing today, there are others that are working behind-the-scenes. we met rog yesterday, who is in charge of the junior men's team. coming up at 6:30, i'm going to introduce you to another 2008 bronze medal winning olympian who is going to talk to us about the pressure the athletes are under and how the team is starting to come forward and we're starting to see who might be going to paris. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> that's really fun to see. >> those gymnasts are so strong physically, but mentally as well to be able to land on those small apparatuses, i'm amazed. >> reporter: tune it all out. >> good to see. we'll keep checking back with you throughout the morning. thank you.

look at how the morning will shape up for you. it is a cloudy start and pretty mild with temperatures in the low to mid-60s. we're going to stay cool throughout the day. once it clears out, we're going to start to warm up, but not nearly as warm as we've had for much of the week. we'll talk about a cooldown and what's ahead in the rest of the microclimate forecast coming up. and we're looking at the toll plaza heading toward san rafael. it sounds like someone is out of their car standing on the bike path. we're going to track this, westbound 580. no slowing shows up. we'll let you know what the bigger commute is coming up. good morning. happy friday to you. markets were lower on thursday. the dow industrials pulled down in part by disney. that's the problem with using the dow as an index. there are only 30 stocks on it. shares in nvidia hit an all-time high during the trading day on thursday. we've been talking about nvidia

all week, since monday. i promise i will not talk about this stock tomorrow. donald trump did a lot of things yesterday, one of them, he posted to the social network now known as x for the first time since he was kicked off following the attack on the capitol. when elon musk took over twitter, musk decided to let trump back on, but trump never posted, choosing, instead, to post on truth social. his reach is much bigger on x than it is on truth social. 86 million followers on the former twitter, compared to around 6 million on truth social. the blog the information is reporting amazon is in talks with espn to create a streaming version of the sports network. it would cost between $25 and $35 a month, making it the most expensive streaming service in the u.s. fed chair jay powell will speak at 7:00 a.m. our time at the fed symposium at jackson

hole. they call this the super bowl of bankers. powell often speaks, but it's this event where he tends to make the most news with big announcements. all the fed's actions to fight inflation have led to mortgage rates just enormously higher. their highest point now in decades, 7.23%. that, in turn, is pushing home sales down. they're down 17% year-over-year, according to the national association of realtors. we have had this discussion before, but people often ask me, when will mortgage rates return to normal? they think of normal as being 3%. we had 3% mortgage rates because we had a decade of slow growth followed by a pandemic. so normal is not that. >> and think of what our parents had. >> oh, yeah, 17%. >> 15%, 17%. >> i remember when we were in the midst of the 2% and 3%

interest rates. >> if that's where you came up, you might think of that as normal. >> a lot of people that saw it coming refinanced. >> that's why no homes are for sale. >> thank you very much. new this morning, warner bros. pushing the release of "dune part 2" from november to march. the studio says the delay is mostly due to the stars of the film being unable to promote it as long as hollywood actors remain on strike. the new opening date is insteaded for march 15th. the first in stallment came out during the pandemic. all month long we are working to clear the shelters. if you're looking to find a cuddly creature, inviting them into your home, we have a few you might be interested in. >> check this out. this happy little puppy here, i didn't see who it was. >> let's move on to marcus washington. >> that's laura and that's me. >> look at your little ears. >> kind of looks like me.

morning, great start to our day as we are looking forward to cooler temperatures. let's get you a live look outside in oakland. it's already a busy start to our friday and we are going to see temperatures coming down. take a look at our highs for today, with milpitas and san jose reaching 80 degrees, 85 in los gatos. as you move down to morgan hill, a little warmer with upper 80s there. for the inland east bay we'll see upper 80s, with antioch reaching 89 degrees, 87 in danville. hayward coming down out of those mid-80s into the upper 70s today. along the coastline it's going to be only in the 60s. you head over to san mateo, where we'll get a lot more sunshine. it will be in the upper 70s for a high, and san francisco coming back to our usual temperatures as we see the return of fogust, a lot of fog over the city and mist and drizzle. for the north bay, the warmest temperature will be in ukiah, reaching 89. mostly upper 70s and low 80s for

