we are here to honor an absolutely wonderful man, and that's ryan. >> right now at 5:00, a deputy ambushed and killed in the line of duty. a look at the growing memorial in southern california, and what investigators say may be key to capturing his killer. sunday night sideshows

descend to oakland. what we know about the response from police. also, california sues big oil. governor gavin newsom laying out allegations of deceptive tactics against some of the largest oil and gas companies. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you on this monday. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. we're going to take a look at the forecast with kari in just a moment. first, we want to start with mike. he's been tracking a traffic incident on 880. >> a major crash which for a period of time had traffic stopped getting toward the bay bridge from the nimitz freeway. let's take a look at the camera over in emeryville. we've turned it toward the 880 northbound direction, and you can see traffic is slowly getting by. let me point out exactly what's going on. traffic northbound coming up toward the bay bridge, there's still activity here, at least one larger vehicle, i think it might be a tow truck. some more lights are arriving behind it.

there's still activity blocking one of those lanes. one is open. this has been going on for a while. this backup continues to slowly build coming toward grand avenue and northbound 880 toward oakland. if you continue up 580 instead of cutting over, but northbound does get by slowing toward the toll plaza because of a major crash. it sounds like someone has been taken from the scene by an ambulance already. there were reports there was someone unconscious at the scene. the rest of the bay, things are moving pretty well. there is one shutdown northbound 680 coming into pleasanton. typical road work. kari, chp said there might be a stronger breeze across the antioch bridge. >> we're transitioning to slightly cooler temperatures. we had that over the weekend. at times the wind does pick up just a bit. as we are looking at san jose's day planner and what to expect throughout the day, temperatures in the low 60s to start. as we go throughout the morning,

it's going to become mostly sunny and a really nice day ahead, as we only reach into the upper 70s in the south bay. we'll see some low 80s, but these numbers coming down, after some warm weather last week. take a look at our highs around the bay area today. it will be about the same tomorrow, with temperatures mostly in the mid to upper 70s, a few low 80s as you head to morgan hill, as well as toward concord. generally cooler temperatures, so make sure you have that jacket at least for the start of the day. another look at the forecast in a few minutes. >> thank you. well, first this morning, some breaking news out of san jose. this is video just into our newsroom. san jose police are investigating a reported shooting. it happened near coyote creek trail and capitol expressway. as you can see right here, there are emergency crews there at the scene. a person was seen on a gurney being put into an ambulance. now, we have reached out to san jose police to find out more about this investigation.

of course we're working to find out the condition of that person transported. we will bring you information as soon as we get it. also developing this morning, but in southern california, the manhunt continues following the ambush-style killing of an l.a. county deputy. authorities identify the deputy as 30-year-old ryan clinkunbroomer, found saturday night in his patrol car near the palmdale sheriffs station. >> last night mourners gathered outside of the station for that memorial to honor the fallen deputy. hundreds lit candles, sang songs, showing their support for his family and fellow comrades. as for the information and investigation into this, the sheriff's office is now offering a quarter million dollar reward to track down that shooter. >> i'm going to continuously refer to them as cowards, because that's what they are, cowards, to attack a deputy sheriff in uniform in a black and white just sitting there at a red light, about to go out and

serve our community. that is absolutely 100% unacceptable. >> now, investigators are poring over video evidence, including footage of a car that rolled up to the deputy's patrol car at about the time of the murder. that car is identified as a 2006 to 2012 gray toyota corolla. protesters are gearing up for the arrival of israel's prime minister meeting today with elon musk. it comes amid accusations that musk is allowing anti-semitism to fester on the social media network formerly known as twitter. kris sanchez joins us near the tesla headquarters this morning. this is a place where protesters plan to gather, kris? >> reporter: we do expect that protesters will gather here in fremont near the tesla station, tesla factory, at about 8:00 this morning. it is really tough to get close to that factory, because tesla owns the road in front of it. so we'll have to see where protesters start to gather.

but the organizer, the co-founder of a group called unacceptable, put out a statement that reads in part, it is deeply unacceptable that benjamin netanyahu, leader of the world's only jewish state who calls himself the protector of israel is flying across america to seek counsel and support from a notorious enabler of anti-jewish hate speech. this is from the co-founder of unacceptable. elon musk is expected to meet with the prime minister of israel to ease a growing war of words over claims of anti-semitism on x, formerly known as twitter. insiders say this meeting between prime minister netanyahu and musk is the latest step by executives for the social media site to head off what could be a legal battle over hate speech on the platform. several groups have accused musk of allowing anti-semitic groups to flourish on his site. musk has threatened to sue over those accusations, calling them defamation. netanyahu is coming to the u.s.

