Reporter economic recovery lets take a look at our air delayed by a president who said quality as we are going to see hes cured of covid two days still some smoke coming in for after leaving the hospital. Today. Were watching the north bay tracie potts, nbc news. Because it will still be all right, so, while we sort unhealthy out there. Out of the details of the next weve seen that smoke drifting else where across the bay area president ial debate, how about a and the spare the air alert does look at last nights vice continue for today even though president ial debate. Well have much cooler it was watched by millions of temperatures and clouds moving people. There were some occasionally in. Its going to be a nice day temperature wise. Tense exchanges, including this but air quality youll need to one over the pandemic and the response. Watch tha they knew and they covered it up. The president said it was a hoax. They minimized the seriousness of it. We were able to see to the delivery of billions of supplies so our doctors and nurses had the resources and support they needed. And we began really before the month of february was hard to develop a vaccine. The candidates separated by plexiglass also traded shots on the economy and an issue important to Many Americans right now, racial injustice. The president of the United States took a debate stage in front of 70 million americans and refused to condemn White Supremacists. He condemned the kkk, neonazis and White Supremacists and has done so repeatedly. This, of course, was the only Vice President ial debate. Both candidates are expected to be back on the campaign trail later today. Now even as more and more people work from home, if theyre still lucky enough to have jobs, google plans to build its massive new development in downtown san jose. The plan is called downtown west. Today in the bay live in san jose to show us how the plans are moving forward and maybe changing because of how were changing how we work, sharon. Thats right, kris. You know, this project would bring a lot more office space to this area for google but also because so many people are working from home. It would provide six times more than housing than the original plan before the pandemic. Google and the city are working on this massive project described as a city within a city. There will be Community Hearings and a vote on the project in spring next year. Google says the site will include 4,000 Housing Units and 25 of that affordable housing. This all comes at a time when home prices are still high while rent prices continue to drop. Rent prices are down 10 in san jose and oakland. And 20 down in San Francisco. Bay area home prices continue to reach unprecedented levels. The median sale price for a Single Family home in the bay area was 975,000 in august. Thats up 16 from a year ago. As weve heard before, the limited supply of houses is the main reason behind the higher prices. Also, more and more people are working from home now. Realtors say tech workers and other professionals want more space for family and home offices. And, of course, San Jose City leaders say they very much appreciate that google is still moving forward with this project during the pandemic. Reporting live in san jose, im sharon katsuda, today in the bay. Thank you so much, sharon. 5 09 right now. Four bay area counties are not meeting californias new equitie metrics when it comes to treating coronavirus. Issued their first report which is meant to show treatment despairties in the largest counties. Its also now included as part of the color coded tier assessment system allowing counties to reopen. San francisco, contra costa and sonoma counties are all not meeting target goals. Eight other california counties also are set to have missed the mark. San Francisco Muni operators who enforce mask rules are reportedly more likely to be physically and verbally assaulted by riders. The examiner says data from mta finds between april and august there were 31 reported physical attacks on operators and 120 reported verbal attacks. Nine of the attacks were mask related while more than half of the 120 verbal altercations also had to do with masks. Its 5 10 right now. Kari has a look at our cool down that is headed our way. Little feeling of fog in the air. Yeah. Its going to be so nice today. Its been a long time since weve even had some near normal temperatures. So, the cool down will be welcomed. As you get ready to head out the door thisern moi morning, maybeg out to the dublin b. A. R. T. Station. More clouds moving in and it is going to be very slow to warm up today as we only reach into the low to mid 60s by noon today and thats because our high temperatures will only reach into the low 70s. Were up to 71 degrees in livermore and 70 in san jose and 60s in palo alto and 71 today in santa rosa. Well talk more about this cool down and our rain chances if well see any. Thats coming up. Mike, how is it looking right now for the commute . Kari, still talking about this