Now, here is sal, who will help me out here. Yes. Highway 24, we are going there and it looks pretty good so far if you are waiting to get on the roads. The commute on 80 and the Early Morning commute, there are a couple of delays. Traffic is moving pretty well. 4 31 and lets go back to the desk. Students at Mcclymonds High School are going to three different schools in oakland this morning. The Oakland Unified School district close to the campus after a toxic chemical was found in the groundwater and the district is warning parents it could remain closed for two weeks. The closure has many Mcclymonds High School students concerned because they are missing valuable time in the classroom. We have school work. We will be way behind on stuff we should have been learning. We have them doing assignments at home and we hope not to have lost too much in the education process. Students will not be punished for late assignments and ninth graders will attend classes at the Ralph Bunchie Academy and others will go to the west Oakland Middle School and seniors will go to westlake. The marin county board of supervisors will vote on the latest application for a delivery only Medicinal Cannabis business and they will hear from ray group that wants to open a shop with a Delivery Service behind a whole foods store on miller avenue and that is. 75 miles from the campus of Tamalpais High School and that is too closed for many in the has strict. They have sent a letter to the board saying that opening this cannabis Delivery Service would send the wrong message to students. The messaging it sends is what is okay and what isnt okay and is cannabis okay . Only staff would go in and out with zerofoot traffic from the public and they wont even know we are there. The company said they will only deliver two medical customers and there will be no walkins but the school board said teenagers often walk past the proposed site. Teachers, parents and Community Leaders are rallying to ask the School District if they could avoid more budget cuts after the School Superintendent announced plans to cut 26 million in funding. The rally will be at the district building on franklin street starting at 4 00 this afternoon. Its 4 33 and San Francisco has a homeless shelter for pregnant women and new mothers. Its in the Bayview District and is officially open with a new facility that has 17 private rooms, a kitchen and dining area and a backyard. Most of the women and children will stay there for six months and the head of the program said they will have parenting classes, therapy and help in finding permanent housing. Its incredibly important that we serve people who have new life either about to be born or already born, to make sure they are well cared for as they come into this world so they dont become people who are homeless 1520 years from now. The program is the first of its kind in San Francisco and is funded by the Citys Department of homelessness and supported housing. An Appeals Court upheld the trump rules against funding for abortion was supporters of abortion rights saying the ruling will make it more difficult for women trying to get an abortion. The ninth Circuit Court of appeals upheld the new rule that bans taxpayer funded clinics from making abortion referrals and the decision overturns preliminary injunctions issued by lower courts in three states, including california. A new federal policy is being enforced for those trying to get a green card. The socalled public charge rule went in effect with immigrants using Government Social services with an income requirement and it makes it easier for the u. S. Immigration officials to deny green cards for people that are deemed likely to need assistance, such as food stamps, medicaid or section eight housing. Critics say the rule unfairly targets people who dont speak english. The main impact is that people ask whether they should take themselves off cal fresh, a grocery benefit or that they shouldnt apply for it because they are afraid it would affect their immigration status. The white house said the new green card rule protects hardworking american taxpayers and will safeguard welfare programs for americans in need. President donald trump is wrapping up his two day visit to india and earlier today, the president and the first lady visited a memorial dedicated to mahatma gandhi. They scattered flower petals and planted a tree nearby and President Trump then held a joint News Conference with the indian Prime Minister to highlight the strength of the relationship between the u. S. And india. The two leaders of each country, we feel very strongly about each other and we have done something that is very unique and weve made wonderful deals for each of our countries. Tonight, the president and first lady will be honored at a state dinner at the president ial palace. Investors hope to see a big turnaround on wall street this morning with the dow having slumped more than 1000 points yesterday, the worst day for the stock market in two years. Investors worry about the spread of the coronavirus with Economic Growth being weakened. The s p 500 shed 2 for just the 19th time. Supply chains in china bring the broad market slide. The white house has a new plan to attack the coronavirus outbreak as its spread around the world rattles the global stock market and doug luzader has the latest from washington. Reporter weve seen more cases of coronavirus popping up, especially in south korea and china and it already has an impact here at home. As coronavirus containment efforts intensify around the world, back in washington, pressure has been mounting on the administration. Where are you and where is your plan . Reporter the white house is floating a 2. 