died in their custody. it's a case which sparked outrage across the bay area. now the family say that they're living a nightmare. the next step they will take in their fight for justice. the race for mayor in
6:01 am
san francisco is getting heated. new calls for a criminal investigation into candidate mark farrell. the accusations he faces in the former mayor's backing, the push. it's terrifying to think what this next storm with the wind and the rain will actually do to all of that debris. bracing for a potentially catastrophic storm. hurricane milton is on its path towards florida's gulf coast. how the white house is trying to get ahead of the destruction. as fema faces a storm of its own, a backlash from the last hurricane less than two weeks ago. this is today in the bay. and this is tuesday morning. good morning to you. i'm marcus washington, and i'm laura garcia. we'll check the morning commute with mike in just a bit. vianey is in for kerry this morning. little bit of cooling coming. i've been looking at the seven day outlook, and i'm. i'm ready for fall. like, i think we all are. at least the temperatures. yeah. at least for it to match october right. exactly. so we do have a
6:02 am
beautiful start to our live cams. look at san jose. it's gorgeous out there. your day planner for this afternoon. we are expecting to climb into the 70s. so not as quick of a warm up as what we saw yesterday. we're at about 68 degrees. it's clear and right around ten 11:00 we're going to start to see the 70s roll in. and then eventually by about 1:00 we're going to be in the 80s. so still seeing some warmth in the interior area, san francisco. that camera is not san francisco. but if you look at the temperature right now, it's about 59 degrees clear over san francisco. you're going to notice it's going to be another beautiful day, but a bit cooler. we're going to be bumping up into the upper 60s by about 1:00. san francisco will likely still climb into the 70s. all right, let's get a check of the roads with mike. all right, folks, if you're just joining us, i've been tracking this alert in pinole. it's counter commute. it's eastbound 80 approaching highway four. but the distraction, because the crash is involving your left lanes alongside the divider there, the commute can see that it's building. there was an
6:03 am
early distraction, and now it's blending in with the morning commute slowing down through richmond. in richmond, we just got word of a delay for capital corridor. still tracking the details, but does this sound like trains are held up there for capital corridor and then the bart line through berryessa? there was a major delay. that sounds like it's recovering. there. across the bay bridge, there was a crash at fifth, but that has been cleared. we still have this backup. of course. back to you. thank you. mike. well, new developments, two alameda police officers no longer face charges in connection with the death of 26 year old mario gonzalez today in the bay's bob redell is in the east bay with more on the judge's decision. an alameda county superior judge says that the district attorney's office failed to file charges in a timely manner yesterday in court in oakland, the judge agreed with the defense motion to drop involuntary manslaughter charges against two of the alameda police officers. james fisher and cameron leahy, because the judge determined that the charges were not properly filed within the three year statute of
6:04 am
limitations. however, the charges against the third alameda police officer, eric mckinley. those charges remain because his statute of limitations was extended due to the fact that he was out of the country during some of that three year period. mario gonzalez, he died in april 2021. after those three alameda police officers allegedly pinned him to the ground during a scuffle, gonzalez's mother tells our sister station, telemundo 48, that what happened in court yesterday is an injustice and that she will not stop fighting to see those officers punished. los sentimientos juda con la fe chu yo tenia la decision tomaron no, no parece para nada estar respetando la vida de los seres humanos. translation they played with my feelings. they played with the faith. i had the decision. they made does not seem like they are respecting the lives of human beings. the third officer who faces charges is expected back in court. this
6:05 am
friday, bob redell today in the bay. well, san francisco mayoral candidate mark farrell blasting new allegations from former city leaders, including three mayors, that he broke campaign finance laws. political heavyweight willie brown is one of the former mayors who signed a letter accusing farrell of siphoning hundreds of thousands of dollars collected from a committee he formed to promote a fall ballot measure proposition d. now, the letter suggests campaign contributions for candidates are capped at $500 per person, while contributions for ballot measures are unrestricted. there are also calls for a criminal investigation to start before this next month's election. there is not one scintilla of evidence that we've talked to any one of the people that we are individually supporting. farrell says the shared expenses have been accounted for and disclosed in a statement. he goes on to say, quote, it is silly season in san francisco politics and voters should see
6:06 am
