blocked. a couple of lanes are blocked by an overturned vehicle and another involved. they may be clearing lanes now, but the jam-up is between highway 4 and hilltop drive. this freeway, southbound 680, there was a lot of slowing. i think they may have cleared one crash. there may be a second before you get to highway 84. still slow with the build from pleasanton toward sunol. highway 84 is moving smoothly. more volume. the rest of the bay pretty standard. we'll talk about the south bay coming up. it is just shy of 6:03. oakland police are investigating a deadly shooting that happened last night around 9:30 on arthur street. the oakland police sergeant tells our photographer on scene the victim did die. police have not released any information on a person of interest, nor a motive, but we will bring you more information when it comes in. we're learning more about the tributes in place for the late senator dianne feinstein.

"today in the bay"'s bob redell joins us live from cal state east bay, where those students are waking up to the news. bob, it was about three years, wasn't it, that people got that pause on their payments? >> reporter: correct, three and a half years, just over that. you'll recall that president donald trump paused the repayments on student loans at the start of the covid-19 pandemic. this was a pause that was extended eight times before students here at colleges and

universities. yesterday, the pause that lasted more than three and a half years came to an end, which means those monthly payments will start up again. however, not all borrowers' bills will be due starting right now. the department of education is encouraging people to log onto their federal student aid portals and check who their servicer is, because it could have changed over the past three plus years. for those struggling to pay, the department has implemented the new save plan, that's an income-driven repayment plan aimed to ease the burden on borrowers. it could significantly lower your monthly payments if you qualify. >> if you make less than about $15 an hour or more if you have a family to support, you don't have to pay anything. that's because we think student loans shouldn't come before necessities like rent and foot. >> not only is this plan supposed to be easier for people to qualify for, it's supposed to be easier to fill out the application for it.

>> reporter: if you miss a payment, the department of education also set up a 12-month on-ramp program, that means borrowers won't be reported to credit or debt collection agencies for a year. however, your interest will still be accruing. all details for payment plans can be accessed at the studentaid.gov website. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. 6:06 right now. all eyes focused on a manhattan courtroom today. the civil trial surrounding former president donald trump's business practices is expected to get under way this morning. drew petrimoulx joins us live from washington to break down what we're going to see. despite this looming legal battle we're seeing, the former president is certainly not taking a break from the campaign trail. >> reporter: yeah. good morning, laura. ahead of today's trial the former president was on the campaign trial and on the offensive.

making stops in california on friday and iowa on sunday. a live look right now at the new york courthouse, where the trial is taking place. this case focuses on a $250 million civil lawsuit brought by new york's attorney general. prosecutors allege that trump, his businesses and some of his children have been wildly exaggerating their business assets for years. last week, a judge ruled that trump and his associates committed real estate fraud. this civil trial could determine whether mr. trump loses control over some of his most famous properties. >> what are the implications of the civil fraud trial for mr. trump? >> well, if he loses, and the reason why he's apparently coming here tomorrow is because he doesn't want to lose, if he has to pay $250 million, if he and his sons can no longer conduct business in new york, that's a fatal blow. >> reporter: this is new video of trump arrive at trump tower last night ahead of the trial. mr. trump has denied all

wrongdoing and has called the judge in the case deranged. trump also faces four criminal trials, including two at the federal level, one in georgia and another in new york state. this civil case will be heard as a bench trial, meaning no jury. the former president is expected to be in court today and tomorrow, before leaving new york on wednesday. however, sources tell nbc news that plans could change. >> a busy week ahead for the former president. thank you very much, drew. it's almost 6:09 on your monday morning. the man accused of killing a tech executive from san francisco is due back in court. nima momeni is charged with killing cash app founder bob lee. this morning a judge is expected to set a date for the trial. lee, as you might recall, was stabbed to death in april. new at 6:00, two scientists just awarded this year's nobel prize in medicine. katalin kariko and drew weisman for studies that helped develop

