crime. new details behind governor gavin newsom's landmark legislation, set to be announced today in the south bay. democratic presidential nominee kamala harris set to unveil her economic plan. this as former president trump tries to blame her for inflation. we're live in washington with the latest twist in the race for the white house you know, this could happen at

any time, at any place to any kid preventing tragedies. the new measures one school district is taking before student athletes ever take to the field. this is today in the bay. and this is friday morning. good morning to you on this friday. i love saying it more than i can tell. this is friday. welcome to friday. hello, friday. did you know it was friday friday? friday afternoons? pretty good too for us. there is no mistaking today. my name is marcus. friday, washington. it might be that on monday, too. all right, let's check this friday forecast with kari. it looks great too. it's a nice one. we're starting out with sunshine, and it's all clear across much of the bay area. that's a look at dublin. and it's nice. sure is. all right so let's get a look at our temperature trend for today. we're going to start out with some mid 60s at 9:00. and as we

go into the afternoon we do have some upper 70s. we'll reach a high there of 84 degrees and up to 80 in san jose, san martin still pretty hot, reaching 90 degrees and 93 in fairfield. we will get a look ahead to the weekend forecast and what else is going on. and mike, you were tracking some early slowing in san jose. yeah it was a little bit early for a friday i guess it was. it was right on time for the early slowing. let me clarify. but it was more than we'd seen on most fridays over the summertime. so i was watching for a building of the volume right now, we still see the tail end of that right around oakland road, but it's going to ease off. we'll watch over the next hour to see how much of a volume build there is, to see the pattern for the south bay. there is a crash in cupertino not presenting a problem for highway 85. keep my eyes on the reports there. northbound 880. we do have a crash as well. coming up just past decoto, but it's not a major problem in through newark. looks like a smooth drive. the tri-valley a nice flow of traffic and getting over toward the bay bridge. everything seems

fine slowing on the incline as we lose the lanes. highway 37 highway 4 has been pretty mild after an early start there, so again things calm down through contra costa county and we're holding steady with a very gradual build. most of the traffic is off. 880 in the overcrossing. back to you. thank you very much, mike. governor gavin newsom will be in san jose today to sign what he calls landmark legislation to combat retail crime in july. he says california's organized retail crime task force arrested 167 suspects, doubling the amount of arrests made in june since january, the task force has made 884 arrests and $7.2 million worth of stolen goods have been recovered. several bay area law enforcement agencies received a total of nearly $75 million to combat retail theft. san francisco mayor london breed refocusing the city's response to the homeless crisis in the wake of new data about who makes up the city's unhoused population. that new data is revealed in the city's new point

in time count report. it was released earlier this week. it finds the most common reason for becoming homeless is losing a job, followed by drug and alcohol use. the survey also reveals a larger percentage of the unhoused are not from san francisco. now 41%, up from 29% in 2022. mayor breed says she means business when it comes to getting the message out. san francisco is shifting its policies and will no longer hesitate to bus people back to their hometowns. we always get a huge influx during the month of june. we know weather plays a role in why people are choosing to come to san francisco, so we want to make sure that we make it very clear that we are at our capacity. we are providing services for a lot of people, but we can't continue to expect any change unless we're willing to cut off the supply. she also says the city has increased its shelter capacity by 60%, and in

the process of clearing encampments, the city is working to revitalize downtown neighborhoods. new overnight at least ten service members are hurt following a training incident at the naval station in fallon, nevada. that's about an hour outside of reno, and according to officials, there was a hard landing involving a helicopter. those victims were transported to the hospital by black hawk helicopters. the condition of those injured service members not yet available. well, now we turn to decision 2024 and vice president kamala harris expected to roll out her economic plan today. harris and president joe biden are actually trying to woo voters in a critical swing state. the pair yesterday participated in what was billed as an official white house even, but sounded more like a campaign rally. meanwhile former president trump is painting a dark picture for the future if he is not elected in november. today in the bay's alice barr joining us live this morning from washington. as harris has

