right now at 5:00, heading home. hamas releases more hostages. we're live in washington with overnight developments in what may well be the final day of the

temporary cease-fire in gaza. san francisco street vendors are fighting back. the new action they plan to take today with a new ban set to take effect in the mission district. also, coastal flood areas bracing for possible flooding. our meteorologist kari hall tracking the timetable for extreme high tides and the chilly start to the morning. this is "today in the bay." good monday morning to you. thank you for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm ginger conejero saab. marcus washington is off. happy monday. happy monday, after that holiday weekend. just like laura was just saying, we're going to take a look at that chilly start today with meteorologist kari hall. >> we're all feeling it this morning. it is a very chilly start. we've had the past couple of mornings feeling like this, and we do have the frost advisory for the north bay continuing and the freeze warning for solano

county, as well as parts of northern lake county still under this frost advisory and the freeze warning until 9:00. so we're going to have the very chilly temperatures continuing to settle in. and right now we're at 31 in santa rosa. it is 32 in sonoma. we're even seeing freezing temperatures in dublin. we are just one degree above freezing in livermore. it is 40 in san jose. after this cold start, take a look at our afternoon highs, reaching into the low 60s for the interior east bay. some mid-60s up and down the peninsula from mountain view to san mateo. 64 in san francisco. mike, you have a couple of incidents off of highway 24. >> the big look shows you no real problems. we have traffic coming out of the altamont pass, so we have a commute that's already started. just off 24 at 680, just off the walnut creek interchange, a hazard on the shoulder now, disabled vehicle. not a problem. this is highway 24 westbound as you're approaching the lafayette

exit, we have a car that's gone off of the roadway. there will be activity on the roadside and we're watching for that. no slowing or lanes blocked. but a car just down the hillside. the rest of the bay shows a smooth drive toward the bay bridge. >> thanks a lot, mike. we begin with a live look at the gaza/squaly border. they're in the final hours of the cease-fire. president joe biden pushing for a pause in fighting to be extended. an extension could see more hostages released from gaza in exchange for palestinian prisoners. in the latest round of releases, 17 were let go by hamas, including a 4-year-old american girl. in exchange, officials say israel released 39 palestinian prisoners, all of whom are minors. "today in the bay"'s brie jackson is live in washington, and, brie, this is certainly a relief for some of those families, while other families are still in agony waiting for their loved ones to come home.

>> reporter: that's right. good morning, ginger. so president biden said he is hopeful that more americans will be released in today's exchange, and the president is encouraging an extension in the four-day cease-fire agreement between israel and hamas. this 4-year-old is the first american citizen freed by hamas. the israeli government says this video shows some of the 16 others freed sunday. emotional homecomings for families who have waited more than 50 days for their release. >> such a relief to see them smiling and reunited. it's overwhelming. we're all walking around with this brick on our chest for so long. >> reporter: president biden expressing his relief, while pushing for more hostages to come home. >> we continue to press and expect additional americans will be released as well. we will not stop working until every hostage is returned to their loved ones.

>> reporter: humanitarian aid continues to flow into gaza under the protection of the four-day pause in fighting, a deal set to end today. the biden administration is pushing to extend it. >> hamas is going to make the decision about whether they're prepared to release another ten hostages. israel has put its cards on the table. they're prepared to extend the pause in fighting. the ball is in hamas' court. >> reporter: on capitol hill, the battle over aid continues. >> it will be difficult to get it done by the end of the year. the impediment is the white house policy on the southern border. >> reporter: for now, families are grateful to be reuniting with their loved ones and hopeful others held captive return home soon. the israeli government has warned that it is prepared for the next phase of the war once the pause in fighting ends, ginger. >> thanks a lot, brie. former first lady rosalynn carter will be laid to rest this

