north san jose, they said 75,000 jobs are on the line as a ta awaits approval of 6.2 0 0 in federal funding for bart extension. project into downtown san jose. said the project can't move. forward without it. waymo opened its robot taxi service to anyone in san francisco that means you don't have to be approved from their waitlist to catch a ride the mountain view based company says roughly 300,000 people have signed up for the service. since they launched in 2009. all right onto our 1st alert weather. now we're keeping an eye on possible showers and the threat of another. thunderstorm again. meteorologist darren peck is tracking it all from our virtual studio. hey, >>hey! good afternoon. alice. it was pretty busy morning. we have a few scattered showers, even a couple of strikes of lightning, which moved across parts of the north bay today in the south bay. if you look at 1st alert doppler now there's a lot going on over on the other side of the state. where there's really a complex of thunderstorms here at home.
3:05 pm
we're just watching the stragglers begin to clear out. there's a lot of stuff out here. that's not moving. that's just kind of clutter that the radar is depicting as the beam really is bouncing off the surface of the ocean. there's nothing out there. rain wise. you want to look for those lines of showers that are moving. keeping in mind that out here over the ocean. a lot of this stuff pretty elevated and may not actually be reaching the ground anyway, so we'd be concerned with what's happening here. through the north bay, thankfully, were not seeing any lightning detection on that you might get a few light showers. but it's a much quieter scenario from a chance of lightning standpoint, and here's the good news on how this is going to quiet down. watch what happens over the next few hours. we kind of clear out the leftover clouds from that, and then we go right back to normal. june. look what shows up tomorrow. tomorrow morning and the marine layer is going to be back in so once we really get past about, say, 4:00 4:00 5:00 this afternoon. this interesting short lived little break in regularly. scheduled programming and the weather world is going to be over with and what we want to
3:06 pm
see for tomorrow is to go back to watching just how widespread the marine layer will be. for wednesday morning, and that's about as for inland is it's going to get going to wake up to gray skies over the city. we're going to see that fill in much of the immediate east bay. i don't think it will really intrude too far inland, although the tri valley will probably get a little bit of gray. to start off the morning, however, if ireland gets its done by noon, and we'll have more sunshine than anything else, there is a more significant pattern now in control of the cool down for us, you'd never know it on the regular satellite. but when you look at the water vapor, now something definitely appears off the coast. that's a deep trough digging itself a trench right here. and when we visualized the air temperature in the atmosphere instead of visualizing where the trough is, you'll see. there is a big pool of cool air there. that's about to ... heads with the center of warmth that had been warming us up so much over the course of the last week and a half or so and as a result, we're not vulnerable. to seeing the big spikes and heat that we've been dealing with. for the past several weeks really on again off again that big
3:07 pm
surge of cool air we just watched is going to beat most of that back, and we find ourselves looking at average daytime highs here now. you pick out your number for tomorrow? whatever part of the bay you're in, and when we get to the 70 forecast in 1/2, you can see these numbers are sticking around for a while. so if you're inland, you're numbers are down into the low 80s, which is exactly where you should be this time of year, so we've got some average temperatures coming your way. north bay. same story. south bay. same story and mid 60s for the city with morning marine layer gray. that's basically the drill. let's see what it looks like in the 7 day forecast. we'll start out with our inland microclimate. it's a lot of low to mid 80s back here, there is a little bit of a warmup once we get back to earth. early next week, so we going to get about 5 day stretch. where we're under the influence. of that cooler air, but then we're going to start rebounding again a bit once we get towards the early and middle part of next week and just to round out our 7 day forecast, let's get on. micro climate in the interior of the bay, where the numbers are not nearly that warm, but you will be near 80 in general as we get towards early next week. all
3:08 pm
right, liz, back to you, >>daryn. thanks so much. the mental health of our kids is top of mind for the u. s. surgeon general. he says children are suffering. at the hands of social media and he's calling on congress to take action. in fact, a gallup poll showed on average. teams spend nearly 5 hours a day on social media. and other research shows. adolescents who spent more than 3 hours a day on social media. face double the risk of anxiety. and depression. are kevin koe has more on why some say all that scrolling can be so harmful. kate. >>bethea is a gens ear who was addicted to social media. >>fed for about 5 hours. 8 hours it's kind of like sleep paralysis, like you know, you're like in a dream village. you can't get >>out once she realized she was addicted. thenager says she wasn't sure what to do >>scary because i had no 1
3:09 pm
takes any because my parents had no idea how to use social media and how it works. really, so i feel a story. generations the 1st to experience inset, and we kind of experienced it by yourself. so um, as i got into social media and start to see the negative impacts of social media both mentally and physically the last decade for sure we're seeing a rise in mental health concerns. and young people. and while we may not be able to pull it it an absolute direct correlation between social media and those mental health concerns um we are seeing some pretty clear. indications. that excessive social media use can lead to mental health concerns like worsening anxiety and depression. >>doctor lynette shoe is a child and adolescent psychiatrist. at kaiser permanente in santa clara >>exposure to social media. and it is ways of engaging with you can change things like dopamine
3:10 pm
pathways. and can lead to patterns that looked like addiction. so even though we're saying it's not a substance right? the way our brains interact with it can create addiction behavior like pattern. >>that's why dr shu supports the us surgeon general vivek murthy, is new push. calling for warning labels on social media platforms. >>i really respect the steps that are being taken to secure the better mental health of our of our young people, >>murthy says warning labels would state social media is associated with significant mental health harms. and not been proved safe to use. similar to warning labels on nicotine products. >>according the warning labels. can perhaps empower parents to be able to engage with their young people? to perhaps even engaged as the whole family around how we can make sure that, um we are managing this resource. responsibly. >>exact. that's exactly what happened with kayla when she
3:11 pm
