good morning. it is sunday, september 17, 7:00, as we take a live look outside at the transamerica pyramid. san francisco on a cloudy morning. we're even seeing some drizzle out there on this final sunday of summer. thank you so much for starting it with us. i'm kira klapper.

meteorologist rob mayeda is in for cinthia. you basically should have slept here last night, you were here until 11:30. >> 24 hours of weather coverage. and the weather is nice and comfortable, but a little chilly by september standards. san jose with low clouds. cool start to the day with temperatures in the 70s inland today. and then later this week, fall officially gets started as we head into friday night. here's a look at this morning. a lot of low clouds. high clouds moving in from the south as we head through the afternoon. so morning temperatures, which are starting off in the upper 50s and low 60s. we'll eventually climb towards the low 70s by around lunchtime today for the tri-valley areas south of san jose. but the highs which ought to be in the mid 80s inland, how about only 77 degrees in livermore. 76 in san jose. upper 60s in san francisco. those temperatures start to warm up in that seven-day forecast coming up in a few minutes. >> rob, see you soon.

we have developing news that we brought to you as breaking news last night at 11:00. a los angeles county sheriff's deputy has died after being ambushed and shot in his patrol car. the l.a. county sheriff says the deputy was 30-year-old ryan clinkenbroomer. he was a third generation law enforcement official in his family. the deputy was an eight-year veteran of the department, and had been with the palmdale station since 2018. he also just got engaged five days ago. the apparent ambush happened around 6:00 yesterday evening in palmdale about an hour north of l.a. we have video you see there from above the antelope valley medical center where he was taken. you can see that large law enforcement presence as well as a sheriff's helicopter. l.a. county sheriff robert luna said the department is looking at a video, pulling alongside

momentarily and then speeding away. luna discussed how painful it is to lose one of their own. >> we're hurting because we lost somebody. it always hurts. we try to prepare you for this, but no matter how much they do, it hurts bad. but just about everybody worked with his father, which adds just a little bit more pain. >> sheriff luna says he does believe this was a targeted attack, but notes the investigation is still in the preliminary stages. we are also following a developing story in the south bay where police say a person was hit and killed by a car in san jose's evergreen neighborhood. it happened just before 8:00 p.m. last night near shopping senters at south, white and quimby roads. we are waiting for san jose police to release more information. oakland's mayor facing criticism for increasing crime and safety issues in the city is urging people there to take part in a city-wide survey.

>> let's go, oakland! >> the mayor here yesterday joined by community groups and young people kicking off a canvassing effort called "talking transition oakland." their goal is to get at least 5,000 oaklanders to weigh in on the online survey. topics include housing and homelessness, economic opportunity, and safety. the survey is an initiative hoping to give a microphone to thoses who voices have been ignored in the past. swez no that public safety is top of mind, housing, affordability is top of mind. but this is really engaging with our young people to get to what are some of the solutions? >> it's not acceptable. it's just -- we're living in fear. i never lived in fear in my life. >> another similar event is planned for next saturday at castle mont high school on macarthur boulevard. staying in oakland, we are learning more about another

deadly shooting, which we brought to you yesterday morning. we have since learned that a woman was killed. officers responded to the scene early yesterday morning around 3:00 a.m. at 12th and filbur streets near lowell park with the help of shot spotter technology. that software is from fremont based company sound thinking. they found a white bmw riddled with bullet holes. another victim is in the hospital recovering. homicide investigators are searching for that shooter. and we've been telling you the last few days how the city of oakland missed out on millions of state dollars to help tackle crime. oakland was left off of the governor's list because it didn't submit its application in time. we caught up with a city administrator, justin johnson, who says the mistake is on him. >> absolutely. that is the responsibility that rests with me. this is my team, and one thing i will say, our employees are working extraordinarily hard to do the best they can, managing the resources we have with it willed time, limited resources

