From san jose to morgan hill, you might pass the community of coyote on 101. This is coming up on the hills, a magnitude of 3. 5, still gath everything the details on that. It is a little more shallow there, so when these quakes are within a couple of miles of the surface, more people feel it. I was checking on the usgs which does the latest info of earthquakes. Right now, theyre telling us about 10, 15 people felt it. If you did, call us and tell us what you felt about ten minutes ago.

There were hundreds of fans that listened to the music across the street from the stadium. These Young Swifties were practicing their shake it off dance moves, ready to belt off all their faifry taylor swift songs. I like lavender haze and cool summer.

She found one ticket on twitter, but now believes she got scammed. I was trying to get a ticket. I found one for 175, and now the money is sent and the person is not responding.

For the second night in a row, talia has camped out in the parking lot with her friend trying to score a ticket, which is why shes doing the next best thing, gathering with hundreds of others across from the stadium.

More than a year out from the president ial election, joe biden and former President Trump are the front runners, but both men are facing increasing scrutiny. Biden with the impacts of his son hunters ongoing legal battles and botched plea deal. And trump is facing new charges. Joining me to talk about this is nbc news political director and moderator of meet the press, chuck todd. Thanks for joining us this morning. Good morning. Well, you are speaking exclusively to joe Bidens National campaign cochair this morning. How do they plan to prevent his sons struggles from overshadowing the campaign and will we see trumps indictments as a corner stone talking point . Well, its interesting. They view it that he believes this turns off middle of the road voters, that people will see it as more politics than take it at face value per se. Look, we had a robust conversation about this, because regardless of what he believes the facts show, youve got a big chunk of the country that thinks differently here. And i do think theres a larger question that lawmakers are escaping here. The fact is, we could debate what was criminal or not with hunter biden. He did make money off of his last name. Should that be allowed, something that Congress Wants to take issue with so the relatives of president s because Donald Trumps soninlaw cashed in to do a deal with the Saudi Arabian government. Should there be some sort of ethics or compliance that the sons and daughters and soninlaws and daughterinlaws of president s should have to abide by . I think that the perception here really is troubling to a lot of others. Definitely a discussion point. You are also speaking to republican president ial candidate will heard. How does he plan to sway his party to vote for him with trump as the presumed front runer . Hes the only candidate going right at trump directly about the legal issues. He went to iowa and said the only reason trump is running is to stay out of prison. He wants to go at this issue directly. He believes the rest of his party is making a mistake by rallying around him. I dont know if theres going to be enough support for him to even get him on the debate stage. Hes hoping to have that conversation on a debate stage and get there. It is notable. I think hes somebody to keep an eye on even after this primary season, because the no labels, this movement to try to get a third candidate on the ballot, he didnt rule out working with them after the fact, but he does want to run for now inside the republican primary. Okay. So maybe well continue seeing him throughout this next year. All right. We night. Thanks so much, chuck, for joining us. We hope you join chuck this morning for meet the press. Well have interviews with senator chris coons and republican will hurd. Coming up in about 30 minutes from now, well talk to nbc bay area political analyst Larry Gerston for our weekly segment and take a look at what one recent poll is revealing about both donald trump and joe biden. And lebron james gave us an update today on his son, bronny, five days after he went into cardiac arrest. Lebron posted this video today of bronny playing the piano with the caption keep going, were here right with you every step of the way. The 18yearold collapsed monday during basketball practice at usc. Doctors discharged him from the hospital. Hes now resting at home. He will continue to undergo tests to determine what caused him to go into cardiac arrest. Excitement is building for our Womens National soccer team. The team plays its Group Stage Finale with a match against portugal tuesday morning. The u. S. Leads group e after they tied with the netherlands, and with three points secured against vietnam. Portugal still remains in contention for a spot in the knockout rounds heading into the third and final day of group stage play. Kickoff is at midnight. Also happening today, dublin is in the middle of a special youth sports tournament. Take a look at this. This years gala games are happening at emerald glenn park. This brings together thousands of players ages 4 to 18 from across north america. The kids compete in over 250 matches of gaelic football, a cross between soccer, football, rugby, hurling and a stick ball sport called kamugi. Take a listen. Its very similar to the size and weight of a baseball, they just dont use gloves, they use a stick and they chase that ball around and you go nonstop for 70 minutes flat out, no timeouts. And yeah, its a great fun thing. No timeout. Man. Dublin was chosen for this years championship in part because of its Irish American roots, and its named after dublin, ireland. Good luck to all those participants today. Now, an update to that breaking news we brought you, an earthquake in the south bay has been downgraded to a 3. 5 quake that struck the south bay. Cinthia pimentel joins us with a closer look. You have been staying on top of this since this news broke. What are we learning right now . We go into action mode to get everybody aware of what is going on. Lets take a look here. Around 6 49 we got the alert that something was going on, just north of morgan hill up in the mountains there. We are hearing from usgs, thats the u. S. Geological survey. Theyre saying its a 3. 5 and around 130 people have reported feeling it from down as far as gilroy to parts of fremont and this is on a fault that starts from san ramone and extends down into the south bay. So maybe as more people wake up and could potentially see things fallen off the shelf. Theyll tune in and figure out some people were woken up by the jolt this morning. Well keep an eye on that. And well keep an eye on your weather, as the kids get out to play all of those sports wrapped into one. Theyre going to need some water as the afternoon goes on. But we are saying goodbye to our weekend, saying goodbye to nosky july, but hanging on to the fog this morning, through the immediate coastline. The rest of us will get rid of the cloud cover, enjoy a nice day around the bay area. Youre going to love today with the summerlike temperatures returning. What we are going to keep an eye on is some high clouds moving in through parts of the south bay. Notice them rolling on through. Were still keeping an eye on what is developing with the monsoon through parts of the desert southwest. Most of that Activity Still staying down to the south along the mountains. Well keep an eye if any of those rogue thunderstorms try to get in. It will be a great day to say goodbye to july around the bay. 66 in San Francisco. As we go into the immediate basin, upper 70s and low 80s. 84 for you, playing the sports out in dublin. Warmer as we move into parts of concord and fairfield and through the south county. As we keep an eye on the wind gusts, we are seeing some wildfires sparking up. We want to keep an eye on the hot temperatures, the winds, of course, and the fuels that are trying up there on the hillside. As we go through about 4 00 this afternoon, definitely gusty. San francisco, typical. Over the pass here, that is going to be looking like a gusty afternoon. So just something to keep in mind. With all of the wind gusts coming in from the south, we are looking at temperatures starting to cool down. Tomorrow will be like the residual heat on the weekend. Tuesday, we go down to the 70s. Further cooling as we go into wednesday. Were not looking at any mid 80s any more or low 90s. Looking at 82 in santa rosa. 80 in livermore, which is one of the warm spots. So were on a cooling trend, at least through the first half of the week there. Tuesday through thursday will be about the coolest weather well feel. Before that ridge of High Pressure starts to move in, we could be looking at next weekend, some triple digit temperatures. And San Francisco will feel it, too. Once we get through the chilly rough spot, well look at temperatures cooling down to the low 60s. Youll need a jacket. Then a mild weekend is ahead there. And the inland valleys, breezy afternoons. We wont keep that out of the picture, but well see more high clouds and the temperatures in the low 90s today. Before we start to cool it down, back into the low 80s, even some possibly upper 70s as we go into wednesday. Thursday, friday look okay, pretty mild. And then we have a warm weekend in store tuesday. Hello to the first weekend of august in the low 90s. I want to turn your attention now to our climate in crisis. A new study is revealing that the damaging impacts of the marine heatwaves are having on wildlife in the pacific. Data gathered by the university of washington says the warm Ocean Temperatures have killed millions of sea birds along the pacific coast, from 2014 to 2019. Its events like the blob, if you heard of that in 2013. And el nino triggered some of these dieoffs. Due to a warming climate, the marine events are becoming more frequent and not allowing ecosystems to recover. So scientists are preparing on what will develop with el nino later this year. It is expected to strengthen. And the coauthor says that places like california could be sitting ducks for another massive sea bird dieoff as a result. So well keep an eye on this and more stories on our changing climate. You can always learn more on nbcbayarea. Com and click on the climate in crisis tab. Such an important topic. Do you know what solutions theyre looking at . We have to focus on keeping our areas clean and safe for these habitats and keeping an eye on how warm these temperatures get off the coastline.