right through this blatant, coordinated attempt by my political opponents. each of these former mayors has endorsed one of my political opponents in this race, and this is nothing but pure political tactics, and it is shameful. end quote. the da's office and state attorney general each received the letter and did not respond to our requests for comment. democratic vice presidential candidate tim walz will be in the state capitol today to round off a brief campaign swing through the west coast. he's expected to speak at a campaign reception this afternoon. two days ago. walz attended two fundraisers in southern california. he is expected to speak in seattle this morning. today in sacramento, he should meet with governor newsom. in the meantime, tomorrow republican jd vance will return to the bay area. he is stopping in woodside for a fundraiser in late july. he attended a palo alto fundraiser hosted by mike belshe, co-founder and ceo of the crypto company bitgo. well,
6:07 am
now to a live look for you this morning. we want to show you in tampa, florida. this is where millions of people are bracing for the arrival of hurricane milton. the potentially extreme, powerful storm is expected to make landfall sometime tomorrow. now this as people are still cleaning up from the damage caused by hurricane helene today in the bay's alice barr. live in washington for us this morning. and alice, we're talking about back to back storms here. that is really putting the political spotlight on fema from its response. marcus back to back. incredibly powerful storms. and what a time to be in response right now. response mode. we are hearing from the federal government that they believe they have the resources and the personnel necessary to do this. and of course, they are urging the hundreds of thousands of people in the line of hurricane milton to get out of there. also, in the line of that hurricane, the leftover debris
6:08 am
from hurricane helene, only adding to the hazards. fears are growing in florida as quickly as the monstrous hurricane milton. now barreling toward the state's west coast. my heart breaks for this entire city. and to just have this kind of a storm come through is just unheard of. the storm is expected to make landfall late tomorrow around the tampa bay area and counties down the florida peninsula. thousands are heeding mandatory evacuation orders. if you remain there, you could die. my men and women could die trying to rescue you. president biden approving an emergency declaration. the federal government promising it's ready to respond with more than 900 federal workers on the ground in florida. we have search and rescue teams, the army corps of engineers, engineers are there. we are ready. we have the personnel. we can respond to multiple events at a single time. that ability
6:09 am
will be put to the test with massive storm recovery efforts underway from hurricane helene. among the most pressing priorities, clearing piles of debris that could become flying and floating hazards. it's terrifying to think what this next storm would. the wind and the rain will actually do to all of that debris. many dealing with the devastation from hurricane helene feel they haven't gotten enough support. have you seen anyone from fema? no. state and federal officials now battling misinformation, promising help is here as they brace for the next blow. and fema has been forced to respond to rumors noting on its website that there has been no diversion of disaster relief money to any other non disaster relief efforts. also clarifying those $750 payments that storm victims are eligible for that. that's just an initial emergency doling out to deal with those those
6:10 am
upfront needs. but that that is only kind of a backstop. while fema is assessing the larger needs and the larger benefits that any individual can be able to access. marcus. yeah. look at the damage that they've experienced there. certainly, we know more money is needed to help. all right, alice, thank you. i want to turn things now over to meteorologist vianey arana. you've been tracking this storm. vianey. so what are we looking at now? well, we're definitely noticing that defined eye as we look at where the movement of this hurricane is remaining at a category four winds right now, 145mph as far as the impacts. you know, the peninsula, yucatan, mexico, already seeing some rain and some impacts as far as wind speeds go. mexico did issue already warnings to several of its residents as this continues its track and its movement to tampa. now, keep in mind tampa has not had a direct hurricane hit since the 1920s. as of right now, it is expected to make landfall possibly either late
6:11 am
wednesday into early thursday morning. it's going to be the first zone of impact, but even if you're not in that first zone of impact, this will extend as far as storm surge warnings. as far as whipping winds, we're talking about rain 3 to 15in. and actually now the national hurricane center has issued warnings not just for the west side of florida, but extending over to the east side of florida as well. so if you look, the entire state of florida is covered in some sort of warning or advisory for folks living there. so we're going to keep a close eye on this. of course, i'll be back with your local forecast in just a few minutes. mike rai vianey. we're looking over here. and our main concern just on this grid is just gas prices, a minor concern compared to what you're talking about. but we're going to start in contra costa county with our low again today calling out antioch just under four bucks by a penny. if you pay cash at mobile on east 18th street, then sunnyvale has the best in the south bay. 409 at national petroleum on old san francisco road. but the city of san francisco in the county of san
