Today in the bays kris sanchez joins us in campbell where the summit will get under way in a few hours. Kris . Reporter hi, laura. This is something the nbc bay area Investigative Unit reported on extensively. The fact there are sometimes a lack of procedures and processes in place that means that sometimes lgbtq folks forego vital services. Pride is on full display with parades and rainbow flags this month, but this summit goes a step further, working to make sure that santa clara counties address the needs of gender, nonbinary nonconforming people. The director of Lgbtq Services means everything from housing and clinics and hospitals to making sure people understand how to make inclusive workplaces and schools. As part of a twoyear investigation, the nbc bay area unit surveyed 20 of the Largest School districts in our nine bay area counties to see which had policies and procedures in place and which were providing training to faculty and staff.

They love that. We have some beautiful weather in the forecast today, at least to start. Some of the valleys will be heating up today, and we already have clear skies over walnut creek and those temperatures will be warming up a little bit more quickly compared to yesterday. So we walk out the door to some upper 50s. If you wait until about 10 00, it will be 71 degrees and then 81 degrees at 1 00, as we head into the mid 80s there, and as you take your dog out walking, you may still be sneezing. We have a lot of grass and weed pollen, mostly ragweed right now floating through the air. Well talk about a hotter weekend forecast and mike you were saying the crash has been cheered from san jose. The one we were tracking on 280 cleared. No reports of slowing, just slowing for north 101, the typical pattern as we enter the friday lighter commute. The commute is kicking in still. Southbound 880 slows toward mission but the crash again the updated location is just past mission at warren. Its at the offramp there, the offramp is open but theres a jack knifed big rig on the shoulder and that distraction may be enough to set off extra slowing. Not a manjor issue. The routes out of the trivalley moving smoothly. Dublin interchange a little dip in speeds, the same south 880 hayward toward 92 and no real problems toward the bay bridge, great drive down the upper east shore. Back to you. Thanks, mike.

Right now at 6 13, lets get a live look in palo alto, before you head out the door. Were going to see a few clouds but it all clears up and our temperatures warm up into the upper 70s by early afternoon. We have some nice weather for today. This last few hours of spring well talk about whats ahead for our first weekend of summer, coming up in less than five minutes. The richmond side the toll plaza headed toward san rafael. We have a problem, might not look like it from the smoothly flowing traffic but ill point that out. Good morning. Im Bertha Coombs at cnbc headquarters. Here are todays top business headlines. Wall street is set to just pull back slightly this morning following yesterdays big rally. The dow jumping nearly 250 points closing at its highest level since last october. The s p 500 index hitting a new alltime high sparked by the Federal Reserve signaling this week that an Interest Rate cut may be coming later this year. Oil prices continue to move higher today. Gasoline prices are higher this morning, with a big refinery fire here on the east coast. The house of representatives is jumping into the fight against robo calls. Lawmakers introducing a bipartisan bill yesterday, it would require carriers to validate caller i. D. Numbers, eliminate fake calls that appear to be coming from your area, they call that spoofing and offering Call Blocking services for free, and it would authorize the sec to go after companies responsible for robo calls. The bill now goes to committee. The Senate Passed a similar bill last month. Mcdonalds is going hightech as it tries to speed up what happens when you order. The wall street journal says mcdonalds is testing Voice Recognition software at the drivethru window at one location in the chicago suburbs. It will likely expand that to other locations. What happens is when you order inside, a robot would toss the fried foods like chicken, fish and fries into the deep fryer. Mcdonalds is working to streamline operations as it faces more competition from smaller burger chains and an overall drop in fast food traffic. I got to tell you, marcus and laura, this distresses me because my first job was at mcdonalds. I remember discovering apple pies were fried. They claim its not to eliminate jobs but you got to wonder with that kind of automation what does it mean for folks looking for their first job. I hope the robot can understand you. The early speakers, were like ill have chicken what . Chicken nuggets . Wah, ah, ah, wah. Thats right. A frightening new study has us checking the back of our heads. It turns out too much phone time could cause horns to grow in your skull. Researchers say the issue comes from hunching over to view those screens. On xrays australian researchers found young people are tending to develop the horns which are bone spurs. Its really scary. Its a big find, tits a big sign. It tells us were changing the physical aspects of human beings. Hmm. So look, when your mom says hey, sit up straight you might want to listen this time. No one wants to walk around with horns. You look so what is in the back of your head . I wonder if that could form from looking at computer screens, being at work. Oh my gosh. But its true. Hunched over. Back in the day before we had ear horns, i remember why not when reading books . Look at the tv screen and lets talk about the weather today, get outside and enyoi it. We have some, a little bit of a cool start but a warm afternoon. Head to sunol with a live look outside, going above the clouds. Looks like a beautiful sunrise this morning, at 56 degrees there and we can see the clouds from tiburon this morning as we are also going to have a slightly warmer day in the city and more sun. Lets go to the north bay, santa rosa heading out to the park, we start out the morning with a few clouds and need for a jacket in the low 50s. At 10 00 were warming up, in the upper 60s but comfortable and heating up today into the low 80s and then the winds pick up this evening. Here is a look at our high temperatures today. Well reach 84 degrees in livermore. 