or is in the u.s. for the annual meeting of the united nations general assembly, which starts today. now, the group unacceptable also plans to protest in san francisco and in san jose, including at mineta san jose, where we expect arrivals later this morning. in fremont, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> could be a busy morning. thank you very much, kris. [ sirens ] oakland police with their hands full with sideshow activity last night. a crew caught cars gathered at 21st and later in west oakland near 17th. police do say officers were conducting high visibility enforcement, but so far there's no word on any arrests. and developing this morning, a big meeting on tap for oakland police commissioners dealing with the search for a new police chief. oakland has been without a chief for seven months now. this is since mayor sheng thao

fired leronne armstrong. last week things came to a head when the mayor suggested the commissioners are dragging their feet. the mayor also said that she's considering a state of emergency if a short list cannot be assembled by the end of the year. the meeting today is expected to provide an updated timeline. our bob redell is following developments and will have more in the next half hour. governor gavin newsom is opening up about his battle to take on oil giants. he spoke yesterday to help kick off climate week and talked about the lawsuit he's filed with state attorney general rob bonta. the state claims big oil has knowingly engaged in deceptive practices for decades and the governor says he's had enough. >> i'm sick and tired of this, and if california can make a dent with respect -- those of you from germany, soon to be the fourth largest economy in the world, the size of 21 american states combined, the scale and

scope of what the state of california can do, we think can move the needle. it sure as hell can do this, it can illuminate their deceit. >> in response to reuters, one of the companies named, american petroleum, calls this an issue that should be argued in congress, not the court system. every major oil producer is named in the suit. 5:08 this morning. taking a live look in downtown san jose. meteorologist kari hall has been monitoring what we can expect as we get this week started. nice and cool this morning. >> yeah, last few days of summer. we're going to officially kick off fall by the end of the week, and we're going to see cooler temperatures starting to settle in. as we take a live look at the golden gate bridge, it is clear visibility as you're driving across and coming out of the north bay. as we take a look at novato, it's in the upper 50s. we're going to have a cool morning start, a few clouds, and then see it clearing out around

10:00 to 11:00 this morning. then we'll be in the upper 60s at noon, 69 degrees and sunny, and eventually making it up to 79 degrees. you can see these numbers across the bay area look really great for today, with some upper 70s from san mateo to mountain view, 77 also expected in hayward, and 79 today in santa rosa. so we'll get a look at what's ahead for the rest of this last few days of summer. that's coming up. mike, how is it looking filling up at the station? >> i wanted to end summer on a good note. well, we have a note. we're going to start with the low in south bay, safeway at $4.85, still under $5, and that's what we try to find if they're available. alameda county has hayward's costco, the low of $4.95 in the middle. both costcos in hayward have that price. marin county, we cannot get below $5 in that county. hq fuels on shoreline highway at

made this show amazing and, of course, ed, for putting on a terrific performance. there is zero doubt that a crowd this large had an overwhelmingly positive effect on local businesses and hotels in our community who benefit from events at the stadium. >> santa clara has had a good run there. >> they have. >> spectacular shows. >> with the lights and everything, that looked amazing. i saw that jessica went to the show, too. >> sometimes you can live through others to see a concert. >> yeah. >> i've been to the last three without going. >> right. didn't pay a dime. >> and i go outside because of kari. >> there you have it. we have great outdoor weather for the next few days, and we're going to see cooler temperatures settling in for the valleys. there won't be much of a change for san francisco. we've had a lot of mild days here. as you make your way inland, take a look at what to expect. in concord, we're starting out with low 60s. at 8:00, we're at 62 degrees.

