The bill signed yesterday by Governor Newsom allows that board to suspend racing at a race track if the health of a horse or a jockey is in jeopardy. Now, in the past, the board could only recommend suspension. But the track owner would have the final say. The changes come after the deaths of 30 horses at santa anita race track in Southern California during the winter season, which by the way, ended this past sunday. We have an update on a story that 2 investigates first broke last month. We have learned that a state Health Agency is now testing an Alameda County sheriffs substation for radiation. This follows at least five cases of cancer, among young, seemingly healthy deputies who worked at the eden substation in san leandro. Theyre convinced that something inside caused their cancer. The Union Representing the deputies is pleading with the counties for additional radiation tests. Either make sure that the facilities are safe so we can ensure the membership of that. Or if theyre not safe, get them out of there. And take steps to fix it so it is. Literally, everybody at this duty station went home and checked themselves, after the second or third guy got it. And everybody is on high alert now. 2 investigates, the county has never commented on the building or the cancer cases, despite repeated attempts for a response. Our time is now 5 15.

Ar state beach. So doplaying with children. But this popular beach received a grade of f when it comes toant water quality. Ranked as having the worst in the bay area. And third of all california beaches. Multiple cases of sewage bills in this area. Sometimes that might happen. Because if theres a connection between the storm sewage line and the system. There might be overflows during intense rain flow events. And that can discharge some bacteria. This is the second year in a row, the beaches made the list. Two of the 10 made the top 10 of the beach bummer list. We are at risk of gastrointestinal illness, will increase as the grades seasons more bacteria runod news.

There is slow traffic in pittsburgh o. Westbound highway 4. And we have been looking to see if anything pops up. I dont anything causing that. There was road work in the area.

Our first in the eastern pacific. That would be Tropical Storm alvin. Picked up a little bit of intensity, but only 60 miles per hour. Its moving northwest, thoughal sea surface temperatures. And a colder environment. It has strengthened the last 24 hours. But does not look like it will pose any threats unless its to shipping interests. These are the highs yesterday. 72 in livermore. 74 in ukiah. Concord at 74. Fairfield, only 76 degrees. These are some of the cool lows this morning. Pem grove, Napa Healdsburg and napa. Mix of lower clouds, higher clouds and sun. Cool and breezy, not as windy as yesterday. The source of all of this is a very strong low.

Foa partly sunny, partly cloudy day. This is generating rain in the pacific northwest. 5 31. This is when things pick up. And sal tells you, things are well, theyre okay.

There is a crash right there. And traffic is going to be okay so far. But the medics and the Fire Department heading out to the scene. If youre catching a flight to San Francisco airport. Get on the road earlyish. Or use el camino real. To get past burlingame. Slide into the airport that way. It might cause a delay. Well see it just happened. Also, were looking at a new injury crash on 37 at lakeville. Heading to novato right there. And the traffic is going to be a little slow already. On 37, leaving vallejo. Solano county commute looks all right. Coming in through fairfield, in through hercules. And 680 looks all right as well. This is a look at 80, between carquinez bridge. And the macarthur maze. And you will see that traffic is going to be busy. If you are driving at the bay bridge toll plaza. It is backed up all the way out to the maze. 5 32. Lets go back to the desk. Thank you, sal. 10 down, 10 to go. The second group of democratic president ial hopefuls take the stage tonight in miami to conclude the first round of the 2020 debates. Now, last right night, we heard the first group touch on some of the biggest issues facing the country. Including gun control and healthcare. The debates in miami are an opportunity for some of the lesserknown to get attention. We can talk about climate, guns, all of these issues that we all care about. We have a perception problem with the Democratic Party. We are not connecting to the working class people. And the very stage that i represent in ohio, in the industrial midwest. I know the importance of our national security. As well as the terribly high cost of war. Gime change war to next. Now, the debates are spread the 10 candidates for each night chosen at random. The first night had mostly lowertier contenders, except for senator elizabeth warren, who has seen her poll rising. Warren explains why she needs universal healthcare. I spent a good chunk of my life, studying why family goes broke. And one of the number 1 reasons is the cost of healthcare. Medical bills. And thats not just for people who dont have insurance. Its for people who have insurance. Now, tonights debate will include the front runners. Joe biden, and Bernie Sanders at center stage. Along with pete buttigieg, kamala harris. John hickenlooper. And andrew yang. Plus, some lesserknown candidates like author marianne williamson. And michael bennet. Political analyst brian stoble stopped by to give his insight on how the candidates held up on stage. And he tells us, one stuck out the most last night. Again, i think warren scored some points on the economy. She had a passion tonight that stood out. Which i think most pundits thought she would, given that the field is not hate to say it, as strong as it will be tomorrow night. Some others, a little stiff, hung back a little too much. But thats the nature of this form at. Now, sobel went on to say that although sanders was not at last nights debate, his presence was felt as they seemed to take a more progressive tone. Joe garofoli will join us in studio to give his insight. Again, thats all coming up this morning on the 9. Time is 5 35. Turning now to washington and a stilldeveloping story. We are watching the Supreme Court, waiting for its rulings on the key case involving the u. S. Census. Theyre expected to decide whether the Trump Administration can add a controversial question to the census next year. Ktvus Cristina Rendon is in our newsroom. Reporter good morning. The justices are set to take the bench at 7 00 a. M. Local time with five cases still unresolved. One of them being that longawaited question on a Citizenship Question for the 2020 leak. This is a topic the high court has been hearing for months after hearing extensive arguments back in april. The question would ask if a person is a citizen of the United States. The Trump Administration says it needs to ask if they are american citizens in order. Critics say it will discourage some from filling out the paper. Its not about a line on a form. Its about whether or not everyone in america counts. You want to know who is in this country. I think as a sovereign nation. We have that right. Its been a question that has been on the census for decades. A Citizenship Question has not been included since 1950. And a ruling today, expected because the questionnaires need to be printed out, before the start of the census in april 2020. Chief Justice John Robert could be the one to issue that ruling. And another highprofile could be the gerrymandering. Again, were expecting a decision from the high court around 7 00. Or a little just after that time. And we know that Alameda County leaders and allies of immigrant communities are already planning to rally in response to the ruling, whatever it may be. That will happen on the steps of the Alameda County superior courthouse. Live at noon. Thank you, cri stinna. Another day for the boeing 737 max jets. They have been grounded since march after two deadly plane crashes in five months. The new flaw is not linked to the deadly crashes. But the faa says the enthey det to do so. Time is now 5 38. Today in morgan hill, grief counselors will be there when the ford dealership reopens after tuesdays deadly workplace shooting. Flowers have been placed outside the dealership for the victims. 50yearold brian light. And javy soto. He was engaged to be married. And father of two children. Soto was the manager of the Parts Department. He had worked at the dealership since 2012. Brian light had two sons and was recruited last year from the sunnyvale ford dealership. Just heartbreaking. You know . Theyre family guys. Very personable. Very nice, outgoing. People. Tonight, at 8 00, a candlelight vigil will be held for the two victims at the downtown morgan hill amphitheater. A go fund me page has also been set up for their families. Police in morgan hill say their investigation so far shows that attack was spontaneous. It was not carefully planned out. Authorities say the gunman, 60yearold steven leit had worked in the Parts Department for eight years. He was told tuesday afternoon, he was being let go. Investigators say he stayed in the store for a while. Then went to his car, came back with a. 38caliber gun. He barged into the office, shot his supervisor, javier soto. Brian light then came and fight with leit. Before leit shot him twice. Brians actions here are nothing short of heroic. And those actions allowed people to flee. A lot of the precious seconds they needed after fleeing the first shot. Leit later killed himself. The police searched his home. They say they seized 12 guns, all of them were registered in his name. We are now learning about funeral details for one of the victims who was stabbed to death in a remote area of skyline boulevard. Above woodside. The funeral for 32yearold taxi driver, abdul nasher will be held at 1 00 saturday afternoon. At the fiji mask in south San Francisco.