going on since early morning. Before 4 00 this overturned rig were looking at up in northbound 101 in san jose. There you see it across the lanes. It looks like a lane of traffic. Really that shoulder in the Center Divide area and look in the distance. All the headlights jammed up here on the map and youll see that, as well. Folks squeezing by and only that service area on the left side but the map shows you the backup extending past silver creek area and almost back towards the 85 1 01 split. C, had chp says it will be 5 30 before they clear that. No tow truck yet. The rest of the bay outside of north 101 through san jose looks great. Back over to you. All right, busy morning out there. Thank you, mike. 5 11 right now. Out on bail. Still ahead at 5 25 on today in the bay an update on the overnight protests in minneapolis hours after the former officer charged in the george floyd case was released. The stock market comes roaring back and roaring airplanes. Supersonic flight may be in your future. All right. That is Macaulay Culkin. He has a message for you about touching your face and wearing a mask whether or not youre stuck home alone. Well show you that. Youre watching today in the bay. Oscar the grouch here to tell you, yeah, you, to wear a mask out in public around other people. Sure itll keep you healthy. But more importantly, i wont have to see your happy smiling face. Ugh. And if you dont want to wear a mask, ive just got one thing to tell you. Scram, go away. Ugh. Caring for each other because we are all in this together. So wear a mask and have a rotten day, will ya . Ugh. Right now at 4 14. We are seeing some clear visibility for many of oour microclimates as you get ready to head out this morning and that is because those clouds have lifted up and a weather system moving in and i think it will give us a beautiful sunrise so get ready. Well talk about what those clouds will bring us as we head into the weekend. That is coming up in a few minutes. Kari, wish we could use this getting lifted up. The truck overturned and across lanes north 101 just shy of hellyer. The backup in the distance on the map you can see it, as well. Back to basically the highway 85 split and use 85 and 87 as your alternate. Well talk about the progress they have because they need a tow truck, at least one. Well, good morning and a very happy thursday to you. Facebook says it will delete posts that used militarized language to recruit poll watchers. President Trumps Campaign has been running ads for what it calls trumps army. Facebook says that runs the risk of voter intimidation. Facebook also says it will not allow any political ads following the end of voting on election day to prevent one candidate from declaring victory too soon. Because of all the mailin ballots it may be several days before we know who won the president ial election and thats okay. No law says we need to know that night. The stock market bounced back wednesday after President Trump reversed himself said he would be willing to negotiate some aspects of the next stimulus bill, including relief for airlines. Airline stocks, as you might imagined, climbed. Energy prices are higher as hurricane delta home to so many oil rigs. Firsttime jobless claim numbers today.

The start up unveiled the first version of its supersonic airliner. Boom supersonic is building the first passenger plane yesterday rolling out its first functioning airplane so it can undergo tests. Now, this model is smaller than the actual airliner, it will be about the size of a 737. Hasnt flown yet. When it does, the first privately built supersonic airplane in history. I spoke to the companys ceo. Thats right. Historically, this has been governments and militaries only. Concorde was a joint venture between the french and british governments and every other supersonic aircraft has been military. This is the first independently developed supersonic jet ever. Heres a look at the fullsize airliner which they have not actually built, but theyll use that small test theyll learn to build the bigger one. Great fun. More than 50 years since they developed the concorde. Its been a long time since weve seen a passenger supersonic jet. I want to ride the one they test in full, like not the model. They build the real one off the model. I want them to test the real one first. Maybe like the eighth flight. Like the eighth flight. One, no thanks. Thanks, scott. Where is the adventure in you. Well, regal movie chain, theyre temporarily closing all 536 regal theaters in the u. S. As of today. The move was spurred by no time to die the next bond film coming out abandoning its release in favor of an april 2nd reopening. Regal is the second largest theater chain behind amc and has bay area theaters in dublin and in oakland. The happiest place on earth will not open again any time soon. That is the latest word from Governor Newsom about california theme parks including disneyland. The state will work with those new guidelines and the governor says hes concerned