86 in concord. San francisco staying at 6 of degrees and the fog close to Half Moon Bay keeps it in the low 60s with palo alto and san jose reaching 82. The cool weather and the break from that high heat that we had was all thanks to an area of low pressure that passed to the north of us and brought some showers to the pacific northwest. And for us, we are going to see a shift in the wind direction going into the weekend thats going to mac it hot. Next week another low is dropping in just staying to the north of us but it will provide a stronger onshore wind flow and cooler temperatures going into next week. We just have to make it through this weekend, where our inland valleys reach into the low 90s. Some gusty winds and monday its still warm but look at the dropoff in temperatures tuesday reaching 78 degrees thats inland. San francisco will drop into the lower 60s, more clouds than fog and were going to get a little bit more sun in time for the weekend. Mike, one crew is working late on a friday. Once theyre done, theyre on to the weekend. We showed you the crew before 5 00, they should be in the final clearing stages. Still in the clearing stage at the toll plaza that does reduce capacity by two lanes. Traffic looking all right. Fast track is all right, hov is okay. Cash lane a little less capacity but less traffic as well keeps things moving smoothly off of richmond and the east shore freeway. The bay bridge toll plaza also has your metering lights on and thats got your standard backup, no problems through or out of the maze. A nice drive, a crash reported somewhere in oakland off the nimitz. Sounds like everything is off the shoulder. Well check that drive. South 880 shows the ohm other real slowing, south bay, peninsula, trivalley move smoothly. It is south 880 as you approach warren here and i believe its behind this tree the warren offramp is there, looking at a disabled truck, actually a truck crash thats stuck over on the shoulder and out of lanes, but at least its a distraction to fremont. Back to you. Thank you, mike. Next for you a religious police force could soon be the thing in one southern state. The law alabamas governor just signed. At 6 30, a massive explosion and fireball, the dramatic scene unfolding at a refinery out east overnight. But first these are emergencies where seconds count. Will your Smart Speaker save your life . The sound the device can listen for to get you help faster during a heart attack. Much more ahead right here on today in the bay. 6 20. 6 23 for you right now. A live look at sfo this morning. In a few hours workers responsible for making sure you have food and drinks will discuss going on strike. An informational picket will be held this afternoon at the airport. Nearly 100 of the workers voted to go on strike this month, among the employees for Major Airlines like delta, united and american in 20 other cities across the country. They say they arent getting paid enough and cant afford health care. Weve learned new insight today about the recent suspicious deaths of nine americans in the dominican republic. The ministry of tourism plans to hold a news conference. Officials are expected to speak about the americans autopsies and share why they died after becoming suddenly ill. According to fox news, Christopher Wallace lived in modesto and grew up in redwood city. U. S. Officials previously said there isnt enough evidence to show these deaths are linked. Alabamas governor is allowing a church to establish its own police force. Those officers will have the authority to make arrests. Theyll also have the authority over the churchs private school campuses. Church Officials Say the measure is necessary to provide Adequate Security for the 2,000 students and faculty there. The aclu says the law could allow the church to cover up criminal activity and expects it to be challenged. The state of missouri must decide today whether its only Abortion Clinic will have its license renewed. Its only open now due to a temporary injunction. 6 25 for you this morning. About half of a Million People in america die from cardiac arrest. Many of those cases its because they didnt get help fast enough. But now theres a way that smart assistants like alexa could change all that. Researchers say an algorithm can identify whats known as agono breathing with 97 of accuracy within 20 feet. Devices like amazons echo or google home could potentially use the app to listen for that dangerous warning sign. Before the device calls 911, it would issue a warning with a chance for to you cancel. Our vision is really that these Smart Speakers such as alexa can reside passively in your bedroom and continuously monitor your breathing. If youre concerned that monitoring sounds like spying, researchers say the app was built with privacy in mind. None of the information is sent to the internet or third party devices. Still ahead for you here at 6 30, he hit him. Using both his fists in a shoving motion, struck our deputy in the jaw. Thats what Alameda County sheriff says happened after the raptors won the nba title at oracle. The