Somewhat unexpected delay, coming in from el sobrante, in to richmond and san pablo. Going to be narrowed down to one lane as they do this. And hopefully it wont take too long. But look at this backup we already have here early in the morning. For this roadwork. That would be in the westbound direction. People will be in stopandgo traffic. That is the worst, isnt it . Sometimes youre stuck in 3 00 stopandgo traffic. Are you kidding me . Before perhaps, saying some words that you probably wouldnt want to hear at this time. But after you get past that. It looks good down to el cerrito. When you get to oakland, traffic is looking good. And at the bay bridge, it is light. Again, give yourself a little extra time on that east shore freeway. 4 02. Lets go to steve. Thank you, sir. Well get to it here. A smoking hot day. One of the few days. High pressure is still there. So it will still be warm to hot. But not as hot as yesterday are what the signs are showing now. A lot of moisture continues to stream up into the sierra. Occasionally high clouds make it here. Some of the higher clouds are making for a warm morning. I mean, 50s, 60s. San jose, 66. Livermore is almost 70 degrees. 65 in fairfield. So if it feels warm to you, it is. Few high clouds, patchy fog. And looks like thats a big area of high pressure. But instead of being over denver and albuquerque, its more centered now over eastern arizona. Patchy fog, still warm to hot. Should come down a few degrees on the inland highs. Thank you, steve. 4 02 is the time. A highspeed crash sent three people to the hospital. It happened just a few hours ago, at third street and carol candlestick point.

This proposed ban will be for people coming into this country, from seven mostly mus a group of advocates is arguing on behalf of 34 individuals who claim their families are being torn apart. Because their waiver applications have been denied or on hold for a long time. The government, however, is arguing the ban is legal. And they want this case thrown out. Meantime, another judge blocked the Trump Administration from enforcing new restrictions on immigrants applying for asylum in the u. S. The policy would require migrants who pass through another country to apply here in the u. S. To first apply in that country, before coming to the u. S. But the judge called that policy inconsistent with current laws. So right now, its on hold until a lawsuit is settled. This morning, both democrats and republicans are claiming victory after the testimony of former special counsel robert mueller. I gather that you believe that knowingly accepting foreign assistance during a president ial campaign is an unethical thing to do. And a crime. And a crime. And theyre questioning, democrats focused on muellers findings that the Trump Campaign met several times with russian operatives. Republicans highlighted the part of muellers report that said there was no evidence of a direct conspiracy by the Trump Campaign. Its time for the curtain to close on the russia hoax. The Conspiracy Theory is dead. Now, House Democratic leaders say their oversight of election interference is far from over. They plan to File Lawsuits to force more testimony. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested impeachment is still on the table. But if it comes to a point, where the cone of silence and the obstruction of justice and the coverup in the white house prevents us from getting that information, that will not prevent us from going forward. In fact, its even more grounds to go forward. We spoke with u. C. Hastings law professor about the legal implications of muellers testimony. He said mueller kept a strong focus within the larger context of election meddling and the threat to american democracy. That we have an ongoing threat from russia and probably will be getting it from other a president s conduct with respect to that. Now, he says muellers refusal to answer questions about certain parts of his report indicates the Justice Department still has unfinished business. He certainly alluded to the fact that there are serious investigations going on. But he simply couldnt speak up. Mueller spun off, as i said, more than a dozen investigations to other parts of the Justice Department. Now be we dont know what is going to come of those. It may well be that there will be further indictments. Levine says mueller defended the integrity of his report and his decision not to indict the president on obstruction of justice. But he noted the president s comments email leaks unpatriotic. Made it official. He will o weeks of massive protest, demanding his resignation. Governor ricardo made the announcement late last night. Ktvus ray bogan. I announce to you that i will be resigning the post of governor, friday, august 2nd. Puerto rico governor ricardo rosio is announcing his resuming. Once the announcement was made, the anger in puerto rico turning into celebration. But its not just the citizens. Wednesday, lawmakers giving roseo an ultimatum. Either step down or face them. In the middle of this crisis. The law, which supplies the constitution in that sense, calls for the secretary of justice to become the next governor for the remainder of the term. Making juan vasquez next in line for governor. However, there are questions surrounding her ability to lead.

For some reason the woman went out on to the tracks. She was pulled out by emergency crews and they rushed her to the hospital. Right now, though, we dont know her condition. One b. A. R. T.

And thats interstate 80. Well tell you more about that coming up. Well, after a day where the temperatures inland and almost everywhere else went way up, will they cool off or stay about the same . Ill take a look. Welcome back to mornings on 2. Happening today, another pg e public hearing about plans to raise the rates over the next few years.

Pg e says none of the money will go to the executive pay. My salary or the salary of my colleagues are excluded from this request.