6:12 am
francisco, the best we have is 449 at home gas on san bruno road. that's a new name to me. check out all those names at gasbuddy.com. find your best deal near you on the roadways. we're showing a pretty smooth drive, but we have this alert that continues up in pinole. eastbound 80 approaching highway four. still reports of two lanes blocked and activity on the right shoulder. so both sides of the freeway, you have to go between them on the two lanes that are available. the westbound commute is distracted and slowing. the crash at fifth cleared the bay bridge span is recovering westbound. back to you. all right. thanks, mike. 611 right now. your chance to own a piece of political history is here. next, a look at items owned by late senator dianne feinstein going up for auction today. and people who lost their money in a crypto coin scam will get their money back and then some. speaking of money, let's go out and see the future. it's been a rough october so far, but it looks like we'll be slightly to the upside. plus, i'm excited man. we're about to get these kids great. about to get them
6:13 am
right. about to show them the waves. you know what i'm saying? know what i'm saying? let's go. yeah, i think we know what you're saying. the bay area high school football team living the dream overseas. we're going to get you ready for their big game. but before that, they're giving back. of course, we're going to catch up with what they've been up to. keep it right he
6:14 am
6:15 am
6:16 am
fell monday as we worry about yet another hurricane. the economy in china and higher bond prices. delta airlines adding a flight from sfo to austin to its schedule that runs usually called the nerd bird by many in silicon valley. uber just introduced a system where you can set your default ride request to electric car only. really interesting news about ftx. you remember that whole crypto coin scam that left people who invested out of money? it was the whole sam bankman-fried debacle. well, the bankruptcy court says not only has it recovered essentially all the money and people will get their money back. they'll get their money back with interest. $1. 19 on every dollar. some credit should go to this guy, john ray. he is the new ceo of ftx and he specializes in fixing disasters. they put him in charge of enron after that company collapsed. ftx court
6:17 am
documents say he gets paid $1,200 an hour. a falcon nine rocket just lifted off from florida, carrying a european union space probe that will travel out to an asteroid called dimorphos, millions of miles away. it's going to take more than a year to get there. dimorphos is the asteroid we hit with the dart space probe back a few years ago, to just see if we could do it. just that way. we'd know if we needed to divert an asteroid, we could. here's a clip of that. back in 2022. three. two. one. oh my gosh. oh, wow. i was promised a big kaboom. the new space probe will go see what kind of damage we did to that asteroid. give us more data for future missions to protect the earth from asteroids. all right, so these are fireworks. you can hear them, right? i mean, you've heard them before. the video. you're seeing, though, is generated by ai. and so too is
6:18 am
the audio. a new system from meta allows you to create not just videos, but sound along with them. and that's a lot harder than it seems. computers need to be taught not only what the world sounds like, from babies crying to tires screeching, to what it sounds like on the santa cruz boardwalk merry go round. the computer then needs to be able to extrapolate that out to what other sounds must sound like. here's another example. so both the kid here and the skateboard, that's all ai the sound of water. the music. you can make your own dramatic movies. look at this. music is helpful because if you're making a little home movie or a little independent movie, you wouldn't need a license from an artist, which can be very, very expensive because there is no artist. wow. it's all been done on computers. the creativity. yes, it will be interesting to
6:19 am
see what people come up with. exactly. thank you. we'll be watching. all right. thanks, scott. 618 for you, this morning. and this is your chance to get your hands on precious family heirlooms from the late senator dianne feinstein. many of those items recently on display in san francisco. now, the collection is called legacy of a state woman. it includes a large collection of asian art and diamond jewelry, along with other personal effects owned by her and her late husband, richard blum, who died two years ago. the auction starts at 10 a.m. in southern california. bids will also be accepted online in a matter of hours. a bay area high school football powerhouse takes a field nowhere near home. get up, get up. oh. they're having fun. players from concord's de la salle high school are in london. that's where yesterday they posted a video of a football clinic for local youth. but they're playing an actual game there as well.