a slow rise in temperatures as we make it throughout the day. at 4:00, we're reaching high temperatures, reaching into the upper 70s. we may briefly touch the low 80s. as we look at all of our temperatures for today, reaching to the upper 70s in napa, novato reaching 79, about the same in santa rosa, and san francisco in the low 70s today, mountain view reaching 77 and los gatos headed for 82 degrees. tomorrow we see still the breezy wind and slightly cooler temperatures continuing. livermore staying in the 70s, so that's a nice little taste of fall that will continue throughout much of the week, with low 80s in our warmest spots inland. then we take a look ahead to see when we could see rain, and it looks like it continues for the next several days for the sierra, staying to the east of us. but for the bay area, we just get a strong wind coming off of the ocean and keeping temperatures down. we may see a chance of showers well beyond that seven-day

forecast. we'll be watching that. take a look at fairfield, one of our warmer spots we usually have in the inland areas. it's going to be in the upper 70s and low 80s throughout much of the week. you can expect for it to warm up by the end of the weekend, but that's upper 80s coming our way for the end of the weekend. fall officially begins late friday night and we'll see temperatures in the low to mid-80s this weekend. so still looking great out there, as our temperatures will be slightly cooler throughout the week, but a touch warmer for the weekend. mike, are you seeing changes now in the east bay? >> yeah, good change, the positive changes that the crash cleared, 880 north at grand. that was stopping things up for the short section approaching the bay bridge. i was worried that there would be too much traffic at one time at the bay bridge toll plaza, but it has remained smooth. the impact of the backup in oakland has cleared. we're back to your normal morning here, 5:22 at the bay bridge toll plaza. we should see metering lights on in the next 15 to 20 minutes. we see any slowing coming toward

grand has cleared as well and everything else is status quo. there was no real ripple effect. it happened so early. highway 4 is a little slow. westbound highway 4 at bailey there is a disabled vehicle in the middle of the roadway. there's a little more slowing. there may be a crew. there's still the hillside fire, west 580 has one lane open as you pass by the over-crossing. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 5:22. next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> a lot of complaints we hear from classics. well, today a first in our library. a local author asks us to turn up the volume on a publisher. up the volume on a publisher. i'm consumer investigarto alaska airlines $99 companion fare means that you can bring your best friend...

community now demanding justice. >> shocking, it's tragic. i mean, these are people who wake up every day and leave their families to protect us, and for something so senseless, it's heartbreaking and it's nice to see the community coming together and supporting this man and his family and all of our laugh. because that's something that's not happening enough lately. >> reporter: sheriff luna vowing to find the murder. surveillance video shows a car pulling up to the deputy's car saturday evening and taking off. the sheriff called that car a vehicle of interest and it's described as a 2006 to 2012 toyota corolla, dark gray in color. a $250,000 reward has been established for anyone who has information that leads to an arrest. reporting in palmdale, i'm lauren coronado for "today in the bay." barriers installed in san francisco's mission neighborhood to deter sex workers has not

fixed the problem, it's only moved the issue to another area. that's what neighbors on nearby shotwell street say. they say ever since the barriers were installed on capp street, they're seeing a spike in sex workers. they shared video sharing activity between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. and some say it gets aggressive. >> it doesn't let us sleep, it doesn't let us step out after sunset, which our friends, our family doesn't feel comfortable visiting us in the evening. >> some are asking for the same type of a collapsable barrier, which are now in place on capp street. in a recent email to neighbors, police shared the city is actively trying to reduce the number of cars and may consider the change. happening today in san francisco, israel's prime minister is scheduled to meet with elon musk. it comes in the wake of recent

controversy generated ever since musk bought twitter. some civil rights groups accuse musk of allowing anti-semitism to flourish on the site now known as x. musk denies the allegation and has threatened to sue for defamation. he recently blamed antidefamation league pressure for a big drop in ad revenues. today's meeting in san francisco is expected to cover artificial intelligence and tech-related issues. netanyahu then heads to new york for this week's united nations general assembly meeting. new signs of relief for bay area renters struggling to make it in the bay. not only are bay area rents dropping, but august numbers declined at the highest rates in two years. one bedroom rental prices in contra costa county dropped nearly 5% year-over-year. alameda county had a similar drop. in san francisco, rents fell

about 4%, and the decline is slightly less for the peninsula and the south bay. moving you forward on capitola's recovery from winter storms. here is a live look at the wharf near santa cruz, which has been closed ever since sustaining severe damage in january. this week, the rebuild is set to start. crews are planning to install new decking and railings to make the wharf more resilient against future storms. the work is expected to wrap up sometime next year. cleanup under way in new england from that large storm that rolled through over the weekend. at one point lee was a hurricane, but not by the time it hit parts of maine with force. one person died there in a weather-related traffic accident, and the brunt of the storm hit western nova scotia before moving out into the atlantic last night. meteorologist kari hall is here this morning. you've been tracking another storm brewing in the atlantic?