and limited people to help drive performance throughout the organization. but we certainly accept -- i accept responsibility for what was lost. again, when it was brought to my attention a few weeks ago, we were able to jump in. but at the end of the day, one thing we will not do is blame employees for missteps. we look for opportunities to improve, and we see there is an opportunity to improve going forward. >> this is the first time the city administrator has answered questions on that issue. investigators in the north bay are looking into whether alcohol played a role in a deadry crash in marin. it happened just after 7:00 yesterday morning on canal street in san rafael. you can see skid marks there in the parking lot going into the water. police say the car may have been going 70 miles an hour down the street before it went off the road into the water. both people inside the car died.

police are getting toxicology reports for both victims. now to san francisco, where cleanup continues following that water main break that caused this massive sinkhole nearly one week ago. we spoke with one business hit by the flood waters now back open after the floors had a chance to dry out. alyssa gourd reports from filmore street. >> reporter: they were hit hard early monday morning when a 70-year-old water main ruptured nearby. >> i think a lot of the sewers and gutters were just completely full, so it kept running here. it's almost a pond here in our restaurant. >> reporter: they had to shut down monday through thursday, all the floors had to be ripped out, the concrete sanitized and painted over. they say city crews helped them clean out the water. >> thankfully, the city was able to help us out tremendously. we were able to open the doors yesterday, and it's been nice to be back to i would say somewhat

normal. >> reporter: they were overjoyed to reopen friday, and offered a sinkhole special happy hour in light of this unusual turn of events. >> i didn't realize it was that bad by the sinkhole over there. >> reporter: and neighbors are skeptical that construction teams estimate it could take six weeks to repair the water main. the city says is the break is repaired but pipelines underground still need to be replaced. as for wilder, they're waiting a couple more weeks for their permanent new floors to come in. when that happens, they expect to host another sinkhole special to celebrate. alyssa gourd, "today in the bay." we're going to turn now to the staggering data breaking down just how much debt americans own. marcus washington has some tips from experts to help you make it in the bay. >> reporter: good morning, kira. more americans feeling overwhelmed by debt and the new finding suggests it's only

rising, with no end in sight. rising interest rates and higher prices mean people are turning to their credit cards. right now, the nation's credit card debt is $1 trillion, an all-time high. and with increased interest rates, paying that off is getting more and more expensive. so experts say here are some tips foryou. first, start making more than just the minimum payment per month. that means thaan pay off that card faster with lower interest rates. second, keep track of your payments. you don't want to miss a payment, becauseho late keys can add up. third, don't rack up the balance, and avoid opening too many credit card accounts. the more cards you have, the more chances you have of getting into debt. they recommend take smaller steps and work on the small ones to attack the debt. >> we are big proponents called a debt snowball. let's start with the smallest debt, focus on paying off that account, and then move on to the

next. as you get the smallest debt paid off, you get the feeling of accomplishment, some of that overwhelmingness goes away. >> experts say debt can be a tool to buy a car or house, but people need to be careful with it. if you are using debt for living expenses, look for ways to trim your spending and avoid credit card purchases. see stories like this every monday through friday early on "today in the bay" starting at 5:00. then at 7:00, over on the streaming news cast. can't wait to see you there, kira. >> see you tomorrow morning. it is 7:10 right now. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, we go live to washington, d.c. for our first interview with kristen welker, interview with kristen welker, o has a wh

american television. she's the first black journalist to moderate a sunday public affairs program, and she's only the second woman ever to become moderator of the broad cast in its nearly 76-year history. please join me in welcoming kristen welker, chief white house correspondent and moderator of "meet the press." kristen, it is an honor to welcome you this morning. congratulations to you on this tremendous honor. >> oh, kira, thank you so much for your beautiful words. that means so much. it's honor to be with you, and i'm so excited. it's a great day. >> everyone across fbs is thrilled to have you. i want to note that you're making history with your interview with former president donald trump. that definitely says something about you, in his first broad cast interview since leaving the white house more than 2 1/2 years ago. it sounds like a wide-ranging interview, so not to put you on the spot, but what stands out to you the most or something that