6:20 am
the school's first ever overseas. about three hours from now, they'll take on the nfl academy, which teaches talented players from across the globe. the game happens at tottenham hotspur stadium. the nfl will actually stream it live from its youtube channel. so good for them. we're trending this morning. get ready for the return of one one of rock's hottest bands. yeah. coldplay coming back to the bay area in a sky. cause in the sky full of stars. i think i saw you. okay, so this is hot off the press news for you. this morning. lead singer chris martin and the band just announcing a all new north american leg of their tour. it's called music of the spheres, and it follows friday's release of
6:21 am
their latest album, moon music. stanford stadium will be the first stop on that leg may 31st, with presale tickets going on sale this friday. and oh, we almost forgot coldplay rocking the plaza for you this morning as part of today's city concert series, they're going to perform some of the music from that new album along with the classic hits. it's all going to start for you this morning at 7:00, right after us here on today in the bay. you almost want to say summer concert series with the weather that we've been having lately. did they say fall? no. i was going to say. but that's new york. yeah, i was going to say the weather has been so all over the place, and we're going to head into now a more seasonable territory. so i think you're going to enjoy the 7-day forecast, especially just because of the relief that we're going to feel. it's about 68 degrees in san jose, right now. we've got clear skies. it's really nice. the wind speeds are calm and our temperatures across
6:22 am
the bay area 50s and 60s. for the most part, this is what it looks like right now at 620 in the morning. now the 24 hour temperature change is starting to become noticeable in some spots. and this includes hayward, santa rosa, san francisco, which i know some folks in san francisco have actually been enjoying the clear conditions, but we will see the return of that fog. and meanwhile, we do still have this heat advisory that i want to make sure you take note of, especially for all the folks that still live in this area, impacted by some of the warmer temps still today. concord, brentwood, livermore, oakland, this entire area highlighted in this orange, including parts of the hilltop areas, will still be under that heat advisory till about 7 p.m. keep in mind, even when we start to cool off a bit, we're still feeling the warmth, but also just how dry it is. this means elevated fire danger as you know, that high pressure dries out all of the vegetation and because of that, high pressure is the reason why we were so warm and we experienced this heat wave this past week.
6:23 am
we've got a cooler day ahead, daytime highs in the city will be in the 70s. we do still have some 80s. livermore 92, san jose 89 degrees. so the only way that we can start to cool off is by having that system, that high pressure system, get pushed out by another system. and that's what we've got in store later into this week. we've got the formation of a low pressure system just off the coast, but also a cold front. if you notice that green on the map. yes, that is the possibility of some rain. now this is an early season or early season storm chance heading into saturday. but you know, we're still kind of a couple of days out right now. it's not looking like a huge rainmaker, but it could be enough to bring some scattered activity. although even if we don't get a ton of rain out of it, we're going to get the influence of some cooler air behind it, and that's going to impact our daytime highs just in time for the weekend. so if you're looking for more of a cozy feel this weekend, you might just get that heading into wednesday and thursday. this is what we're going to start to see the formation of some fog, some
6:24 am
cloud cover influencing our daytime highs. with 60s in san francisco friday into saturday, we've got upper 60s. if you look at inland areas that drop 80, 90, 100. so we're talking about 30 degrees 30 plus, you know, in some spotsy the time we get to that friday, saturday forecast. and then for saturday 78 degrees, sunday 81 overnight lows will also start to get more comfortable. hopefully you can get some relief. finally at night 50s in the overnight lows. all right. let's see how the traffic is doing with mike. we might have some relief here for that alert. eastbound 80. looks like those sensors cleared. i believe they've cleared at least one unit. let's say everything's okay. eastbound 80, past highway four. it's westbound, which is your typical commute. slowing in through pinole and richmond. there another issue for richmond. we still have capital corridor with no service. it's halted there in richmond. there's a trespasser reported on the tracks, and there's an incident there. so it may be a lengthy delay for that particular transit agency. the rest of the roadways move pretty typical for tuesday. that means a heavier volume back to you. thank you. mike. well, women
6:25 am
going through menopause can expect a lot of changes, some that may surprise you. next on today in the bay, we talk with an expert about the impact it has on your dental health. we'll
6:26 am
6:27 am
but did you know it also impacts oral health? in fact, more than a third of women aged
6:28 am
