Uber and lyfts is threatening to shut down its service in california over a court order yeah this week, a judge said that Rideshare Companies like uber and lyft must classify their california drivers as employees instead of independent contractors. Uber ceo says thats financially impossible. Kron fours michelle kingston explains. I would rather see them shut down and continue to exploit people steve gregg drove for uber for almost 4 years totaling at more than 16,000 rides throughout the bay area are quit basically in a panic attack when coronavirus hit greg stop driving fearful of getting sick. He also saw this as a way out of the company one that he says was never supportive of its drivers if you cant. Some like to provide a social safety net. As these laws are designed to do for the people who are working for you whether their employees or contractors, not in the system is broken and needs to change just this week, a california judge ordered both uber and lyft to treat their california drivers as employees instead of independent contractors guaranteeing them benefits like any other fulltime employee uber says it will likely be forced to shut down operations in the state for several months if its required to do this the attorney general in city attorneys in san diego, los angeles and here in San Francisco sued the ride hailing firms arguing they were violating the law by deeming their drivers to be independent contractors both companies are under pressure to alter their Business Models in california. Well some drivers though actually prefer the flexibility of working independently. Majority of drivers are parttime they are doing 10 or 20 hours a week or less so its probably not a shocker that a lot of them kind of you know uber and lyft have its problems to have its positives and negatives that have been well documented, but i think a lot of drivers are scared about losing that flexibility to log on whenever and wherever you aunt lawyers for uber lyft say drivers are not fundamental to the business i want to see people who were working for a living. Earning a fair wage and having a social safety net, not living in fear of not having insurance not living in fear of losing your job both uber and lyft are expected to fight the ruling.

What is it gone down to Southern California weve been talking about the lake fire there. I was going about a whole lot of relief because the pops are not real high on this mean low percentage of the precipitation coming. But at least a shot of maybe some rain with this leftover tropical moisture. Now it does impact our forecast ever so slightly as well because this is drifting to the north. So its going to have some cloud cover later today tonight overnight tomorrow morning, lets watch this on future cast for here. Couple go you can see couple radar.

Weve got temperatures in the 90s to 100 for those on the valleys excessive heat watch probably graduated to an excessive heat warning this kicks in friday and it covers the east bay east the east bay hills Solano County also the south bays in this 2 until 08 00pm on sunday, so it could be with us all weekend long and then early next week its not like we go into a cold spell or anything we reduced temperatures close to the seasonality so were talking those inland highs in the middle 90s so we have a little bit of relief i guess, heres a high temperatures today projected today, 73 for San Francisco 81 for oakland, 91 meanwhile for san jose across the wider bay weve already had it were already will have a couple 100 degree robot notes 98 going on for livermore with the east bay shoreline in the upper 80s. Now this will probably be increased to the 90s by tomorrow in for the weekend and there you can see the purples and the pinks going on for the Central Valley and have more on that in terms your 4 zone forecast coming up in a bit. But im not the only one hot stuff going on hot spot for robins going on thats right.

So theyve called in sweepers they have a big mess to clean up for those of you trying to get out of San Francisco, this is causing major delays on the lower deck. Its spilling over to the skyway and now traffic on the skyway has backed up on to north one oh one which is almost beyond 2. 80 and its starting to impact the southbound central freeway as well so you may just want to use the san mateo bridge. Instead of the bay bridge because its not looking so good right now trying to get out of San Francisco over to the east bay well take a look at traffic in the commute heading in coming up a little bit later marty. Well former Vice President joe biden and his new running mate senator Kamala Harris appeared together for the first time as partners on the democratic ticket. And theyre vowing to lead the u. S. Out of the current pandemic or let sanaas has details. Joe biden and Kamala Harris making their debut as running mates immediately taking aim at President Trump and his handling of the coronavirus pandemic but theres a reason it has hit. America worse than any other advanced nation. Its because of trumps failure to take it seriously from the start. This is what happens when we elect a gun who just isnt up for the job. Our country ends up in tatters. Once fierce rivals on the debate stage presumptive on terrorists now working together towards one common goal, defeating President Trump in November America is crying out for leadership. Yeah we have a president. Who cares more about himself and the people who elected him from the white house the president wasting no time launching his own attack. I watch a poll numbers go down long long down to almost nothing. And she left angry she left. Mad. There was nobody more insulting to biden. Then she was she said horrible things about him earlier biden already defending his Vice President ial pick from trumps insults. Donald trump has already started his attacks. Calling comic wrote nasty. Is anyone surprised donald trump has a problem. The strong woman. The duo given voters their first glimpse of the newly announced ticket. Comma. As you all know smart. Shes tough. Shes experienced, shes a proven fighter for the back door of this country. Biden also noting the importance of standing aside the first woman of color Vice President ial nominee all across the nation. Little girls woke up especially little black and brown girls. So often feel overlooked. An undervalued in their communities. But today. Today just maybe theyre saying themselves. For the first time in a new way. As the stuff of president. And Vice President s. Before leaving the socially distanced event here is sending this message to the young girls of color watching her make history. Well those are let signs reporting for us this morning, robin. Live joe biden and Kamala Harris win the 2020 election. There will be a vacancy to in the senate and it will be up to Governor Newsome to decide who takes heresy for california in the u. S. Senate.