week. ceremonies begin today. the former first lady will be taken to the jimmy carter presidential library where she will lie in repose. tomorrow the carter motorcade will move to glenn memorial church. the funeral service will be held on wednesday in georgia. president joe biden and the first lady will attend that service. happening today, san francisco sidewalks will probably look a little different, at least in one neighborhood. that's because a ban on street vending takes effect. >> "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez joins us to explain the conflict and this ongoing pushback. >> reporter: so this is an ordinance we've been talking about for a while, the street vending ordinance will be in force today in an effort to crack down on people selling without a permit or selling stolen goods. but other vendors are getting caught in the middle, the ones that do have the permits. and they say supervisor hillary ronen, who represents the mission, just won't listen. ronan launched the ban after

reports of public works crews being threatened or assaulted for trying to enforce city rules. more than 100 permitted vendors who are organized as an association had their spokesperson talk with us. they say they understand the complaint but the ban is overreaching. >> everybody wants to be able to walk safely. this is not a mission problem, it is a problem throughout the country and every major city and it is not fair to punch down on people who you think don't have the ability to defend themselves. >> reporter: so about 40 vendors will be able to operate spaces rented by the city. this is an abandoned furniture store. others say they're going to brave the streets today. those who do can so their merchandise confiscated. the ordinance does not allow for them to be arrested. the mission vendors association says they have consulted with an attorney and they are looking to see what their options are in terms of this ban. but it's hard for people trying to make a living, but at the same time you can't have people assaulting city workers. >> not right at all.

thank you. authorities on the peninsula have not yet named the 54-year-old man and his 5-year-old granddaughter who died tragically over the weekend when they were swept out to sea. it happened saturday at martin's beach south of half moon bay. rescuers did manage to pull the girl from the water, but sadly, she did not survive. teams called off the search for her grandfather yesterday. happening today, a man accused in the grisly murder of his grandmother in the north bay is due in court for a plea hearing. the 23-year-old, luis lopez, is being held without bail. a little more than three weeks ago investigators say he killed his 64-year-old grandmother at her home in santa rosa, and then left with her head. a few days later, authorities arrested him in san francisco on. on the same day, police located her head on the banks of santa rosa creek near downtown. investigators say the killing was targeted. lopez has not entered a plea.

today a summit focused on improving bay area transit is set to get under way. state lawmakers will meet with leaders from various agencies to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to bay area transit. a state senate committee chaired by san francisco's scott wiener is organizing the summit. it will include a host of other local state senators. topics will include fiscal projections and funding needs, with some transit agencies advancing toward a so-called fiscal cliff. now to a very dark live look along the coast in tiburon. the national weather service is warning about possible coastal flooding along the immediate coast and bayfront through tomorrow. low-lying areas are most susceptible. the high tide this morning happens at 10:30. tomorrow it's happening a little after 11:00 a.m. meteorologist kari hall is tracking all of the areas where that flooding is possible. kari, how is it looking for us?

>> you know, the typical areas in the north bay, marin, the park and ride there, that's, of course, under water. and we're going to see that as we go through the late morning hours. right now we are still watching for the possible flood advisory, the astronomical tide is the reason we see that. we are going to see that more in january and february once the sun is at the closest point to the earth and the moon is at the closest point, so the gravitational pull from the sun and move makes the tides come farther inland and low-lying areas along the bay shore, some of those trails will be affected going into the morning. temperature-wise, we're headed for the mid-60s today, with sunshine. we'll talk about who changes t coming up. mike, are you seeing gas prices going up and down? >> down in key spots. we have a low, $3.99, below 4

bucks, costco on coleman avenue in santa clara. there's also a costco on lawrence station in sunnyvale, also $3.99. if you've got a friend with a costco card, they can get you a gift card. hayward, $4.01 at valero on hesperian, and in the north bay, $4.43, arco on redwood highway. that is the best in that county. we're looking at a smooth flow of traffic. we talked about the issues off of highway 24. still no lanes blocked. we're looking at the north bay, highway 37 there's a disabled vehicle just past highway 121 for westbound 37. drive, vasco road, still at 17 minutes. very light drive. we see that build for 580 out of the altamont pass, so there's traffic coming. we'll see how long it takes to get there. >> thank you, mike. it is 5:11. bracing for higher costs at the post office. shipping prices will soon be getting higher at the u.s. postal service. coming up next, we break down

the new prices and when it takes effect. maybe you're sending something you bought on black friday or small business saturday. today shipping is probably free. it's cyber monday. we'll take a look coming up. and one of the most popular dictionaries is definitely keeping it real with its word of the year. coming up, we'll try to use some of the widest used words and maintain our riz in the process.