40 or over say they've experienced a decline in their overall oral health as they age. that's according to a study by delta dental insurance. experts say menopause can lead to gum disease, toothaches, even tooth loss. they say women should have more conversations with their dentists about these changes. if you're not comfortable saying, hey, i'm menopausal or perimenopausal, maybe walk in and talk about i'm feeling some dry mouth, or hey, i'm noticing some changes in my gums and initiate that conversation that way. or email the office before you get there so that they know what you want to talk about when you arrive. to prevent dental issues, experts say you should eat a balanced diet and cut back on sweets. also, be sure to brush and floss regularly. 628 for you this morning, and we've got a lot more ahead for you at 630, including some breaking news coming out of the east bay. we're going to take you live to the scene of an overnight house

6:32 am
together. decision day san francisco school leaders may be ready to release their list of possible school closures. the widespread impact it may have already on some anxious families. and after more than a week of brutal heat, let the cooldown begin. we're tracking a dip in temperatures you'll really start to feel today. this is today in the bay. i feel like i need a bugle for that. good news. it's been so hot. good tuesday morning to you. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. and i'm marcus washington. well, let's talk about that weather there. meteorologist kari. meteorologist. vianey arana in for kari hall this morning. i know you've been monitoring that. yes. any time we get a few degrees cooler. it is a nice feeling. it is. and, i mean, we're back to blue with our graphics. that means no microclimate weather alert. but, you know, we've still got in the interior. and that's, of course, because of our microclimate. so if you live in walnut creek, it's about 63 degrees right now. if you notice, still going to be
6:33 am
warm today. so if you live in the interior, i still don't want you to completely put your guard down. as far as heat safety goes, any outdoor activities you still kind of want to limit that. it'll get better by the end of this week, don't worry. but you know, if you live in walnut creek, even in san jose, live. look beautiful shot there. temperatures are also going to bump up by about 12:00. we're going to be at about 82 degrees. by 1:00. we're going to be at 85. and you notice we're going to keep the clear conditions. so it will be beautiful and nice in san francisco as well. so i'll keep you posted. as far as the extended outlook, because you're really going to see a big drop by as much as 20 degrees in some spots. it will be welcome relief across parts of the bay area. send it back to you. all right. thanks, vianey. well, there are some breaking news. this morning just coming into our newsroom. firefighters there on the scene of a two alarm house fire in lafayette today in the bay's. bob redell just arrived on the scene and, bob, i understand they put that fire out. it is. we are on monroe avenue. this is an older neighborhood not far
6:34 am
from the main drag in downtown lafayette. and this fire started in this green house behind me. i know it's dark. it's probably hard to tell, but there's a bunch of trees here. and in the background is this green house that caught fire around 5:00. this morning. the fire department, they called for a second alarm. there's multiple agencies out here, and i want you to see why this is what greeted them when they arrived. this house was fully involved. when they arrived here. and this area is very tight. the houses next door are very close to each other, so they wanted to make sure that that fire didn't spread. so there was one man, an older man who lived inside this green house. now, i did speak with the assistant chief this morning. he says the older man, he smelled something burning before he went to bed around 10:00 last night. he went around, tried to figure out what it was. obviously, whatever it was, he didn't find it. it smoldered. and then it burst into flames. this morning around 5:00, we did speak with again, as i mentioned, the assistant chief. the biggest challenge facing them this morning was this. this is a tight area. you
6:35 am
know, the houses we know are pretty close to each other. and obviously you have vegetation. we want to spend a lot of resources. it's not that big of a house literally. but it's just you want to come in pretty heavy with equipment and personnel to be able to knock things down and reduce our life safety factors and everything you know. so again, there's just a, you know, several feet separating the green house that caught fire from the houses on either side of it. and the fire department was able to save those houses. and on their side, the people who live in those houses next door, they were able to get out. okay. and again, the older man who lives in the green house, he was able to get out on his own. okay, so everyone is okay, but unfortunately his house is destroyed. and as far as what was smoldering, what the cause is, that's still under investigation. reporting live here in lafayette. bob redell today in the bay. wow. to think that he actually smelled something. well, glad he got out. thank you. bob. it is 6.35 right now. today is the day a lot of san francisco families
6:36 am
