Been successfully used in treating diseases like hiv cancer and ebola they may be wondering how does this drug differ from remdesevir which has also been used in treating covid19 patients. Remdesevir is an anti viral, but directly target the viral replication so that the machinery of the virus making copies of itself. Right now remdesevir is only available as an ivy medicine and so right now its only approved to be given for people who are hospitalized, this similar to remdesivir youre in the goal is to reduce the amount of virus. But it works differently and that it doesnt target the viral. Replication it uses antibodies to bring the amount of the virus down.

When when our catcher sean murphy blasted a tworun slammed the later on in the 4th 2 outs the bases were loaded, so a huge play there in the white sox rookie pitcher now foster clearly had some nerves going at that moment, he walked to a batters in a row to give the as a onerun lead, but it was not over from there the white sox came back and tied up the as took the lead again in the 5th and that leads us to where we are right now chad pinder was credited with a crucial single in this in the 5th to give the as that lead and they are trying to hang on and pull this came out i can only imagine how electric the coliseum would be right now if there were fans in the stands now the as are going after their first playoff series win since 2009 so as fans should be excited.

Although the greenhouse appears unharmed back over near calistoga road you can see what appears to be the only damage to maria creel high school the exterior wall burned up of one classroom, broken glass litters the ground from blown out windows now boarded up.

And this comes as thousands of Airline Workers could soon be out of work. The pay roll support program had funneled more than 30 billion dollars to the Airline Industry to keep the planes flying and employees on the job. But congress missed the deadline to extend that program which has now expired as of today october 1st as many as 45,000 Airline Workers could be furloughed or laid off now and several airlines say they may have to cut some routes to make to some markets in the coming weeks. Im really angry. I think people thought that this was hard deadline. I believe in cooler heads can prevail, we can get some more aid to these airlines.

After the break well have a live interview with cal fires we can get the latest information on the its a part of get a check now of our forecast with meteorologist Rebecca Strom as we take a live look here at the glass fire. This is. Near mount saint helene us so much smoke into the air the conditions are just very unfavorable for firefighters today, it is super hot super dry. This red flag warning is going into effect theres just so many factors playing into what is a very dangerous fire. Weather pattern for the next couple of days. Rebecca, whats the latest. Yeah speaking the high fire danger that red flag warning yes in effect justine until 6 oclock on saturday morning. And you can see all the red coloring behind me east bay hills north bay mountain Santa Cruz Mountains all under effect and as we zoom in here all across the north bay were expecting wind gusts of anywhere from 15 to 25 Miles Per Hour humidity levels very low. Were expecting over the next couple of days. So not a good combination for firefighters try to get a handle on the glass fire. Outside right now you can see that the air quality not good at all were seeing very hazy conditions and this our live camera on top of the Berkeley Hills overlooking our east bay zone right now, but the entire bay area is under pretty poor air quality today so just trying to keep that in mind we do have a spare the air alert all the way in effect until tuesday, stay indoors if you can and yes, those winds that were talkingabout theyre only going to start kicking up even more so over the next couple of hours into tonight and then as we get into friday night. Thats when things are really going to ramp up were going to see those gusts of up to 20 maybe even 25 Miles Per Hour, especially across our north zone. Our highest elevations. So we will see that into friday night and then things should be coming down as we head to into saturday during the day, heat advisory in effect for the bay area today until 8 oclock tonight as a matter of fact and you can see all the orange color behind me pretty much the entire bay area. Under this heat advisory because were seeing temperatures anywhere from 15 to even 25 degrees above normal for this time of year being october 1st and you can see why temperatures in the 90s that were seeing almost across the board 95 in concord right now 96 in livermore currently at 94 degrees in hayward 89 degrees in downtown oakland right now downtown San Francisco. Youre at 89 99 in redwood city fremont youre at 93, san jose the 90s continue at 93 degrees there and youre north bay zone covered in those 90s 90 in napa 93 in novato and 90 degrees currently in santa rosa. Looking ahead your sevenday around the bay things are going to dip slightly as we get into tomorrow temperature wise but not by much were still going to those mid 90s. Inland 80s around the bay and then 70s at the coast before a cooldown into sunday. Thanks so much well today, the bay areas dealing with intense smoke. Extreme heat, a red flag warning and a flex alert that is a lot to be dealing with i know. Well the conditions though for the glass fire are still pretty bad we want to get the latest now from when tom will from cal fire shes going have an update now whats happening in napa and sonoma counties, thank you so much for joining us here on kron 4 news at 3. We have that update that was about 2 oclock we know the fire is 5 contained. Its burning about 56,000 acres. Whats the firefight planned for this afternoon and into tonight. As the winds start to kick in from this red flag warning up firefighters are going to be a very diligently trying to keep the fire from escaping what that. General containment they have on the fire. They put in control lines to try to stop the fires progression too far and if failed and they just need to find a way to slow it right now the fire gap is pretty active at this so theyre out there doing their best. How does the red flag warning play into what needs to happen tonight. Yes, the red flag started about 1 oclock this afternoon and expected to go through all of today and into tomorrow as well so that with coupled with the high temperatures that were seeing and then very low humidity. Thats why the fires become very active again. If the winds stay in place is going to be a long night because of fires going to continue to be active is going to continue to mount. So there are some new evacuations that have been issued for areas north of calistoga. Threat now if the line doesnt hold is kenwood and glen allen but its looking a lot better for oakmont and santa rosa, how is that all working out today. Yes, so that kind of goes in relation to the wind the winds coming out about on the northwest and coming out the northwest directions is going to push the fire to the south or that direction with that being said it doesnt mean its going to stop the fire from spreading in a northerly direction as well just because of what the winds purdues what they do and how they move around the mountain range, yeah, definitely a the people and keep my out especially in those areas down towards can wear it. Recently they also did just north of on so another area being impacted. And that just happened this afternoon correct. Now as aircraft an option at all or is it still too smoky out there. You know aircraft has been up and down it has been doing some and theyve been using it as much as they possibly when the conditions allowed actually crafting going to see what theyre doing on the ground. It has to as make sense for them going into it also has to be safe. Thats probably the biggest thing. So some of the concern with the winds is that if the fire starts going uphill like could threaten lake county. Can you explain that a little bit correct so that would mean the fire would need to move more to the right now the winds are coming in. Its possible if the winds start coming more out of the west it could potentially start pushing out fire towards the north. Becomes a little bit more out of the northwest its going to push it down further down napa county. Sonoma county area. So that would be probably more the direction know. How does that work with the firefighting attack when youre just at the mercy of the wind today. Yeah, its like when the fire started you know and weve seen this before in re in past years 2017 we saw this with the tubbs fire. The only thing firefighters can do sometimes at that point is make sure people are out of harms way. It becomes a lifesaving effort rather than trying to stop the fire because its going to be a monster that theyre not going to able to stop they just have to let do its near follow its path to try to protect the homes and make sure people are out of the area. And i heard in the press conference and cal fire to i believe it was the chief who said this that the record before. This year for fire burning in california was one 0. 5 million acres an hour at 8 million just this season alone in october is notoriously the worst month for fire. Burning and destruction in california, how how are you guys doing. Its definitely been a long year already with the way things are going in youre coming in october.

Ireland Supreme Court has ruled that bread sold at subway has too much sugar to be legally defined the spread. In ireland bread is considered a staple food and therefore is not subject to a value added tax. This all started when an irish subway franchisee said they shouldnt pay the tax on products, including tea coffee and heated sandwiches. A panel of judges rejected that appeal on tuesday ruling that the bread sold by subway contains too much sugar to be categorized as a staple food. Subway says disagrees with the ruling.