that big rollout today. and marcus, one key thing to watch for is how closely vice president harris looks to tie herself to president biden's economic agenda, or where she tries to set herself apart. given a lot of americans out there are frustrated with the state of the economy. vice president kamala harris, traveling to north carolina today, a state she's hoping to put in play this november for a speech focused on her economic agenda. one day after holding her first joint event with president biden since she moved to the top of the ticket. she's going to make one hell of a president. the president and vice president announcing a major agreement with drug makers to lower prices on ten popular prescriptions under medicare. now, medicare can use that power to go toe to toe with big pharma and negotiate lower drug prices. the administration also celebrating inflation dropping to its lowest level since the

pandemic, but with high prices still frustrating americans, the vice president faces questions over how closely she'll align herself with president biden's economic vision, or chart her own path. former president trump tying the two together in a joint attack. you don't have to imagine what a kamala harris presidency would be, because you're living through that nightmare right now, and it is a nightmare. the former president also insisting he's entitled to personal attacks against vice president harris. i don't have a lot of respect for her. i don't have a lot of respect for her intelligence, and i think she'll be a terrible president. i mean, she's certainly attacks me personally. she actually called me weird. mr. trump's running mate, ohio senator jd vance, now set to square off against minnesota governor tim walz in the first vice presidential debate on october 1st. a little more than a month before the election. a campaign official

tells nbc news that vice president harris is set to roll out plans to help renters and to try to lower rents, as well as proposing a new child tax credit and also unveiling proposals to aim aim at curbing price gouging in the grocery and food industry. marcus. yeah, and those prices are getting so high when you go buy groceries now. all right. alice barr in washington this morning. alice thank you. and make sure you stay with nbc bay area all week long. our damian trujillo is going to bring you coverage from the democratic national convention in chicago. as kids head back to school, some student athletes will have a new requirement to make their teams. today in the bay's kris sanchez shows us the heart screenings that are giving parents and coaches some peace of mind. i'm going to put these stickers on this day. lee high school senior andrew bonomo is getting an ekg, a screening for sudden cardiac arrest or sca. his district campbell union requires it. they

can afford to because of the work of the kyle j. taylor foundation, which was created in honor of a former lee soccer player who died of sca in 2018. the foundation, created by his mom. his heart was muscle, was enlarged and that can be seen on a ekg. so absolutely, this could have identified it for him. sudden cardiac arrest is the number one killer of student athletes, and it's estimated that 1 in 3 young people has an undetected heart condition. as many as 2300 kids and teens suffer sca per year. nationwide, only 10% survive. this week will hit 7000 kids that we have screened since 2019, and we've identified about 65 with some heart related issues, some minor issues, some quite major issues. so it definitely is in in the back of your mind for sure. maybe even the front of your mind that, you know, this could happen at any time, at any place, to any kid in the los gatos saratoga school district. the statistics became all too real when a varsity football

player collapsed and died in 2008. the district wanted to require the heart screenings like this sooner, but could not afford the $20,000 cost. through fundraising, donations and volunteers, the kyle j. taylor foundation can screen the students for just $20 each in their first year. about 1000 los gatos and saratoga high schoolers will be screened. already, two students were flagged for further evaluation. if those are the only two we find this year, it was worth the time and the effort. but when we see, children at risk being identified, i don't think you can put a price tag or a value on that. it's, it could be life changing and life saving. kris sanchez. today in the bay all week long here on today in the bay, we've had your back to school coverage with issues affecting schools across the bay. if you missed any of it, catch up wherever you stream. nbc bay area streams 24/7 on roku, pluto and other platforms. here we go at 610 for you. this

morning, taking a live look out in walnut creek. the sunrise. just setting a beautiful picture for us on this friday. meteorologist kari hall, of course, has a look at what we can expect from those temperatures out there. looking pretty good, kari. yeah looks great again today. and the weather you had yesterday afternoon repeats today. so we're getting started in foster city with a look at the morning. and it's in the upper 50s and all clear with the calm wind. and we will gradually see those temperatures going up a couple of degrees each hour, eventually making it into the 70s for today with the wind picking up. and we may see some of those gusts at about 20 to 25mph. highs range from 64 in half moon bay to 84 in novato, 91 in clear lake and 93 in fairfield and san jose. it's still pretty comfortable, with a high of 80, but definitely hotter. as you drive down to the south county, you'll feel those temperatures rising, and you'll definitely have that experience as you're moving around the bay area today with a wide range in those temperatures. so take a look at our weekend forecast coming up.

