violence. what imaging is it won't be solved just by law enforcement. this solution will have to be a collaborative approach. >> you want people to show up saturday. why should they be here? >> it is an opportunity to say there is hope but that hope is us doing it together to hear voices of everybody to say what we want to see our city look like. >> the chief says he had been planning today's event for sometime but it is taking on more urgency after the fourth of july last sunday where there were seven shootings in just 12 hours, one deadly. looking live at oakland this morning where a's want to build a new ballpark at howard terminal. the proposal is drawing fresh concern from community leaders. the 35,000 seat stadium would only have 2,000 parking spots which would force fans to park in china town less than a mile from the ballpark. da lin reports on what business leaders there are saying.

>> reporter: china town leaders say let's be clear, they're not against howard terminal ballpark. they want a's to stay in oakland but do want modifications they say would make the game plan a win, win for the a's and china town. most shoppers agree daytime parking in china town is a nightmare. >> we circle the whole area twice. everybody is double parked. we just go home without parking and stopping anywhere. >> reporter: adding a ballpark nearby could gridlock the business district. >> there will be good traffic and there will be bad traffic. >> reporter: the china town chamber of commerce president says good traffic is when fans park and spend money in china town before or after the game. bad traffic is when they take up a spot and leave without spending a penny. >> many small businesses are left out of this conversation. that's the reason why we really need to make sure we will voice the concerns, making sure their

voices are being heard. >> china town is not opposed to the howard terminal project. >> reporter: the board president of the oak land asian cultural center, she says the a's have to look at building more parking spots and find ways to solve traffic problems fans can potentially cause. >> it was not included in the city's environmental review. >> reporter: community leaders would like a's to present moat china town as a shopping destination to fans but also allow restaurants to have free or discounted concessions at the ballpark. >> counting on the a's to step up as a member of the community, as a neighbor, and to be a good neighbor, not one that comes in and wipes out an existing thriving community. >> reporter: they want more than lip service. they want something in writing. they would like a provision in the term sheet. city council is expected to vote on the a's term sheet on july 20. i am da lin, kpix5. to the coronavirus this

morning, conflicting advice on whether california students should keep wearing masks even after they've gotten their shot. cdc issued new guidelines saying vaccinated teachers and students no longer need to wear a mask but health leaders say they recommend all students keep wearing masks. they say they don't want children to feel singled out or different. pediatricians agree saying it is a good idea to protect children against the highly transmissible delta variant. the good news is that even though transmission may occur, the illness itself is still little to no symptoms. >> they will unveil a more complete set of guidelines for the school year on monday. covid cases are rising in 26 states. hospitalizations are also up in 17 states including california. the time is 6:09.

attention, california. new federal funding of $3 billion is available to help more people pay for health insurance — no matter what your income. how much is yours? julie and bob are paying $700 less, every month. dee got comprehensive coverage for only $1 a month. and the navarros are paying less than $100 a month. check coveredca.com to see your new, lower price. the sooner you sign up the more you save. only at covered california. this way to health insurance.

every year it cost the

state millions to destroy thousands of pounds of illegal fireworks. instead of of spending money to destroy them a bill would allow the state to make money off illegal fireworks. it calls for selling to fireworks exporters and wholesalers for resale in other states. there are obvious concerns. >> what's to keep the fireworks from ending up back here next year? >> they're not going to a neighboring state first and foremost. >> we know for a fact when we send these for disposal, they are never making their way back in california. >> a legislative report found majority of fireworks seized in california are commercially viable and legal in other states. on the fire watch, crews in oakland got a handle on a fire burning dangerously close to bart. this video from citizen app shows flames hit an encampment. bart was briefly delayed with fire burning near the tracks.

there is no word on how it started or if there were injuries. bay area crews in southern oregon to help. the bootleg fire is threatening a regional transmission system. flames have collared more than 38,000 acres of national forest land and also forced people from their homes. evacuation orders in place in california near california nevada state line. flames on the beck worth complex fire are threatening camp grounds and cabins. the fire has burned more than 38,000 acres in the national forest north of truckee. containment is under 10%. that fire is considered the largest wildfire this year. back to the bay area, let's get a check of our weather which is scorching hot. >> a gorgeous start to the day with the marine layer that's doing such a huge favor for all the communities that have immediate access to th t be ch of a heat wave to this point and likely won't be.

