Oh, say the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals stood with arms linked during the National Anthem, the latest show of unity or protest by nfl teams since President Trump said team owners should fire players who refuse to stand for the anthem. Cowboys owner jerry jones joined his teams players in kneeling before the star spangled banners and some fans booed at the gesture. It was an effort to make a statement about equality and unity. And last nights anthem performer Jordin Sparks had a more subtle message, a bible verse written on the left hand, and it begins, speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are des tute. And President Trump posted this on twitter. Tremendous backlash for the players of the nfl who disrespect our country and standing for our anthem. In oakland whroak located student against National Anthem. What its doing is ensuring that our constitution and our count rightrs are guaranteed to all, because historically that has not been the case. But it didnt sit well with everyone. Witnesses heard some in the stands swearing at students as they knelt. And s neither it sounded like the opening to any Major League Baseball game. But it looked like this. Middle School Musicians with Oakland Unified School districts honor band. Kneeling together. As they played. Misha watched his son and daughter proudly from the stands. It is not about a protest against the National Anthem. It is ensuring that our constitution and our countrys right are part of everyones conscience. And witnesses heard everyone in the stands swearing at students as they knelt and some fans told us this is neither the time or the place. But the head of Major League BaseballPlayers Union embraced the right to protest on the field, saying we will always respect and support all of our players Constitutional Rights and freedom of expression. In an opinion piece, for the new york times, 49ers safety eric reed called for more people to join the protest sweeping professional sports. Not only do we need more of our fellow black and brown americans to stand with us, he said, but also people of other races. This was the second time these band members have made this bold statement. The first, almost a year ago, in solidarity with colin kaepernick. School officials said the students had the last word on what to do. We are letting them do what they want to do or not do what they dont want to do go and in the end they say kneeling was the right choice. I am not hating against people who disagree with me, but me personally, i like to stick up for anyone to be treated equally. I like to stand up. And be strong. Be brave. Dont be afraid. In oakland, Kristen Ayers kpix5. We asked what you thought about not standing during the National Anthem as a form of protest and many say it is wrong not to stand and 40 says said it is acceptable. A huge majority said pinpoints comments about the President Trumps comments about the mat ver made the situation worse. And star athlete, days after calling the president a bum, lebron james accused him of not acting like a good role model. He doesnt understand how many kids no matter the race look up to the president of the United States for guidance, for leadership, are for words of encouragement. He doesnt understand that. Tom brady, super bowl mvp and friend of President Trump called in on a radio show to weigh in on the issue. I disagree with what he said and thought it was divisive. And students in almeda gathered around the flag pole and kneeled and did that while listening to a rendition of the National Anthem by whitney houston. The students say they wanted to do something symbolic to support freedom of expression. Definitely an important subject we are talking about. Lets turn to something less controversial. The weather forecast. Yes, that is controversial, too. Yes, yes. It depends who you are talking about. Yes.

Along 880, and as we continue up through berkeley, along 80, that is moving right at the limit there, you shouldnt have any trouble making your approach to the bay bridge toll plaza and you can see, no slowdowns, as you approach those tollgates. That is a check of the traffic. Back to you, michelle. Thank you. The g. O. P. s latest Health Care Plan is likely dead on arrival in the senate.

Yesterday on capitol hill, demonstrators filled Senate Hearing to protest the medicare cut, some in wheelchairs and many dragged out of the building. The spill sponsors heard more Harsh Criticism during a cnn town hall. The truth of the matter is, the Affordable Care act has done some very important things.