viewers should look forward to hearing? >> kira, it's a great question. two things stood out. the first is how defiant the former president was when i asked him about the legal challenges that he's facing. those four indictments, clearly it's helping him politically in the primary. and so he really leaned into that, leaned into the idea that this is a political persecution against him. the other big takeaway was on the issue of abortion. i tried to pin him down on where exactly he stood, would he support a ban at 15 weeks for example. he wouldn't commit. he said i'm not going to commit to anything right now. i really want to, in his words, negotiate this and make sure that we find a place where everyone is happy, which as you know on this issue is an incredible challenge. but it's an issue that gop voters care about and people across the political spectrum care about. so they will be very interested

to what he has to say. >> very interested to hear that, and interested in hearing about potentially joe biden's looking into his background right now, and kristen, we look forward to hearing the rest of your interview. see you in about 45 minutes. we hope you join kristen for this morning's "meet the press." watch that full exclusive interview with former president donald trump if you stick with us. "meet the press" is on at 8:00 a.m. right after this news cast. coming up in about 30 minutes from now, we'll talk to nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment and look at the recent developments in the you newted autoworkers' strike, and a new development this morning with joe biden. turning to our climate in crisis, governor gavin newsom and the state attorney general are suing big oil. the lawsuit is against five of the world's biggest oil

companies, exxon, shell, chevron, conoco phillips, and british petroleum, and a group called the american petroleum institute. they say the companies have engaged in deceptive and damaging practices for more than 50 years while making huge profits. california taxpayers are footing the bill for the environmental and health impacts. none of the companies named in the suit have responded to the allegations thus far. a once famous river boat docked near vallejo caught fire and partially sank yesterday afternoon. firefighters responded to reports of heavy smoke and discovered the grand romance river boat on fire. four people were on board the boat. two were able to wade to land, the other two had to jump into the water. no one was hurt. the paddleboat spent many years in southern california as a dinner and murder mystery cruise

entertainment venue. this is what it looked like in 2019. it was brought to vallejo where it fell into disrepair. ♪ ♪ that's ed sheeran performing the song that started it all. levi stadium was packed last night, more than 71,000 people were expected to be there for the show, the biggest crowd this season. more than beyonce and taylor swift. the stage is smaller, yada yada. good for him. now to this kos positively adorable story. organizers calling it the largest corgi event on the west coast. the event featured a costume contest, races, corgi ninja

warrior. this was the first year the fair grounds hosted corgi con. it's normally held in san francisco, but organizers had to change venues due to changes in regulations. if you went to corgi con yesterday, we have some ideas what to do today. >> good morning, kira. now, today oakland will be home to a newly combined festival highlighting so many different aspects. the joint art and soul music festival, and after comic-con 2023, it brings today the world's mixed media, from spoken word to instrumental, celebrating black excellence and the anniversary of hip-hop, showcasing the bay area's influence. and on the peninsula, redwood city hosts a national celebration food, music, dance, transforming the courthouse square into a celebration of so many countries, including

mexico's mexican independence day. and there will be a special ceremony. and in san francisco, you have a journey of greek culture with the greek food festival at the greek orthodox festival with dancing, greek beer and bin. today is the last of the three-day event. tomorrow, i'm on traffic again, as usual weekday mornings on "today in the bay." >> see you tomorrow, mike. name to check in with rob who is in for cinthia with a look at the forecast. looks nice behind us, but lots of fog. >> closer to san francisco, we see the low clouds, but a few breaks around parts of the bay area. there's one, san jose at 64 degrees, on our way to mid 70s later on this afternoon. a little bit of high clouds coming in from the south. and the view again, walnut