but before you hit the road, mike has a look at lower gas prices. yeah. before you hit maybe a weekend trip for example, let's just check out best in the bay. 374 in san jose, it's platinum gas on tully road. next up we have contra costa county, 379 at clayton gas and wash on clayton road in the city of concord. now, if you're playing at home, i switched it up for you there. the north bay. we turn to vallejo with solano county's best. that's 389 at safeway on lincoln road west. so watch for those price changes and you make those updates as well on gasbuddy.com on the roadways. it's a smooth friday right now. there have been a little change for some of the patterns. very subtle change. nothing dramatic, but we did see a little early slowing on highway four. it stuck around a little longer. highway 37. now back to its typical friday there out of vallejo. the bay bridge where the arrow is at the bottom. there slowing on the incline. and just in the last three minutes, things have started to back up. scott at the bay bridge toll plaza. that's not a surprise for the toll plaza. all right, mike, well, coming up, the stock market

absolutely on fire. three wins in a row. let's go out to the future. i wouldn't be surprised to see a little bit of red. yeah, a little money coming off the table. but we'll still end the week with the besweek oft

we're taking a live look outside in san jose. we are in for a lot of sunshine as we go into the afternoon, and temperatures back

into the low 80s. it's going to be a repeat of yesterday, so if you like that, it continues and we'll take a look at some subtle changes in our weekend forecast coming up. and not so subtle in the last 30s i've seen these trucks arrive here on the right side of the right shoulder. the service area for the san mateo bridge appears to be a sign truck as well. i'm trying to figure out what's going on. i'll check reports for anything on the grid. nothing on the chp blotter. we'll let you know. but we do see some brake tapping already. well. good morning. very happy friday to you. stock market did so well yesterday. we're going to end up having one of the best weeks in years. nasdaq was up better than 2% in a single day. this good day came after a continued string of good news, including retail sales, showing american consumers still spending. the dow now 2000 points higher than it was during that market plunge monday. earlier this month, president trump warned the economy was headed to 1929. in a speech yesterday, a picture of his doom

and gloom predictions, accompanied by the dow over 40,000, made the rounds on social media yesterday. now that speech about the high cost of living for american families given out front of trump's private golf club was trump's second self-described economic speech in two days. this time, he surrounded himself with props and mr. trump had lots of facts and figures, but often not correct. take a listen. we had mortgage rates at around 2%, close to 2%, and they're now at 10%. and you can't get a mortgage. so that means it's a lot higher than 10%. i guess it is whatever, whatever they want to give over the money. and that's a lot more than 10%. so when you think about double, they've actually quadrupled or more than that. now as you know, mortgage rates are high, but they're not over 10%. the current ask for a 30 year fixed is under six and a half, the lowest they've been in 15 months. we're going to keep fact checking that speech. ahead in politics at 645. other news

galaxycon gets underway at san jose's convention center. among the highlights william shatner. captain kirk will be there sunday. he'll do a live narration of the movie star trek five the final frontier, which he directed back in the late 80s, sort of a live version of a dvd commentary track on stage. i got to speak to shatner the other day. captain kirk, a hero of mine. i think people my age watching star trek in repeats after school. kirk always did the right thing. he did it with humor and panache. of course, he could beat up dinosaurs and he always got the girl. but shatner hasn't always recognized i think, the power his character had over a generation. some fans would say he's been dismissive of it. i asked him about that. he said it took him decades to understand what he had done on the show. i realized i've missed a great deal, by my not shyness but self-consciousness of

looking at myself. so several actors i've read or heard about feel the same way about looking at themselves on screen. there's something like, you don't like the way you look, you don't like the way you sound, you know, and it's and it's it could interfere with your self-confidence. of appearing in front of a large number of people. if you don't feel good about yourself. so i've tried to avoid looking at myself on screen, and so i know less about star trek than you d. shatner will narrate his movie star trek five sunday afternoon at the san jose convention center. tickets to the convention and the screening, and you will need both galaxycon.com. you know, that's interesting because it it's hard to explain to a younger generation watching television. we had four channels, right? we all watched the same thing. we all watched the same thing. we had no choices. and so the $6 million man and star trek were very influential. i can't speak for women, but very influential on young boys my age. yeah, i