You may be the only one that hasnt. Unless you just and that is only slight exaggeration and my last i looked into august of 2020. And my understanding is in january to the end of january 2021. That decision we need to be made thats a way of saying this is not were being flippant its a way of being and very transparent. Well again he has not released any names just yet but was less than 5 months to make the decision his options range from current members of his Administration Members of congress and other local leaders his choice would serve until the term runs out in 2022. Kron 4 is your local election headquarters you can find continuing coverage of Kamala Harris on our website at kron 4 dot com.

I hope youre ready for some heat because dave is bringing in on a day they were turned out there. Good morning. Robin marty good morning, everybody nice live shot from timber on nice blue skies into the background here in the fog is mixed out nicely. Most bay Area Temperatures holding in the 60s we have 70 already antioch and my school 57 at this hour and half moon bay. So this excessive heat watch it is right now is east of the east bay hills and this will kick in tomorrow. Afternoon also in the south bay, its included in this too and the north bay up the Solano County looks to be plenty warm elsewhere, but this is where the formality the excessive heat watch to become probably warning and again a kickin friday afternoon will be with us all weekend. High temperatures will be about 95 and well into the new decade of 100 plus it looks like for a lot of geography now for today, 92 goes on by high noon and by 3 opwere talking 99. Some areas already achieved 100 or better today, some scattered clouds of interesting note that will be with us tonight tomorrow morning of some tropical moisture from decaying tropical system. I mentioned some about that and also look at your 4 zone forecast a bit right now speaking of the traffic here. Robin as a hot spot when robin i do we have a multicar still active on the bay bridge. This is going to impact those of you heading out. Of San Francisco this morning as many as 7 cars involved here in this crash eastbound 80 before Treasure Island now at last check crews have the 2 left lanes blocked there is a fluid spill. Theyre bringing in sweepers to get it all cleaned up and its just adding to the big backup heading out of San Francisco us as we look at traffic tracker you can see its jam on the lower deck. Its backed up on the skyway and now that backup spills over to north one oh one which is just awful from 2. 80, so you may want to consider the san mateo bridge instead of the bay bridge trying to get over to the east bay because it doesnt look like theyre going to clear this any time soon heres a pic of traffic heading into San Francisco. Its improving not bad stacked up just be on west grand. Pretty clear across the upper deck, but as a reminder its going to be very hot today. Do not leave pets. The elderly or kids inside of a car just a little reminder marty. All right. Thank you robin, lets go to the north bay this morning where marine county Health Leaders have issued new guidelines for child care and Youth Programs its going to make a lot of parents and kids very happy kron fours will tran has all the details i will. It would make our generation very happy not sure about the kids getting out and play sports. But now the parents can say they have the endorsement of the Health Department right behind me they want you to get out there. Yes, they want your physical wellbeing take a look at your screen. These are the things that you can do moving forward. They had to shut down a lot of things of course because of the pandemic but were trending in the right direction. So if you live in the rain county, the sports activities. The groups are actually going to be bigger come august 17th from 12 people to 15 people you can get your child to play 2 sports at one time so maybe tennyson running it has to be an Outdoor Activity for now because theyre still fearful of course of covid19 so it has to be something of the outdoor variety and whatever you sign up and if you are running the programs. It has to be at least 3 weeks a minimum of 3 weeks it doesnt matter how many times per week. But it has to go on for 3 weeks because they want to monitor the situation. The governor talked about the backlog of cases and it looks like now covid19 is starting to go down slightly in our state in marine county is still on the watch list which is why for now theyre not allowing any indoor activities when it comes to sports, no offense, no tournaments they dont care if youre in the same school and that you can do this it doesnt matter it has to be all outdoors but of course one thing weve learned over the past several marty its to be flexible if this continues. There is a chance and i used to love sports when i was in school has a chance, especially with the winner mayans and the rainy season. They can move it indoors