creek, 63 degrees and the sea breeze will keep temperatures running about ten degrees below average today. there is a look at the low cloud cover in san francisco with drizzle at times. temperatures mostly upper 50s and low 60s. and the sea breeze and the on shore wind continues through fairfield, southwest at about 17 miles per hour. so hour by hour, low clouds starting to thin out as we pass lunchtime. at least for the inland valleys. there is a look at some of the high clouds in the south. no showers locally other than the drizzle we are seeing this morning. out towards the sierra, next couple of afternoons with the chance of thunderstorms around lake tahoe. so a lot of cloud cover to start the morning. hazy sunshine as we approach lunchtime. again, the highs, which typically should be in the mid 80s inland, upper 70s around livermore towards fairfield. concord, mid 70s closer to san jose. 71 degrees in oakland. 68 in san francisco. if you love further north, 80s

around ukiah this afternoon. one thing to watch the next couple of days in addition to the low clouds, mentioned the sierra thunderstorms. today and on monday, a chance of showers here and around the northern sierra and close to yosemite on monday. and overall, temperatures not changing much. monday in the upper 70s to near 80 inland. tuesday the same trend. if you look closely, wednesday, starting to see changes as the inland highs are getting closer to average. should see more 80s on wednesday. second half of the week looks interesting, especially for the sierra. could see a chance of showers increasing, as an upper low drops in. air by the way that could be cold enough for some snow showers on the higher peaks by thursday and friday. that's too far east of the bay area to bring us showers. probably looking at breezy conditions at times. and no signs of strong high

pressure, which means the seven-day forecast is going to be staying mild with likely the warmest days of the week approaching wednesday, which briefry means some low 70s around san francisco, and a few more of those mid 80s inland on wednesday. as the seven-day shows, by friday night and saturday, we officially move into fall. but temperature-wise, we did that about a week or so ago. temperatures are staying mild. >> funny as we go into fall, it gets milder. it's 7:22 right now. much more ahead. coming up, it was a tough day for the giants in colorado. we'll tell you why manager gabe kapler still believes in the head after yesterday's double-header sweep.

good morning, everyone.

the giants have lost nine in a row away from oracle park. colorado won game one of a doubleheader 9-5. in game two, down 4-1 in the 6th, michael confor theo sends this sac fly to left. then with the bases loaded in the 9th, giants with a chance to tie it. but a pop-up ends the game. the rockies sweep the doubleheader. final of game two, 5-2. the giants have dropped three in a row in colorado. they're 2 1/2 games of that final wild card spot with 13 games to go. >> we're a tough bunch. so the thing we need to consider right now is how many times we're able to get off the mat and keep fighting. so there's still plenty of time left and opportunity for us to make a real impact in this race. and come out on top. so we've got to keep fighting. at the coliseum, bottom 6th,

this is zach's 12th of the ye padres win it 5-2. the 49ers aim to continue their dominance over the rams. the niners have won eight straight in the regular season against l.a. some of the faces have changed on the rams. but aaron donald and quarterback matthew stafford are still a force. >> you don't know some of the guys, but you know 99 and the quarterback. you watch the schemes and nothing is really different. two really different schemes on both sides of the ball and two great players. college football. troy taylor's home opener at stanford was spoiled. wow, what a play here by the hornets. it's a 49-yard touchdown. that would be the difference in the game. they win 30-23. the cardinal fall to 1-2 on the season.

the earthquakes continue their playoff push, scoring here less than two minutes into the match. san jose wins 2-1. the quakes move up to 7th in the western conference. the top nine teams reach the postseason, and the top seven avoid the play-in game. that's a look at sports. i'm anthony flores for "today in the bay." it is almost 7:27 on your sunday morning. still to come, a southern california sheriff's deputy shot and killed in the line of duty last night. the heartbreaking information coming out about him as the search for the gunman continues. plus, a show of support here in the bay area. a concert and its connection that these pop stars have to maui.