5 billion plan to deal with the virus and vaccine development. As cases mount, the World Health Organization is not calling it a pandemic, yet. If you are not calling it a pandemic now, we are almost on the brink of it being considered by many as a pandemic. Reporter even though cases in the u. S. Are very limited, the impact is real. A massive selloff yesterday on wall street was tied to concerns about the effect the illness could have on Global Markets and supply chains. Previously, it had been thought the outbreak would be largely confined to asia. We are seeing headlines that now encompass the middle east, iran, europe, italy and investors are concerned it might be moving beyond the containment phase, meaning the outbreak is more serious and more economies are affected. Reporter congress has to sign off on the white house plan to deal with the virus and some democrats are already saying it doesnt go far enough. In washington, doug luzader, fox news. A lot of us are thinking about our 401 k . You just cant look, right . Dont retire or look right now. Let it go. Lets check with sal, trafficwise at 4 38. Good morning, frank and pam and good morning at home, as well. Traffic is off to a nice start and i want to show you driving through the macarthur maze, it looks pretty good and so far, not a big deal. 16 minutes at average speeds, 73. That is very good and the bay bridge toll plaza is not having a big backup. Getting on the roads soon pays off with fewer minutes on the road. You can see traffic is doing okay on 880 and looking around the east bay, we dont see a lot of traffic around here. You can see some slow traffic from tracy, from 205 transitioning onto 580 but that is normal for this time of the morning. It looks good from walnut creek to san ramon on 680. Here is steve. Another sunny and warm day on tap for us and it looks like we will make it through february without any rain. In 1864 in San Francisco, and 1953 for nap pod. When death valley has more rain then we do, you know you are in trouble. The average high, 61. We are way above 7078 today, one of the driest februarys on record and we already know about San Francisco and unless a miracle happens, we will tie that. Santa rosa got. 08 inches in 1953 and napa did not, nothing and san jose, 1950 through the with. 02 inches on the way the pattern is, it is actually split. We are caught in the middle of a split jet stream. That is causing everything to fall apart by the time it reaches us. A very, very quiet pattern with nothing going on. 40s on the 50s on the temps already with an offshore breeze. Kenwood and napa, an east wind and bodega bay, 56 with some very warm temps and it wont take long to get going. 39 in ukiah and a little bit of a northerly breeze and up and over she goes with nothing happening for the rest of the week. Now, we cool down toward friday and this will probably be the warmest day with the offshore breeze with a dry pattern continuing and temperatures way above average. 70s for many and if we get 80, today would be the day. Warming through wednesday and thursday with clouds coming in and if we get rain, it would be march 1st and not february 29th february 29th. 4 41 and a video posted to social media shows an elderly San Francisco man being threatened and harassed and that video has gone viral. Police say they need more than people watching the videos to find the victim. Why a process meant to update voting information created a loophole to allow some voters to cast two ballots. When i came home from prison my sons were in their teens. So i got involved in juvenile justice, i didnt want them to go through the same thing i went through. Michael bloomberg created the young mens initiative. In helping keep other young men and young women from entering into the criminal justice system. And we see it, we see it in young people being employed. We see young people being removed out the system. Running for president , what better platform for him to speak about real justice, real reform. Im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. Believe it or not, a week from today, voters in california go to the polls for the states primary election. Officials say more than 1 million have already cast their ballots through mail and others have gone to Voting Centers operating in 15 california counties, including san mateo and santa clara. California moved to the for super tuesday to give more impact on the president ial nominating process. California is finally voting in march instead of june. We will have more input on who the candidates are for the november election. California has 494 delegates and some 20 million registered voters, more than any other state in the nation. Today, the campaign of democratic president ial candidate Michael Bloomberg world announce a new endorsement