Bring it to you live. In the meantime, we want to go to bill martin, our chief meteorologist, to talk about the weather conditions, and they are getting at least a little bit of good news here, bill. Yeah, a little bit of good news. Yeah, my camera is a little off balance. Ill tell you watt, let me fix this right now. Yeah, hat should be better. The air quality is pure right now. But the fires are still mainly terrain driven. The weather is not really driving these fires. Its really about so many fires having started, and cal fire not having enough resources to respond to almost 13,000 lightning strikes. So with over 350 fires in that first string. So were seeing good containment each day, and thats how its going to continue. And now i think weve got a live press conference. Just wanted to bring everybody up to speed, after the weather came through yesterday, and we found ourselves here getting wet last night, over the courts of the evening, across california, the cal fire confirmed there were over 300 lightning strikes in the state overall. 10 new fires occurred overnight, and zero, none of those fires, occurred if theisms santa cruz unit. So no lightning caused fires over the last 24 hours. We we remain at 13 contained, and have over 25,000 structures that still remain threatened due to the fire. We also can confirm this evening that 276 structures have been destroyed. That is both in san mateo and santa cruz county. A large majority of those structures inner santa cruz county, and obviously that information will get down to the specifics as it gets released to each eoc at the county level. And finally, some even better news. Were up to 1,609 firefighters, personnel assigned to this incident. Obviously every number of firefighters that comes on the line has a direct correlation that we can gain, so thats a Welcome Development for us. With that, im going operationa from cal fire imt3 ops section chief market brunton. Good evening. So today with the weather that we had, really led us to get in there and do a lot of good work. We had a lot of progress with the fire today, with the clear air. We were able to fly a lot more aircraft. Ill address that here shortly, and on the ground, again, as chief cox said that weve brought in more resources, and we were able to get more heavy equipment. The bulldozers and so forth, that are going to help us construct those lines. So a lot of good work going on. Predominantly up in the north zone, were having good progress. Our Line Construction continuing. The fire is backing into butano, but, again, its pretty much creeping. Were monitoring that. Its not making a threat to those communities, but it is advances, albeit slowly. Theres a hall road that ive been talking about. That line has been improved. The fire is creeping down into that. Its holding, which is great, because that is keeping fire from making any sort of advancement into potentially santa clara county. So thats looking really good. Were very happy with the results there. As were looking at the highway 9 corridor, continued work along that corridor, again, as ive said before, difficult terrain to work in, very steep terrain, heaven by fuels. Not the most ideal area to put our control lines, like we typically do, but it is aware making due with it, were making it work, and it is holding in most all locations. In state park down below ben low man, continued working there. That will be one of our challenges points, an area that will be a lot of work and planning, but we are making advancement there is throughout. The south is looking good. Out primary and secondary line on that south part of the fire is solid. The area that we burned in yesterday, fantastic. Its holding. Its doing what we want. Any fire that has burned down to that has either self extinguished, or is holding on that line, which is exactly what we wanted it to do. So it really minimizes that threat to santa cruz and the campus. In bonnie dune, continued work within the structures. Gain, painstaking work. A lot of structures there and heavy fuels, but thats a lot of work, just digging in and getting after it and taking care of business. We did a small burn operation along empire grade road to martin road, that kind of puts in a nice control line for a us. So it keeps spread going to the west, and affecting more homes, so thats a good control line. We buttoned that a little bit up. And as far as our air program, didnt find any of the fixed wing air tankers on it, really didnt have a need for that, but what was effective is the use of our helicopters. Today was the best day yet. We were able to drop 200,000 gallons throughout the day in Fire Suppression activities with our helicopters. So with our ground troops, our air force going, great day, and a lot of great work there and advancement work moving forward. With the weather were expecting, i think were going to have more days like this, and hopefully goat is closer to the end of suppressing this fire. All right. Weve been listening to a live News Conference talking about the czu complex fire burning in santa cruz and san mateo. We did get a little bit of new information. Here are the basics, though, 78,000 acres have been burned. The fire still only 13 contained. 25,000 structures are threatened. 