90s, the coast and the bay into the 80s. with the warmer temperatures comes an elevated fire danger as the winds start to pick up, especially for the hills, by the end of the week. take a look at gilroy. we have another day of some mild temperatures going from low 50s this morning, to mid to upper 70s. and we're looking at mostly upper 70s from parts of the peninsula to the east bay, with a few low 80s on the map. we'll talk more about this and the warping ahead coming up in a few minutes. mike, i know it's hard to find some low gas prices. what are you seeing now? >> i would like someone to help me out with double confirmation. i want someone to stop for gas in san pablo and confirm the $4.59 reported at great gas, because that is the leader, by far, throughout that county and the bay area. meanwhile, san jose's best is $5.19 at national petroleum. most prices are at 6 bucks. vallejo's lowest is $5.39,

sinclair on fairgrounds drive. as we look to the roadways, a few slow spots here. we are looking at south 680 where there have been two crashes, south 680 just before and just after the 84 merge. the one after the 84 merge could result in traffic backing up out of livermore and pleasanton. i believe a number of vehicles are on the shoulder, a couple might be in lanes from the two crashes. southbound 101, there is a disabled vehicle in the middle of the roadway. back to you. it is almost 6:12. first, the writers got their deal and now the actors are hoping they're next. negotiations resume today in hollywood. up next, we'll tell you about the demands from actors and what we can expect at the bargaining table. plus, apple figures out a way to cool down the brand new iphones. let's take you out to the futures. first day of the finl quarter looking a lot like the third quarter. red arrows.

its toes, and says it helped return $16 billion to 192 million americans. it's never been popular with conservatives, the entire idea for it belonged to elizabeth warren. a group of payday lenders has sued saying the bureau is too independent. the head of microsoft is expected to testify today in the google antitrust trial. microsoft ceo satya nadella will describe the difficulty microsoft had with launching binge and its new web browser in the face of what it may term unfair competition from google. and apple is releasing a patch to its ios operating system to cool down those iphone 15s. particularly those with the iphone 15 pro have been saying their phone gets so hot in certainly situations, they can't hold it. it doesn't seem to be a level of danger, but apple is going to fix it with this software fix.

what they're saying is part of the problem is just a simple bug in the software. also, all those apps that want to update themselves to the new operating system are trying to do so simultaneously and your iphone is working really hard. that's why it's getting so hot. >> there's a lot of apps on there, too. >> i don't have the new phone, but i found my battery is really dying with the new operating system, with all the apps updating in the background. >> all of that should go away at some point as the apps update themselves. >> scott, thanks. this could be an important week for striking actors. lead negotiators for sag-aftra and hollywood resume today. the strike with writers officially ended last week. actors joined writers on the picket lines back in july. that brought to a halt production on most television shows and movies. some of the demands is actors union is fighting for include

better pay, working conditions, as well as contracts that include protections against the use of artificial intelligence. and now that the writers strike is officially over, that means late night tv is back. ♪♪ >> after five long months, "the tonight show" is back with all new episodes, starting monday. >> wait, monday, like this monday? man, i've got to shave. >> how is his hair so black if his beard is so gray? jimmy fallon is back tonight. he will be joined by matthew mcconaughey and john mayer. that will be followed by "late night with set meyers," also making its comeback. you can watch after our 11:00 p.m. news. have you bought your ticket yet? the $1.04 billion jackpot is the fourth largest in the history of the game. the drawing happens tonight, so good lock if you're going to play. >> you'll need it, right?

throughout the week. let's take a look at what we're expecting. warm and dry weather this week, and we'll see the dry october offshore winds starting to develop. not only that, but temperatures will be ramping up, with some 80s and 90s in the valleys, and the fuels, that means vegetation on the hills, will continue to dry out. as we are dealing with that and the gusty winds, low humidity, a fire danger will be quite a bit elevated due to the dry and warm conditions. now, we're also going to start out this morning with low clouds and it's going to be partly cloudy for much of your east bay morning. the commute starting in the low 50s and in the mid to upper 60s. as we zoom into the south bay, here is a look at our highs, reaching 78 degrees in cupertino, 79 in morgan hill, and in east san jose, with some upper 70s and a few low 80s from walnut creek toward antioch, and 75 in hayward. for parts of the peninsula,