>> yes, we're currently at the peak of hurricane season. september 10th is when we typically see a lot more activity in the atlantic, and we do have another storm that's developed that is now a hurricane called nigel. you can see it's well out in the middle of the open water in the atlantic and we are not expecting this to have a huge impact on a lot of land areas. right now it is a category 1 hurricane, very warm water out there. we are expecting this to continue to intensify. it is moving to the northwest at about 12 miles per hour. this is what we like to call a fish storm, one of those storms that stays out over the water, doesn't have an impact on land, but it could strengthen to a major hurricane as we go into the next few days. taking a look at that list of names, we've exhausted all of the ones up to nigel at this point and we can see that there is one more row of names left in

alphabetical order for the rest of the season. so most likely we may have to go into the greek alphabet if this kind of activity continues, as hurricane season doesn't wrap up until november 1st. at home, we're looking at quiet weather, cooler temperatures, and we're starting out mostly around 60 degrees. take a look at your microclimate and where you're headed. in spots like concord it's going to reach up to 82 today, 84 in san martin and morgan hill. in the north bay, we're looking at upper 70s today. we'll talk about what's ahead coming up. mike, you've been tracking a number of issues on the roads. >> i have. they're in the commute direction. the big concentration over here, south 680 toward sunol, we have a crash that's moved from the middle of the freeway to the left lane. it's in the fast lane there as you're coming down, you see the jam from bernal all the way to past the sunol exit. the merge is moving smoothly, easy drive out of livermore and

changes for the rest of the week in a few minutes. we're looking at san jose, north 101. we just missed the first big slowdown here. things are starting to break up northbound just past 680, 280. this will start to move a little better, we're hoping highway 4 moves better. pittsburg is really jammed up and it's possibly affecting other parts of contra costa county. breaking news right now. five americans held in iran for almost eight years are now said to be at an airport in tehran where they will soon head home, after the u.s. freed up to $6 billion in iranian oil revenues as part of a controversial swap. iran can only use the money for humanitarian items like food and medicine, but in an interview with lester holt, the iranian president says the restraint is broad and applies to anything iranian people need. republicans have slammed president biden for what they're

calling a ransom payment. it's not clear when the prisoners will touch down on american soil. and new this morning, hunter biden is suing the internal revenue service. president biden's son claims agents have been sharing his private tax information. it comes in the wake of indictments filed against him by a special counsel in connection with the guns he purchased back in 2018. the three charges include making false statements on a federal firearms form and illegal possession of a firearm. this is the first time the justice department has charged the son or daughter of a sitting president. the clock is ticking this morning for congress to reach a deal to avoid a government shutdown. lawyers have until the end of the month. "today in the bay"'s brie jackson is in washington with the latest on negotiations. >> reporter: house republicans working around the clock to address internal bickering and avert a looming government shutdown. >> i feel we've made some good

progress. >> i'm optimistic we will continue to move the appropriations process forward, and that includes the dod appropriations bill. >> reporter: critical factions of the house gop reached a tentative deal sunday. it paves the way to pass a defense spending bill, which republicans held up last week, and provides a short-term solution for government funding, keeping military and va funding at current levels, while cutting other domestic spending by 8%. there's no mention of more money for ukraine, which is something president biden is pushing for. >> the house certainly, and certainly the republican caucus overwhelmingly supports aid for ukraine. there will be issues over what the administration has asked for and what congress ultimately gives. >> reporter: it includes hard line republican border measures, which democrats are unlikely to support. >> we have a vision to put people over politics. that's what we should be doing. >> reporter: even some republicans say a shutdown is imminent. >> i've talked to some federal employees that don't really mind

it because they're going to get a vacation, they're going to get time off and then backpay. we're not grumbling about a shutdown. >> reporter: the gop faces an uphill battle just days before. some are trashing the republicans' short-term bill calling it extreme. and even if it does pass the house, the measure is likely to hit a roadblock in the democrat-controlled senate. in washington, brie jackson, nbc news. summer almost over, meaning whale watching season is nearly upon us. >> one of the busiest places in recent years has been through the heart of monterey bay. so watchers have recently seen killer whales and humpback whales. the whales can be seen year-round, but right now they have moved to the coast into monterey bay. those whales follow fish, and once they're there, it's a feeding frenzy. dolphins are also plentiful out

there. we don't usually see dolphins out there. this is high up in the coast there. so those warm waters from el nino and the change, on one day, watchers saw a pod of almost 1,000 dolphins. if you want to catch a glimpse, all you have to do is take a road trip. >> you don't have to travel far, to alaska, hawaii, to see whales. we truly have the greatest gathering of marine mammals on the entire planet right here in monterey bay. >> whale watcher tours in monterey bay happen throughout the day. you can actually catch the sunset while watching majestic animals dine on anchovies. >> that is amazing to see. >> i didn't know the pods were that numerous. >> how do you count that many?