oh ms. flores, what would we do without you? leader of many, and pet wrangler too. you report to your boss, every afternoon. so beautiful. so becoming a student again might seem impossible. but what if a school could be there for all of you? career, family, finances and mental health. well, it can. national university,

supporting the whole you. good morning. it is sunday, september 17th,

just shy of 7:30, as we take this live look outside at the campbell farmer's market. sun shining, a nice morning to get out and support your local farmers. thank you for starting your morning with us. i'm kira klapper. meteorologist rob mayeda joins us with a quick look at the forecast. clouds as we look over sfo. >> mostly cloudy around san francisco and downtown. if you want to look at the glass half full, we have some sunshine at the airport this morning. low clouds kind of the continuation of the cool weekend around the bay area. this is the last full weekend of summer. lots of low clouds for the morning. a few high clouds coming up from the south as we move forward into the afternoon. so morning temperatures starting off cool. upper 50s and low 60s. lunchtime, we see more sunshine inland. showing up for san jose, livermore.

60s for san francisco. but stay tuned to the forecast over the next seven days out towards the sierra. a look at that. what changes we could see to our weather here, as the shower chances increase off to the east. a look at the changes in the seven-day forecast coming up. kira? >> rob, thanks. now developing news right now that we brought to you as breaking news last night at 11:00. a los angeles county sheriff's deputy has died after being ambushed and shot in his patrol car outside of a sheriff's station. the l.a. county sheriff says the deputy was 30-year-old ryan clinkunbroomer. he was a third generation law enforcement official in his family. the deputy was an eight-year veteran of the department, and had been with the palmdale station since 2018. we have learned that ryan clinkunbroomer just got engaged five days ago. the apparent ambush happened around 6:00 yesterday evening about an hour north of los

angeles. we have video here at the antelope valley medical sent -- center where the deputy was taken. the sheriff is looking into a video of a car driving up behind ryan clinkunbroomer's patrol car, pulling up alongside it momentarily, and then speeding away. luna went on to discuss how painful it is to lose one of their own. >> we're hurting because we lost somebody. it always hurts. they try to prepare you for this, but no matter how much they do, it hurts bad. but just about everybody worked with his father, which adds just a little bit more pain. >> sheriff luna says he thinks this was a targeted attack, but the investigation is still in the preliminary stages. as we have been mentioning, we are about 30 minutes away from kristen welker's debut as moderator of "meet the press"

where she will interview former president donald trump. he is firing back after special counsel jack smith asked a judge to impose a gag order. monica alba has the latest. >> he wants to take away my first amendment rights. >> reporter: donald trump lashing out overnight, after special counsel jack smith asked a federal judge for a narrow gag order on what the former president can say about the election interference case he's facing. >> they want to see if they can silence me. >> smith's office accused president trump of issuing inflammatory statements targeting individuals involved in the case, cite thing post last month, where mr. trump wrote, if you go after me, i'm coming after you. mr. trump speaking to "meet the press" moderator kristen welker on another issue gaining steam in the 2024 campaign -- age. he's 77 and joe biden is 80. should there be an age limit to

running to president? >> no, but there should be a competency. you know, i took a test three years ago, and as the doctors said, and it was in front of doctors and a whole big deal at walter reed, which is an incredible place, and i aced it. i got everything right. i'm all for testing. i frankly think testing would be a good thing. a lot of people say it's not constitutional, but i would be for testing to test, make sure everyone's just fine. but a lot of people say that can't happen because of the constitution. >> what do you say to people who say it's time for a new generation of leaders. >> it's always time for a new generation. but some of the greatest world leaders have been in their 80s. i'm not near 80, by the way. and biden is not too old. i don't think biden's too old, but i think he's incompetent, and that's a bigger problem. >> that was monica alba reporting. by the way, again, we hope you join kristen welker for this