we're also in the mid-70s. it's been nice and comfortable. eventually we'll go back to sunshine. we'll reach 70 in the mission district, while the outer sunset will hit a high of 73 degrees, and novato and santa rosa reaching 79. we've had quite a few storms moving through the pacific northwest, but high pressure for now will start to block those storms and keep that storm track well away from the bay area. so it was nice to have the rain over the weekend, but it may not be until next week when we start to see rain chances coming back. between now and then, we're going to see the high pressure ramping up and temperatures spiking. it's going to feel like summer in some of our inland valleys, headed for the mid-90s. this is a look at our trend for morgan hill, going from upper 70s to 96 degrees on thursday and friday. so hopefully you still have the air-conditioning tuned up and the pool is ready, because we'll need it as we have some summer-like temperatures by the end of the week.

mike, you're hearing about progress for some of the crashes? >> i'm hearing about it, but i have yet to see the sensors with changes. they've made progress removing some of the vehicles in this crash on westbound 80. no major injuries, but the same jam from highway 4 to hilltop drive, and then everything is clear toward the bay bridge. if these are clearing, if these vehicles do clear, when they do clear, you'll see a lot of traffic released down to the bay bridge where the backup has filled to the end of the parking lot. 680, vehicles should be clearing any second as you head toward sunol. back to you. >> thank you so much. making history yet again, still ahead, the latest feat from olympic champion simone biles. >> first, check out who came out on top at this weekend's barbecue. kris sanchez posted this over the weekend. her husband and friends won the amateur people's choice award at this year's barbecue in the

[ gunfire ] >> sounds like fireworks, but that's gunfire. all of this happening just after midnight at the intersection of 104th and international. oakland police told our photographer at the scene they got a report of almost 30 or 40 shots fired. officers say it may have been a possible sideshow gathering. officers say they've not received any reports of injuries. of course, we're following this story closely. if we get any more details, we will bring them to you. we are also remembering

senator dianne feinstein this morning. >> that's right. the late senator made her final journey home to san francisco over the weekend. while that was happening, late last night laphonza butler was named to the late senator's seat. governor newsom's appointment is breaking all sorts of barriers. that's why we turn to "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab live in san francisco. ginger, it's only been, what, three full days since the late senator passed, and a lot has happened since then. >> reporter: really a lot has happened over the weekend. good morning to you. some political experts are applauding this move by governor gavin newsom and the speed in which he has appointed laphonza butler to fill the vacant seat left by senator dianne feinstein. as early as tuesday, she may get to cast votes in the senate and to keep california's interests

on the senate floor. this decision is also being seen as one that is not interfering with candidates who have expressed their interest in running for senator feinstein's seat in the next election, namely adam schiff, katie porter and barbara lee. some say this appointment will open the gates for butler's name to be thrown in the mix. butler will become the first openly gay u.s. senator from california and the second black woman to represent the state in the senate. butler is no stranger to the political world and her appointment is seen by some as a powerful one. the president of emily's list, butler has led the political action committee to raise money to help elect democratic female candidates who support abortion rights. butler has served as a union president for seiu local 2015, that union represents thousands of nursing homes and health care workers. >> this is a solid pick by the

governor. laphonza butler has impeccable credentials. she's well known in the state of california from her work with emily's list, her work on labor and campaigns in california. she's well respected up and down the state. i think she'll make a great representative. she'll represent california well in the senate. >> reporter: as the welcomes come in, the nation continues to bid farewell to the longest serving woman in u.s. senate, senator senator dianne feinstein came home to the city she loved over the weekend. she will lie in state at san francisco city hall wednesday, which will be open to the public. then thursday, a funeral service will be held at the war memorial and performing arts center. that service, however, will not be open to the public. but it will be streamed online. now, this morning city hall will be open for those who want to come and pay their respects and pay tribute by signing condolence books. that will start at 10:00 this morning and will run until 4:00