good monday morning. the time is 5:14. we're getting a look at our planner in concord. it starts out in the upper 30s. it is a cold morning and mostly sunny. but our temperature trend takes us into the low 60s again today. we are watching out for rain for midweek. more on that in the full microclimate forecast coming up. taillights westbound, no problem heading to the peninsula. we'll track the build as it comes from the east bay. a little slowing, we'll show you where coming up. good morning. very happy monday to you, cyber monday. retailers would like to remind you of that. wall street, meantime, having a winning week again last week. that's four weeks in a row. we'll get readings on consumer confidence and inflation later this week. bytedance laying off some employees, actually still hiring in san jose for its tiktok app. but a foray into video games did

not go well. reuters, the first to report that. it's the first monday after thanksgiving, and a very, very long time ago people didn't have computers at home, so they would come to work today and log on to brand new services like amazon to buy christmas presents and cyber monday was born, and retailers ran with it. ahead on the "today" show, a look at the numbers. >> the five hours between 6:00 to 11:00 p.m., that's when we see spend velocity take off and we're expecting about $4 billion in spend just between those five hours. >> a tiktok video making the rounds of someone peeking behind the black friday prices at a big box retailer to see how much they're saving, and as you can see, as she pulls out the right, it's the exact same price. i think we suspected that. each year we pick a group of gifts, a bit at random, things that i might buy and give this

holiday season. then we track those prices through the season to see if they change. i've got an update. a dyson hair dryer on amazon, walmart has a frigidaire icemaker with fun ice, macy's is selling a 5 quart mixer and we're following specific skus so we're following apples to apples. toys"r"us, the barbie dream house. they've never been that price. the price cuts you're seeing right here on pre black friday, and then they did not change on black friday. now, to be fair, these are four items in a sea of items, but, of course, you're not buying a sea of items. you're buying a very specific gift. so we'll continue to track these prices. what we have found in the past is some of them will get actually much cheaper as we get much closer.

>> so you're going to the same retailer every single time? >> yeah, so in the case of the frigidaire, it's at macy's. not the lowest price i can find anywhere. >> i like to look for the lowest price. >> of course. >> but at the end of this we'll know if this all really -- >> on these four items. honestly, that would drive an economist crazy. they hate when we do turkey dinner is cheaper this year because it's a terrible measure of inflation. you're looking at very specific things. but we only buy specific things. we don't buy everything. most of us. >> thanks, scott. a heads-up for anyone planning to ship items through the postal service. after the holidays, new rates for u.s. postal service will go into effect on january 21st. now, the cost for ground advantage, priority mail and priority mail express will all go up by about 5%. the usps is also considering

price adjustments for p.o. box rentals, international mail, and other special services. and trending this morning, mw is out with their top word of 2023 and some might say they're keeping it real. >> the publisher picking authentic, due to a crisis of authenticity. it says looking up the word was boosted to new heights this year, given artificial intelligence, deepfakes online and elon musk urging world leaders to speak authentically in february. rizz also made the list. other words include x as in the social media site, and egot, performers awarded an emmy, grammy, oscar and tony. >> i did not know rizz. >> your kids aren't old enough. >> he was telling me about it. i was, like, you're so cool. >> i'm the old man. what's this word?