it seems like you would lose count. >> they're playing. did they count me? they get double-counted. >> i have a feeling, we would be, like, i don't see anything. >> i've been on a whale watching tour and i need to go next time on a bigger boat. >> a little dramamine? >> everyone was green and laying to the side, but we did see a whale. >> that's all that matters. >> it was worth it. >> i would go again, but like i said, on a bigger boat. so let's get started this morning on a monday. it's going to be really nice out there. we're starting out cool as you're getting out the door. here is a live look outside in oakland. we see a few clouds overhead and at least visibility is clear. as we head toward the peninsula, in belmont, it's going to be mostly cloudy as you're heading off, temperatures in the upper

50s. as we go throughout the morning, it's going to start to clear out and temperatures headed for the upper 60s at noon, feeling really comfortable. as we go to the south bay, in los gatos, expect a high of 82. it will be 84 in morgan hill and 79 in san jose. it will be in the upper 70s for hayward for today, while we'll see temperatures mostly in the low 80s for the inland east bay. then for the peninsula, upper 70s from palo alto to san mateo. san francisco reaching mostly into the 60s. we may see low 70s in the mission district. napa reaching 77. clear lake today, 82 degrees. our numbers are coming down just a bit. as we take a look at gilroy and what to expect over the next ten days, how about low 70s for wednesday and thursday, a nice, breezy wind picking up. cooler air moving in, but it will be a little warmer for the weekend, as well as the start of next week. we're looking ahead to see that there will be a chance of daily showers and thunderstorms for

much of the week for the sierra, while the bay area will be mainly dry. once again, our temperatures will be cooling off for the middle of the week. fall officially begins late friday night for the west coast. the first full day of fall will be on saturday with temperatures in the low 80s. for san francisco, expect highs to reach into the upper 60s and low 70s. mike, you're explaining a shift in the east bay. >> yeah, some people will be glad. it looks a little lighter at the bay bridge. it was really light for a few minutes. let me explain why. the backup was held up by a couple of bigger crashes. the one at west 80 involved a motorcycle and we had traffic stopped up. it cleared from the roadway, sending a lot of traffic down here behind me. highway 4 also has this big jam at san marcos. the crash still reportedly blocking lanes. watch more slowing toward walnut creek. back to you. happening now, state senators are introducing

welcome back. you're watching "today in the bay." turning to our climate in crisis, the current state of the earth is not looking good, according to a new study by a group of international

scientists. they looked at nine key environmental factors and found that six of them are, quote, now well outside the safe operating space for humanity, end quote. that includes climate change. the study claims two of the three remaining factors, ocean pollution and our air pollution, are worsening. the only signs of improvement is the ozone layer, which we know we were using cfcs, the aerosol sprays and hair sprays and air-conditioning and things like that. we realized that was depleting the ozone and we cut back, and that's the only thing that's improving right now. >> no hair spray, obviously. americans care less about children having good manners compared to other countries. this kind of upsets me a little bit. that is according to new findings from kings college in london, which surveyed people in 24 countries. parents in the u.s. were the least concerned with having

well-mannered children, while parents in egypt, nigeria and morocco value those qualities heavily. american parents put more value in hard work, imagination, tolerance and respect for others, which are also very important. let's get the manners, too. please and thank you. you can check out what is trending. head over to nbcbayarea.com. we've got a yellow trending bar at the top of our page. a quick reminder, you be watch nbc bay area news whenever you like. we stream on many different platforms. you can watch breaking news, news conferences and even repeats of our newscasts. right now at 6:00 -- >> i'm going to tell you, whoever did this, i would give in or i would give up really quick. we are going to find you. >> shot and killed in an ambush. the manhunt under way this morning for the gunman who killed a southern california deputy and the video investigators h c
