contravenes the doctrines of the military. we'll review it. >> reporter: the pentagon referred questions to the white house. the pentagon won't release numbers but there are between 2500 and 7,000 transgender service members in the active duty military and up to 4,000 in the reserves. navy lieutenant commander blake serving as a man for three years called the decision disaappointing. >> transgender people are already serving in all aspect. military and have no impact to readiness and the lethality of our mission. >> reporter: there is no word on what will happen to those currently serving. mola lenghi for cbs news, the pentagon. >> reaction is pouring in from around the bay area on the military transgender statement. kpix 5's jackie ward has that part of the story. >> reporter: moments after president trump tweeted this morning there was an overwhelming amount of backlash from people across the bay area even his gop supporters here in

san francisco wish he did things differently. >> we have honorable people transgender, gender, nonconforming individuals who volunteered to serve our nation, putting their lives on the line. we have this coward in the white house who is telling them they can't serve. >> reporter: san francisco supervisor who served on the board since january and made rights a priority says what president trump tweeted is outrageous! >> what i think is awful is that you have a man who received deferments and didn't serve in vietnam one for a bone spur in his heel, that he got while playing golf. >> reporter: jason clark chairman of the san francisco republican party says he thinks president trump's tweets are a mistake. >> i think what the president should have said was, chelsea manning is unqualified to serve in the u.s. military in any capacity. instead, he has painted the whole broad stroke of people and said they're unqualified to serve at all.

affecting us that affects tens of millions of people. >> conservatives favor a vote on a straight repeal of obamacare with no replacement. but enough moderate republicans oppose that idea making it unlikely to pass. attorney general jeff sessions could be pulling millions of dollars from sanctuary cities. but local leaders say they are not backing down. kpix 5's jessica flores has the details. >> reporter: attorney general jeff sessions cracking down on sanctuary cities issuing new rules saying local governments will lose federal grants from the justice department if they refuse to cooperate with immigration agents. oakland mayor libby schaaf says despite the threat, oakland will remain a sanctuary city. >> the oakland police have a very clear policy that we will not cooperate with i.c.e. we will not. we are clear that our job is to protect our residents and that immigrants are what make this city great. >> reporter: under the new rules, the department of justice will withhold certain federal grants unless cities give immigration authorities

access to local jails and alert the department of homeland security when someone potentially facing deportation will be released from jail. oakland doesn't have city jails, but the rules would violate policies in counties and cities across the bay area including san francisco. in a statement, san francisco city attorney dennis herrera says: >> reporter: but yesterday in ohio, president trump touted the crackdown on illegal immigration as a win. >> we're not doing it in a politically correct fashion!

driver can be ticketed for getting from point a to point b faster than the time it would take by following the speed limit. traffic deaths have surged an estimated 14% over the last two years to around 40,000 people killed. the ntsb says an unintended consequence of states raising the speed limit has been additional deaths. kris van cleave, cbs news, washington. let's take a look at the big board. the dow is up 82 points. not bad. live look at levi's stadium. that's where in just about an hour, soccer fans will start gathering for a highly anticipated match. the u.s. takes on jamaica in the gold cup final at 6:30. as kpix 5's katie nielsen explains, it is the second time this week a big soccer game could mean big traffic backups. >> reporter: as you can see behind me, preparations are already under way for tonight's game.

great america parkway from two lanes southbound to four. so all lanes are heading to the freeway. that isn't possible tonight with great america and local businesses staying open. >> just be patient and you can leave early, leave work early. >> reporter: police say they have been working with federal intelligence agencies and so far, no credible threats to this event. but, of course, they will be on alert. the biggest issue they are worried about tonight is the traffic. at levi's stadium, katie nielsen, kpix 5. all right. time for a check on our weather forecast. for anybody going out to enjoy that game or what not tonight, roberta? >> well, we started off with some heavy drizzle along the coast and into the bay. people were walking into the studio this morning saying, it's raining outside! i had to say wait, that's not rain. it's condensation. [ laughter ] >> condensation is the heavy drizzle all associated with that very deep marine layer. right now, we cleared out nicely around the bay. it looks like for the most part we're picking up a nice sea breeze. the flag on the fly on top of pier 9. that's what it looks like from above. that's a deck of stratus that continues to stream in over the

golden gate bridge as seen from our sutro tower cam. we're looking in a northerly direction. look at the numbers, 61 degrees cool in san francisco. 70s in santa rosa. 70 in livermore. the winds are increasing northwest 1 in san francisco 12 in san francisco. 12 in concord. 15 in fairfield. robert sullivan our weather watcher in redwood city also 70 degrees. he says it's gray outside. looking forward to a warm weekend. yeah, okay, robert. it's got to be hot inland! enjoy your warm conditions as low pressure dissipates allowing high pressure to expand and build in strengthen, warming up the atmosphere. but look what's going on to the south of us. we do have three different storms. first off, tropical storm greg right there causing advisories for rain in throughout the oahu area of hawaii. this is irwin, building in strength and this is hurricane hilary, that's going to affect

our local coast. people always say can a hurricane affect us? it can! we are going to get some really big swells to 15 seconds, dangerous rip currents and sneaker waves. please be mindful at the ocean. thursday through sunday, that would be. sunset today 8:23. by then, our temperatures 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. seasonal summer day except slightly above average towards the tri-valley, back through the delta at 95 in discovery bay. hotter tomorrow and, in fact, besides a degree this or that way, flirting with a 100 each day through tuesday. so i hope you enjoy your wednesday. and we'll be right back after this.

fire in milpitas... near weller road. about 10 acres have burned so far. breaking news right now. chopper 5 is live over a grass fire in milpitas. this is near weller road. about 10 acres have burned so far. you can see some of the firefighting vehicles there right in the thick of it. helicopters and flames have been fighting the flames. right now, no structures are threatened. some tips on a hearty rice dish you can make. today fresh grocer tony tantillo and his daughter, stephanie, tackle risotto. >> reporter: today in the kitchen stephanie and i are making something wonderful, risotto, the way she pronounces it, i love it. now, she cannot leave the

risotto because you have to babysit it. >> this is a risotto style dish called [ non-english language ] which is rice and peas and kind of old venetian dish from venice in the springtime, very cool dish, a more of a peasant style because it's served more like a dense soup. you actually go a little bit longer on the risotto than typical. so to starch almost makes a broth or sauce. so with risotto you put in the rice dry. and a hot pan with some peas that are sauteed and slowly laid until warm stock and water or a vegetable stock, just something light. and you just keep stirring it and stirring it until it's ready and the very last step is we are going to drop in just a couple of cubes of butter. with a traditional risotto dish this would be a lot more butter but we're going to change the ending a little bit. we are going to add something else to the top. so stir that in. give it a little more ladle

once the butter is melted. this rice is amazing, how quickly it soaks up the water and releases the starches at the same time. now we're going to plate. >> look at the texture. >> see how it's so, so creamy? so we're going to put on a few sauteed mushrooms on top. i just like sweet pea. >> what kind of mushrooms? >> shiitake. they were dried. you can use any kind of mushroom you want but i like that earthy balance to the sweetpeas. it's a nice different play on the textures. and a smidge of olive oil because typically you finish it up with cheese but we changed a different fat. even so.