about those parks becoming covid hot beds. Disney recently laid off 28,000 employees. Trenning this morning, Macaulay Culkin may take the title for the most creative face covering. Take a look the 40yearold posting this photo to instagram. His mask showcasing his younger self in his vintage home alone look where he grabbed his face, remember that and screamed after putting on some after shave. The recreation of that moment from the classic film is his way to remind people to take the precautions although touching your face not such a great idea. One of those things, why didnt i think of that . Thats so cute. Really creative masks out there. I like your tortila one, too, laura. Its over here. Different ones out there. Okay. Well, if you are going to be out and about, though, maybe a little warmer. Yesterday was the first Late Afternoon that i put on a hoodie to go for a bike ride with the kids. It was a little cool out there. Nice. It finally feels like fall. Such a welcome sight to have some cooler temperatures for the bay area. But we better take it in and enjoy because we have a lot of changes ahead. Let me first start out with a look of satellite imagery showing what is happening and more clouds prspreading in and also the first of the two weather systems were expecting moving in. As you can see, no rain with it. All the rain staying off the coast and another one right behind that we are expecting t move in for friday into saturday and, also, looks like that rain avoids the bay area. Lets go look hour by hour at what were looking at here, once again. A spread of clouds moving in. Clearing out on friday. Then saturday the next one moves in. It does show some light spotty showers, but its not the heavy rain and the soaking that we needed that we were originally seeing on those computer models. A lot has changed over the past few days and we may see some spots with some drizzle throughout the day, especially along the coastline. Inland a few spotty showers. But we so desperately needed that rain because we are now in an extreme drought now. They do not have Drought Conditions across much of Southern California and near the l. A. Area. But here in the bay area, we did not have those heavy rainfalls at the end of the rainy season last year. So, were starting out the water year this time around and mostly moderate to severe and then as you head farther to the north, we have extreme Drought Conditions for parts of the north bay. Of course, where we do have the fires and, of course, with Climate Change. We could see more of these periods of some extended drought as we go into the future. So, it really was sad to see that rain drying up in the forecast. Were looking at still some cooler weather and breezy conditions and that will also help hopefully keep the spread of the glass fire from happening so quickly. And it will warm up, again, for the middle of next week. All right, mike, i hope you have some better news in the traffic report. Sorry. Nope. We have this, we just have these pictures, kari. We do have folks getting by this truck. Overturned since before 4 00 this morning. Look at that. Theyre squeezing by in the Center Divide surface area and the headlights that is what kari hoped we had better news for. We are waiting for more trucks. I believe chp hasnt updated and another truck in the area perhaps to off load, i hope not, because that will take longer. Three miles of backup from the 85 101 split heading up to the scene at hellyer. Monterey road which is doing just fine for our Speed Sensors and as the commute builds and that is over the next 20 minutes. That will mean 101 north of 680 actually maintains a clear drive this morning likely. The rest of the bay hasnt started backing up at all yet. Back to you. Thanks so much, mike.

Well get to the forecast and its changes in just a little bit. But want to check in with mike because youve been keeping tabs on this overturned box truck in the south bay. Thats right, laura. A larger box truck, a delivery style truck you see going to your businesses out there. Were looking at it on its side out there right now northbound on 101. The steady stream of lights coming towards us and more lights over on the left and tow truck activity there but i dont know if ones enough to right that rig and they need two to hook up together to right the rig and get it out of the way. Maybe 5 30 but its 5 31 and still havent budged. That backup theyre stopping it, again. Getting ready to do more activity and perhaps position another truck. Ill keep my eye s on this off camera. The backup extends over three miles to the 85 split with north 101. Monterey road picking up a little more traffic but no big concern yet. It could be a good alternate. Word of people turning around on the onramp at blossom hill to get out of that backup, dont do that, folks. The rest of the bay light traffic right now, kari. Ive enjoyed the change in the weather, as well. Yeah. Were looking much better here. The Weather Department in terms of temperatures.

