Make for a bit of a grey start right now were in the 50s for most areas with a few 40s on the map in both livermore 49 degrees. Although napa you were there just a minute ago that youre actually right up to 50 degrees so temperatures wobbling around just a little bit for some of our spots, San Francisco oakland and san jose in the 60s to 70s for high temperatures later today really nice afternoon conditions to be looking forward to and i know it will be a beautiful friday and saturday to get out there and hopefully enjoy the 70s but will it be all right on the roads is question robert is here to tell us more about that i guess it kind of depends on where theyre heading this morning job because some fox look great other spots not so much, but ill start off with a look at the bridges around the bay area this morning a live look. At the bay bridge toll plaza this is one of the good commute 80 west in San Francisco doing fine as you can see its wide open here at the toll plaza so no worries no problems read a very quick 12 minutes to make it off to the fremont street but heres a trouble spot and this is the nimitz freeway to the north right around 98th avenue just getting word of a new accident there so its backing up traffic all the way into san leandro and your backup spilling over to highway 2. 38 so once again oakland northbound at 80 98th avenue accident working it is solid from 2. 38 heading into san leandro thats going to push up your drive time if youre about to take a 26 minutes and growing to make your way from san leandro to downtown oakland, so im wrecking 5 recommending 5. 80 instead of the nimitz freeway. So thats a look at the trouble spots dariann james coming up well take a look at some more bridges and check in on the san mateo bridge. Richmond sandra fell all right sounds good. Thanks. A lot rob and good alright lets get to our top story this morning, more businesses are being allowed to resume indoor operations today in Alameda County now this includes restaurants and places of worship. But there are some restrictions as there always are so lets find out whats going on kron fours reyna harvey has the rules shes live in Alameda County rain a as well as Family Entertainment centers. They can also open up an Indoor Worship Services so churches can open their doors as well to people there at 25 capacity or less than a 100 people because some churches are mega churches and they might be able to hold a capacity of 25 which is much higher than a 100 so theyre saying which ever number is underneath that obviously as ive been talking to people there are a lot of them who are split down the middle excited some just a little cautious take a listen. Yeah, i think its very exciting that our numbers are im concerned as in the rest of the country theyre not so it looks like any moment they can they can go up if were not very careful. I think we have to start somewhere so. So maybe this is a good start personally i i still not go do indoor im a im a posh serwer in fosse the were certainly not going to open up the church at. We dont think its its quite so ive mixed feelings about it when it comes to and all businesses must implement Safety Measures you going back inside they also are required wear masks, social distancing is going to be key for a lot of these businesses like the past or that i interviewed mentioned not everyone who can open up will be comfortable with opening up so were going to see in the coming days, what actually happens in terms of how many people are going to feel safe enough to actually come for now reporting here in alameda arena, harvey kron 4 news thats the question all right, well wait and see thank you rate him. From Alameda County and lets jump across the bay to San Francisco where the School District there says it will reopen for in Person Learning in january starting next year special education classes and preschools will reopen followed by kindergartners and first graders the district is also right now looking for a provider who can conduct regular covid19 testing. 