inland, it is a different story. i have to leave behind the fantastic view from the top of the sales force looking east. san jose, temperatures will climb from mid to upper 80s yesterday to mid 90s today. we will notice a warm up here, not so much in the city where temperatures were in the upper 60s. you will likely hold onto a lot of that. in the tri valley numbers in livermore got up to 105 yesterday. we will be doing that again today. let's start with where we are at this point. look at the number for livermore at 64. compare that to the 52 in santa rosa. we've got a 12-degree difference in the temperatures already at the starting gate. that's part of the reason why liver more's numbers go so high and santa rosa, while it will be warm, you will not go as high as livermore. we are not seeing a lot in the way of the marine layer, pretty clouds we are watching with the sunrise are pretty much confined to most immediate bay. look across the bay area, by

1:00 in the afternoon we are looking at clear skies. let's talk about the difference in temperatures across the bay area as a whole. if we check on concord, the number yesterday made it to up 103 for the daytime high. if you contrast that with where we were on thursday, it was 98, we have noticed a big jump in the numbers. by tomorrow we have made it up to 106. by tomorrow technically i am talking about actually today, that's this afternoon. saturday afternoon 106. by sunday, 101. it's a little bit of a cool down, just not enough to get us out of this. that's why excessive heat warning stays in effect until sunday night after the sun has gone down. by monday it is a huge improvt. ife chctive and instead of looking at concord which is kind of the extreme, we will take these numbers, put san jose in and play the same scenario out. you can see the difference there coming up to the mid 90s.

you really get how the bay area will experience the heat wave differently depending which part you are in. santa rosa, numbers are high at 102. these numbers are why santa rosa has been included with a heat advisory. we will look at the excessive heat warnings and advisory in a second. first let me get in everybody's daytime highs. low to mid 90s in the south bay. red wood city goes to 92. 90 san mateo. hayward is 84. here is where the real difference is. 106 in concord, 106 in pleasant hill, 103 dublin and it will be 106 in livermore. back over here on the east ay shoreline, temperatures come up to the upper 70s and 80s. 81 r san rafael99 novato, 100 santa rosa. numbers into lake and mendocino

start to climb to the 106, 109- degree range. that's where we've got an issue and that certainly is included in the excessive heat warning. the real focus of course though for the majority of the population centers in the east bay valleys. watch what happens as we switch perspective from the excessive heat warning to heat advisory. now we can see that show up for valleys of north bay, that in effect until 11:00 tomorrow night. santa clara, you have your own heat advisory. that's in effect until 11:00 tomorrow night. it gets better by next week. highs will come back down to the mid and upper 80s, a big improvement for sure. let's get through the weekend. it will be rough if you are inland but there is a wonderful light at the end of the tunnel. >> when it gets this hot, you need to have a plan. if there is something you need to accomplish outside for example, you have a couple hours in the early morning, maybe a couple showers closer to dusk to get that done. >> yes. the communities who really need to be thinking about making a

plan like that most are anybody along 580 and 680, those east bay valleys and of course mendocino and lake county. >> thank you. some firefighters start thinking about retirement in their 50s, at least one east bay man in his 50s is training for the job. sharon chin spoke to a fire academy and the daring rescue which prompted a career change. he proves he can keep up with trainees half his age. at 51 the martinez man just graduated from the fire academy on the campus in alameda county. >> very rde be. it's very unusual for a 51-year- old to come through this. >> reporter: a retired fire captain coordinates the program. he says most academy students are between age 19 and mid 30s.

more mature students bring valuable life experience as better communicators and problem solvers than younger counterparts. >> the four cs i look for in somebody who will be able to make it, he is coming in with it. he brings this combination of confidence, competence, consistency, and compassion. >> reporter: charles, a personal trainer, decided to become a first responder after he rescued a child in 2019. he and his wife were on vacation on a tahoe ski lift when he saw a father clutching his son. >> his child slipped, the son. he had reached over to hold the son. the son's hand was below the lip of the chair. >> charles jumped off and yelled to the father to let his son go. >> i was beneath the kid. when the kid fell, i hugged him and we bounced off the snow. >> reporter: charles realized

his calling. >> it's a surreal feel. this is what i have been looking for. >> reporter: he starts applying for fire fighting jobs for expece. hin the day, you go i made a difference in that person's life that was positive. >> reporter: instructor bob would say charles' fiery passion for his new profession is already inspiring others no matter what their age. good morning everybody. about last night. well, got a fallen star player which is not enough to slow down the giants. the new look uniforms were on display friday. always looks