the interior parts of the north bay. let's get an update on the drought monitor. we know that most of california was taken out of a drought, but there was a small area under a moderate drought across southern california. now that we've had tropical storm hilary, they've even taken more of southern california out of a drought. so there's this little sliver of the state that's in a drought right now, but overall things have improved significantly. and so now as we take a look at what's happening with our ten-day forecast, it's going to be nice and mild, lots of events going on this weekend, including the gymnastics, as well as the pride festival and the parade this weekend. it's going to be in the mid-80s, but it will be heating up for the middle of next week, so we are going to see temperatures heading upward for wednesday and then coming back down. overall, nice, quiet forecast. normal temperatures and cool in san francisco, with 60s and 70s over the next few days. mike says right now it is friday light. >> it is. it's calm right now, good stuff.

green sensors everywhere except for out of the altamont pass and 84 as you come toward 680. vasco road, no slowing from byron, brentwood, down to 580, still well under 20 minutes. there's a little build out of the altamont, as we talked about, and that's really about it. no major issues for contra costa county. we're looking at walnut creek, coming down toward 24, you drive through pleasant hill, concord, and down toward the walnut creek interchange, a smooth flow of traffic. we'll look at travel times approaching the bay bridge. 13 minutes from highway 4 to the bay bridge toll plaza, including the berkeley curve. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 5:21 right now. coming up next, nbc bay area responds. >> some criminals' sole scam is draining gift cards, so you've got to protect that plastic. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we'll show you how next. ♪♪

protecting a gift card starts at the rack in the store, because that's where many criminals start. before you buy a card, look for tampering. some scammers mess with the bar code. >> you can feel the sticker has a little bit of a ridge on it. >> former police officer spotted a tampered card and made a viral video on tiktok. the bar code sticker is for a different gift card that the thief has. so any money you load onto that card would actually land on the thief's card. so look for a sticker. >> take that extra 20 seconds and visually inspect it. >> you can choose a gift card with extra security. some of them let you set up a pin, especially those use anywhere kind. that might make it tougher for the bad guys to drain your balance. after you get a gift card, use it asap, because other criminals are simply hacking to try to drain your balance. >> there are groups out there that this is all they do. >> so use your gift card as soon

as possible. here is another idea. try to cash out your gift card. in california, if your gift card has less than $10 on it, state law says the store has to give you cash or a check for the balance. if you have more than $10 on a card you know you're not going to use, consider selling it on a third-party exchange. they might not give you face value for it, but it's more than zero, which is exactly what the thieves will leave you. 5:26 right now. next, top stories we're following, including an historic booking photo out of georgia. former president donald trump surrendered to authorities with his mug shot going viral. coming up next, scott mcgrew is breaking down what's next to likely happen in his legal trouble surrounding election fraud. no cops allowed, that is the alleged policy at a restaurant in san francisco's mission district. ahead, we'll tell you how an officer says he was refused service, and what people are

sayingbout it a

right now at 5:30, turning up the heat on a san francisco bakery. the police officers union believes its refusing to serve officers in uniform. ahead, why this would not be the first time san francisco police have faced this kind of backlash, and the many unanswered questions surrounding

this controversy. donald trump is out on bond after posting bail. we'll have the very latest, including the mug shot seen around the world. also, new data raising alarms in oakland over the recent number of student suspensions. the new findings from consultants hired by the district and recommendations about possible changes. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you, and thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. let's get a look at that forecast this morning. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we can expect as we head into the weekend and the first day of school for some folks. >> first day of school on a friday. i love it. >> ease into it. >> i want to start work that way, too. we're going to start out with our temperatures in portola valley at 60 degrees, a cloudy start but a really comfortable day. at pick-up time, sunshine and 74 degrees. our temperatures around the bay area are coming down from the high heat we had midweek, and