finally logged off of social media. >>it wasn't hard for you taking the break. and it definitely was. but luckily my parents helped me, they set time limits on my phone. so parents have an equal. responsibility for ensuring that their kids are safe online. now metta, for its part, has not commented, but company officials did to propose legislation. to require stores to get a parent's approval. before a teen, uh under the the age of 16 downloads that particular app. the company also says that other research shows positive. benefits for teens from social media. last year, a federal lawsuit filed in 41 states. including california accused meta of knowingly designing and deploying. features to keep younger users online. longer violating the children's online privacy. protection act and collecting data on children under the age of 13. still ahead, we'll take a closer look at the potential risks of social media, a psychologist
3:12 pm
from the child mind institute, joins me next to talk about the impact on our kids. plus, it's soon should social media and cellphones phones be banned at school. how governor newsom is pushing students to focus on their studies. and not their screens.
3:13 pm
3:14 pm
3:15 pm
>>this half hour we're talking about a push by the us surgeon gen. to put a warning. label. on social media and about the impact of social media on our kids and teens. a stanford psychiatry expert tells us it goes beyond potential addiction. my, uh crystal work has focused a lot on changes in personality. negative change. personality that happened online from an increase in impulsivity. and aggression and narcissism. all these things are nurtured on social media. unfortunately, so the warning is is a welcome. milestone. and the history of online. psychology. the question is whether it's too little too late. well, more and more school districts are actually banning the use of cellphones during school hours, calling
3:16 pm
them a distraction and a potential threat to students. mental health and some entire states have also made the move. most recently. new york state net choice which represents meta and google, among other major tech company, says the new york law will violate the first amendment and sensors. free speech online. the attorney general will be responsible for enforcement, and they can enforce at will. that's a decision that should be left up to parents. not government and not silicon valley. governor gavin newsom says he also wants to ban smartphones. during school hours. statewide after california's largest school district, ella, eh, voted to make that move reporter madison key v talked to parents about this push. >>that brings out strong opinions from los angeles. kids should not have phones. they should not have smartphones. to sacramento. about social media and how we need to parents through social media with our kids. alexander is a data of 3
3:17 pm
they're too young for social media, and cellphones. but that hasn't stopped those parental concerns. likely won't have social media until maybe their senior year of high school until they're in college. where they can make that decision. themselves. just because we've seen the negative effects. effects. that have governor gavin newsom calling to crack down with legislation. he vowed to severely restrict the use of smartphones during the school day. a move some parents already put into action. no cellphones escort the moment but also to understand like the other side of it, you know, with all the kind of stuff that happens at school that very unfortunate is like you always have that worry in the back of your head, so you kind of want to have that capability of contacting them that perspective shared by a los angeles teacher at a district that already implemented restrictions. there is that pushback from parents but again, i think that education keep pieces key and collaborative process where
3:18 pm
parents and families are involved in figuring out how do we enforce this at our school? >>so tricky joining me now is dr omar godineaux. a senior psychologist and deputy clinical director at the child mind institute. thanks so much for being with >>us. thank you for having >>me. so what do you think? should schools be banning? cell phones and therefore, social media? >>it's such a tricky question. there's so many pieces to if they want to think about. we want to think about how much time kids are spending on it. we also want to think about what's the impact on the kids, right? we really want to think about tailoring it to the age of the child and really, to their level of functioning. is this child able to keep up with other things are they maintained their friendships, so it's really finding that balance of what works for that kid in that family, >>so should there be a warning label on social media like the surgeon general's recommending >>the part that i think is really important is that it's a concern that we have right and we want to make sure you want to. we want to really think about the well being of kids and right now what? the surgeon general is highlighting is that we don't we're missing a lot of information. there lots of things that we don't know. but what we do know is that kids are using a lot of social media. multiple hours a day, as
3:19 pm
you mentioned before. and that there is this association between the number of hours kids spend and their mental health symptoms. and that it's especially problematic for kids that already have mental health problems or those that are at heightened risk. so it's really a way for us to say we need to pay more attention to this really raise awareness around the issue. >>what do you think? parents responsibility? because so much of this is social currency >>at >>school. people are saying, you know, the kids are going it back to school and saying, oh, did you see what happened on >>absolutely. >>this video and so there's an element there that you don't want your child to be totally left out. >>absolutely. >>some boundaries >>so there's a couple of pieces here and that 1 is really thinking about the benefits of social media, right. you just mentioned information sharing, connecting to others. there's many good things, potentially about social media. but but the problem is, how do we manage that within day to day life and as you mentioned 1 thing parents can really do is talk about banning together with other parents. what are the norms that we're setting within our own family, but also what are the norms within our friend groups so really being able to talk about how we're
3:20 pm
negotiating? the amount of time kids spend and we're doing that with with our colleagues in communities? so that there isn't this sense that the child is the only not not accessing social media. >>it's hard because kids are so tech savvy. >>these absolutely >>matter of saying, ok, your home. >>i'm going >>to take your phone until you go to school or not. until you come home from school. i mean, how do you kind of >>balance >>that >>it's such a key part of daily life to write many kids need those to be online for homework or for for other purposes, so it's really about being able to monitor what kids are doing during that time right? that there's a very there's a difference between maybe spending hours doing math homework. or talking to grandparents online. spending hours doing something that may be much increase their risk for mental health difficulties. so we're really thinking about what's the content? and how are they engaging in social media? >>what about screen >>time? >>because obviously, kids are looking at social media on their phones on, you know their tablets, but they're also playing video games. >>absolutely.