Well talk about what is ahead in our forecast coming up in a few minutes, kris and laura. Thank you very much, kari. The breaking news were following this morning. Debate drama. Were not talking about last nights debate but what is coming down the road in the next president ial debate. Within the last hour, the commission on president ial debates said it would hold a virtual debate with President Trump and joe biden in different locations. President trump was quick to fire back on live tv just a short time ago saying he wont do it. I heard that the commission a little while ago changed the debate style. And thats not acceptable to us. Well, youre saying youre not going to participate . Im not going to waste my time in a virtual debate. You sit behind a computer ask do a debate, its ridiculous. For now the debate is still scheduled to be eheheld next thursday town hall style from miami. All of this breaking news comes after the Vice President ial candidates faced off in their first and only debate last night. The two tackled an array of topics in Salt Lake City ranging from health care to covid. Cierra johnson is live in San Francisco with a break down for us this morning. Cierra . Good morning. Yes, safe to say the debate last night between Vice President mike pence and senator Kamala Harris was civil, but there were some moments of tension as the two debated some of the nations most pressing issue. The first topic they tackled as expected, covid19. Just a week after President Trump was diagnosed with the virus. Senator harris reasserted her campaigns message that the Trump Administration simply failed in its handling of the pandemic while the Vice President touted trump as a president who put the health of america first. Take a listen. They knew and they covered it up. The president said it was a hoax. They minimized the seriousness of it. We were able to see to the delivery of billions of supplies so our doctors and nurses had the resources and support they needed. And we began really before the month of february. It was hard to develop a vaccine. Another point of contention, the president s handling of racial injustice. Trumps response to whether or not he would condemn White Supremacists at the first debate was addressed by both candidates. The president of the United States took a debate stage in front of 70 million americans and refused to condemn White Supremacists. He condemned the kkk, neonazi and white supremacist and has done so repeatedly. And although this is the only debate the two will engage in, it proved to be a completely different debate than the one we saw about a week ago. They both stuck to their talking point, but at times had trouble sticking to the time limit. Very interesting night played out last night. Were live in San Francisco, Cierra Johnson, today in the bay. Thanks for always listening to your time cues, too. More glass fire evacuees are being allowed to return to their homes and some will find nothing. Some of those homes are just gone. At a high school in santa rosa a onestop of information and cleanup kits have been set up for residents. This is a place that has experienced with destructive forest fires. So, local officials knew how to streamline that process of offering support. They are now passing out kits with cleanup equipment like shovels and sifters and masks. My last three pretty good size buildings and fortunately my home is still there, but wont be able to be lived there in for six months. Burned homes are full of contaminants and stuff and its important that people utilize the ppe they have so theyre not inhaling the ashes from the home. The kits will be available to residents to help clean up. They can be picked up at the high school and two other sites in Sonoma County through next week. Weve got new details this morning. Activists are reportedly suing the city of San Francisco accusing police of using illegal surveillance during the george floyd protests. The chronicle reports that the Police Department tapped into a network of hundreds of surveillance cameras in the Union Square Area to spy on protesters without Legal Authority to do so. The city bans the use of osurveillance Technology Without prior approval from supervisors except in emergencies. Neither the city nor police are commenting at this time. Homeland security is talking about arrests made in a weeklong bust targeting undocumented immigrants across california. Between september 28th and october 2nd, i. C. E. Agents arrested 128 people mostly in Southern California. But also six in the bay area. Nearly all of those arrested have either prior convictions or pending charges. Ndhs says the arrest went on despite californias sanctuary policies. Now to our pandemic coverage. The bay area not seeing a spike right now, but, there are still hundreds of new cases reported. Look by county by county and in total there are now 105,000 confirmed cases. And a staff member for Governor Newsom tested positive for covid19. The governor said he had no contact with that employee, but theres another separate case. Another state worker also tested positive and that employee works in a shared space with some of the governors staff. But, again, the employee did not have direct contact with the guff. Dr. Fauci joining a Virtual Event that starts at 5 00 p. M. Fauci will answer questions about the virus and how it could affect the ability of colleges to reepoen safely.