this will be the coolest day we'll see in quite a while, only reaching 80 in fremont and san jose, 88 in san martin, about the same in concord and napa reaching 80 degrees. we'll talk about who changes ahead. mike, you're tracking a big slow down. >> most of it is typical traffic, this disabled vehicle is in the roadway, and you know how critical that spot on 580 is. that big build is traditional out of the altamont pass and no process for vasco. we zoom out, you see from top to bottom this shot of the bay is moving nicely. the toll plaza does not have a backup. we are seeing a good build in volume over the last couple of minutes. those metering lights, even on a friday, should be on in the next 15. it looks like a good volume building right now. back to you. 5:32. former president trump out on bail after his arrest in atlanta. >> trump turned himself into the fulton county jail and made history as a first former

president to get a mug shot taken. scott mcgrew is here with us now. we're still awaiting a few people to surrender. >> that's right, overnight we got word that robert cheeley was booked in. there are two others, steven lee and trevian coody that have yet to show up. you've likely never heard those three names, but of course the whole world watched as this man arrived in atlanta. he stepped off the airplane with his signature blue suit and too long red tie. donald trump became the first former president to have his mug shot taken. law enforcement had not taken one up until now because donald trump is one of the most recognized people in the world, making a mug shot largely unnecessary. but local law in georgia requires it. former president trump is out on $200,000 bond, though he only posted 10%. he did it through a bail

bondsman who says he's confident trump will not skip out on bail. >> i think this is probably the most secured bond i've ever executed in my entire career. >> former trump chief of staff mark meadows surrendered earlier in the day. there are 19 defendants in all. these are the suspects we have mugshots for so far. all face racketeering charges. trump and giuliani face the most charges at 13 each. former president trump denies wrongdoing, saying it's his right to question the election results, but of course it's the actions, not the questioning, that led the prosecutor to file those charges. trump called into a right wing news network shortly after his release. >> terrible experience. i came in, i was treated very nicely, but it is what it is. i took a mug shot, which i never heard the word mug shot, they

didn't teach me that at the school of finance. >> four felony cases, more than 90 felony charges do not seem to have damaged trump's approval numbers. he still leads in iowa, the first test for republican candidates. back when trump ran for president the first time, he made a lot of noise over investigations into hillary clinton, though those never got as far as criminal charges. but trump warned us all, a candidate facing investigation would not make a good president. her current scandals and controversies will continue throughout her presidency, he warned. it's going to be virtually impossible for her to govern. and then he added, if she were to win, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. laura? >> thank you very much, scott. 5:35 right now. happening today, antioch police officers ensnared in the recent racist texting scandal are expected to testify at the contra costa county courthouse in martinez.

nearly half of all antioch police officers are now suspended in connection to the probe. around 20 of them have been named. a few were issued subpoenas by defense attorneys representing alleged gang members. today's testimony is tied to the defense attempt to have those cases dismissed. no cops allowed. that's the policy san francisco police officers union claims is being upheld by one mission district bakery. now, the union leaders are showing us an email they say proves what they believe is a bigoted policy. >> "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab joins us from the newsroom this morning. this would not be the first time police have been singled out in the bay area. what are they saying in this case? >> reporter: earlier this year, pizza squared fired an employee for asking officers to leave. that happened in san francisco. hilda and jessie, also in san francisco, faced backlash in 2021 after refusing service to three police officers. this morning, you're seeing

reactions about this controversy from both sides. some calling this business suicide for the restaurant. now, on their instagram page a week ago, reem's california said they are temporarily closing their doors at the mission street location to regroup, recenter, and reconcept, and that they will be open through sunday. that sunday was a day after this incident allegedly happened that san francisco police officers association are saying one officer encountered anti-police bigotry and was refused service when he tried to get a cup of coffee on saturday. we have reached out to reem's to get their side to this, but have not yet heard back. the poa sharing an email response they received on august 23rd, when they reached out to confirm this policy. now, it reads, quote, at reem's, we do have a policy not to serve anyone that is armed and in uniform. the president of the poa saying they want establishments to clearly post their policy. >> he was told by one of the