of a candidate in San Francisco. Bloombergs campaign is not saying who the endorsement is coming from ahead of the event at 10 30 later this morning. Democratic hopefuls are stepping up their campaigns leading to the saturday primary in South Carolina with the debate coming tonight in charleston. Bernie sanders is a front runner after his win in the nevada caucuses. He campaigned in texas over the weekend and joe biden is seeing momentum with his secondplace finish in nevada and says he is looking forward to the next primary. I think its going to be bernie and me on super tuesday. This country belongs to all of us, not a handful of billionaires. More than one dozen states vote on super tuesday, including california and super tuesday is march 3rd and will be the first time Michael Bloomberg is on the ballot. If the politicians have multiple votes from one person, that is corruption. Hundreds of california voters have attempted to vote more than once in local elections and officials are powerless to stop it. The state Automated System may send voters more than one ballot and that is partly because the automatic system will send out a new ballot if your personal or Party Information has changed. The convenience opens the door to potential voter fraud. The loophole has gone unaddressed for nearly four years. Reporter like many california voters, Renee Mcclure wanted the ease of voting from home. Alameda county elections sent her not one, but two voteby mail ballots. I anticipated that because i do not trust this estate and the voting practices. I anticipated it and it happened. Reporter a new ballot was triggered by the Voter Registration system and she had recently applied for a New California real i. D. And that had changed the spelling of her name and Political Party preference. They are counting me as two people. Reporter collection safeguards should stop this and flag the original ballot. This machine rejects duplicates or questionable signatures but there is at least one way around that, allowing someone to vote twice. One person double voting is wrong. It should be one vote, one person. Reporter its hard to catch because the state gives the choice to voters to vote bymail or at the polls and to switch between the two. The Contra Costa County assistant registrar said flexibility can create issues. The unintended consequence of that, there are a lot of ballots floating around out there. Reporter those extra ballots allow someone to mail in one ballot and surrender the blank ballot at the polls. Then, cast a second vote on election day with poll workers seeing who received a voteby mail ballot, but they have no idea if it has been counted or if a voter received more than one. However remote the possibility is, it is possible. Because its possible, you have to check. Reporter in the 2016 election, Contra Costa County cross checked election day voters with mail in ballots and discovered 113 cases of double voting. Santa clara county found 76 and marin county, 19. Other counties found similar problems long after election day was over. It was a vulnerability that could easily be closed. Reporter Election Officials pushed for a fixed four years ago, suggesting anyone who brings a male and ballot to the polls to vote provisionally and those votes would be set aside, checked and eligibility verified and then counted after election day. The secretary of state, alex padilla, said it is against the law and he stands behind the open process. It comes back when it gets counted and if the same voter tries to return another ballot, the second one wont be counted, only the first. Reporter thats not entirely true. Some slipped through the cracks without an easy way for poll workers to verify if a votebymail ballot has been received and counted. Every which way you try to automate something in the system or what you believe makes it easier to vote, you create more opportunity for mistakes and fraud to occur. Reporter the Public InterestLegal Foundation is a Nonprofit Law Firm aimed at improving election integrity. The secretary of state is blamed. Anyone who said the system works fine, nothing to worry about, they essentially are saying voter fraud is a cost of democracy and that is unacceptable in the year 2020. Reporter after more questions, the secretary of States Office sent a letter to county officials, saying they should handle any issues, themselves and figure out a way to electronically mark or separate out voters requesting multiple ballots. Some counties argue its too costly, too difficult, or creates room for error. Instead, they are reactive, trying to expose double voting long after the election is over. They turn the violators over to prosecutors. Weve got our eyes on you and we are looking and checking. We take it very personally when people cheat or try to cheat. Reporter for voters like mcclure, it reaffirms distrust in the election system and makes her believe the loophole will be exploited more in this primary election. If they know what is going on and let it happen, its wrong. If they are aware the problem exists, they need to take care of it, not brushing under the rug. We vote in one week. Yes, we do. It is great that california is early. We are the biggest state with the most votes and the