good morning. baseball up top and the giants buster posey sidelined and on

the injured list, no all star game for the star catcher. but he will taw. roll up the sleeves, the performance last night, looked clean against the nationals. bottom of the second, way to fill in for posey, two run blast gave a 3-0 lead. he had three hits last night. nationals rally to tie it in the fifth. opened a big can. look at that. giants led 4-3 and never looked back. the defense, brandon crawford, what? snag and glove shovel flip, buy me a better double play, i dare you. wow! 5-3 final, giants maintain lead on the dodgers in the west. a's at texas. you better eat those before the birds invade. first pitch of the night and

look what happened. looked like he was ready for a back adjustment. top of the sixth, lowry, a's up, found a hole, 2-0. rangers didn't have a hit until the sixth and then accumulated with the bases loaded. rangers rally and took the lead and won the game, 3-2. astros lost so houston's lead still a's in the west. >> i have always wanted to do this. >> yeah. >> 16-year-old big man lewis, he's gone pro. contract with the new atlanta based over time elite league. he will get remainder of his high school education from the league and fat game checks for playing. that league will be ready to go

in the fall. water craft, lake tahoe beach, how about some golf? american century championship first round made steph curry, free throws at the 17th hole. nice. here is the 15th hole. steph, tied for eighth ahead of his dad and shot of the day belonged to on the par five 18. how about a two? first double eagle in the history of the tournament. he is tied for the leader with a hall of fame pitcher. go out to the golf course. go to a par five hole and try and nail it in two. then give me a call and tell me all about it. see you later. coming up on kpix5 and streaming on cbsn bay area, excessive heat warning prompting flex alerts. how will the power grid handle

the heat wave and will we see rolling power outages. president biden delivering a strong oh, i've traveled all over the country. talking about saving with geico. but that's the important bit, innit? showing up, saying “hello! fancy a nice chat?” then we talk like two old friends about sticky buns and all the savings you could get by bundling your home and car insurance. but here's the real secret. eye contact. you feel that? we just had a moment. [chuckles] who would've thought it? geico. save even more when you bundle home and car insurance.

welcome back. 6:29. thank you so much for joining us. i am devin fehely. let's start with a check of our

hot, hot, hot weather with meteorologist darren peck. >> you can probably add one more hot for some locations that are inland. if you are neare insufrom the m we have pulled in some clouds. it's made for a spectacular sun set. no clouds for san jose or really anywhere in the bay area except for the immediate golden gate and right through the east bay. this is where temperatures will climb to the mid 90s, san jose. you've got a heat advisory. in the tri valley, excessive heat warning. higher degree of messaging on how to best make sure you are taking care of yourself. we are in the low to mid 60s. if you look at where we are for daytime highs, inland locations go up to 107. that's a generalization. i will show you everybody's daytime high in a few minutes. you will see wide differences obviously from one part of the bay to the other.

cal iso urging public to conserve electricity to keep the power grid going. flex alert extended and now in place between 4:00 and 9:00 p.m. demand for the grid is normal. andria borba reports. >> reporter: with cal iso issuing stage one emergency the question is can the power grid handle the heat wave this weekend? >> when they know the supply will be tighter than expected, when they know peak demand for energy use between hours of 4:00 and 9:00, it will go up dramatically because of the heat. they call for rotating outages. there is no indication that they will call for rotating outages. >> stage one means there is a shortfall in the contingency reserves. it does not mean rolling black out yet. the call is conservation like setting thermostat to 78 if health allows and putting off

power sucking chores and distractions until later. >> save the dishes. save the laundry. save the video game playing until after 9:00 p.m. >> reporter: for folks in sun drenched contra costa the hope is the heat doesn't last too long. >> we can do it only a couple days and it makes it easier to stick with. we can conserve for the weekend. >> if you need to cool off check our website for a list of cooling centers near you. president biden called vladimir putin and warned the russian president saying u.s. will take any necessary action to stop russian hackers. weijia jiang has the latest. >> reporter: president biden is urging vladimir putin to reign in the ransomware attacks emanating from inside russia. >> the united states expects when a ransomware operation is coming even though it is not sponsored by the state, we

expect them to act. >> reporter: that's what the president told putin last month in geneva. since, russian based cyber criminals attacked a florida firm impacting up to 1500 small businesses. a russian entity may have hacked contractor for republican national committee. >> time to articulate to president putin that consequences on russia will be severe. >> reporter: official say they will take action against moscow in days and weeks ahead. president biden was asked if that should include attack on the servers the hackers used. >> yes. >> reporter: putin has denied any responsibility. he has the power to stop the attackers. >> he can take them and put them in jail and make sure they don't conduct further operations. president biden has tapped the los angeles mayor to serve as u.s. ambassador to india. the reaction to the