you've got to use the beginning or the end. >> and get off my lawn! >> that's my ball now. >> i love it. things to look forward to in the years to come. >> it will be different by then. >> absolutely. >> we won't use words. >> just nods. how is that weather going? >> all good. we're starting out cold this morning. it probably looks a little more like you're shivering or something. it is below freezing in parts of the north bay. we're at 31 in santa rosa and in sonoma. we're also below freezing in dublin right now. martinez checking in at 42 degrees, while san mateo is at 46. it is, once again, depending on where you are, a very chilly start this morning. and it's going to be a coolish day. we go in san jose from 44 degrees at 8:00 to 62 at noon, and then into the mid-60s later today, with a high of 68 degrees. so we're seeing some spots that

are going to be fairly comfortable, but you'll keep the jacket on throughout the day in livermore, as well as in concord, as we only make it up to 62 for an afternoon high. and temperature's temperatures are pretty much looking the same, as we go toward the middle of the week, on wednesday it's going to be even cooler. this is when rain is going to be arriving. we're dry much of the day tomorrow, except for the north bay. we may see rain coming in late tomorrow evening, and then we see more widespread hours throughout the morning on wednesday. then it looks to clear out by wednesday afternoon. this looks like a very quick one-and-done system before we get more chances of rain in the forecast going into the weekend and early next week. so we're looking at highs only reaching into the mid-60s today, and our morning temperatures, we're back down to the mid-30s for tonight, but a little milder for the rest of the week as clouds come in. north bay is seeing that rain for late tomorrow into wednesday, and then on thursday we're seeing the rain rolling out of here for, as of now, a

dry weekend as the rain stays just to our north. mike, you've been watching the commute this morning. anything popping up? we did have some slowing that suddenly showed up, and then quickly cleared. southbound 880 approaching 66. there's the over-crossing. chp did report a disabled vehicle, and apparently it's gotten to the shoulder before chp could even arrive. traffic flowing much better over the last minute. over the last five we saw some slowing southbound. doesn't really show up right here on the sensors. maybe we'll get some lag. we do still have activity off of highway 24 with the lafayette exit there, and also off of 680 just around monument. two issues not affecting the roadway. highway 37, also clear to the shoulder, but there is a crash out of the altamont pass where 205 and 580 merge. you see some distraction and slowing. back to you. next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> you can now text 911 for

good cyber monday morning. i'm ginger conejero saab. marcus washington is off. >> and i'm laura garcia. want to take a live look at the bay and tiburon this morning. the national weather service is warning about possible coastal flooding along the coast and the bayfront. for a closer look, let's check in with meteorologist kari hall, monitoring this and the chilly temperatures. >> we've got a lot going on, and we do have some changes ahead. we are watching for that possibility late morning with some tidal flooding, so if you didn't have any flooding the past few days, you won't have it today. this is in the low-lying areas where we do typically see flooding with king tides due to the gravitational pull of the moon. and this will happen later on this morning for half moon bay. it will be at about 9:30 this morning, in san francisco at about 10:28 will be the highest of the high tide, and in sausalito it will be at 10:38. this is for the bayshore, some

of the low-lying trails, some of those typical park and ride spots. this is the reason you may say, there's no rain in the forecast. this is because, once again, of the alignment of the earth and moon. as we get into january, there will be the king tides, so this is just kind of the start of that as we make it deeper into winter. but temperature-wise, it looks good today. just a little on the cool side. mike, you are monitoring the effects of the high tide. >> that's right, it's been in the traffic report. let's take you over, we're going to zoom in toward the manzanita parking lot. specifically the lower portions has been closed for about the last five days. they warned about high tides, kari has been talking about them. they wanted to make sure folks weren't caught off guard. that's still closed until the 29th, i believe, when they reopen that portion of the parking lot. we have typical slowing, predictable, highway 4.

highway 37, a little build for the commute. i am going to talk about the two incidents, actually the one in walnut creek for south 680, i think i found it on the camera. i'll show you that coming up. >> thanks a lot, mike. let's take a live look at the israeli/gaza border where it is about 7:30 p.m. and israel and hamas are in the final hours of a mutual cease-fire. it comes as hamas yesterday released 17 hostages, including a 4-year-old american girl. in exchange, israel released 39 palestinian prisoners, all of whom are reportedly minors. meanwhile, open leaders this afternoon are planning to hold a special session to debate a resolution calling for a permanent cease-fire. the city council's proposal also calls for the release of all hostages and unrestricted humanitarian aid to gaza. supporters claim the resolution does not include specifics or assign blame to either side. however, it points out how many children have been killed in the