electoral votes. We might as well make them count, right . For so many years it was already decided. We are in the mix this year, folks. Good morning, everyone. The bay bridge still looks pretty good and i like what i see. In this short 20 minutes, if you stay with us, you will see a big change but right now, it looks pretty good. In 20 minutes, it might be nice and light and i hope that happens, but i dont think so. 880 south looks good with a decent start for the morning commute and weve had a couple of things here and they are. For the most part, everything seems okay and lets bring in steve with the weather. A quiet pattern, warm and it looks to be the warmest day. Santa rosa and San Francisco, its not happening and it looks like it will come down to the wire with a hint of something on sunday, march 1st and i dont think it will be made by late saturday the 29th. We will go down with the high in 1864 in scent of rosa. Nam pa would also tie on the record, as well with the midwinter dry stretch is nothing new but when they go on past 15 or 16 days and youve already had a semidry year, that puts the kibosh on it. We will probably be 32 or 33 and im not even sold on the rain for the first. Its split with part of the energy going north and the rest of it south and then the energy comes out with a donut hole over us, as far as being dry. Today, 30s, 40s and 50s with a pretty good north breeze in brentwood. Kensington, 57. A northeast breeze and when that takes place, its an offshore direction. The napa airport, if you get closer and go farther toward town, they have a north wind. Vacaville has a north wind and mount diablo north of 45 is coming off the berkeley hills, as well and that all spells sunny and warm weather conditions, translating into a very warm day, way above 15 degrees above average for this time of year with a dry pattern continuing. The coast and the bay and inland wood looks warm. Cooler friday with clouds on the weekend. Harvey weinstein was found guilty and sent directly to jail. He is awaiting sentencing and still ahead, why the disgraced movie mogul detoured to a hospital after leaving the courtroom. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco and her message from chinatown. A new proposal requires gun owners in one bay area city to also have insurance and more on that when we come back. Now, we know the trump strategy try to win by attacking, distorting, dividing. Mr. President it. Wont. Work. Newspapers report bloomberg is the democrat trump fears most. As president , universal healthcare that lets people keep their coverage if they like it. A record on job creation. A doable plan to combat climate change. I led a complex, diverse city through 911 and i have common sense plans to move america away from chaos to progress im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. Welcome back. A Home Security camera captured images of a Mountain Lion and the San Bruno Police said this recording was taken yesterday and shows the Mountain Lion jumping over a Backyard Fence into another yard with police saying theyve received several reports from neighbors about a Mountain Lion seen roaming the area. People whove seen the Mountain Lion are asked to call authorities immediately. Santa clara supervisors will vote to fund part of a Gun Violence Prevention Team with domestic disputes turning deadly because police dont have a legally coordinated way to make sure suspects dont have weapons. The das office and the supervisors are looking to fund a four person gun team and the main priority is to make sure those who are suspected of Domestic Violence or those who have restraining orders dont have guns. Any gun out there in the hands of someone illegally has potential for violence paired with not a lot of money, we can make Santa Clara County dramatically safer. The program would cost about 750,000 a year. Reducing gun violence is on the minds of leaders at the San Jose City hall with the mayor, sam liccardo preparing a gun Insurance Initiative that would require gun owners to buy insurance to help pay for costs associated with gun violence, city wide. The mayor said the cost of gun violence to california taxpayers for ambulance, police and er rooms exceeded 1. 4 billion last year. One mother who lost her son due to gun violence last december is hopeful these types of steps will reduce the growing threat of gun violence. There was a person responsible for the death of my son. He should not have had access to a gun and had he not had access to a gun that didnt belong to him, michael would be alive today. That part of my heart has been removed. Was 21 years old when he died last month from a gunshot to the chest. New this morning, two people were arrested after crashing into a police car and hitting two homeless people. We are live with reaction from officers. Absolutely senseless. Police in Castro Valley are on the lookout for a driver they said hit a young child in the crosswalk and then drove off, leaving a 12yearold girl to die. The evidence that could lead to an arrest. Essentially an Assembly Factory for the world. We are 90 minutes away from the opening bell as wall street looks to rebound after a record loss and we show whats happening locally amid concerns about the coronavirus.