bet i thought you were going to say young people not being able to not look at themselves. well, god, they look because it is a whole different, you know, concept of a selfie was not there. yeah. you got to make sure you're lined up well right. yeah. yeah. it really interesting interview though. yeah. it was fun. glad you talked to bill. yeah. oh yeah. he wants he wants to be known as bill. we'll talk more about it at eight in our streaming newscast. longer interview. have a lot of fun. yeah definitely stick around for that. let's look at the forecast for this friday. a lot of activities always going on in the bay area. yeah, there are so many events going on this weekend and the weather is still cooperating, but there may be some changes going into tomorrow. but we're getting out the door and enjoying our friday where our temperature in union city starts out at 60 degrees. as we go throughout the day, it will go from low 60s to mid 60s at 10:00 and then into the 70s at 1:00 for this afternoon. it's once again back to the weather pattern and the same temperatures we've seen throughout the week. so in dublin we're in the low 80s and

still in the low 90s for concord and fairfield. vacaville reaching 92 degrees, and it will still be in the upper seconds for oakland to 80 degrees, 71 for san francisco and 89 in santa rosa. now tomorrow will feel a cool down. there will be more clouds coming in. it's going to be breezy and it's going to be slow to clear. and i think for some of the coastal areas, you'll start out the day with some mist and drizzle as a system drops down and it brings in that cool down that we'll see even in the inland valleys. and then by sunday, the sunshine returns. but we are going to see those temperatures only coming up a degree or two. so here's a look at the system dropping in that's going to bring in the cooler changes that we'll see. if you'll be traveling farther north. you may encounter some raindrops. and we're going to see that early tomorrow. and then lifting back north into the pacific northwest with that low coming in. but take a look at the changes in antioch and our high temperatures over the next several days. we're going from a

high in the 90s to today only low 80s, with clouds and breezy winds tomorrow. and then it starts to come back up. and if you are thinking, i wonder if we can just turn off the air conditioning for a while. nope. not yet. it's still going to be hot looking ahead, and we're going to see those temperatures in the 90s pretty widespread for the inland valleys, for the middle of next week. mike seems like it's still friday light out there. it is. yeah. you faked us out with those temperatures? ac not just yet. looking over here, looking at the san mateo bridge, we had an early start and it was a good volume. i was worried about an increase and we had problems. yesterday morning during the 5:00 hour. but right now things are very calm. it's friday, lighter here. saw some flashing lights arrive over on the right shoulder. there a crew of three caltrans trucks. they're slowly moving across the span, but because traffic is lighter, we're not really seeing any major disturbance. just a little brake tap as you pass by them. watch that over from the hayward side. a smooth drive throughout the rest of the bay area, with the backup filling in at the bay bridge toll plaza. back to you. thank you mike. 622

hunt for a wild card spot. currently sitting three and a half games back at the same time, the a's suddenly seem closer than ever to their future home. to use a baseball analogy, las vegas apparently now rounding third in approving plans for the new stadium on the strip. that's what one key member of the visitors authority says following yesterday's latest stadium meeting. he believes final approval for the remaining outstanding documents will happen by mid-december, with the stadium's 2028 opening still well in reach. all right, so grab your running shoes because oracle park buzzing this weekend with one giant race that actually ends on the field. a field you can be on today in the bay's ginger conejero saab live at oracle this morning. and ginger for people who haven't done this giant race before. this is a giant year to really get in on the fun. you're all laced up and ready to go. i know we're taking it slow. nice morning brisk walk around the field. i may have pulled a shin