conflict. dozens of people gathered last night at neighboring alameda city hall to call for a cease-fire. the mayor and other local leaders came out to show their support and called the four-day pause in fighting insufficient. >> what happens after the pause is over? more children will die, more families will be separated, more trauma will spread. >> one bay area jewish leader says he has mixed emotions over a potential permanent cease-fire. he says while he wants to see peace in the middle east, he's also concerned about the danger of hamas remaining. the world's richest man, elon musk, will meet with the families of some of those hostages in israel today. scott mcgrew continues our coverage this morning. musk will also meet with the president of israel as well. >> that's right, herzog. that's the number two man, the israeli government announcing that last night. benjamin netanyahu, of course,

the prime minister, musk has met with the prime minister, netanyahu, before. wouldn't be surprised if he does again today. we have not gotten new video out of israel, so this is in september. netanyahu's visit to the bay area, he asked musk to condemn all anti-semitism on his website or elsewhere. that ask from netanyahu, but musk responded with he was against all hate speech. but musk would go on, as you well know, to post on his x website support for an anti-semitic message. that, combined with a new study from media matters that there's anti-semitic, even pro-nazi content running near advertisers. had a lot of advertisers leaving x. so far, today's visit to israel, i think it's fair to consider it damage control. he's trying to control advertisers who are fleeing the site. you see this from "the new york times" this morning. airbnb, microsoft, coca-cola the

latest to go, worried about anti-semitism. the ceo musk appointed at x said shortly after musk's latest infamous tweet that discrimination should stop from everyone. she didn't name names. so he's in israel right now. i know you're monitoring that, touring a kibbutz where there was an absolute horrible slaughter. he hasn't posted anything to x just yet, except the words actions speak louder than words. but, laura, his words do influence people, and they've been very hurtful to israel. so this is obviously an important first step, but i think you also need to see this as pr and as damage control for advertising on x. >> right, which is money, and it's sad, too, because there's so many people involved, lives involved here. >> absolutely. >> thank you very much for the latest. happening today, two south bay parents charged in the fentanyl related death of their toddler are scheduled to appear

in court. they are facing murder charges. their 18-month-old daughter died at their home in august after investigators say she ingested fentanyl and methamphetamine ther parents knowingly left nearby. authorities arrested richardson last week. if convicted, the two could face 15 years to life in prison. critics fear the recent fda approval of an at-home testing kit for sexually transmitted diseases may backfire. two weeks ago regulators approved the test made by let's get checked. it can diagnose chlamydia and gonorrhea at home. other tests are already available over the counter but the fda has never vouched for their accuracy. some advocates fear if the fda makes regulatory approval a requirement, it could lead to fewer testing options and higher costs. they also point out it did not check for syphilis, which is

more predominant among gay and bisexual men. happening now, cyber monday sales are under way. americans are expected to spend a record amount of money this year. >> "today in the bay"'s bob redell joins us live from an amazon fulfillment center in richmond with how the company is working to keep up with demand. things are already moving there, bob. >> reporter: yeah, break time just happened for the workers here at this facility in richmond. we are expecting them to come back out on the floor. we've got jamie pope, who runs the facility. happy cyber monday. if you're not familiar, this facility is the only one of its kind in the bay area where they can do 24-hour delivery. you guys can actually -- run through the numbers here. 20 million items. >> this is a same-day capability, so literally from you going on your phone and clicking, we can offer product to your house and doorstep within three to five hours. i carry 100,000 items in this

facility, the highest selling items based on algorithms, and i have reach-back capability to our prime customers, about 20 million units. >> reporter: you said this past friday you guys set a record for this facility. what are you anticipating for today? talk about friday, talk about today. >> we'll probably do similar volume to what we did on black friday, and previous prime day we set a record, too, in terms of our volume. >> i want to show you guys some numbers from adobe analytics. today they are expecting for cyber monday $12 billion in sales, that is a 5.4% increase from over last year. back out here live, i guess i didn't realize this. this is truly a gig economy, because the people doing the deliveries are not in amazon trucks. >> that is correct. in terms of california, we hired on 30,000 seasonal employees, and here there are 100 to 150,