3:21 pm
>>watching videos. we know that there is that dopamine hit >>that >>kids get when they're taking in this content. so what about those? are you seeing the same destructive behavior from video >>games >>and videos that you are from social media are the 2 things different? >>absolutely a lot of overlap. so when we think about our own research at the child mind institute more than half of kids are spending 4 to 6 hours a day online generally not just social media apps, so we're thinking again about how our kids using technology how our kids engaging with the internet. that there's a real potential there for the kinds of content they're going to be exposed to, and the other piece is really thinking about brain development, right thinking about where your child is in terms of their brain development, so we're talking about kids at a time. where there really sensitive to things like peer influences. reinforcement. uhm uhm and at a time where it's really hard for them to put the brakes on things to really stop their behavior and inhibit, so it's a really risky time and when what you're suggesting is that there's lots of ways to engage with media with the
3:22 pm
>>burnett >>to be online with technology. and it's really hard to have 1 blanket statement that says it's all problematic. it's not so going back to your previous points. it's really about helping parents think about how are we helping kids navigate this until we have more information? >>and i know a lot of parents are probably watching this thinking. ok, well, you know, i can't stop them from using their screens because they also need to use it for school. a lot >>of them >>assignments are on there. and so it's kind of this tricky dance of knowing when, okay, this is appropriate amount of time. >>but >>anything over this amount >>is absolutely >>not beneficial to my child. do you think that we're close to getting a concrete number on that? and how much time >>i think there's some good information out there and i would invite people to visit child in mind to work for more specific information, but really, it's about matching the kids where they are. so it's really thinking about what is the need for the child. what needs do they have in terms of their technology use and how much can parents really monitor what they're doing? so it's really about having those clear. boundaries and expectations within the family. it's also about modeling how we use social media to right to really thinking about what
3:23 pm
examples we're setting for kids. >>no question >>the really important pieces having those conversations right? this is an ongoing conversation it's not a 1 time rule that somebody gets to make its really about monitoring. negotiating. and really understanding how media is impacting your child. >>i think so many parents struggle because this wasn't something that a lot of them grew up with. so >>this >>is a have it now and it's >>a >>real part of their lives now, but in terms of child development. this >>was >>you had to >>deal with and it's changing all the time. so even as we learn about it, and it evolves yeah. >>so much >>for joining us. us. >>godino. thank you. well, still ahead, while some experts say we need to bring back boredom. >>yeah. yeah.
3:24 pm
3:25 pm
3:26 pm
yeah. now we've talked a lot about the us surgeon general call for a warning. label on social me. a at about school systems moving toward banning cell phones on campus. but of course, these plans take time. so how to parents keep them from getting sucked. into
3:27 pm
more and more screen time now. well, the founder of the digital wellness lab at boston children's hospital says. we need to bring back boredom. pilet with what ifs and dreams and let's do this as opposed to defaulting to a screen and basically giving over our attention and our mind. to someone else. founder and ceo of the family online safety institute is also weighing in, he says he would like congress to act on online privacy and safety and for tech companies to be more responsible. but for now, he says, household. should be making the rules.
3:28 pm
3:29 pm
3:30 pm
well, thank you so much for joining us for today's conversation. on the potential risks of social me. we love to hear what you think. should platforms. post warning labels should schools banned cellphones altogether. poster thoughts online using the hashtag kpi x the cbs evening news is up >> this is bad. this is really bad. >> norah: tonight, relentless storms for the midwest already reeling from catastrophic flooding. >> all this destruction you see around me, not a hurricane, not an earthquake. it was all done by a flood. >> norah: homes destroyed, roadways collapsed, and the concern tonight about that at