in the afternoon. a lot going on here in san francisco. >> a lot going on, and, indeed, a deserving long farewell to the senator. ginger, thanks for that. we'll check back in with you in a bit. our coverage of senator feinstein's passing continues both on air and online. you can visit our website, nbcbayarea.com. you can also download our nbc bay area app. it is free. 6:35 right now. donald trump will be in a new york city courtroom today, where he'll be testifying in his own defense over charges he and the trump corporation lied to banks. scott mcgrew, the verdict on that is already in. >> that's right, the ruling that trump, his sons, his company defrauded banks has already been made by a judge. judges get to rule on accusations of conspiracy, falsifying business records and insurance fraud. the big question for the court today is really punishment. donald trump and his entourage

arrived at trump tower last night. the former president and his sons have denied any wrongdoing. a judge found the trumps lied to the banks by overestimating the value of their real estate holdings when applying for loans. the new york attorney general says trump overestimated his own wealth by more than $3.5 billion. now, this is a civil trial. trump is not in danger of going to jail the way he is in the other four criminal cases. but he's very much in danger of losing control of his company. new york state could take away trump's licenses to do business in the state. he could even be forced to give up the trump tower. among those people expected to testify, trump's own former attorney, michael cohen, who was one of the first to level accusation that trump lies about real estate holdings when he testified before congress in 2019. trump's children will also testify, including ivanka trump.

the purpose of his daughter's testimony is a bit unclear. she was not part of the trump company, but she's named as a prosecution or plaintiff witness. that may not be voluntary. we don't expect donald trump to testify today. the hearing is scheduled for 11 weeks. but, laura, he said very much that he wanted to show up on the first day. >> a busy week for the former president. thank you very much. 6:37 right now. new findings indicate that many people in the bay area are steering clear of downtown. the bay area news group and joint venture silicon valley conducted a survey. 83% of respondents say they've never or rarely visited downtown oakland over the past year. 79% said the same of downtown san jose. when it comes to downtown san francisco, it's at 70%. crime, traffic and wildfires are cited among concerns of why people are avoiding the areas. a massive search effort at port reyes national seashore has

come up empty handed so far. a shark attack was reported to the coast guard just before 11:00 yesterday morning at wildcat beach. it is a remote part of the park in west marin county that's only accessible by walking five miles from one of two trail heads. a witness reported seeing a shark attacking three people. two were able to make it back to shore, but the third remains missing. kaiser workers are planning to strike this week. it would be the biggest health care strike in u.s. history. 75,000 kaiser permanente health care workers are set for the three-day strike. it would begin wednesday. doctors and nurses are not striking. workers, including medical assistants, call center employees, and emergency department technicians would be picketing. they say they have faced staffing issues and have been asked to do double the work. kaiser says it has hired thousands of workers already to address that staffing issue, and that if the workers do decide to

strike, its hospitals will stay open. but some non-urgent appointments will be rescheduled. >> we're calling kaiser executives to bargain in good faith and to fix our short staffing. >> so we will continue to follow that and we will let you know what happens as that strike is set to begin on wednesday. san francisco's fleet week is moving forward full steam ahead. yesterday the first navy ships arrived at the embarcadero. a navy destroyer is expected to come later today. on wednesday, the public will be able to take tours on board. on friday, the parade of ships will pass under the golden gate bridge, and the highly anticipated blue angels will take to the skies. the air show will continue saturday and sunday as well. this year organizers say the event will pay tribute to the late senator, dianne feinstein. >> during the air show this weekend, the patriots jet team is going to be performing a

missing woman formation in honor of her legacy and her dedication to fleet week and to the entire area and the state of california. >> a fitting tribute, because feinstein led the start of the fleet week tradition when she was mayor back in 1981. for information about when to see the blue angels, to when you can take tours, we posted everything you need to know about fleet week on our website. head to nbcbayarea.com and click the link in the trending bar. we're hoping the weather is going to cooperate as well. >> it's going to be a great week, but a lot of changes. we look for the air show during the weekend, if the sky is going to be clear. we are already seeing some clouds rolling by the city as of right now, and we are going to eventually work our way toward sunshine. a partly cloudy day today with temperatures starting out in the upper 50s, and only reaching into the upper 60s. you may keep the jacket on