and every single one of our drivers here are the gig economy. you can be a flex driver today. all you have to do is go to the app and seek to be hired on and you can get trained and start delivering packages on your off time. >> reporter: i know you've geared up in terms of head count. how do you know how many people to hire? how do you know what the demand is going to be like? do you have special ai or you're kind of guessing? >> basically we look at what the customer is buying, we also have fixed permanent employees and then flex employees. so as demand surges, we pull employees into the building, and then seasonal, we always know we're going to heat our peak volumes. >> reporter: what is interesting, we've been here since around 4:00 this morning. you said 3:00 a.m., this was grand central. >> 3:00 a.m., pretty much every cart in this facility and outside in the parking lot were full. we're talking about 500 routes for 500 drivers. >> reporter: those were people

ordering right before they went night-night last night. >> we offer five what we call critical full-times a day to deliver to our customers. you can go online and order. you were looking at a 10:00 a.m. delivery and it was 5:00 when you were here. that means it was going to be picked and packed right here on the floor, come down this conveyor within ten minutes, go right into the cart. and then a flex driver will walk up to one of these carts, just like this flex driver right here. they'll pick up a cart, take it out, put it in his car and start delivering within three to five hours. >> you don't look stressed at all, seriously. you're calm, cool and collected for someone with this massive operation going on. >> we prepare all year long. thank you. >> reporter: all right, guys. >> that is fascinating to hear how it all works, it all comes together. >> and in such a short amount of time. >> it's all automated. i hear when you put something in your cart, it's already automatically kind of putting it on standby so it can possibly be

delivered. >> well, both gentlemen not looking stressed this morning, bob and jamie. >> bob has this thing down. >> thanks a lot. it's nice to know other people are up at 3:00 a.m., too. >> not a lot in san francisco, it seems a little dark, still. you're taking a live look at san francisco where holiday cheer will be on full display tonight. mayor london breed is among those scheduled to participate in tonight's castro tree lighting. this is video from last year's event. the annual event gets under way at 6:00 tonight at the bank of america plaza at castro and 18th street. >> 'tis the season. who has their tree up? >> i do. >> i do, too. >> we have ours ready to be put up. >> perfect. >> same, mike. [ laughter ] it's going to be a really nice night, but very chilly out there. you want to make sure you're bundled up in layers for that tree lighting or whatever you're doing today, because we're seeing our morning starting out at 46 degrees at 8:00.

at noon, it is partly cloudy and 59 degrees, and right in time to light up the tree it will be 57 degrees, the temperatures already start to drop. we're looking at a high of 62 in martinez and concord, as well as dublin, and 68 degrees in san jose. morgan hill reaching 68 degrees and mid-60s for much of the peninsula, san mateo, san francisco reaching 64 degrees. there's not much of a change in our temperatures tomorrow, but we'll start to see clouds coming in. and on wednesday when we have rain moving through parts of the bay area, most of us will stay in the 50s. so get ready for even cooler temperatures. we'll talk more about that coming up. mike, you were looking at something on the walnut creek camera. >> yeah, lights. we put our lights up yesterday. that's what we accomplished. over here, these lights, we don't want to see these. flashing lights south 680. this is the crash we've been reporting. everybody is streaming by just fine, but it's right at the

split with 680 and 24. that is right there at the walnut creek interchange, giving you an idea of where our camera is. no one is injured. the crash still has a truck that needs a tow truck to arrive. they've called four agencies and no one is there just yet. there's the build, highway 4 through concord. over here, highway 37 at muir island. slowing west 80. the build at the toll plaza, we saw on the map there was slowing into san francisco. looks like maybe a disabled vehicle just near the fremont exit. we're looking at the buildup. they may have slowed the metering lights down. that's not good timing. hopefully they can clear that quickly from the city and that will hopefully give us enough time for recovery. we're looking at the rest of the bay, slowing through hayward for the nimitz. a new incident in sunol, south 680. it looks like it's slowing toward 84. we'll give it a few minutes for the report to come in from chp. we predicted that the game will have people walking around the area for s.a.p. center tonight,