announcement and who might replace the mayor if he gets the new job. >> there is going to be a lot in city hall now. >> reporter: for the first time in a century, an l.a. mayor is stepping away before finishing their term. so the political scramble is starting to figure out who takes his place. most experts agree it is unlikely city would opt for special election with the vault already set for november 2022. city council has power to select someone to fill the term. it does not have to be a councilmember. who they pick could have major implications on the race. among the already declared and probable vying for top spot are a councilman, city attorney, developer, a former l.a. schools superintendent, and the council president. >> one of the things i think city council will be looking at is to try not to make it look like they're throwing the next mayoral race towards one of the

candidates. i could be wrong but i think city council will know there will be outcry if it looks like they are essentially choosing an heir apparent. a former state senator or former l.a. mayor are being mentioned as outside alternatives to hold the line. whoever is chosen, some say the timing could not be worse. >> i am very critical of the mayor because he made a promise, took an oath. now you need him most, he is bailing out for a cushy job. >> outrage is at a fever pitch. some say his immediate legacy will be determined by how successful next mayor is in addressing challenges. martinez will serve as acting mayor until interim is appointed. in a statement saying city is designed to adapt and sustain change and we will press on

they adapt, or how close they are to people. do you think this information could po pen chalcedonily help predict when or maybe where the next pandemic might break out. >> this will be a first step that will help. >> reporter: a building block where knowledge is power and a first line of defense. you think it's hot in the bay area, well, it is nothing like this. temperatures in death valley were measured at 130 degrees yesterday. if that becomes official it will tie highest verified temperature ever on planet earth. death valley reached 134 degrees in 1913. in 1931, a 131 reading in but there are questions about the accuracy. that tells a lot about the heat wave that once again is happening just outside the boundaries of the bay area.

we are so fortunate to be insulated in summer by the marine layer. if you are in the city or immediate bay, you are going to have no idea this is an hill for many east bay communities. the marine layer has worked back into the immediate st u see the bay bridge. it looks like it has it covered. it doesn't. this is the immediate opening of the golden gate, immediate east bay, goes into san pablo a little bit but doesn't have much of the rest of the bay covered. it's got the golden gate bridge under a deep blanket of gray. if we contrast that, there is not a cloud in the sky. this is what it looks like for majority of the area. san jose you have a heat advisory today with the temperatures potentially climbing to the low 90s. yesterday we managed upper 80s. you have just enough of benefit from on shore flow through

golden gate into the bay and just kind of creeping down far enough to san jose to help out. over here on the other side of the hill in the tri valley, no luck, no help. e temperatures worked up to 104 yesterday for the daytime high here. this is the camera above dublin. it was officially 104 in livermore yesterday. it will be hotter today. there is good news on the start of the day. we have you down to the mid 60s in livermore. yesterday you barely made it to 69 for a morning low and that meant a head start right out of the gate. you are still going to be just about as hot for afternoon. if you look at the north bay, low 50s. we are getting help. on shore flow is getting in through the petaluma gap. it will be sunshine for everybody. here is the excessive heat warning. notice it does not include the immediate bay but it focuses on

valleys of the east bay. it does not include valleys of the north bay but you get a heat advisory, not quite as ominous sounding as excessive heat warning but a heat advisory is still enough that you have to pay attention and go easy on yourself outside. same story in the santa clara valley. san jose, heat advisory. we hit 103 in concord yesterday. today it is 106. that's the top of the staircase. the numbers start coming down. sunday is 101, still hot. by monday it significantly improves back to the 80s. santa rosa 95 yesterday but the potential is back to 102 for the dahigh todunion city 85. cupertino hits 95. numbers are higher over here by

ten degrees if not more than that, 15 degrees, little higher over here for inland valleys of the east bay. they drop back off again as soon as you get to the bay. 80s, 70s, but climb to mid 90s for inland marin, low 100s for sonoma, lake, mendocino. then there is that improvement. and it sticks. we keep daytime highs for mid 80s for inland locations through much of next week. >> thank you. living in rural spots along the coast in south san mateo can be isolating and challenging. that is especially true for immigrant communities still learning english. we are introduced to this week's bay area jefferson award winner. farm workers get a ride to the community church for a