today. for the inland areas, nice and mild with upper 70s, dublin reaching 77, napa headed for 75, and also 75 in san mateo. starting tomorrow, the temperatures will be ramping up several degrees and we'll see some low to mid-80s for parts of the north bay and the inland east bay, down to the south county. we'll talk about more changes ahead. mike, you're tracking a shift in delays. >> so now we have the big backup at the bay bridge. this is due in part because traffic let loose through richmond. we had a major crash, there were some injuries, and everything has cleared. the eastshore freeway now just spreading out all the traffic that was built up there. typical builds for the rest of the bay, including walnut creek, now slowing. it looks like there may be a crash near the walnut creek interchange, south 680. we'll see the impact of that. west 24 shows slowing toward lafayette. south 680, we see recovery after the two crashes cleared for this

stretch of the roadway in the tri-valley, south 680 will now send a lot more traffic down toward fremont and mission boulevard. of course, some folks crossing over to the nimitz. tonight you can't cross under the water here, the webster tube will be closed tonight, tomorrow night and wednesday night. you're going to have to use the bridges over the water if you want to get from oakland to alameda. locals know about the maintenance that's scheduled. south 101 did clear, the northbound side will have a closure in a couple of weekends. of course, we'll remind you. back to you. >> thanks so much. just shy of 6:43 right now. and gabe kepler, coming up next, the response from the giants coach who was fired from the job. and it is the most wonderful time of the year, at least, almost. almost. my sons tell me 85

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?

good monday morning to you. it is 6:45. let's take a live look outside in oakland. it's a busy start to the day and mostly cloudy, with cool temperatures. grab that jacket before you head out the door. we're only in the low 50s and warming up to the low 70s today. a look at all of our microclimates coming up. the san mateo bridge, what we expect to see is happening. the westbound commute builds in volume and now there's slowing across the flat section. brakes being tapped right now as

volume builds. we'll see more traffic heading to the peninsula, but it's at speed for 101 and 280 along that stretch. >> thanks, mike and kari. we are talking about the federal government, actually open for bids on this monday. >> scott mcgrew joins us. a shocker for a lot of people after republicans and democrats made this deal late saturday. >> bipartisanship. it's how things get done in washington. some people, frankly, had forgotten that. president biden speaking about the continuing resolution, which keeps the government open for another 45 days. now, that's not a great solution. it doesn't solve any of the arguments over spending, but at least it means the government workers will get paid and the doors to government will stay open. you recall there was a group of about 20 republicans who kept voting spending bills down, forcing republican speaker of the house kevin mccarthy to turn to democrats for the continuing

resolution. now, as you might imagine, that made the 20 ultra conservatives furious. they are planning to vote to kick mccarthy out of the speaker's position. but he says somebody had to be the adult in the room. >> are you worried about they'll try to remove you? >> you know what, if somebody wants to remove, because i want to be the adult in the room, go ahead and try. but i think this country is too important. >> you could really fairly say that political pundits didn't give mccarthy enough credit. forced between choosing between his office as speaker and the country, a lot of people thought he would pick the office. he picked the country. bipartisanship is, after all, what keeps washington working, even if the conservative republicans in the house had convinced their colleagues to come up with some sort of spending bill, it would never have gotten past the senate, which is majority democrats. the house has got to give the senate something it can accept, and vice-versa, the senate has

to give the house something. critically missing is any mention of money for ukraine. it was left out to speed up the vote and dampen arguments. but president biden wants congress to vote for more money as soon as possible. now, most republicans and democrats support money to ukraine. some in congress argue we should spend more money on our own border before we spend money to defend ukraine's border. video of refugees crossing into eagle pass, texas, to present themselves to u.s. authorities. a reminder, that's how our immigration and border laws are set up. the people turning themselves in to border patrol are doing it the way congress prescribed it. congress makes up immigration rules. it's up to congress to change them. last major change to u.s. immigration law was in 1986. a lot going on today. the u.s. supreme court returns to the bench to hear arguments, one of the biggies will be abortion medication. there's another about the future of the consumer financial