and a note, caltrain, there's no train 146 this week. they've got a bus bridge in place. back to you. >> thanks a lot, mike. younger homeowners improvising when it comes to making it in the bay. some of them now have their own term for it. still ahead, the growing home hacking trend to help absorb higher cos of living. higher cos of living. ts

good monday morning. it is 5:47. let's get a look at brentwood, starting out with temperatures in the 30s. it is a cold morning and we're seeing highs only reach 60 degrees, so make sure you're dressing in layers today. we'll get a look ahead to when we get rain in the microclimate forecast coming up. i need to make sure this is clear. we don't have train 146 between san jose sjoridon and tamien stations. new this morning, younger generations may have found a hack to make home ownership a reality amid this tough housing market. a new zillow reports finds more than half of millennial and gen-z buyers say house hacking or renting out a portion of your home is an extremely important opportunity. the strategy is aimed at offsetting housing costs. the current average interest rate for a 30-year mortgage hit

8% in october. redfin finds the median price for a house in the u.s. was up 3.5% from a year ago, and nearly $414,000. of course, it's much higher in the bay area. president joe biden will announce new ways to protect the supply chain today. scott mcgrew joins us now. a recent study from the san francisco fed said it was problems with the supply chain that was most to blame for last year's massive inflation. >> yeah, the white house likes this idea, laura, because it takes a majority of the blame off government spending and puts it on the supply chain. you really don't have to be a fed governor to have figured out a lot of those problems, getting products into the country was going to drive up prices. supply and demand is the first thing, after all, they reach to high school economics. the president today will announce a cabinet level supply chain commission that will regularly report the health of the supply chain, the way the defense department regularly reports the readiness of u.s.

forces. the big focus today is going to be on the supply of drugs and pharmaceuticals. the white house praising, by the way, a cease-fire, an extension of the cease-fire in israel. it says it continues to monitor the release of hostages by hamas. here is the president over the weekend as an israeli-american child was set free. >> abigail was among 13 hostages released today from gaza under the brokered and sustained, though intensive u.s. diplomacy. she's now safely in israel and we continue to press and expect for additional americans who will be released as well. we will not stop working until every hostage is returned to their loved ones. congress returns from its long weekend tomorrow. it could vote to oust new york congressman george santos as soon as this week. the house ethics committee says santos used money from donors for expensive clothing boutiques, among other

violations. he faces serious criminal charges as well. >> and pretend like none of us know what's going on, this [ bleep ] happens every single week. where are the ethics vest gagdss? >> the biggest task for congress, funding the government. we're always saying they need to fund government. when congress pulls us back from the brink, it leaves us awfully close to that brink. on a happier note, the white house has released the first pictures of the new christmas decorations. the first lady will show it off in a big tour later today. the theme is magic, wonder and joy of the holidays. now, a fair question as we struggle to find the government, is who pays for it, and the answer is it's complicated. the white house is partly run by the park service, which buys the trees, for instance. the white house has a budget from congress to run the facility, that's tax money. and, ginger, private donations as well. >> magic, joy and complications.

thanks a lot, scott. heads-up for cyclists and pedestrians planning to use a portion of the san francisco bay trail today. you may need to make alternate plans. part of the trail will be closed beginning today in a section in redwood city. the trail will be closed between bear island road and twin dolphin drive from 7:00 this morning until 4:00 this afternoon. caltrans crews are shutting down that part of the trail so they can work on replacing an old bridge. it was built in the 1930s and needs repairs. good time to do it, possibly. i don't know, will the weather be good for people doing repairs? >> it's just about the temperatures, and of course that doesn't really affect people working. you just have to make sure that you're dressed appropriately for it. we're starting out this morning with a live look at christmas in the park in san jose, beautiful tree all lit up, and the temperatures definitely make it feel like the season. it's at 40 degrees in san jose, 31 in dublin. some of us starting out below