It is just northeast of morgan hill, right there this fault. There are a lot of fault lines that run through the bay area.

Well see the temperatures warming in the valleys. Temperatures in the 80s and 90s. Still, the extreme heat stays away. We are looking at a cooling trend as we say good bye to july, heading into the first couple of days of august. That will be shortlived, as we look atore heat coming up ahead in the full outlook. Well talk about that in ten minutes. Well, we are taking a live look at San Franciscos skyline this morning, where one neighborhood is becoming increasingly fed up with the recent increase in crime. Its happening in the north of the panhandle neighborhood. And as tom jenson reports, the problem came to a head when a fire started at an encampment next to homes threatening families. Reporter the fire wednesday night here on Central Avenue tour ched one neighbors car, and this family says it was close to their home. Its dangerous. This fire was really scary, and it could have burned down this building. I was glad no one was injured. Reporter but now linda is without a car and blames city officials for the fire, and the increase in crime around her neighborhood. The solution, she says using moneys that have been earmarked in the city funds for Affordable Housing. Reporter hundreds of millions of dollars of unspent Affordable Housing funds. Neighbors said they started seeing the tents and more crime during the pandemic. Very rapidly we started seeing some change with a lot of homelessness, tent encampments, drug use popping up around the neighborhood. Reporter just a couple of hours before the tent and car caught fire wednesday, another neighbor two blocks away captured this video from their home. Police responded quickly to the fight, but neighbors say its another example of how the once quiet neighborhood has changed. Franchesco, who is helping organize a grassroots nonprofit to pay for improvements, says the city is trying to help. The city is offering some services, but oftentimes its the Homeless Population not accepting the services being offered. Reporter he wants a new city code. If shelter is being offered, we need them to take shelter. That is the case in new york, for instance, where people cannot refuse shelter. Reporter some neighbors agree a law like that could work in San Francisco. I think the issue should not be political. Its not safe. Reporter we reached out to San Francisco pd dean preston for comment but have not heard back. In San Francisco, tom jenson, nbc bay area news. This morning, another person is recovering after being shot on an oakland freeway, the latest shooting happening saturday morning jusafr 4 00.