protection bureau. and we were just talking about donald trump's return to court today in new york. he has arrived, as a judge decides the civil punishment for trump for what the court says was his company's decades of fraud against banks. >> thank you, scott. we have new developments locally. former giants manager, gabe kapler, has released a statement about his unexpected firing, and he's thanking the team. on friday, as you likely heard by now, giants let go of kapler. he was hired back at the end of 2019, and in 2021 he was named national league manager of the year. after a less than successful 2023 season, and the last two as well, the team parted ways with the gm. he released a statement over the weekend on his social saying in part, quote, we didn't win enough to satisfy me or the fans. that sucks.

but each morning and late night riding my bike to north beach, i feel like i have the support of so many in the city. he added, quote, i have a ton more to say. i'll do that over the course of time. downtown ice is coming back to san jose for the holidays. organizers announced the rink is returning to the holiday lineup in san jose this year. construction starts later this morning. last year, the space became a roller rink when the previous ice rink producer did not renew. a lot of folks weren't too happy about it. this year, starting november 17th, people can go ice-skating downtown in the circle of palms plaza. hopefully it won't be too warm. i went one year with the kids, and there were a lot of puddles. >> talk to the person in charge of the ice, it's very tough. >> it is, to keep it cold. one great thing, hot chocolate there. >> there's something magical about ice-skating. >> i can't believe we're talking about the holidays.

so first week in october, and we have some very october-like weather that's going to be coming in. it was nice to get some cool temperatures over the weekend. that was a taste of fall. but we're about to head back to summer, and it's going to be warm and dry this week. we also, quite often, see those dry october offshore winds, those diablo winds picking up, as temperatures reach into the 80s and 90s. fuel could be drying out, that's vegetation on the hills. that means if we have any sparks or anything that could start a fire, it could spread quickly, especially as we head toward the end of the week. it does stay warm into next weekend. we're looking at temperatures for today reaching into the upper 70s for highs. for the south bay, it's going to feel very much like it did over the weekend, maybe just a touch warmer with the lack of cloud cover and rain. tomorrow it starts to heat up. take a look at concord. 87 degrees there. we're going to see some low to mid-80s for much of the north

bay. san francisco reaching 75, and even warmer on wednesday, even the coastline starts to heat up. once again, that's very typical of october. the storm track remaining well to the north of us, so we're going to see some high pressure building, hot temperatures. but it looks like we will get a chance of rain for next week. but this week we'll have to watch out for those very warm temperatures and the fire danger, and we can see here on our inland temperatures how hot it gets by the end of the week. some of us will reach into the mid to upper 90s by friday. the weekend is slightly cooler, while san francisco will see temperatures here also reaching into the 80s. mike, is it still jammed through the tri-valley? >> it is. even though the crashes cleared south 680, there were two separate crashes, a number of vehicles. they did clear, but it wasn't in time for the morning commute to avoid the big backup. the volume really built as the crashes were clearing.

the northbound routes, of course, are pushing through. slow on the san mateo bridge and typical spots in the east bay. happening now, b.a.r.t. has a new police chief. the transit agency naming kevin franklin as its top cop. he served as b.a.r.t.'s interim police chief since may and began his law enforcement career with the oakland police department. b.a.r.t. says he plans to focus on increasing the department's presence on the transit system and recruiting more officers. 6:53. up next, a quick look at the top stories we're following, including new overnight, a deadly shooting investigation now under way in the east bay. we'll tell you what the police are revealing. plus, california's next u.s. senator has been chosen. what we know about who will fill dianne feinstein's seat. coming up on "today," we're launching into pink power month with martina natratilova. she'll join us about shining the

light on the importance of early