freezing. vacaville, the coldest temperature on this map, 27 degrees right now. but at least we do have a mild day ahead, with our highs reaching into the mid to upper 60s, and a few low 70s. we'll see 70 in gilroy today. in mountain view, headed for 65 degrees, and 68 in san jose. and then we are all clear for much of today, but then tomorrow we'll start to see clouds coming in. the possibility of rain late tomorrow evening, moving into the coastline and the north bay. spotty showers on wednesday. then we'll be watching for additional rainfall. but what we're seeing for the middle of this week really isn't that much and we do need a lot more to catch up to normal, because it has been a dry start to our fall season. we're looking at parts of the santa cruz mountains between now and thursday getting about 1/2 inch of rain, much less in the valleys, maybe 0.1. looking ahead, there will be a couple more storm systems moving by. toward the middle of the week,

our weather staying unsettled, with storm systems mostly to our north. we're looking at an increase in cloud cover tomorrow evening and rain in the north bay late tomorrow night. spotty showers on wednesday into early thursday. it looks dry for now on friday, and then we're watching a nearby storm system for the weekend. but it does look like it will miss us and stay to the north, while we're seeing temperatures remaining only in the upper 50s and low 60s in san francisco. mike, it looks like it's starting to slow across the bay bridge. >> yeah, the entire span. we're looking at slowing and traffic building up. now, what's going on is the issue we saw in san francisco, it's off the bridge. it's closer toward i-80 and 101 where they sort of merge or split. we have that incident that just cleared from the blotter. it's all connected, the skyway, the bay bridge itself. there is a slower drive. we hope to see some recovery. everything else is looking predictable, but maybe lighter than a typical monday. happening now, vatican

doctors are updating us on the status of pope francis, who this morning canceled some scheduled meetings due to illness. the 87-year-old pope is suffering lung inflammation and experiencing breathing difficulties, but a ct scan has ruled out pneumonia. a spokesman says the pope has no fever and that his respiratory situation is improving. coming up next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> you can now text 911 for help. but you need to know how to next 911, so first responders can actually find you. i'm consumer

another one in the books. but we're just getting started. everything going well? oh yeah. let's take a look at this knee. because it's the work behind the scenes, that truly matters.

she found it. the feeling of finding the psoriasis treatment she's been looking for. sotyktu is the first-of-its-kind, once-daily pill for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis... for the chance at clear or almost clear skin. it's like the feeling of finding that outfit psoriasis tried to hide from you. or finding your swimsuit is ready for primetime. dad! once-daily sotyktu is proven to get more people clearer skin than the leading pill. don't take if you're allergic to sotyktu; serious reactions can occur. sotyktu can lower your ability to fight infections including tb. serious infections, cancers including lymphoma, muscle problems, and changes in certain labs have occurred. tell your doctor if you have an infection, liver or kidney problems, high triglycerides, or had a vaccine or plan to. sotyktu is a tyk2 inhibitor. tyk2 is part of the jak family.

for most of us it shouldn't be our primary way of seeking help. the fcc says always contact 911 by making a voice call if you can. here is why. texting 911 doesn't work everywhere. and even where it does work, there's often a gap. >> text to 911 doesn't always know where you are. >> recently my investigative unit colleague candice nguyen made national news exposing the text to 911 location limitations. if you have to text 911, let's look at how to properly do it so first responders can find you and help you. first, start a new text. type 911 in the to field. no dashes, no spaces. just 911. don't start a group text. now say whether you need police or paramedics and why. give your full address and cross street, or building location. plus, your location in the building. >> let's say 30 rock. 30 rock is a big building. what about the floor number, what about the room?

>> same if you're home. text specifics like i'm in the kitchen. don't use text speak like afaik or brb. the operator might not know what you mean. we hope you store this advice in the back of your mind and also hope you never have to use it. >> a quick reminder, you can watch nbc bay area news whenever you would like. we're on 24/7 on roku and other streaming platforms. there, you can watch live breaking news, news conferences, even repeats of our newscasts. it was such a relief to see them smiling and reunited. >> right now at 6:00, hostages freed. we are live in washington with a growing push to extend the cease-fire between israel and hamas, as negotiations to release more captives continues overnight. plus, san francisco street vendors fighting back. the action they plan to take today with a new ban set to take effect in the mission district.