have been dreading. in a few hours, they'll learn whether their neighborhood schools are on the chopping block. as san francisco unified tries to manage its budget. kris sanchez has been following this story. joining us now. so, kris, what can we expect with this change? well, for starters, the san francisco unified superintendent says that families can expect more transparency about this process. that could change where their kids go to school and how their tax dollars are spent. san francisco unified is under scrutiny from the state and the city of san francisco for budget trouble, which only partly relates to declining enrollment. right now, the district is in a $400 million budget hole and is projected to run out of money by 2025. what we know right now is that all schools, elementary, middle and high schools are all part of this discussion. the chronicle has narrowed it down to about 14 of the district's 121 schools. in a recorded video provided by the superintendent's office, superintendent matt wayne announced that the list
6:37 am
would be released today publicly and talked about why these closures and mergers are critical. right now, we face a serious budget crisis that we need to address now in order to make sure that we are maintaining local control. right now, the state has escalated its oversight and is watching us closely. and so the decisions we make in the coming months are going to mean the difference between the state recognizing we've made progress or feeling like it needs to intervene more. so here's what you can expect. today, san francisco unified will release that list of schools that could close or merge by the end of this school year. we're talking about may. on thursday, the superintendent will hold a virtual town hall meeting to discuss the plan, and he will take questions from the public. then, in about a month november 12th, the san francisco unified board could get the final recommendation list. and then the final vote could happen as early as december 10th. now, last month, mayor london breed and the city
6:38 am
sent in a stabilization team to help weigh in on the district's finances. human resources and youth and family services. in may, the california department of public of education released their audit, which was dire but which did not indicate that a state takeover of the district was imminent. of course, school closures and consolidations don't just affect students. hundreds of school teachers and staff members could also lose their jobs. so as soon as that list is public, we're going to bring you an update. laura. all right. thank you very much. we'll continue to follow kris. well, a live look in tampa this morning where people are fleeing hurricane milton expected to make landfall along the state's gulf coast sometime tomorrow. it was actually downgraded to a category four while you were sleeping. after reaching that category five status yesterday. governor gavin newsom sending 144 firefighters and ground support personnel from california to assist with
6:39 am
hurricane response. that includes first responders from menlo park. people living within florida's evacuation zone are being told to leave or they will die. that is actually a direct warning from tampa's mayor. across the state, people have been piling sandbags and filling them with concerns about the storm surge, flooding and strong winds. also, tampa's airport is shutting down today, and schools in at least 20 florida counties are canceling classes starting today. meteorologist vianey arana of course, tracking that storm's path potentially some intense impact. we're going to see here. absolutely. and, you know, the thing with hurricanes is the direct impact is not just for we expect to see the landfall. it's really if you look at the state of florida across the entire state, i mean, extended warnings have now been issued for the east side of florida, not just the west portions, because of potential storm surge. a category four now. so wind speeds are at 145mph. now, keep in mind, just
6:40 am
because it has been downgraded to a category four does not mean that it is losing intensity. strength. the categories are based on wind speeds, a category five is when the wind speeds go. sustained wind speeds above 157mph, so it was downgraded based on the wind speeds. but the impacts of this are still going to be extremely dangerous. and here's what to expect or what we know so far. as far as the changes it could see landfall as early as late wednesday into early thursday. the tampa bay area will be the first zone of impact, and sustained winds could reach 125mph. still extremely dangerous potential for up to 15ft. all right, let's get a check of the roads. all right. good news. i think the alert. i'll say it's cleared because i don't see any slowing. eastbound 80 at highway four, but westbound out of panola and in toward richmond, the traffic volume holds steady. we also hold with the delay in the alert for capitol corridor. train 521 was stopped in richmond. some time ago. a trespasser incident was reported and they said
6:41 am

scott mcgrew is booked on three major shows today. this is after that big 60 minutes interview last night. right. last night. to which donald trump was also invited, said yes before backing out. 60 minutes has been running presidential candidate interviews in october since before many americans had colored tvs, and each time there were two candidates. this time, though, just one. cbs's scott pelley, explaining off the top
6:45 am