The person in the passengers seat realized they had been shot in the chin. Theyre now in the hospital. Earlier this month, a gun battle left an 8yearold fighting for his life. So far, no arrests in that shooting. This comes as oakland continues to react to the californias recently released reparations report. The public was invited to a virtual town hall on saturday. It was held by the allen temple Public Ministry in partnership with the oakland naacp and Oakland African American Chamber of commerce. The forum featured several leaders, including the chair of the California Reparations Task force. He stressed that this is just the beginning in terms of working towards realizing the landmark reparations suggested. What we are doing today is part of the work, we are raising awareness and Building Support for reparations and preparing for what is coming next, which is what will be the countrys and the states firstever statelevel Reparations Task force bill and then law in 204. This is a longtimime coming. Afafter years of meetings and drafts, the task force released the report in june, which excluded a direct payment plan but proposed more than 100 statewide policies to address generations of discrimination and Racial Disparities for black californians. A new video this morning of the dazzling white x that stands on top of the building formally known as twitter headquarters. Take a look at the x light up. Its receiving backlash from those living in the area. The twitter sign on the building is gone. When removal started monday, Police Stopped the work because the street wasnt properly blocked off below in case something fell. Then on friday, the city opened an investigation into the company for not installing the sign without proper approval. This is part of the rebranding elon musk signaled was ahead.

A new update to the ongoing sagaftra strike. The union has given producers a waiver allowing them to continue production. But actor and producer viola tavis announced shes putting a pause on producing the film g20 in a show of solidarity with striking hollywood actors and writers. In a statement she said and its not just writers and actors who are being affected. Other workers in the Entertainment Industry are feeling the impacts, too. Including hair and makeup professionals. Their union held a craft fair on saturday to help support each other during this strike. Now, being unable to work during this time presents a wide range of concerns, including a potential loss of Health Insurance if members do not work for a certain number of hours per year. They say they could lose coverage. So far, there are no future negotiations scheduled between the unions and the studios. Turning to our climate in crisis, nearly 5,000 heat records have been set just this month. And more than 100 million americans are under heat alerts. This july could go down as the hottest month ever recorded on earth. And a new analysis from Climate Central shows Many Americans face heat thats more than ten degrees hotter than their neighbors. Climate editor chase cain shows us how urban inlands are scorching neighborhoods more than others. Reporter in this blazing hot, record breaking summer, more than 41 million americans live in neighborhoods eight degrees hotter, known as urban heat islands. More than half the population of chicago, miami, san diego, and the bay area live in neighborhoods at least eight degrees hotter than the rest of the city. In philadelphia, thats 900,000 people. In l. A. , more than 3. 3 million. Its even worse for dallas and new york, where three out of every four people live in urban heat islands. If you dont live in one, youve probably felt one, like standing in a hot parking lot. The official temperature is 88 degrees. But this is showing a temperature closer to 93. In part, because the pavement. Its making it hotter here. You remember joanie mitchell. She wrote a song about this in the 70s. They paved paradise and put up a parking lot we have built our city with cars and pavement and fewer trees, making it even more deadly. Heat kills more americans than hurricanes and tornadoes. Theres a lot of thought and a lot of effort involved in deciding when and where to put, you know, to issue those heat warnings, so make sure people heed the advice. Those warnings are intended to tell people, look, this is a particularly dangerous situation. Reporter in miami, they lowered the threshold for issuing heat alerts because of a study from the university of miami. Researchers placed these little sensors around town, which showed urban heat islands up to ten degrees hotter than other neighborhoods. And that information is important, you know, the difference between a heat index of 95 and 105 in terms of the known impacts is really great. Reporter its also why seven years ago, researchers started mapping urban heat islands. And this summer, it continues in boston. The heat senator, im going to put this on the passenger side of my vehicle. Its very simple to operate. Reporter with chicago, dallas, 18 cities nationwide. We are informing this for a Climate Action plan. Reporter so planting trees, even new paint can help lower temperatures in the short term. But in the longterm, its really about oil and gas. Well, theyve been on americas got talent. Now theyre heading to the olympics.