Today is national hiv testing today. Free hiv tests will be offered in many Health Clinics around the bay area. The goal, raising awareness about the importance of regular screenings and the benefits of an early diagnosis. The centers for Disease Control says about 1. 1 u. S. Li and one 7 dont even know they have it. Today, more than 100 electricians will take part in the annual walk a mile in her shoes event. That features men wearing womens heels to help raise awareness and put an end to Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and human trafficking. Theyure sponsoring are sponsoring the event this evening. Pride festivities are beginning ahead of the big parade in San Francisco. And even though a lot of the big activities dont start until saturday, some people have already come into town, ready to celebrate. Boutiques, bars and restaurants are already decked out in the rainbow flag. They want to take part in the history but also want people to honor their lgbtq history. The theme this year is generations of resistance. We want people to enjoy pride. But also celebrate and remember what got us here. All of the year uprising. And protest and fighting. Pride means knowing who you are, owning who you are, not being ashamed. Just being you. The 49th annual pride parade kicks off on sunday, at 10 30 in the morning. It starts at embarcadero, and ends at the civic center. And you can watch an encore presentation of our ktvu special, a history of pride. That airs here at 6 30. Time is 5 45. Pg e is talking about wildfire safety and spreading awareness. Last night, pg e hosted an open house in napa. Talking about what theyre doing after the devastating wildfires of the last couple of years. Pg e had to file for bankruptcy. After many of the fires were linked to perg equipment. Its new strategy is to turn off power in advance when the fiery conditions call for it. California is not a thirdworld country. Were all paying for reliable power. We understand that this is definitely an inconvenience more than an inconvenience. But a hardship, shutting off the power. And we want people to take steps now. To be prepared. Now, many people also had questions and concerns about Fire Prevention tree trimming. They said many of the contractors, theyre coming in from out of state. And really dont have enough expertise in doing that. Meantime, firefighters and Police Officers were in the east hills yesterday. Urging people to clean up the space around and outside their homes, as soon as possible. The goal is to protect property from wildfires, as the hot, dry months of summer began. The 1991 Oakland Hills firestorm is a painful reminder of the extreme danger in that area. Fiber experts are reminding neighbors that heavy vegetation around homes, creates a very dangerous situation. There is a high probability that we may not be able to save their home, or well start our firefighting activities and suppression at a different location, where we do have defensible space. Now, authorities in oakland called this a crash fire safety program. They set monday as the deadline to clean up debris. A jury has found the Thomas Keller restaurant group, not guilty of pregnancy discrimination. Yesterdays verdict clears the famous chef and his two restaurants involved in the suit. Vanessa scott allen was a server at new york, before requesting a transfer to the French Laundry in yountville. After moving to napa valley, she was told there was no job for her, just weeks after telling managers she was pregnant. Attorneys and call it time now, more than 98 of the citations handed out by b. A. R. T. For fareevading last year. Apparently they were thrown out. The San Francisco chronicle reports, b. A. R. T. Issued almost 68 citations. About one in 10 when were cited paid their fines. Thats about 75 for adults 55 for children. That still left b. A. R. T. With about 6200 unpaid fines.