7 05 and the south bay playgrounds are reopening in san jose kron 4 Sarah Stinson is live there with a look at some of the concerns about making this work safely. Sarah. Yeah, heres the thing you can go to the playgrounds now, but its not your own risk and theres a few guidelines are going to follow as you head to the playground. If theres going to be a line outside say where im at right now lens in park and then youre going to need to be conscious of that and keep their visit to 30 minutes because Everybody Needs a little play time. So you got to be considerate now theres also couple other rules that we know that their opening 290 playgrounds and 36 exercise areas, but you need to follow all the rules posted on the signs that will be at each of these areas. And it will be up to the parents in the caretakers at these playgrounds to make sure that these rules are followed including only using open facilities with members of your own household because social gatherings are still prohibited wash or sanitize hands before and after using the playground slash equipment. Wear face coverings at all time of course keep 6 feet of distance from other people and no sharing personal items or toys. Now youre going want to bring wipes or Something Like that to sanitize the used equipment before and after use i think that will really help. The touching aspect of it. The city will be monitoring the parks and facilities to make sure people are being safe reopening then in the next several weeks though our barbecue and picnic areas for household use also big news hoops and nets will soon be reinstalled people have been waiting months for this they love getting out there on the Basketball Court and dont own our own Basketball Courts of people are excited. To get back out there, but again you do need to keep distance and that can be quite hard was a contact sport like basketball when youre playing defense and stuff like that volleyball might be a little bit easier. Youre going to have to get creative and im sure people will just want to get out there and shoot the ball, reporting live in san jose Sarah Stinson back to you i think your idea was great of playing horse right. You dont have to get close to its great game thats a great thing. Thank you sarah. The virus cases that weve been tracking across the u. S. Are rising sharply fact we just received word that the u. S. Has had the highest singleday record yesterday of coronavirus cases there were more than 77,000 cases yesterday alone and its important to note the cases are increasing in almost every single state. Now there is some good news major progress has been made in the worlds fight against covid19 the first drug to actually treat the virus has been approved by the fda, its not a preventative its a treatment after you get it. Its remdesevir youve heard of it its an antiviral medicine given through an i v for patients who need hospitalization before getting approval from the fda it was authorized for emergency use only back in the spring stafford was part of the Clinical Trial with the maker of the Drug Gilead Sciences which was based in foster city. Weve seen people get off oxygen quickly get better faster go home faster we use this medication so i feel like its really help people especially when theyre on oxygen before. Get into bed. And the drug comes with a hefty price tag though the cost but will set you back more than 2000 if youre covered by Government Health programs and the price could go up to more than 3,000 for patients that have private insurance and if you have no insurance have to pay out of pocket. Well in the price of depend on your income and other factors. Progress in a search for a treatment doctors say on a national level. Were in a 3rd wave of the pandemic some states like wisconsin for example and Positivity Rate of 18 to 20 compare that to here in california where were under 3 ucf fs of i raleigh g professor doctor, George Rutherford says that if people wear masks and socially distance during the holidays, california could find itself. In a good situation if they dont that things could get worse. My advice is to minimize risk at all times that means not getting lots of people together from lots of different pods if you will from lots of different bubbles. Just try to have as much of the south side as possible. And cranky people separate so that if you have you know 2 families there have 2 tables. Were talking about thanksgiving out die outside you know just with that like 2 or 4 people in a lot of people are doing that a recent study projects an additional 167,000 people could die by february. But that number could be cut in half just by all of us Wearing Masks thats what the Research Finds lets take a look at the numbers across california and the bay area with more than 894,000 people now testing positive and over 70,000 deaths in california in the bay area. Include 1670 people who have died of covid. Well the california attractions and Parks Association is now considering legal action in its bid to reopen seem parks. This comes after the state laid out strict reopening guidelines that prevent major theme parks like disneyland and Universal Studios and 6 flags here in the bay area from opening anytime soon, smaller theme parks of course can reopen Outdoor Attractions at limited capacity if their county is in the orange tier of the states covid19 Monitoring System in the larger park say they should have the same right to do the same thing.