and thats all. Good news for a lot of people out there. We want to get their kids to be worn down just a little bit before they get home from school. Its looking like a twoparent thanks a lot well for that live report robin. Well now that students are beginning the new school year the question remains why do children get covid19 and frequently and have less severe symptoms. Well ucsf benioff Childrens Hospital doctor naomi bardack says that the main reason is the difference in the level of transmission between the 2 age groups she has set the most recent data shows that children are more likely to get covid19 at home instead of at school. The big question is is it safe for children to physically return to school during the pandemic. The show that younger children dont seem to transmit has officially as the Older Age Group or as adults or when i say open everything now found interest was not going to probably do a better job in that remedy goals. But we have to support some all those things and talk about them asking physical distancing regulations. Doctor bardack says and ultimately succeeding against covid19 will take more funding and better testing. Here in the bay area there are now more than 64,000 covid19 cases and more than 900 people have died from the virus. We continue to see the most cases in Alameda County with over 14,000 infections and thats where the virus has been the deadliest as well 212 people have died from the virus in Alameda County. You can have the complete for you by cases and by county on our website at kron 4 dot com. Well after seen more than 2200 coronavirus case of coronavirus cases in 25 deaths. It appears that the spread of covid19 at San Quentin State Prison is slowing down just a bit with only 32 new cases over the past 2 weeks during an online News Conference inmates and their advocates spoke of little to no social distancing, poor ventilation and little attention to keeping those who have the virus apart from those who dont. Advocates say that too little is being done to prevent another surge and theyve been calling on prison officials to cut the prison population. What concerns us. Not only is the no purchase equipment for small the but the state has done far too little to address population in a suit for too little to address. Moving the medically vulnerable to safety. So far 11,000 inmates have been released early statewide but san quentin remains at just over 100 capacity. Prison officials now reviewing whether to release 6500 inmates who may be medically broken bone or rubble. So far only 8 of those have been released. Well an anti viral nasal spray my fight off the coronavirus a team of ucsf researchers in or near a molecule that they call their own apps they say it would essentially stop the virus in its tracks. Now theyre looking for a partner to help prepare the product for consumers. A number of studies, we know that its stable is a dry powder its table to elevated temperatures and stable to our civilization and finally its properties will allow issue friendly inhome use by measles prayer inhalation and thats really the premise out of this project, we know that it will be inexpensive to produce and therefore likely accessible to the entire world. Researchers say that finding a partner to produce the nasal spray for cell could take at least a few months. And coming up this morning gun violence has erupted over the past week in oakland, well find out what Police Believe is behind this spike of senseless shootings. And tuition or ram what when what they pay well find out why south a Sorority Sisters are calling out their National Leadership to make the tough choice that they say theyre being forced to make.

Well, lets end it on a Southern California because we have some tropical moisture left over. Its going to impact us a little bit this afternoon and this evening. And the very northern peripherals of this but in Southern California with the lake fire going on we dont see a lot of rain happening nearby it now but the flow pattern is certainly bringing it in that general direction a little bit up sloping in the hills sometimes can help out ring out some of that tropical moisture in terms of rain. Its in the forecast for that little slight chance of seeing maybe a shower so it doesnt look real world great. But the elements are in place for that possibility meanwhile, i want that tropical system is this one is still hanging on as a tropical depression. You may have said all yes yesterday wasnt like it would became a Tropical Storm and became downgraded yet again expected to become a Tropical Storm again. Today, however it looks like its not going to hold that way all the way past the weekend weakening to a tropical depression as we get into early next week it looks like its also making a curve away from the u. S. Mainland so good news there. Back toward a cane tropical system on the west coast. We talk about whats going on in Southern California. Here we are up to the north.
