california and involve children ages 2 to 13. officials say they expect to see more cases in california in the coming weeks. enjoyable weather in store for if final weekend of summer. outdoor clouds are slowly clearing. lingering patchy fog in the berkeley area. you can see low clouds up against the coast and just into the east bay. so that system that brought us a little bit of rain yesterday now just off the coast of southern california it will remain there for today. it will be partly cloudy to mostly sunny. drier weather is pulling in. weather will be mild to warm. upper 60s in oakland and 73 i should say in the forecast. good looking weekend in store. we have temperatures that will be very similar. >> thank you. we want to take you in fact

now live to new york where the commissioner of the nfl is about to address the recent rash of off field domestic violence issues. let's listen in. >> i got it wrong in the handling of the ray rice matter and i'm sorry for that. i got it wrong on a number of levels from the process that i lead to the decision that i reached. but now i will get it right and do whatever is necessary to accomplish that. first i don't expect anyone just to take my word. last week i asked former fbi director to conduct an independent investigation to answer the questions raised about our process in reviewing ray rice's conduct. i pledged that director miller

will have full cooper ration and access. we all look forward to his report and findings. i promise you that any shortcomings he finds and how we dealt with the situation will lead to swift action. the same mistakes can never be repeated. we will do whatever it is necessary to ensure that we are thorough in our review process and that our conclusions are reliable. we will get our house in order first. second and most importantly, these incidents demonstrate that we can use the nfl to help create change not only in our league but in society with respect to domestic violence and sexual assault. we are taking a number of steps. on august 28th i said that the

entire nfl would receive comprehensive information and resources and support systems for victims on domestic violence and sexual assault. we will re-examine, enhance and improve all of our current programs and then we'll do more. earlier today each nfl club and all of our league office locations resued information about advocacy and support organizations in their communities. in addition our teams and league staff, everyone will participate in education sessions starting in the next month followed by training programs. these programs are being developed by a top group of experts, some of them were announced earlier in the week. we will continue to identify

and add expertise to our team. and we will ask the nfl players association to help us deliver these programs in the most effective way. third, we recognize that domestic violence and sexual assault exist everywhere, in every community, economic class, racial and ethnic group, it effects all of us. these are problems we are committed to addressing but we cannot solve them by ourselves. law enforcement, the criminal justice system, social service organizations and families are the cornerstones to addressing this problem. for our part we can add and we will do more.

do begin we have entered into long term partnership with two leading national organizations. the national domestic violence hot line and the national sexual violence resource center. the hot line received an 84% increase in call volume just last week. they did not have the resources to reach even half of those calls. they need our help. we are providing it. fourth, we strongly strongly condemn and will punish behavior that is totally unacceptable. domestic violence including child abuse, sexual assault, irresponsible ownership or handling of firearms, the illegal use of alcohol or

drugs, these activities must be condemned and stopped through education and discipline. our -- consequences are falling short. they must be fair and transparent. this is a central issue today. i'm here now because our rules, policies and procedures on personal conduct failed to ensure that this high standard is met. but i want to make it clear, these are very complex issues. our country has a legal system that everyone needs to respect. when there is evidence of misconduct by anyone in the nfl we need to carefully

consider when to act and on what evidence. everyone deserves a fair process. you know i feel passionatly that working in the nfl is a privilege, something we must earn every day and never take for granted. the vast majority of coaches, owners and employees in the nfl stand tall not only for their role in the game but for what they do in their communities. to get all of this right we will bring together our players and their union representatives, coaches, owners and outside experts who can help us set the right standards and identify the right procedures. i have discussed these challenges with the players association executive director smith. he shares my opinion that domestic violence and sexual

assault have no place in the nfl. he and i will meet next week to help us live up to the standards that our fans deserve and that we set for ourselves. i will be asking these experts to examine all current nfl policies related to employee and player conduct and discipline. they will address how to balance due process rights for those accused with the need to hold our personnel to the highest standards. they should also consider the current system for determining violations including my role in the process. there will be changes to our personal conduct policy. i know this because we will make it happen. nothing is off the table.

let me say it again, we will impliment new conduct policies. they will have a set of clear and transparent rules for league and club personnel, owners and players. my goal is to complete this by the you super bowl. football and the nfl have always changed and improved. we drive changes in the game through our competition committee. it reviews and updates the rules to govern the game on the field. through this process of evaluation reform we keep the game come pettive, entertaining, fair and most importantly do everything we can to protect our players on the field from injury. we go to enormous lengths to make sure players, coaches, officials, fans, our broadcast partners fully understand our

playing rules and how they are enforced. that must now be our motto when it comes to personal conduct. so like other league committeing i'm establishing a committee to review rules in the months and years to come and ensure we are always living with the best practices. there is no reason we cannot be as transparent and as effective on these issues as we are with the game on the field. i believe in accountability. i understand the challenges before me and i will be held accountable for meeting them. every day so many of our players, coaches and staff are doing tremendous things in their communities. i couldn't be more proud of how they are using the opportunity

to help make a positive difference. today i ask everyone as part of the nfl to join me in making positive and significant changes going forward. i'll take you questions. yes? peter alexander from nbc news. appreciate your time. >> sure. >> reporter: if it had been someone you loved would you be satisfied with the way the league handled this crisis and what would you say to them? >> i am not satisfied with the way we handled it from the get go. as i sold you and this statement indicates, i made a mistake. i'm not satisfied with the process that we went through. i'm not satisfied with the conclusions. that's why we came out last month on august 28th and we said we are going to make changes to our policies. we made changes to our discipline. we knowledged the mistakes, my mistakes and we said we are

going to do better going forward. we have a set of complex issues. that's not excuse. we need to go and get experts to help us. how do we do this? how do we restructure our personal conduct policy and expect the kind of behaviors we expect to make sure that we educate, we train, we do everything possible to hit that mark for all of us and when we don't there will have to be consequences for that. into so i'm not satisfied with what we did. i let everybody else down. for that i'm sorry, i i mentioned earlier. that's what we are going to correct and that's what we are going to fix. >> reporter: you have had pretty extreme unilateral power in deciding discipline. as you said a few times you got it wrong in a a few case. how will have you to give up some of that power and do you

think that would be the right thing for you to do? >> as i said in my statement everything is on the table. we are going to make sure that we look it every aspect of the process of how we gather information to make a decision, how we make that decision and then the appeals process and all of that is on the table and all of that is important information that we want outside experts to give us perspective on and see if there's a better way to do it. we believe there is and we need it. we can't continue to operate like this. >> reporter: you mentioned you guys checked and tried to get the ray rice video and any information. the atlantic city operations department says they don't have any documentation of you asking for the video can you tells how you did that so people can know what you put into it? >> certainly our security department works with law

enforcement. they are fully cooperative. we gather almost all of our information through law enforcement and that's something else we are going to look at, rachel. is that the right process? should all of our information be gathered simply through law enforcement. we respect what job they have to do and there are certain restrictions they ma be under -- may be under.