Tomorrow, temperatures remain just a little bit of the same in the 60s to 80s and low 90s. And people will start to feel the moisture becoming more muggy through the day today and tomorrow as we track some high clouds that will be felt through the southern portions of the bay area. Definitely through the southern parts of the state as this moisture picks up and moves into parts of our area, into the mountains too. So what we are watching is some of the thunderstorm potential. Follow along with the blue dots. Southern california, parts of the Yosemite Valley over the next couple of days, moving on through tuesday and wednesday, the chances become a little closer to reno and lake tahoe. Well keep an eye on if any of those rogue thunderstorms come into the bay area, too. As far as the temperatures go over the next couple of days, 80s and low 90s and well start to be in a cooling trend. As we go into livermore, well start our week, feeling some of that warm weekend heat. But look at what happens tuesday, wednesday, even thursday. Dropping 15 to 20 degrees through the first couple of days of august. No major heat until next weekend. Saturday, sunday, monday, we could be looking at some of those spots, reaching the triple digit temperatures once again. But we do have to get through this workweek first in San Francisco. Chilly as we go into tuesday and wednesday. But then looking like a little more mild closer to the weekend. As far as the inland valleys go, not only the high clouds but breezy conditions in the afternoon. Got to watch out for any wildfires picking up.

Natitional univeversity. Supportingng the wholele yo. This is exciting. The north bay hiphop squad is getting ready to represent the u. S. On the world stain. You might remember the dances from the dance studio in fairfield we introduced to you in 2021, when they competed on americas got talent. Now they are headed to arizona to compete in the olympics of hiphop dance. Look at those moves. The squad has been practicing for 12 hours a day for weeks. Theyre one of the best in the u. S. They have three teamspeti nst moren 30 countries in the world hiphop dance championship. Definitely exciting to represent only t usaut the bay , because everyone in our Community Supports us. Were going against every country you can think of. They have competition in that country, and those top three teams go to one spot to compete. Were the top three from usa. Reping the u. S. And the bay area, one of the routines features a bay area son, and one team member is part of the nbc bay area family. Hes the son of our very own jodi hernandez. Hes on all three of those teams competing in. Good luck to them. Wnba star Brittney Griner will not travel with her team to a couple of upcoming road games.

In a statement, the mercury says they fully support Brittney Griner and will Work Together on a timeline for her return. Turning now to decision 2024. Top California Republicans are celebrating a rule change that they believe will lead to more influence in choosing president ial nominees. The new rule means the republican president ial candidate who gets more than 50 of the vote in the march primary will win all 169 delegates from california. More than any state in the nation. Now, if no one reaches the benchmark, delegates will be awarded proportionally based on the statewide vote. The controversial move is supported by former President Trump. Critics say the shakeup could discourage other gop candidates from running here, making the state less competitive. This morning, we are 15 months away from the 2024 president ial election. So voters seem more wresless than ever. Polls show about 70 dont want either front runners, donald trump or joe biden. A potential new entry, no labels, claims it may have the answer by offering moderates from both major parties. Larry gerston joins us now. Now, is this a solution thats no labels . It sure seems like it, doesnt it . It will solve all our problems just like that. A winwin. Not quite. So easy. This whole idea of to labels sounds great, but Political Parties are organized state by state, so to get on the ballot, you have to qualify. Each state has a different set of rules. Its tough. So far, no labels has qualified in six states, thats just about it. But you know what . No labels or parties like that in the past can have an effect. Think about ross perot, an election that should have went to bush goes to clinton. And ralph nader, many votes could have went to gore, but instead of that, bush won. This is a problem, we know it. But is this the answer . Right. Now, for no labels people, they claim this time may be different, because more than half of people identify as independents. We have done some research on the tremendous change in the people who identify as independents. From 33 in 2008 to 49 this year. So you think wow, thats kind of interesting. But you peel back the onion, so to speak. You look at whats really going on. You ask people, how do you feel about obamacare, social security, all these things . It turns out that only 7 of the voters are trowely independent. Almost everyone identifies one way or the other downstream with the democrats or republicans, especially as we get close to election. So what do weake out of a thisdata, especia whee tabout the growth of independents . Lets n shy away from reality. America is frustrated with two part dies and the way things ar going on in this country in general. The question is, is this the answer . It may not be. It would be the first time if it was. So we have to look at how are we going to change things . What party is best for us . So look for much the same as we get to 2024. The closer we get to the election, the more likely people will fall into one or the other parties. And the more well be having these conferences about what people feel is representative of what they believe. Yeah. Thanks so much, larry.