details authorities are offering as new images emerge. Plus connecting the killings, police now charging the same man with two homicides, after a grisly week in San Mateo County. But first, incredible video into our newsroom overnight. Look at this. Its a philly fireball. A refinery explosion lighting up the night sky out east. What we know about how it started, coming up after the break. Youre watching today in the bay. Right now at 6 30, taking a live look outside right now, the bay bridge oh, about you it is friday. If that sight doesnt impress you too much. Good morning, thanks for starting your morning here with us. Im marcus washington. And im laura garcia. Its the last few hours of spring right now. Summer is kicking in at 8 54. Kari has a look at the forecast. A slightly warmer day compared to yesterday. Weve had a nice cooldown and we still have the low clouds over San Francisco while the sun is rising. Out to plez an hill headed to the bate station upper 50s there and the next couple of hours in the upper 60s, upper 70s at noon. Quick warmup today. Mike you say theres a jack knifed big rig. Headed toward milpitas out of fremont. I circled it right there. Its off of the roadway. So this is the warren avenue exit around mission boulevard, probably a better locator for folks who arent familiar with the area. Theres slowing for the distraction but not a lot. As the crews arife, i dont know when that will be to clear the big rig and likely have to clear one lane and youll probably sew soom slowing through the area. We see over the last half hour as folks tap the brakes to see whats going on with the chp and find the rig and get a little stunned. 680 youre just fine, shouldnt have a problem making that interchange and the rest of the day shows an easy light friday drive. The backup at the bay bridge toll plaza and slowing out of richmond and toward san rafael. Back to you. Thanks so much, mike. 6 31. New video of a massive inferno. Look at the size of it. This is the result of an explosion at a south philadelphia refinery overnight. The massive fire and thick plume of smoke that followed could be seen from far away, homes as far as south new jersey could see it. It is the largest refinery on the east coast. So far no reports of injuries. This is a live look at the scene. Things have calmed down. Hours after it happened, crews remain on scene. The plant makes gasoline, jet fuel and petrochemicals. No word on the cause. New details the suspect link to murders on skyline boulevard on the peninsula, officially being charged. 26yearold Malik Dosouqi is being held at the San Mateo County jail, charged in connection to the stabbing death of John Sione Pekipaki and taxi cab driver abdulkarem nasher. Its a story weve covered all week on today in the bay. One of the homicides happened monday night, the second happened tuesday in the same remote area. 6 32 for right now. New details saying there is clear evidence the president of the were to toe raptors hit a deputy after the game last week. This is a live look outside oracle arena in oakland. Bob redell is live outside of the arena. Talk to us about what that video shows. Reporter marcus, we understand it comes from two sources, the security cam inside oracle arena behind me and the deputys body cam, and it shows the Toronto Raptors president using both his fists in a shoving motion and hitting that deputy in the jaw. This is according to Alameda County sergeant ray kelly, who spoke with our own raj mathai last night. You recall we broke this story last week. As you can see in our exclusive video shows the aftermath. Masai ujiri, the toronto team collective, being separated from the deputy, after the alleged altercation. We confirmed the globe and mail newspaper in toronto has seen the video images and verifies what Sergeant Kelly is describing. Sergeant kelly says the deputy was just doing his job, checking for proper credentials for people, trying to enter the Basketball Court after the raptors beat the warriors to win the nba championship. He tried to force his way pass our deputy. Our deputy did his job the way hes supposed to, to protect the court especially at a highprofile event of National Security significance, and he did his job and did it correctly. Mr. Ujiri then came back and, in a very aggressive manner, confronted our deputy and at that point, using both his fists in a shoving motion, struck our deputy in the jaw. Reporter Sergeant Kelly also said the deputy suffered a concussion and is now getting death threats. The sheriff was recommending charges be filed against ujiri. That decision will be made by the district attorney. Reporting live in oakland, bob redell, today in the bay. Thanks, bob. 6 34 right now. A controversial issue in the bay area is expected to get attention in oakland today. The city is set to open its first pilot site as part of its rv safe parking program. You recall last week Mountain View city Council Voted to delay considering proposed restrictions on rvs. In the meantime, palo alto discussed creating a safe park area for rvs earlier this month. Berkeley passed an overnight ban on parking several months ago. If your plans are to hit the wineries in napa today, be prepared.

Lesley jones and colin joust from snl will appear and john mullaney, Patton Oswalt and issa ray. You know what . This runs throughout the weekend, and many different venues throughout the city. Mike, you are a comedian guy yourself, moonlighting as a comedian after youre finished with your traffic duties.

You may see me outside some of the venues looking like this so i can see. Looking over here trying to see what was going on at the toll plaza for the richmond side of the richmondsan rafael bridge and it is clear of all construction crews.