Help tenants struggling during the pandemic. Mayor london breed banned evictions and this order was initially supposed to end next month. 5 38 right now. You know what is starting for us in the bay area, cooler temperatures kari has been telling us about. Welcome change, indeed. Were going to also still have some drifts of smoke so even though the weather will be nicer temperature wise, we still do need to limit our time outside especially in the north bay where the air quality remains unhealthy and well see at times some of that smoke moving else where into the bay area. Now, it has been clearing a little bit this morning for the bay and the coast, but expect at times more of that smoke coming in for this afternoon. Now, were also watching the weather conditions around the glass fire because that also has an impact eon how much smoke were seeing and how fast that fire will be spreading. Temperatures this morning in the mid 50s and much higher humidity. Good news there, as well. Mike, what is the update on that south bay accident. Well, kari, talking about north 101. Effectively all lanes are still blocked but we do have changes over there. Last we saw the live picture joining now. The rig was on its side. On its wheels and on its tires. It looks like its in good enough shape to be moved and im not sure. It has been sitting there for seven minutes now. Folks still squeezing by. You see as folks get past that ask dart back to the right to fill in the other lines and gun it. Be careful through that area. Three miles of backup heading here and 680 through the Construction Zone and north of mission boulevard. Back to you. Thanks so much, mike. 5 40 right now.

Well see it slowly warming up today as it will be much cooler this afternoon. We were hoping for some rain this weekend, but it doesnt look like it is going to happen. Well talk about that in a few minutes. We were hoping for this clear roadway north 101. Survey says, not yet. The rig is on its wheels and tires right now still have four lanes blocking northbound 101 just shy of hellyer and now we have the commute building there, as well as at the bay bridge. Look at the backup forming in the middle lanes right on schedule for this pattern coming out of the east bay. Thank you, mike. Breaking right now. The latest just released weekly jobless numbers and the Labor Department says 840,000 people filed firsttime claims last week. That is slightly higher than the forecast. It also 9,000 fewer than the week prior. Continuing claims came in at just under 11 million people. 5 44. Brandnew this morning, the next president ial debate we found out will be virtual. All right. Within minutes, scott mcgrew, we found out the president said he wouldnt go. Right. The commission on president ial debates made that announcement this morning and you brought that to our viewers saying the move would guarantee the health and safety of all involved. President trump, as you reported, said hes not interested. Back at the Oval Office Still despite being contagious well under the tenday to isolate. If we have a remote debate, it certainly wouldnt be the first time. The democratic president ial nominee senator john f. Kennedy separated by 3,000 miles the republican richard m. Nixon. Now joined for tonights discussion by a network of electronic facilities which permits each candidate to see and hear the other. Probably used your electronic facility last night to watch the Vice President ial debate. It was largely civil. Our Cierra Johnson is taking a look at that and highlights coming up. An Appeals Court says President Trump has to turn over his tax returns to a grand jury in manhattan who we believe is looking into two things. The payment mr. Trump made to two women including Stormy Daniels and possible tax evasion by the Trump Administration or organization. President trump pushing the fda to give quick approval to an experimental drug for covid19. Regeneron was given to him at the hospital and he went on to praise it. I wasnt feeling so hot and within a very short period of time they gave me regeneron. And other things, too. But they gave me regeneron and it was unbelievable. I felt good immediately. I felt as good three days ago as i do now. So, i just want to say, we have regeneron and a very similar drug from eli lily and theyre coming out and trying to get them on an emergency basis. Ive authorized it. And if youre in the hospital and youre feeling really bad, i think were going to work it so you get them and youre going to get them free. The Atlanta Journal constitution reports that white house chief of staff mark meadows held a lavish wedding reception for his daughter in may despite the governor of georgia prohibiting large groups.

The school says 68 out of its 1,600 students have active cases. Most of them having contracted the virus from social interactions outside of school hours and off campus. And new this morning, bad news for music lovers. The show will not go on at coachella after all. Not this year anyway. The event was rescheduled from april to this month and now festival organizers are just calling the whole thing off. The event usually draws 250 fans to the desert in Southern California, but promoters say coachella may return next october, but they havent set any dates just yet. Well, trending this morning, kris. Barbie is going viral for her new message addressing racism. Take a listen. White people get an advantage they didnt earn and get a disadvantage that they didnt deserve. Exactly. Its really serious.

I mean, i dont know who that audience is at this point, but its not bad if its any kid of any age playing with barbies. Big difference from when barbie used to say math is hard, right . Barbie has come a long way. Yeah. Right. Good point. Our forecast is also changing. Hello, kari. Yep. Theyre going to have much cooler temperatures today.