of the show the trump campaign had at first agreed, then backed out partially because it was worried 60 minutes would fact check trump. we fact check all of our interviews, pelley explained. cbs also says trump demanded an apology for something lesley stahl had said in a 2020 interview with trump. but the records show she never said it. she said the pelley rather said both sides understood the election special would go on whether a candidate dropped out or not. you are sitting here with us. the trump campaign canceled an interview that they had agreed to participate in this broadcast. what do you make of that? if he is not going to give your viewers the ability to have a meaningful, thoughtful conversation, question and answer with you, then watch his rallies, you're going to hear conversations that are about
6:46 am
himself and all of his personal grievances, and what you will not hear is anything about you, the listener. harris was also asked about the situation in the middle east, abortion, a number of topics. she was asked about the gun. she says she owns. i have a glock and i've had it for quite some time. and i mean, look, bill, my background is in law enforcement. and so there you go. have you ever fired it? yes, of course i have. at a shooting range? yes, of course i have. vice presidential candidate tim walz also interviewed. as is tradition, he said his boss, kamala harris, asked him to be more careful about what he said in public. walz has been caught exaggerating parts of his personal biography. harris will be on the view today as well as the howard stern radio show and
6:47 am
the late show with stephen colbert. walz is in nevada. president biden will speak about hurricanes this morning before campaigning for harris in wisconsin. jd vance stumps in detroit. no events on donald trump's campaign schedule today, though he will be in pennsylvania tomorrow. well, a local race. many people have their eyes on this november. scott is the fight to replace longtime peninsula congresswoman anna eshoo. former san jose mayor sam liccardo and state assemblyman evan low are competing for her seat. they will face each other in a rescheduled debate this friday. you can watch it right here on nbc bay area at 7 p.m. nbc. bay area's raj mathai will moderate the back and forth. if you can't watch live, you can watch the replay later on our website and on youtube. well, now to a live look in san francisco, where state attorney general rob bonta is scheduled to appear later this morning to announce new actions to better protect children online. his news conference is scheduled for 945 at san francisco's main library.
6:48 am
recently, bonta introduced the protecting youth from social media addiction and california children's data privacy act. both would limit the danger linked to social media addiction. also today, san francisco supervisors are expected to weigh a measure first proposed by aaron peskin to ensure the city's rent control survives. if california voters passed proposition 33. that measure would repeal the costa-hawkins act of 1995 and limit local rent control. all san francisco housing units built before 1979 are currently subject to rent control. and peskin, who we should point out is running for mayor, argues his measure offers more protections than costa-hawkins. opponents call his push. election day politics that is being pushed through city hall and rushed, they say now. they also believe that it would limit new development. 648 right now, san francisco's fleet week officially underway and a lot of it involves fun activities including air shows, parades and
6:49 am
live music. but there's more than just that today. government agencies, they will be joining forces with the military, all in the name of safety. today in the bay's ginger conejero saab live for us over at the uss tripoli and ginger this morning is really about testing our emergency response. it really is. and strengthening this continued partnership between the city of san francisco, the navy and the marine corps during a time like fleet week, when they can practice and hone in on these emergency drills. but i want to just say it is a glorious morning in san francisco. we're on the flight deck of the uss tripoli. you see the ch 53 super stallion behind us, which is one of the largest aircrafts of the military. and here to talk to us about the capabilities of that aircraft and the rest of what fleet week has to offer. we have lieutenant commander vance lambert, as well as lieutenant commander chloe morgan from the u.s. navy. vance, you were telling me that the capability of this is really
6:50 am
impressive, really multi-purpose. that's right. it's a heavy lift helicopter that the marines fly. so mostly troop transport and then it can also lift tanks, heavy trucks, anything to get you in and out of, you know, small landing zones. yeah, well, and this is really what we're practicing today, the focus of today as part of the fleet week exercise is strengthening that partnership between the city of san francisco in an emergency drill as well as the military. right. we're here for the defense support to civil authorities supporting the department of emergency management. and during this exercise, we're showing the capabilities of if there was an emergency in the local area, how we in the navy and the marine corps team can come up and support the local government. and it's just really one of the exercises, activities that's happening during fleet week. chloe, i know people come out and see the blue angels. they come out and see the parade of ships. this is something that's also a core exercise here, but