morning's "meet the press." you can see that full, exclusive interview with former president trump. if you just stick around with us. "meet the press" is on after this news cast. back here locally, we have been telling you how the city of oakland missed out on millions of state dollars to help tackle crime. oakland was left off governor newsom's list because it didn't submit its application in time. we caught up with the city administrator, justin johnson, who says the mistake is on him. >> absolutely. that is the responsibility that rests with me. this is my team, and one thingly say, our employees are working extraordinarily hard to do the best they can, managing the resources that we have, with limited time, limited resources and limited people to help drive performance throughout the organization. but we certainly accept -- i accept responsibility for, you know, what was lost. again, when it was brought to my attention a few weeks ago, we were able to jump in. but at the end of the day, one

thing we will not do is blame employees for missteps. we see there is an opportunity to improve going forward. that's the first time the city administrator has answered questions on that you are shoe. happening today in san francisco, a fund-raiser mixing performance and politics. a drag cabaret will be hosted by san francisco's so-called drag laureate. san francisco's supervisors met dorsey and raphael mandleman will perform in drag for the political fund-raiser, raising money for the united democratic club. they will hold a conversation on trans rights and lbgtq legislation. the show will be in selma at 1:00 p.m. one person has died in maine after cyclone lee made landfall in the northeast yesterday. it was a 51-year-old man that was killed after a falling tree

struck his car amid windy weather conditions. police were reportedly unable to reach the man because of powerline involvement. however, once central main power shut off the grid, crews were able to remove him from the car. authorities say the man was taken to the hospital where he later died from injuries. the investigation is ongoing. on maui, authorities hope to begin escorting residents into the fire ravaged areas of lahaina soon. people likely will be allowed into the burn zone september 25th, a week from tomorrow. but that timeline is fluid, as the epa continues to remove toxic materials from the area. meanwhile, support for maui continues to pour in. members of a pop group are using their talent to raise money for fire victims. >> reporter: they want to be

known as h-pop because all five members are from hawaii as they are raising money. crossing rain is crossing time zones to showcase their fancy footwork and songs. but they are hoping that their moves translate into money for fire victims in maui. >> i do have friends who have lost their family members and their family members have lost everything. so it does hit me, knowing that my family is hurting. >> reporter: the fires destroyed the town of lahaina. while dna lowered the death toll to

a few breaks in the clouds, san jose at 64 degrees. overcast skies around walnut creek and 63 degrees. low clouds and drizzle at times in san francisco, currently at 60. so what we are seeing inland should taper off around lunchtime. you may notice some high and mid-level clouds moving up from the south. but the best chance of showers will stay closer towards the sierra. highs today, mid 70s inland. typically this time of the around, highs are in the mid 80s. not this weekend. upper 60s near san francisco.

low 70s around oakland to hayward. 80s around lake county and mendocino county for the afternoon. we talked about the chance of seeing high clouds, as well. low pressure off to the west. it is pulling up a little moisture from the south, but in terms of the best shower chances, again, watch the sierra here as we head towards the afternoon. chance of thunderstorms from yosemite to the tahoe basin. north of mendocino county, during the day tomorrow, could see a few of those showers firing up in the mid afternoon hours and more thunderstorms towards the sierra. temperature wise for monday, not much change. mid to upper 70s inland. tuesday and wednesday, temperatures trying to climb up a little bit. more 80s. towards the middle park of the week, 60s and 70s, hanging around the inner bay. maybe the most interesting part of the forecast, you saw the chance of thunderstorms around the sierra as the weather for the second half of the week, as

the weather system drops in just to the east of the sierra. especially thursday and friday. better chances of more widespread showers and even a chance, the higher peaks of the sierra could see a dusting of snow while we deal with breezy conditions around the bay area. so your final days of summer, not warming up a whole lot. san francisco, close to the low 70s midweek. towards next weekend, the first official weekend of fall awaits us next weekend, which ironically enough, as you pointed out, will be a little warmer than the last weekend of summer we are seeing this week. >> we always get warmer closer to october. to october. rob, thanks so much we made it! bmo has arrived. hello? you said it. hello to more ways to save money,