We have strong winds about 20 Miles Per Hour right now you know the temperatures are in fact a little bit cooler. There is still vegetation its ready to receive any spark and if it does itll be a quickly spreading wildfire nearly anywhere north california right now. And metro fire is gearing up for what could be a busy few days were watching the weather for enhancing dispatches on red flag days member helicopters and bulldozers staff so will respond rapidly and quickly and appropriately to any report of a vegetation fire at sacrament region. Theres things you can do. Firefighters always promote Defensible Space around your home got to invest will says you really need to wait until spring to do the yard work of clearing brush and weeds safely. As we move on without any periods of rain and that can go all the way told december or even january as weve seen in recent years the vegetation continues to dry out its less dependent on temperature its more dependent on how much precipitation that weve received and if you see smoke call 911 the worst thing you can do is assume that somebody else did what if they made that same assumption, doug johnson fox 40 news. So were looking at cooler mean we can out that that its dry but its going to be cooler this week a little bit of relief here for saturday and sunday and beyond to maybe lets find out. Weve got john trouble standing by john yeah, definitely some relief this weekend guys as temperatures cool from the 80s and 90s that we had been seeing to leave the 70s today across the bay area. Much relief from the hot and dry conditions that fall has brought us so far unfortunately, the dry conditions and the winds looks like something thats going to stay with us a little bit of low cloud cover over San Francisco in the rest of the bay area this morning thats making for blurry view of downtown San Francisco from the north bay right here as we work our way into the afternoon youre going to notice less of the cloud cover but a bit more of the winds not enough today for red flag warnings to really be in effect we are actually going to be looking at downgraded windspeed today and tomorrow afternoon so definitely a breeze but not like we had been saying its sunday that all eyes are on is this is the day right here where wind speeds begin to pick up all over again and into monday morning becoming even more widespread and even more significant just yet calistoga fairfield San FranciscoOakland Hayward all looking at winds gusting regularly into a 3040 mile per hour range and peak wind gusts on top of that. These winds one of the problems here affecting areas that dont usually see winds as strong we will be seeing them those when prone area certainly going to continue to see strong winds. But areas that are usually calm are going to get in the mix as well. This is why fire danger is going to increase into that latter part of the weekend sunday into monday. Still only a couple of red flag warnings in effect right now that is for Solano County where fairfield and vallejo you see in red and then mendocino as well as lake countys on the north end of the bay area. Gold rate here is indicating high wind watches that actually wont take effect until sunday, lasting into monday. So what is the primary risk here well extreme fire danger as these winds pick up weve had such dry weather lately humidity is going to be very low and then of course theres dry tinder to see if theres a spark a blaze can grow rapidly even if temperatures are as hot as they have been we also have those periods of gusty offshore winds in areas that havent necessarily seen significant wind so far this season, so its not just the north bay mountains, its all of us and in addition to those winds some very low humidity down into the Single Digits which means very parched conditions and conditions right for wildfire. Robin. All right. Thank you john lets check in on the traffic a little problem working right now at the richmond sandra fell bridge. We have a stall in the way and its causing a big backup. This is 5. 80 westbound right there at mid span. We have a car blocking and this is your back up so lots heavy traffic here leading up to the scene that bump you up to a whopping 36 minutes to make from castro through the tolls and across the span so its only a stall the causing some big delays so get out there early or hold off until they cleared and ill let you know when that happens but its definitely one of our slower bridges here the bay bridge 80 west, no problems, no crashes friday light into San Francisco. Normally youd on fridays we do get a backup at the toll plaza, but it just starts a little bit later in the morning commute as opposed to monday through thursday, so probably happened today we dont have any problems or crashes so 11 minutes thats a good drive off to fremont street a problem on the nimitz or problem just the nimitz it northbound at 98th avenue we had crash was blocking there in oakland, its all the way, but it backed up traffic on to 2. 38 so now to 38 is backing up onto 5. 80 heading all the way over to the nimitz once you get on to the nimitz its gonna clear up so once again the slowing on the nimitz clear 38 still jam 12 minutes here to make your way into downtown oakland, well check more slow spots coming up back to you thanks a lot rob, a 7. 20 and for your money this morning walgreens expands covid testing to children age 3 and older and the gap is closing 30 of their stores.

It seems like. Now we are still in the midst of fire danger despite the cool down though, so there is a catch to it. But we will take the cooldown regardless looking outside at your center tower cam at San Francisco skies are little bit on the gray side theres some low stratus clouds having pushed in across the bay during overnight hours. Not a whole lot of fog to be talking about but yeah definitely a gray and pretty fall feeling start as for fire danger, it has diminished today and tomorrow which is a bit of good news, the only red flag warnings left her in solano lake and portions of mendocino counties now what youre seeing in gold on this map these are advisories that will take effect come sunday as winds pick back up again even with the cooler weather its going to be dry and with gusts as high as 50 Miles Per Hour sunday night into monday.