workers there that they had a policy where they didn't serve people in uniform who were armed. here we go again, you know, with this crap, basically. hey, if that's your policy, post it for everyone to see, right? we don't have to play these games. >> reporter: the officer involved issued a statement saying he was, quote, shocked and disappointed. he says, quote, i politely left because i believe that police officers and community members should spend more time listening to each other than shouting at each other, but you can't do that when your presence isn't wanted and your money is no good. now, the poa was asked, why make this public? and the president of the poa says they want people to know because the policy says anyone in uniform and police officers aren't the only ones who wear uniform. >> thank you so much, ginger. new this morning, oakland unified just received a new report on how to improve

services to schools. there's staggering new data on the number of suspensions died to violence. the firm public works llc analyzed disciplinary data and found the year before the pandemic, the number of suspensions at elementary schools was more than 200, for both middle and high schools it was more than 500. and in 2021 high school suspensions numbered more than 800. this year, the numbers are higher, but only for elementary and middle schools. analysts also looked at suspensions for violence and weapons. in 2018 there were more than 200 elementary and middle school suspensions, high schools it's around 400. last year, the number went up for middle and high schools, now there's only one that went down, high schools, but it's still close to 600 suspensions. the report recommends a stronger intervention and prevention program in all schools. let's take a live look at

we take a live look outside in oak, it's a cloudy start to our morning and it's going to be cloudy throughout much of the next several hours. temperatures staying in the 60s and briefly hitting 70 degrees. so cooler temperatures settling in. we'll talk about a warm-up ahead coming up. remember how we talked about seeing more traffic volume? that's what they detected on the traffic sensors as well.

they've turned the metering lights on. there's actually slowing now, which is a little bit unusual for 5:45 on a friday. but we're talking about back-to-school traffic kicking in. we've had a few weeks of adjustment. there may be more adjusting going on. >> thank you so much. to a live look at oakland, where community leaders are coming together to kick off the district 7 community safety task force's second annual day of action event series. the event will focus on stopping gun violence between 82nd avenue and 90th avenue, an area community members say is impacted by homelessness, illegal dumping, open-air drug markets and traffic and safety concerns. the day of action will provide direct access to resources for housing, health services and jobs. it will be along international boulevard from 86th to 90th avenues and it starts at 3:00 p.m. all this month we have been asking you to help us clear shelters and consider adopting a

cat or dog or any other animal. nbc bay area is teaming up with telemundo 48 and with shelters across the bay area. >> it's an annual event we all really look forward to. this morning "today in the bay"'s bob redell is live at the humane society in pleasanton. you've got some nice little new friends with you. >> reporter: we do. we're actually in a new surgery center for the valley humane society. we'll talk about that in a moment. tracy has got a very tired janelle wang, a pomeranian, who was rescued from fremont. this is jessica geary, also rescued from fremont. >> this was her friend. >> with her friend, marcus washington. marcus, the resemblance is uncanny, i'm sure. these two are buddies. we don't know what their story is before they got here, but they are up for adoption. the president of valley humane society is here.

what are you trying to tell people who have never rescued a dog? i've rescued animals. what do you tell someone who has never rescued an animal about what the experience is like? >> right now our shelters are packed full across the state of california with dogs especially, and a lot of times people think that animals end up in shelters because there's something wrong with them. so you're taking on a problem. that's really not true. the animals that end up in shelters are there because of human issues, like maybe they were evicted or couldn't find housing. those issues actually lead to really amazing animals like these three in our shelters. >> is it a turnkey, when you show up you pay the fee and you walk away with the dog? they've already been spayed or neutered? >> at valley humane society we believe stronger in people and we want to trust them, and so what we do is we go through a small application process just to get to know you, and then we really want to help you find the perfect match. so, yes, there is a small fee,

but mere microchipped, spayed and neutered, up to date on vaccinations. we want to make it easy for anybody that wants to do it. >> reporter: we're going to stand up and have an adult conversation. this is the new surgery center that opened up early may. why is this important? you say you're doing 40 procedures a day. yesterday was 45. a lot of spay and neutering. >> absolutely, right now affordable vet care is hard to find. we don't want our shelters impacted and need to be providing affordable spay and neuter surgeries. this facility will allow us to do that. >> reporter: thank you for being up early. which one do you guys want me to bring home? come here, marcus. marcus is shy. are you really this shy, marcus? >> no. >> remind me, this is jessica. hi, jessica. it's interesting, jessica was out here earlier without her friend, marcus, and she was