6:51 am
talk to us about the rest of fleet week. yes, well, we want everyone to come out here and visit us so we have ship tours starting at pier 27 aboard uss somerset, and then the ship that we're on right now, uss tripoli. you got to see it to believe it. it's huge. it's amazing. come visit and meet our sailors and marines. we're going to start having tours here on saturday, so come join us, be on the tours. and then afterwards join us. even at fleet fest, we're going to have our military bands playing and it's just an opportunity for us to meet this community. and really, like you said, you know, you have to see it to, to believe it. i mean, this is it's one thing to kind of see it on, on tv or maybe see a picture of it, but to come up close and personal and compare how small you are to an aircraft like this, it's pretty incredible stuff. what's your favorite part about fleet week? you know, just going out to the different neighborhoods. san francisco is such a vibrant city, and it's been amazing the reception that we've gotten the entire time. so it's really the community engagement. and vance,
6:52 am
your favorite part about san francisco? everybody's been incredibly welcoming. we really, really like it. the food's great. the people are great. i'm really excited to be here. all right. well, thank you so much. i'm excited to have you guys here. we'll have more on fleet week on nbcbayarea.com. we're going to wrap it up for now. but those drills start at nine this morning. so we'll have more on that on our midday newscast. we're live in san francisco ginger conejero saab. today in the bay. all right. thanks, ginger. always such a great week filled with events. and finally, the weather is going to cooperate. it really is. i know that, you know, we've been enjoying the clearness of the skies thanks to the high pressure. but, you know, maybe the warmth has been a bit aggressive, especially considering how many daily record highs we managed to break in the span of seven days. now, right now in san rafael, we're at about 68 compared to yesterday. around this time, rain about five degrees cooler. so we're seeing a kind of a drop already in a lot of spots, including san francisco, hayward, almost ten degrees and
6:53 am
of course that humidity. we've had a nice recovery overnight, which this is what we definitely always have a big focus on when it comes to elevated fire danger, as that high pressure continues to move out and we continue to see the movement of a new system roll in, that's going to improve as well. now we've got that dangerous heat still in effect for some parts in through the interior, because we're seeing above average in some of these spots. so heat advisory was kept until 7 p.m. for the highlighted areas. we're going to continue to see some daytime highs, some climbing into the 90s but not expecting triple digits in the same way that we've seen all week. now 93 for concord, 79 in oakland, palo alto, 84. look at san francisco, 74 degrees. half moon bay 67. and as we inch closer to that kind of thursday friday forecast, here's what we're looking out for in the pacific. so we've got this system that's forming this is going to bring us the possibility of seeing our first early season rain chance here for the bay area, but also that cooler air that's going to settle quite beautifully,
6:54 am
helping us kind of see a change as much as 20 to 30 degrees by the time we get to that weekend forecast. let's plan out the rest of your workweek heading into wednesday, look at the daytime highs for san francisco. we're going to see the return of some fog as well. so that marine layer. karl, i know has been kind of steering clear this week because of that high pressure. but for thursday into friday, you'll also notice some cloud cover as well. beginning to increase spotty shower chance into saturday. timing wise, and just how much it's still a bit iffy and tricky. we'll know a bit more as we inch closer, but if you notice the daytime highs for saturday probably going to be the coolest day. so if you had any weekend plans involving the outdoors, you don't have to worry about that heat index heading into the evening hours. all right. let's see how those roads are doing now with mike vianey. it's tuesday so we have a heavier volume. no drama. once the alert cleared from the pinole for eastbound 80, we still have the issue with capitol corridor and richmond train being held there because of a trespasser incident, but
6:55 am
being tuesday, you see the heavy volume now, walnut creek for 680 and 24 coming up past the scene where bob talked about that structure fire on monroe. that's just off highway 2424. see some slowing through lafayette and in toward the caldecott. there's the build for vasco road out of contra costa county, south of there. pretty standard. back to you. thank you very much, mike. it is 654 happening now. two american professors have just been awarded the nobel prize in physics. one of them has ties to google. 91 year old john hopfield and 76 year old geoffrey hinton were named early this morning for their decades long research, forming the building blocks of artificial intelligence. hinton last year left his job at google, in large part so he could speak freely about the dangers of ai. we'll be rig