276 structures have been destroyed, and theyve upped the number of firefighters now battling the flames to now slightly over 1600. They said that the weather really helped them do some quote unquote good work today. They moved in more heavy equipment, and made more air drops. Specifically, they have six waterdroppingdropping helicopters. And they have dropped 200,000 gallons of water on those fires today. And head to Governor Newsom said he has witnessed firsthand the mutual aid among firefighters to get control of these bay area fires. Were up there in the livermore area, and all of a sudden some Santa Monica Fire engines come up. Santa cruz, youre seeing the same thing from many Southern California engines coming up, from almost every department in the state. In state mutual aid is providing more than 2800 crews and 709 engines to battle fires out of their own jurisdictions, and 11 states now are sending crews and equipment from as far away as montana, texas, and kansas. More than 1300 personnel are on the scu wildfire complex burning the diablo range. Tom is in pleasanton now with some of the destruction he has seen from this enormous wildfire there. Tom . Reporter and this is still only 10 containment and 347,000 acres burned. This is nothing to play with, because they are fighting this fire actively, just up in remote areas. One of the dangers with being in a remote area is of course thats very high, you get high winds up there and you start getting embers. But as one california fire chief told me, look, this is a marathon, and its going to take a long time to finish it. Cal fire said it got lucky last night on the scu fire, very lucky. We were actually aided by the fact that the lightning strikes did not come in the way we expected them to yesterday. Only having started one Additional Fire last night. Reporter but the fire still remains a monster as it grows in two dangerous. Our number one priority will remain along this western front. Reporter and thats where the majority of the 20,000 threatened bay area structures are located. The large part of our priority right now is to stop any further southerly movement of the fire. Reporter we drove the 72 miles from parnas in Stanislaus County, and mines road, to livermore, crossing a major southern portion of the scu fire footprint. Much of what we saw was scorched earth of a sparsely populated wilderness, but we were surprised to see a number of Still Standing homes and structures that had a lot of well cleaned areas surrounding them. We also saw remnants of the firefight that went on here, such as this track of retardant laid down by an aerial tanker. Because folks here take defensive space very ceaseious economy is the firefighters date heck of a job of defending property, it looks like some of these folks, at least, are going to have homes to go home to. The frank rains offroad park remained most lip intact, with the childrens playground virtually untouched, but the park did suffer the loss of the rangers home, a barn, and small cottage. We encountered often large groups of fire trucks standing by to go on patrol for hot spots. Other crews plied the steep and rugged terrain to put any of those hot spots out. And in one case, a Southern California crew from tsa used their waiting time and location to use rope and rapell training. And there can never be too much training. We are living in a mega fire era. Reporter and said chief he ss, evacuations will now come earlier. Were going to have to evacuate people more often, and more people. Reporter and what all of that really means that their tactics are going to have to change as the intensity of these fires change. And in just 7 days, its going to be september, followed by october, the two worst months for fire in california history, and were not even there yet, and were already running two of the biggest fires weve ever seen. Tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news. All right, tom, thank you. In the north bay, the deadly lnu lightning complex fire continues to burn in several counties.

Well be right back. Here is a live picture of the republican convention. President trump is expected to be featured each of the four nights, culminating with his acceptance speech at the white house on thursday. The republicans kicked off the week with delegates officially nominating the president. With more, we go to greg lee, our political reporter. Greg . Frank, good evening. Now we have a better idea. That section you were just dipping into of the rnc stream was about the president defending his administrations response to covid19. That is kind of what we have seen so far. One similarity already between democrats and republicans is that speakers and everyday speakers are saying it would be a bleak picture if the other party won. Another similarity, the republicans are having people from all across america, everyday people, sharing their stories about and answering the question in their lives are bitter than they were four years ago. We as a state want to bring forth our delegates, 172 for donald trump. Reporter california cast its votes en route to republicans formally renominating President Donald Trump as the partys president ial candidate. The president made a trip to charlotte, North Carolina, for day one of the scaled down Republican National convention, addressing the 336 delegates there in person. We have to win. Our country is counting on it. This is the biggest. This is it. Our country can go in a horrible, horrible direction, or in an even greater direction. Reporter in a wide ranging nearly hourlong speech, the president again attacked vote by mail, accused the depths of using covid to steel stale the election without evidence, and touted the economy, and the administrations response to the coronavirus. A new a. P. Poll Shows Approval 60 his handling of the pandemic has dropped to 31 . The president also went after his november opponents. On this base, its an incredible base. Everybody here is going to vote. I mean, we have a tremendous base. They dont. They have no enthusiasm for their candidate. Reporter democratic president ial nominee joe biden and senator Kamala Harris did their first joint interview as a ticket. Biden responding to trumps attacks on his mental fitness. Watch me. Mr. President , watch me. Look at us both, what we say, what we zoo, whats we control, what we know, what kind of shape were