John so lets check in on or shall we. So the problem was a stall which west bound 5. 80 minute span thats still there. But im just getting word of another stall west bound 5. 80 at the west end of the bridge. So now we have 2 problems in your way in the commute direction and its adding to the big backup here leading up to the toll plaza, so if the richmond sandra fell commute is a part of your drive get out there early a whopping 43 minutes because of those 2 stalls on the stand thats why they did a hot spot doesnt this look more like a picture instead of a live look right this is life and those folks are just barely moving so torture going to have to deal with hold off on this commute if you can let you know when they get those vehicles out of your way, but its not all bad out there its all good here at the bay bridge toll plaza smooth sailing into San Francisco trouble free no delays all morning 12 minutes off to fremont street which is great right.

I dont see any major issues for 5. 80 and then one o one for morgan hill to san jose only 10 that drive time still smooth and on time back to you, thanks a lot rob and its 7. 32 and we are 11 days away from the november election and. Last night was the final debate it was finally hear President Donald Trump did not interrupt job, i did not interrupt the actually both made their points seems pretty good. We got to hear from both the alice find out political analyst michael yaki whether or not any undecided voters were swayed by what we saw last night good morning michael. Good morning first of all cool studio thats all i can its what we cant wait to finally have you back in studio in this white house. I cant i cant wait to get my vaccine Regeneron Regn visit here and then show so we had the debate last night obviously compared to the first debate the last time the 2 were together on stage very different terms of tone and style yet let it were going start with what were going to start with covid just because most of it was covid driven and the questions so lets listen to one interchange and then you can give us your thoughts. We have a direct scene thats coming. Its ready. Its going to be announced within weeks and its going to be delivered we have operation warp speed which is the military is going to distribute the vaccine 220,000 americans dead. Anyone whos response for that many deaths should not remain as president United States of america. He this is the same fellow told you this going to end by easter last time this the same fellow who told you that. Dont worry were going to end this by the summer were about to go into a dark winter. A dark winter. And he has no clear plan i say were learning to live with that we have no choice we cant lock ourselves up in a basement like. You know does he says and you know were learning to live with people are learning to die with it its not my fault that he came here, its chinas fault, and you know what its not joes fault that it came here either its chinas fault. All right your thoughts on that exchange. I think one of the difficulties of any debate format is especially with donald trump is the lack of Fact Checking and just say that the vaccine is going to be here in a few weeks. Well, we know that the results are. Going to be published by one of the one of the factors, joe well its an event has be all has be looked at is own cdc has said maybe lake you too early to 3 for mass distribution of the vaccine. So i mean these are things every going to i think that what happened here is that trump decided he needed to have some semblance of a plan but he still doesnt have a plan. He just doesnt have a plan that that that goes to how we deal with the fact schools or art opening the way they should be colleges are open, you know were barely open in the bay area. So you know this is something again that be he did not want to have led off the debate because the sort of set the tone for whats going on and when you think about how debates go people tune in and they won their interest and engage those stay on but they see and they if they see nothing new. They start to turn off and im and i think thats could have been what happened is somewhat to donald trump last night is he did have a better debate performance. But it started off with covid and seen really nothing new. Probably did not help him very much. They were especially trump much more restrained. I mean i i know they have the might kill switch and everything but i rarely heard used it, they just were taking turns they really were. Right well actually that might kill switches only on the 2 minute opening so. They just flipped them they just automatically flipped out the other purchase mike also Kristen Welker did amazing job of keeping things on track and i dont know she terminated trump or what but he pretty much stuck to script. Fact the only time anyone tried to interrupt someone was actually i think toward the end of the debate joe biden wanted started to yeah. Trump and chris workers at the dublin implementation he said okay, so it was like said it was a low bar to go over into the first debate but in the end. This is you know this is all about as it is james said, and you said early on about the undecideds which the sliver of the voter of the vote right now maybe 5 when it was 15 at this time 4 years ago. And i just dont know if this is going to be enough to to. Even a good in a fairly decent performance for President Trump. Its going to be enough to have that break in a big way. To him where he needs almost all decided to break his way in order to start making up the deficit in a lot of swing states that he badly needs in order to win this election. He made pitch for suburban last night he also africanamerican voters, lets listen to some of the. A question of race. I mean i dont know what to say i got criminal Justice Reform