70s there for today and then in the low 70s for saturday. the rest of the weekend. we'll also see much more sunshine. if your weekend plans take you to la, it's going to be a little warm today, but low 80s for the rest of the weekend. mike, you're seeing something going on near the bay bridge. yeah, i apologize, i was paying attention to your report, but i did also check in as you're making your report. i saw the lanes clear in the middle of the approach toward the toll plaza. we had a flatbed tow truck picking up a vehicle. looks like it somehow got stuck there out of gas or i don't know. anyways, they just cleared, so that's pretty good. look at the backups. not that bad. coming toward the bay bridge itself on the span of smooth drive. an earlier crash in you passing through richmond and san pablo kind of cleared things up as well. looking ahead, we're going to talk about this. of course, starting today, going through the 21st that lower manzanita park and ride that will be closed off for those higher tides. but not a major concern for highway 101 itself. guys, talk about the giants race. here's the embarcadero along the water from oracle park back and then to and from the fisherman's

wharf area. that's where the race will be. and of course, crowds toward oracle. but right now the friday light shows you we're only now hitting 20 minutes down. vasco road to 580 out of contra costa county. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. 640 right now going digital. up next, california will soon make it easier for people to add your driver's license to your phone. but what can you use it for? we break down the expanded program. both trump and harris want you to listen to their economic plans. we'll go through them coming up. and niners fans flocking to levi's. well, scott's a niners fan for sure. but you know but on this sunday they're going to flock over there for the home game of the preseason. and of course we're going to lay out what fans can expect once they are out there. stick around. you're watching to

to me as well. hot topic. good morning to you. you remember trump's economic announcement wednesday? got maybe a little sidetracked. so we took another crack at it thursday. as for harris. she will speak in north carolina about some of her plans if she were to become the next president of the united states. here we see her reunited with president biden, celebrating ne, lower costs for ten prescriptions commonly used by medicare patients. harris, expected to propose a $25,000

grant for first time home buyers, as well as proposing new rules and restrictions on the price of groceries. now, some have called this a federal price gouging law, but that's not exactly right. price gouging is not the same as just grocery stores raising the price to whatever the consumer will pay to maximize profits, for instance. california has a price gouging law. even if the federal government doesn't. california's prohibits sellers from raising the prices of badly needed goods, but only after the governor has declared an emergency. and even then, there are exceptions allowing businesses to go above 10% if their costs justify it. republican candidate for president donald trump has made two speeches about the economy this week. one on wednesday in north carolina in front of a background that had economic slogans, where he said, out loud his advisers had told him to stick to the economy. he didn't. and then thursday, he spoke about the high costs facing

families in the motor court outside his bedminster golf club, where he listed off a lot of facts and figures. cereals are up 26%, bread is up 24%, butter is up 37%. baby formula is up 30%, flour is up 38%. now harping on the economy and inflation is good political strategy. it's at the top of people's minds, particularly groceries. not clear though where he's getting those numbers. the latest consumer price index issued wednesday shows flour up less than 1% on the year. headline inflation at less than 3%. 2% is considered healthy. the former president often exaggerated the data, claiming the average american pays 10% for a mortgage. it's far less than that, he said. 100% of new job growth went to migrants, at one point saying more than 100%. and he said once again, the chinese pay when we put tariffs on goods china didn't have a chance. i took in

hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs from china, hundreds of billions of dollars. no president ever took in $0.10. the money doesn't come from china. americans pay tariffs in this case. president biden will mark the anniversary of the springfield race riots today at the white house. then he's off to camp david harris, as we mentioned, north carolina former president trump in pennsylvania tomorrow. meantime, in chicago, they're getting ready for monday. a sneak peek at the democratic national convention, where harrison walz will be officially nominated as the democratic candidates for president and vice president. nbc will have full coverage all week, just as we did the republican convention last month. that starts monday evening right here on nbc bay area. looks good. look forward to it. thanks, scott. well california is trying to make it easier to go digital. this is after rolling out digital driver's licenses and state id cards last year. it will soon allow people to add them to their apple and google

smartphone wallets. so around 500,000 californians. so far have taken advantage of the dmv's pilot program. users have to download the california dmv wallet app to store and access that. right now, the digital licenses can be used at tsa at sfo, mineta san jose airport, as well as lax. here we go. here we go. the 40 niners returning to levi's stadium this sunday nigh. this is for their first and only preseason game here. here we go. in fact, we've got a live look at the stadium this morning. it will be the niners first game at the santa clara venue since winning the nfc championship game last season. the team will bring back jamie coffee and quinn novini, the nfl's first female in-stadium p.a. announcers erika nicole, who is a black saxophonist, will sing sunday's national anthem, while the native american women warriors will be behind her in the color guard. the team's theme again this year is