in. Come on. Reporter have mike pence also made a surprised visit to the convention this morning. The economy is on the ballot. Law and order is on the ballot. Reporter Republican NationalCommittee Member from Orange County sean steele criticized the dnc for being too much gloom and doom. Me said expect the opposite from his party this week. It think its going to be about hope and opportunity. We had some very glorious years with the president until the great playing came. The playing has destroyed many an economy, many countries. There is her shell walker, former nfl star and staunch trump supporter, speaking about how he believes president Trumps Administration has made his life better. Its like live the tope well see,000out this evening. One thing weve seen,000out the speakers so far is a consistent ask steady attack on the democratic nominee joe biden. Frank . And, greg, talk again well, actually your picture there, got it back. Talk again tonight who the main speakers will be, and what are your thoughts on President Trump speaking every single night. Reporter frank, think what well see tonight be the big speakers, donald trump jr. , the president s son, as well as nikki haley, and senator tim scott, the lone black republican in the senate, all speaking about certain major hot topics in america right now, like arrest relation, issues with the police, as well as nikki haleys perceived thoughts on President Trumps work with national, international relations. Relative to President Trump speaking every night, what we saw last week from democrats, was that joe biden appeared in either a pretaped video or in some capacity leading up to his speech on thursday. I have to imagine that well seeing some like that from President Trump, because thats what you want to do, you want to build up to thursday, and you dont want to lose your luster throughout the first couple of days, but well have to wait and see. And all right, greg, thank you and were a reminder here, well have complete coverage of the Republican National convention all week beginning at 7 00. You can watch the speakers live right now on ktvu, or ktvu plus. Now to our weather. And the smoke from the wildfires is creating unhealthy and in some cases hazardous air quality. This is a live look from our camera pointed it a mount diablo, but smoke is obscuring the view of the mountain. Rob roth tells us exposure to this much smoke could have lasting Health Effects. Reporter a curtain of smoke hovered over the entire bay area again monday, but worse in the north bay and east bay, including near pleasanton. The good news is the air was better than sunday, although still reads as unhealthy some parts, but the bad news is, this is the 6th consecutive day and counting of unhealthy air from the wildfires. The spare the air alert has been extend at least until wednesday. The longer you are exposed to this, the more it is stressing the body and the more problems we can expect to see. Reporter dr. Ron vero, is head of emergency at a Medical Center in oakland. Takes toll on, as we expect, those most vulnerable. The older people, younger people who maybe. Reporter developed their immune system yet, like young babies, and then, of course, those who are have chronic medical conditions. Reporter at hayward hardware, owner jim wheeler said there has been a run on smokerelated items, and she having little success replacing them. Its just its unprecedented that we wouldnt have access to these every day items that weve had access for in the 15 years ive been doing with this. The store sold out of respirators in days. Air Filtration Systems popular because of covid are also out of stock, and n95 masks . Forget about it. First responders have needed them because of the pandemic. Fy call somebody and i ask for an n95 mask, the answer is not no, the answer is hell no, we dont have it. Reporter much of the problem the timing of the current fires. Traditionally, theyve come in the fall, when supply could usually meet demand. No one predicted this, that we would be needing them for the fires as early as mid august, or late august, and were completely and totally unprepared for that. Reporter doctors say the cloth and surgical masks most people are wearing i dont filter smoke, but they do urge people to wear them in public. But youre going to see more people coughing, which means theyre going to be putting more of their saliva and droplets into the air, and that just speaks to why its all the more important to be masking. Reporter two years ago, the bay area endured 14 Straight Days of unhealthy air because of the campfire. The medical advice is to stay indoors with the windows closed until the smoke clears. Rob roth, ktvu fox 2 news. And its been bad. Some of the worst air quality weve seen in the bay area in years, and its going to be bad next couple of days. The air quality alert goes away on wednesday. And it will be better after that, but theres still folk some lingering smoke. Its worse in the morning. Late night and early morning, the smoke really settles down. So just take it easy on your lungs if you have a buck or a golf game early. These areas, the eastern zone and the southern zone down here, down towards santa clara, those areas are going to have the worst air quality, it seems like. Were seeing a bit of a sea breeze if here, so were starting to see some air Quality Improvement significantly if places like san rafael and President Trump. These areas in here, theyre not really seeing a lot. The winds arent as robust in there. Just know the mornings, thats the big wave, and then the afternoon, it gets a little bit better, and youve probably been no tugs that. These winds thats surface help. 15 mile an hour winds sustained if vacaville. And sfo has 21 miles per hour, so thats a good onshore push. Fire danger has come down quite a bit.