And a billboard near the bay bridge now has ad calling for the impeachment of President Trump. A group called purge Campaign Paid for ad and in the statement, the group listed several reasons for an im mechement. The reasons include impeachment. The reasons include allegations of trying to obstruct investigations of the campaign and what happened in charlottesville, virginia. And you may see them on bart. Panhandlers with babies begging for money but some of those women are not as down on their luck as they might seem. Plus evacuation orders in effect in Southern California. As crews try to get a handle on a major brush fire. dog panting another 2am stroll, huh . Im worried. I have this medical bill. Dave, you have anthem, and they have people to talk to who are empowered to help answer any question you. dog grunting, panting is. Is he okay . Real people . Living and breathing. Hopefully not breathing like that. For all the things that keep you up at night, Anthem Blue Cross has a solution. Quite go as planned. But the university contends it was still costly. Saying its paying about 800 thousand dollars for we are looking at free speech week, the university is saying it is costly 800,000 for security and there were dozens of people protesting the conservative speakers on the campus. A group called by any means necessary claims it is too risky to let those people speak. When the nazis were trying to grow in game, before germany, before world war ii, and this is documented, including by them, people thought they were pathetic and ridiculous clowns and they were ignored. The joey gibson altright Group Patriot Prayer says his group will rally in berkeley this afternoon despite the cancellation of the free speech event. Thiversity plans to keep a heavy Police Presence through wednesday. Bart passengers may have noticed a growing number of women with babies begging for money. Kpix 5 Kristen Ayers looks at whether those women are actually as des tute as they seem. Here she comes. Swaying precariously on the rolling train. Baby strapped to her chest. Approaching riders with a cardboard sign. No job. Four kids. Please help for food. But wait. Here is another woman. Also carrying a baby. And a sign. Then there is the men and women who hand out packets of kleenex. With almost identical type written notes. If you dont donate, they want the kleenex and the note back. And so they beg. Around the station. And more uncomfortably, on the train. So are these down on their luck individuals or something more organized going on . We rode the rail over the sumer for weeks, to find out. Why are you traveling . We still learned the mothers, as we came to call them, are from romania and live in hayward, experts call these traveling panhandles romas, and not eager to talk to us . How many hours do you stay on the train . It must be hard. This is your first time . The kleenex crew, as we soon were calling the other group, were chattier. Once they learned our producer spoke italian. This man told us he rides the rails every day. From 9 00 a. M. To 7 00 or 8 00 p. M. Also from romania. And lives in hayward. Hayward is this kleenex distributors home and she told us she works the trains seven days a week. It is a targetrich environment. And the deputy chief ed alvarez says bart is aware of the panhandling group. But it is is a first commitment protective right to panhandle. Panhandling may be legal. But where is the money going . Turns out, the kleenex crew is not as destitute as their help me notes would seem. On several different nights, we recognized half a dozen of them, floating into a couple of audis, a mercedes and kia, and counting their hall for the day. And as for the mother like clock work, day after day, we watched them stream out of the fremont parking lot, pushing their strollers and we followed them to a residential development, about a mile away, where rents for two bedroom units were at 2,600 a month. I cant comment on individual cases that might be begging fraud. But i do know that it does not represent them as a whole. Carol silverman teaches anthropology in oklahoma and says romas have been persecuted in europe and fleeing to the u. S. Where they are encountering the new discrimination. You hear the same prejudicial staples. They are no maddic. They do not work. They are thieves. They will steal your money from your pocket. They steal children. And all of these things that are not actually documented, according to any reliable decision. But this man has a different perspective, i have the opportunity to deal with members of the romani community, for good reasons and mad. Greg is an investigator good reasoned a bad. Greg is an investigate wer the d. A. s office and says the kind of begs we documented on bart is highly organized and lucrative. When they say they are hungry, the children need food or diapers, and they lost their job, and many people are very compassionate, and benevolent and they want to help. But you know, when you lie about those circumstances, and then take money from people, that is not right. He says it is just one of several criminal enterprises he has run into, involving roma families. His advice to bart riders. Think twice about it before you decide to give a large amount of