really shy. but once marcus showed up, tails are wagging. they're such a cute couple. >> that sounds like a normal day with jessica and me. >> reporter: go to valleyhumane.org if you want to get more information on helping us clear the shelters this month. >> i have to say, we're cute. >> definitely. you guys are adorable. i have to say the real marcus washington, though, his legs are a little longer. >> just a little bit. look, you can give marcus or jessica or whoever, help us clear the shelters this weekend. tomorrow nbc bay area and telemundo 48 are hosting two adoption events. one in the south bay, this is at santa clara animal services, and then in the east bay you can join laura and me. we will be at the berkeley humane and have a live report on "today in the bay" at 7:00 a.m. you can find all those details at

nbcbayarea.com/cleartheshelters. sometimes it's good to get out and be around the animals. if you're feeling low, go out and pet them. >> and there are opportunities to help out the shelters, too. you don't have to adopt. >> a lot of people bring their own dogs and go for walks. there's a lot of vendors, too. it's just a really fun family-friendly event. >> get out and enjoy it and take home a forever pet, hopefully. i'm going to make sure the weather is perfect. we're going to enjoy some sunshine, but also cooler temperatures. we're starting out cloudy, but we know that keeps us from warming up a little too quickly. we're headed for 85 in gilroy today and cupertino, expect it to reach 82 this afternoon. we're also going to see some mid to upper 80s for the inland east bay, with danville headed for 87 degrees, and in oakland expect a high of 75. we'll see some mid-70s in

head redwood city, 62 in the outer sunset and in san francisco upper 60s downtown. for the north bay, napa, as well as santa rosa, in the low 80s today. we compare that to the extreme heat that continues for the plain states and parts of the midwest, in dallas it's going to be 107 degrees. in phoenix, 110 today. we're also seeing hot temperatures farther to the north. we have great news here as we take a look at the drought monitor, the changes we've seen, there was still a small area of southern california that was under a moderate drought, but due to the rain from tropical storm hilary earlier this week, they've taken that area out of a drought. we've continued to see drastic improvements farther to the south. take a look at our inland temperatures where it's going to heat up, we're enjoying a little break for now, going from upper

80s to upper 90s, with temperatures peeking on wednesday. in san francisco expect very comfortable weather through the next few days. mike, you're reporting something in castro valley. >> reports of a crash, i got updates and it sounds like a non-injury crash. westbound is your commute direction. no slowing. it may be still in lanes as you get toward castro valley boulevard. there is a build for 238 and 880 shows more volume. the bay bridge did have the metering lights activated. if you were with us last time we had this report, we saw folks lining up on the edge of the screen. it's now moving more smoothly. they might have sped up the metering lights. back to you. >> thank you so much. happening now, major new funding is on the way to improve a stretch of roadway at risk from rising sea levels. north bay congressman mike thompson is announcing $155 million in new federal funding

to elevate part of highway 37. that route connects all four north bay counties, and some stretches are already plagued with flooding during bouts of heavy rain. highway upgrades are in the work and cal tran said the environmental report is expected to be released later today. local athletes taking center stage as the u.s. gymnastics championships tour continues in san jose. coming up, we're getting a closer look at some of the big names hitting the floor as paris looms large over the competition. a quick reminder, tonight the giants host atlanta at oracle and nbc bay area will oracle and nbc bay area will have it all for you.

ever colonize mars, researchers are finding there's a new personality traits defining the perfect candidates to head to space. scientists at george mason university set up a model to simulate colonizing mars. certain personalities are more desirable than others to work together to create the colony. those who may best survive are not very competitive, they tend to be more agreeable and the ideal candidates are willing to change routine and adapt. they would also probably be neither very introverted or extroverted and they would have to work well in a team. i say we could do that. the study is waiting to be peer reviewed, but it sounds like there's a few years until blastoff. >> have you ever seen "wayward pines" when the people got curious about the outside world? that's when they would