The court said the trial judge made significant errors in jury selection by dismissing jurors who said they disagreed with the Death Penalty. Well, imagine if you have all jurors that say i believe in the Death Penalty. Youre gonna get a more conservative jury, and that affects the verdict in the case. So you want those people on the jury, so you get a fair jury, and were talking about taking a persons life here. The court says Stanislaus County prosecutors can try again for the same sentence if they wish, although ktvu legal analyst Michael Cardozo said that sun likely with the Death Penalty on hold here in california.

Wisconsins governor has called in the National Guard to head off another round of violent protests, after the police shoot a black man last night. The move comes after protestors set cars on fire, smashed windows and clashed with officers in riot gear last night. The protests began hours after 29yearold jacob blake was shot and winded by police. He was apparently shot in the back as he leaned into his suv while his three children sat in that vehicle. Kenosha police say they were responding to a Domestic Violence incident. People in the neighborhood say blake was trying to stop a fight. We ask for a thorough investigation from the Wisconsin Department of justice the attorney general did not answer questions on whether police found a weapon on blake, or how many officers were involved in the shooting. Blake remains in Critical Condition tonight. So many people have relied on zoom during this pandemic, but earlier today zoom had major problems. Christien kafton tells us what happened and the ripple effects that followed zooms widespread outage. With the global pandemic, zoom is the way many of us are getting to school or work, the Video Conferencing giant reported shortly before 6 00 a. M. Monday morning that users were unable to visit the zoom website or enter meetings or webinars. Larry magan said that zoom and other such platforms have become increasingly popular in agree correspondent years, but weve become more realliant on it during the pandemic. Kids are back online in school, and these days when you go to work, many of us go to work via zoom. Reporter problems per itself ised for about four and a half hours. Zoom reporting that the problem was fixed by 10 10. Bob odonnell said the problems seem to be with authentication, which puts an extra demand on the platform, having to carry both the calls and verifying everyones identity. My guess is it may have had to do wait lot of traffic combined with that need for authentication, and the two together just created this issue. He said the problems highlight how reliant americans and students have become on such platforms. Maybe the parents had meeting on webex while the kids were in a zoom class, and yet in the kids zoom goes down, they have to walk away from their meeting to go over there and help them out, so, again, there is that ripple effect. Analysts say with widespread use, this sun likely to be the last outage. I think systems are being built up to make them more resillant, but at the same time we are becoming more dependent. My guess is this wont be the lat outage that were talking about on these systems. Our tech experts agree now that weve seen the excite these Video Conference platforms like zoom, we can expect them to remain in use even after the pandemic is over. In San Francisco, christien kafton, ktvu fox 2 news. And were look for that air quality clearing up out there. Ill have the details on that, and with the fiveday forecast will show. But first, after the break, the postmaster general is scored on capitol hill. How he responded to accusation that his reforms are an attempt to sabotage the president ial election. And taking a look outside with our rule camera point west, you can see the oakland estuary there and the fog in the distance. Were back in a moment. The most master general was on anticipate him today. Louis dejoy acknowledged that the president s repeated attacks on mailin ballots are not himful, but he denied taking any action to sabotage the elections. Democrats questioned his motives behind recent changes, including demanding that trucks leave on time, even if theyre not fully loaded. 