grow your wealth, grow your business. just what we needed, another big bank. not so fast. how many banks do you know that reward you for saving every month? he's got a good point. did i mention bmo has more fee-free atms than the two largest us banks combined? uh, b-m-o? just "bee-mo", actually. quick question, will all this stuff fit in your car? ( ♪♪ ) should i get rid of the mug? ♪ bmo ♪

welcome back. as we have been reporting on friday, 13,000 members of the united out workers went on strike at the three big automakers.

new this morning, joe biden is sending his white house team early this week to help support negotiations in "any way the parties feel is constructive." nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins us now. hi, larry, always great to see you. >> good morning. >> the strike is significant for both sides. the workers, the companies themselves, and also for the american people, the economy. you told me that potentially $5 billion it could cost our economy this week alone. so can you explain the timing of this strike for us. >> yeah, that $5 billion means a lot, because imagine if this goes two, three, four weeks. you're talking about a major chunk of money. as to what brought this on, the contract expired, that's the first thing. but beyond that, it was the time, the union believes, to strike. not only to strike strike, but to strike for good wages, other things, because during this last period of time, all the way from the great recession, really

through covid, the union has given up money, they have lost workers. the companies have hired second tier workers making a lot less money. and meanwhile, they have enjoyed record profits. time to share, they say. however, what the companies say is look, we're going through a tough time as we convert to electric vehicles. it's very costly. >> so you just mentioned the second tier workers. the multiple issues the workers want, they want to be paid more, they want to be paid more equally as you just mentioned. so can you also go on to talk about other issues. >> first, as you said, dollars. the union wants 40% increase over four years. the companies say 20 beyond that, we have other issues that go along with that. job protection, they want to make sure as they go to evs, that they won't have to worry about losing jobs. then the question of the tiers that we talked about. 30% are making like $17 an hour

versus the other guys making $32. and 25,000 jobs have been off-loaded to mexico. so the union sun happy about that. >> wow. so how much of this dispute would you say is job specific versus larger issues in the american economy? does that make sense? >> no, it does make sense. we are talking about major changes in the economy these days. the auto industry is a good example. in 1979, there were 1.5 million uaw members. today, 430,000. why is that? well, think automation, changing values as we go to electric cars. all these things have led to major changes. there is another change. battery production jobs will be opening up, 25,000 over the next couple of years. 100,000 new jobs are believed to be coming down the pipeline as far as evs go according to major institutes. so there's a switch here, major

welcome back. here is a quick look at the stories we are following. a los angeles county deputy has died after being ambushed and shot in his car outside of a sheriff's station. the l.a. county sheriff announced overnight the name of the deputy. 30-year-old ryan clinkunbroomer. he was a third generation law enforcement official in his family. he was an eight-year veteran of the department, and had been with the palmdale station since 2018. we also learned that he had just become engaged five days ago. the apparent ambush happened around 6:00 yesterday evening in palmdale. that's about an hour north of los angeles. this is video from above the antelope valley medical center where he was taken and died. you can see a large law enforcement presence, as well as the sheriff's helicopter flying overhead there.

l.a. county sheriff robert luna has said the department is looking into a video of a car driving up behind the deputy's patrol car, pulling alongside it momentarily, then speeding away. he talked about how painful it is to lose one of their own. >> we're hurting because we lost somebody. it always hurts. they try to prepare you for this, but no matter how much they do, it hurts bad. but just about everybody worked with his father, which adds just a little bit more pain. >> sheriff luna says he thinks this was a targeted attack, but he notes that the investigation is still in its preliminary stages. here locally, we have been telling you how the city of oakland missed out on millions of state dollars to tackle crime. oakland was left off the list because it didn't submit its application in time. we caught one the city administrator justin johnson who