Cal fire is dealing with two wildfires in the bay area. One started just south of the calaveras reservoir. The fire was first reported at 5 30 last night in the Spring Valley neighborhood close to milipitas. Cal fire says it has burned 85 acres and d. There are or evacuations reported. But one building was damaged. Crews hope to have it completely contained by tonight. And in solano county, 183 acres have burned by the marsh view fire, south of cordelia. Now, skyfox flew over the flames as they ran up a dry hillside, near interstate 680. No homes are threatened right now. The fire is 60 contained. That area often gets a lot of strong winds. So right now, theres no word on when this fire might be fully contained. One homeowner in lake county said hes having a tough time, obtaining Fire Insurance for his property. Ktvu reports, the problem hes facing may soon be an issue for many in california. Since 2012, half of lake countys land masses burned. Mike spurton owns a home. The family insurance policy has just skyrocketed 80 . A hard pill to swallow. He and his wife want to buy another home there to live in. But getting insurance, near impossible. I have run into a literal brick wall. I have tried companies, numbering in the dozens and can find no one of any conventional Insurance Company that will insure the property. The only quote is from the california fair plan, controlled by a consortium of insurers. I have spoken with some that quoted me what a normal policy would be had they issued it. 1700 to 2100. And the number you got from fare . 12,000 to 13,000. Trimming roads are confined by less vegetation. And fire trucks going up the hill will not encounter evacuees going down. That may have no effect on rate hikes and cancellations. Tom vacar, ktvu news. Time is 4 18. Lets get you moving this morning sal has a lot more problems. Lets go to the bay bridge toll plaza first. And you can see that traffic is moving along relatively well with no major problems driving into san francisco. I do want to mention that there is road work, believe it or not, that is causing slow traffic on westbound 80 in richmond. A couple of lanes taken away for grinding and paving. They should be out of there before the main commute comes through. But if youre driving through, there is slow traffic. Gilroy to san jose, we do see slowing. Actually, we dont see any slowing in gilroy. But we see bunching up in morgan hill already. Traffic looks good into the west valley. 880 traffic also looking pretty good. At 4 19. Lets talk to steve. How are you doing, sal . Im well. Had a good time at the game yesterday. Not the result we wanted. But it was nice to get together. That weather. In the shade anyway. It was perfect there in the shade. We do have a pattern here that is going to go from one extreme to the other in about two or three days. If you thought yesterday was hot, it was. It will be a little better today than friday. Saturday looks like another day where inland temps will hit 100. Sunday will still be warm to hot. And cooler for next week. Up and down, roller coaster ride we go. A few high clouds could sneak in here. Holding up the lows in the 60s. The high, though. Ill tell you, thats a big high in the desert southwest. Its been mainly east of us, almost most of the summer. But when it builds back toward us, the end result is what happened yesterday. 50s, 60s. San jose, 66. Oakland, 62. Redwood city, 65. Its a mild morning to the north. Lima valley says what are you talking about . Its 48 here. Penville is down to 51 degrees. There are cool readings. But american canyon, vallejo. And observation in napa, all in the 60s. Pretty mild conditions. Monterey is a little cooler at 57 degrees. Patchy fog will be forming. But a few high clouds are adding a little humidity to the mix as well. But that high continues to dominate much of the four corners and now into california and nevada. Doesnt take much. But it will look like it will back off a teeny bit here thursday into friday. And reload and fire back up as we head into saturday. Saturday looks to be the warmest day of the next 5. And a little cooler sunday. And more so early next week. Today, back into the upper 90s for some. And 60s and 70s by the coast. If you are heading to the valley, even up into lake county for saturday. More so saturday than sunday. But it could be pretty toasty there. Temperatures on the warm side. A little cooler into friday. Then theres your saturday. Still warm to hot sunday. And cooler again by monday. Toasty or downright hot. For some of us. Thank you, steve.

Youll see that video and hear the accusations in a lawsuit, filed against the city. And new developments this morning. Regarding american rapper asap rocky being held in a swedish jail cell. Welcome back to mornings on 2. Surveillance videos at the center of a lawsuit, accusing Palo Alto Police of excessive force. As ktvus reporter jesse gary shows us, the officers are accused of roughing up a suspect and then lying about it in their police report. Its aimed at deterring this type of unlawful behavior. This dishonest behavior by the police. Attorney cody salfen lays out hundreds of pages a badge. This video from the rough arrest of gustalpho alvarez. They tried to conduct a stop. Because, according to the police report, the suspect was known to have a suspended license. The report says the suspect was seen driving in the roadway. But from the video. How do you know who is driving . Reporter alvarez makes a hand gesture and goes back into his mobile home. Condy leaves for a second and calls for backup. Then asks him to surrender. The sergeant grabs the suspect and with help throws him onto the hood of the car. Benitez report says officers move to make an arrest, since, quote, officer his two onview charges against him. Driving on a suspended license and now resisting officers. The report goes on to say, agent destefano and i put him on the hood of his car where he was handcuffed. No other force was used on alvarez. But the Surveillance Video shows officers punching alvarez, and slamming him face first into the cars windshield. Youre going to be bleeding a whole lot. Not a single one of those officers reported this incident properly. Not a single one of those officers adhered to the written policy about informing their superiors about use of force. They claimed officers deprived alvarez of his Fourth Amendment right against unlawful search and seizure. Palo alto police referred us to the city manager for comment. Which said in part, the Police Department has procedures to investigate allegations of misconduct and to hold officers accountable if misconduct is determined. Only Sergeant Benitez is on administrative leave. The others on their shifts. These officers have no business being peace officers. They are dishonest. Theyre violent. They have a veil of secrecy that theyve created. Jesse gary, ktvu fox 2 news. Washington, d. C. Still a buzz. After Robert Muellers sevenhour testimony.