money. In fremont, Kristen Ayers, kpix 5. And members of the rescue team that helped with relief efforts for Hurricane Harvey and irma are back at home. And the team helped a thousand people and trained to make rescues. And are saving people in need. And if a massive quake were to strike the bay area, this he say that they would be ready. They say that they would be ready. Especially recently going to see the devastation that occurred in texas and florida, we think about it happening and we are prepared for it. And the team has not gotten a call to help quake victims in mexico, but they say that theyre more than ready to pitch in. Right now, near anaheim, fire crews are working to contain these flames, spreading fast in the santa ana mountains. The canyon fire has now burned more than 2,000 acres. Damaging at least one home. And 1500 people have been told to evacuate, for now, the fire is just 5 contained. Time now, 4 49. Lets get a check of the bay area forecast. What is going on, in Southern California, the same thing were experiencing. An offshore flow but in Southern California, they will call it what . You tell me. Well, you know, usually here, we like to refer to it as the diablo winds. They call it the santa ana winds. And in anaheim today, extremely low relative humidity, and 95 degrees there as well. With the offshore push, and here locally, we have the offshore push, continuing, and we need some santa ana anti static spray. Say that fast five times. Right. Because we got a little bit of dryness in the atmosphere. A little bit of statin cling in the area. And clear skies across the bay bridge. And we have a view from the transamerica pyramid, looking out to the beautiful bright lights, and almeda, and the port of oakland, and clear sky, and visibility is unlimited. And great air quality again today. And temperaturewise, in the 50s and 60s. At this early hour. It is 60 degrees in san francisco. And then our weather watcher in fairfield, she says she has a nonexistent wind. And 63 degrees. And clear skies and thanks for checking in so early, linda. The winds are fluctuating all over the place, and more of a suburb am hayward, fremont more of a push in hayward, and fremont. And the highest elevations of the north bay and east bay mountains, later today. We have the kind of offshore winds, what happens is that it wicks out all of the moisture and the vegetation. Thats where we have extremely high fire danger. I am seeing some clouds gather off the coast, and we will see the return of the onshore push. But not until friday. And until then, we have that red flag warning that remains in effect through tomorrow. And moderate air quality anticipated by wednesday as our air quality starts to take a hit from the stagnant hair drifting across the bay area and air drifting across the bay area and the low relative humidity. And satellite radar shows that High Pressure continues to totally engulf the state of california and producing the offshore component. And you can see the lines, which is an indication of the winds. Which Southern California is just as hot as we are here. Unseasonably warm. Meanwhile, 87 in sacramento. Low 70s, monterey bay. Big sur. A goodlooking day in carmel. And 27 degrees in high sierra. And 81 degrees for the beach forecast. Dont forget the sun block. And meanwhile, the forecast temperatures, across the bay area, today, looks like we are going to be pretty much in the 80s. And 90s. Jumping up to 83 at Rock Away Beach. 93 in san rafael. And 93 in concord. And clayton and walnut creek. And also 92 degrees in santa rosa. Here is the forecast. Looking at the outside number, 94 degrees toward the delta, hotter on wednesday and thursday and begin to cool gently on friday, through monday and thats a look at the tuesday forecast. Hi, roberta.

And you will be tapping on the brakes. Caltrans wrapped up with overnight road work and seeing delays and seeing an improvement, it has gone down a couple of minutes since the last check. 30 minute ride between 205 and 680, and the red continues.

Be on the lookout for that, if youre headed in that southbound direction. Speeds in the green as you make your way toward the golden gate bridge. That is a look at the traffic. Back to you guys. Time now is 4 53. And investigators in the bay area are once again trying to track down guns stolen from a Law Enforcement officers car. This is wh s auto a fire ripped through a san jose auto body shop destroying six cars. This is what is left of riveras auto body shop on the north side. The fire burned for 45 minutes before crews got it under control yesterday afternoon. The fire did get any bigger, if the fire did get any bigger, it could have been a big disaster, Hazardous Materials as well as structural fire. No one was hurt. And investigators are looking into the cause. An officer was called in to help with security at cal, had two guns stolen. Someone broke into an unmarked car yesterday morning on heggenburger road in oakland near the black bear diner. The officers with the Police Department in kern county. The sergeant telling us the thief got away with the backpack with the two handguns inside. We are getting a glimpse of the animals who roam the bay area, while most people are sound asleep.