done and Prison Reform in opportunity zones i took care of black colleges and universities. I dont know what to say i am the least races person i cant even see the au. Ience because its so dark but i dont care whos in the audience. Im the least races person in this room keep or sure on every single racist fire. Every single one started off his campaign coming down the escalator saying is you rid of those. Mexican rapists hes ban muslims because theyre muslims he is moved around and made everything worse across the board this guys a dog whistle about big as a form core. So again, you know goes back to the point is what he said last night about Race Relations in america enough to sway undecided especially those that might lean in the in the thought that yeah he does exacerbate some racial tensions in this country. When this if this goes into i think one of the issues that joe biden is having in the election right now just young black men in and whether or not theyre going to be voting and voting for him and certainly this is a this is an instance where joe biden is vulnerable. The crime that first step back the ability chance or not incarcerate so many African American man. In this country something that the congress and the president didnt act. Last year and its a very good good step. On the other hand you have to balance that against the fact that. Joe biden is right the president has a gigantic dog whistle on race and uses it all the time whether its in charlottesville, whether it was the this summer when you said when the looting sharp the start of the shooting starts when he basically people out on the streets dogs that he knows exactly what he means by that. I mean i think job i need a good job of reminding people who he was but again, you know there is a segment of the population of the black population that by need to get. Theyve been targeting that thats what barack obama is going is out there right now trying to do young black men to get out to vote for joe biden and some of them and i think trump did make this point very well. I have resentment toward the crime bill of 1994 and what did in the explosion of incarceration of black man in the United States. And one of the other big Division Points in america is the issue of immigration the situation on the u. S. Mexico border with those detention facilities child separation at all that night and in the news yesterday before the debate we just talked about how they were still trying to reunite those. 50500 kids. Who cant be reunite with their parents because they were separated years ago, lets listen to what they said. Yes were working on it very with were trying very hard but a lot of these kids come out without the parents they come over through cartels and through coyotes and through gangs is 500 plus kids came with parents. They separated at the border to make it a disincentive to come to begin with the first and they did it we change the policy response did sent the cages they who built the cage us talk about the cages talk about were talking about what happened parents worst ripped their kids were ripped from their arms and separated. At that point that was an emotional poll, i think for a lot of viewers of the debate last night on you right. Yeah, i do and for me is for me, its especially resident because im on the u. S. Commission on civil rights and i actually lead a report on the child separation policy that we issued earlier this year and it was just awful. This is a deliberate policy. Designed to try and intimidate and threaten families. They were based signed away waivers for the kids in languages they didnt understand the kids werent told where their parents were going kids as young as as young as infants. Who are nursing or were taking i mean this is one of the most shameful episodes of American History and the the Trump Administration rightly deserves condemnation fort and so i think that this is a this is a good point that job. I mean why did but trump kept saying. Yelling sick who built the cages who built the cajuns who built the cages. Ill tell ill tell you about that and i mean this is this a somewhat complicated issue but in 2014, theres a gigantic sts. At the border and obama has ice had no well that case the ins had no capability dealing with that and get this temporary facilities to hold people while they process them and yes they did look like they did likely look like ages they did not separate families. They did not separate women and their and their and their children it was an end we actually issued a report 2015, highly critical of the Obama Administration of the commission and civil rights about how they dealt with this because it was they werent prepared. The Border Patrol do know what they were doing and they these legacy cages like a better word are still were still left there but they were never meant to be a long term detention facility for anyone and certainly not the way that the Trump Administration use them the basin. They honse children where theyre all drinking from one chilly water fountain. Theres no toilet facilities they can have we can help our food, its its its apples and oranges and yes, yeah infrastructure was built. Some time ago for your different situation. It was abuse by the Trump Administration. For the child separation policy very clear sense for can thanks for explaining that thank you michael and of were out of time here today but next tuesday, were one week away from the election. So. Well be looking forward maybe if youre willing have you back and give us a preview of whats going to lou and you have one week and everyone you know get your vote and now youre going out tonight. Thank you very much michael. The unfair money bail system. He, accused of rape. While he, accused of stealing 5. The stanford rapist could afford bail; got out the same day.