football for all. it is a nod to the diversity of the bay area. we really want folks to come to the game and see themselves represented. if you can see it, you can be. it is what we hear all the time and that's what we really want to convey. it's an important tenant for the 49ers organization that we represent, the bay area and the diverse audience and fan base that we have for the faithful. the first regular season game takes place on september ninth, which is a monday night at levi's stadium against the jets. football season is almost upon us. no pressure. start with monday night. our niners are hopeful. they're looking good this year. absolutely. all right now forecast looking good for us too right. yeah it does i mean school's back in session. we're thinking about football. there's lots of festivals and there's so much going on this weekend to take in all of the nice and mild weather. we've had. let's take a live look outside in san francisco this morning. you can see it's all clear. this is even

a different picture from what we had yesterday at this time when we were waking up and heading out the door. so right now it's cool. the temperature is at 55 degrees and you do need a jacket stepping out. but later today we're going to see those temperatures starting to warm up here. along the coast. we're staying in the 60s for the most part at 8:00, going from 57 degrees to seeing those temperatures in the mid 60s throughout much of today. and at times we are going to see some gusty winds picking up lots of sunshine. and then looking ahead, there will be more clouds and drizzle, mainly in tomorrow's forecast. so there will be some changes for part of the weekend. but then we're also looking around the rest of the bay area with our high temperatures headed for the low 90s, we will still have some of those hotter inland highs in parts of the east bay. we're going to see temperatures up to 92. in concord, but a lot of 80s here for the tri valley martinez today back up to 89 degrees. so these temperatures are what you saw yesterday. what we've seen

throughout much of the week, up to 77 in fremont. but in palo alto, the high temperature today will reach 80 degrees. now the cooler air comes in tomorrow. this is when we will start out the day with clouds. and there may not be much clearing with a breezy wind in some spots will have some drizzle, especially in the morning, so a storm system is going to be moving very close by and bring our temperatures below what's actually normal for this time of year. the sunshine returns on sunday, but we're still keeping those nice and slightly cooler temperatures where even in the inland valleys, you're going to feel the change over the next few days. and we're seeing this low coming in with that rain all along the coast. and if you will be traveling farther north, you'll encounter some downright rain showers that we'll see up around eureka and farther to the north. while in the bay area, it's going to be cloudy and cooler and then looking at some drizzle at times. and then in the rest of the forecast, if you're thinking, okay, school is back in session, we have football. is it going to feel

like fall? no, not yet. it's still going to feel like summer. we're still going to see some 90s for the middle of next week. and our temperatures will remain quite hot inland. while san francisco only comes up slightly from 60s to lower 70s. mike are we looking for the light for the commute? yeah we are feeling like a friday, although we did see a little earlier traffic flow moore break tapper. but things have kind of calmed down. 101 and 87 showing your typical friday right now just starting to build once again through silicon valley. watch late morning in through early evening and things will get much more crowded as far as the volume around the bay as its continued to build. so far, no major issues, smaller incidents. we have more slowing through the tri-valley and over here. remember the peninsula has the express lane working work going on between palo alto and san mateo this weekend. back to you. thank you mike. it is 652. happening now. a class action lawsuit sparking concern about a massive amount of social security numbers and other personal information, which was hacked. the information was taken from the background check

fallout this morning for a failed tiny home company leaving bay area families in the dust. so that company is called adu builder and this week declared bankruptcy. but we actually spoke with one couple who says that in march, the company connected their bank account to make more than $200,000 in payments for work. the company never even started. it came in the form of three large unauthorized payments. now that money is gone and their backyard is still empty. you can hear their full story and what is going on behind the scenes at the adu builder. that story is posted at nbcbayarea.com. just click on the investigations tab. las vegas apparently now rounding third and its approving plans for the a's new stadium on the strip. that's what one key member of the visitors authority says following yesterday's latest stadium meeting. in the meantime, the a's and giants will be facing off in what should be the final bay bridge series ever tomorrow and sunday. both games are at the coliseum.