53foot trucks forced to travel hundreds of miles completely empty due to your so called reforms. Here are the truck records. Thats not efficiency. Thats insanity. The Postal Service is fully capable and committed to delivering the nations ballots secure economy is on time. This sacred duty is my number one priority between now and election day. He is a republican donor who took the helm of the Postal Service back in june. Kellyanne conway said she is leaving her job at the white house at the end of the month. Conway has been one of President Trumps longer serving aides and made the announcement on the eve of the Republican National convention. She said she is leaving to quote focus on family. Her husband, george won conway, a conservative lawyer and frequent critic of the president , is also leaving his post with the lincoln project. Departures come a day after conways 15yearold daughter, also frequent critic of the president , said she is seeking legal emancipation from her parents. Jerry falwell jr. Denying reports he has resigned as president of Liberty University. News organizations reported today that falwell agreed to step down after after a news story broke that is he and his wife had had a sexual relationship with a business associate for years. The evangelical leader is already on leave for posting a provocative picture of himself and his wifes assistant on social media earlier this summer. Falwell has led Liberty University since 2007, the school in virginia was founded in 1971 to quote train champions for christ. And much better air quality around here as we go through the next couple of days. Its been bad. Its Getting Better along the coastal sections, obviously, with that sea breeze, and its going to get a little better for even of us as we go through wednesday into thursday into friday. Wednesday, there will be that spare the air day, or air quality alert, which stays in effect, basically through wednesday. So you can see it here. What happens in the morning, i mentioned the inversion shrinks down and the cool air settles into the valleys, and the smoke right who n here just gets really nasty. So there are lowlying areas. Youve noticed it in the morning. So the smoke about as bad as its going to get all day, at least thats in theory, especially in the Santa Cruz Mountains, because the smoke gets trapped in canyons and virginias where the wind can bottom blow them out. But we have a good robust onshore flow. Its exactly what cal fire wants. You heard them talking about it today during the incident report that the weather has helped greatly, and it has. Its been a good run of weather to fight these fires, and no reason to believe that this weather isnt going to hold, and thats critical and crucial. Hats off to cal fire. 13,000 lightning strikes. I cant say that enough. I cant remember a time, that kind of fire activity ever having to be addressed by, you know, cal fire or any others. Temperatures about where they were last night at this time, maybe a little warmer. Overnight lows, there they are. 60s in the hot spots like antioch, 69. There it is. Theres fog. In this fog, youre going to get that, especially away from the coast, theres going to be smoke embedded in that fog. The smoke particulate will actually water vein her coalesce on it to, and you get this kind of you were the fog im talking about. Its kind of skanky. And tomorrow the fog will be present, especially in the army morning. Forecast hes tomorrow. There they are. Going to see some numbers that could get to the upper 80s. Thats brentwood, clayton, and some of the hot spots. And then the fiveday forecast, still hazy tomorrow, maybe still a little muggy, but slowly Getting Better, as we head through time, and then by next weekend, or the middle end of this week, well get the air quality back to where we like to see it. Ill have an update on this folk tonight 10 00 and 11 00, julie and frank. Well see you pack here. All right, bill, thank you. Mark sum next with sports, including how one nfl team plans to allow fans in the stands during the season. And stay with ktvu at 8 00 tonight. Well broadcast the kings speech, and then stay tuned for the 10 00 and 11 00 news. vo im all about family. My mothers name is jeannie and my name is robert. Thats how we came up with jrs. And my wife rita and my son robert the 4th all work here. My dream for jrs barbeque is that its still that Old Neighborhood spot 50 more years from now. Mark issaquah with you. Can you believe it. Less than three weeks until the proposed nfl season is underway. We got a little news from the league today. You may know them as the Miami Dolphins, but at least for the 2020 season, how about maybe the miami guinea pigs. Most of us think theres not going to be any fans in the stands this year, but not true in the ever aggressive state of florida, as the Miami Dolphins organization officially announces today they will allow approximately 13,000 fans, or about 20 of the capacity for their stadium, at the start of the season. Theyre going to let all of those fans in. Other teams will surely follow from some parts of the country, but the dolphins are the first to make it official. Talk about doing a 180 flip. You remember how adamant the nfl powers that be were about the no kneeling situation a couple of years ago for the national anthem. The commissioner, Roger Goodell, of course, itch colluded if that. Out in anytime, least not publicly. Here is the commissioner on the Popular Video series Uncomfortable Conversations with a black man, hosted by former nfl player emmanuel ocho.
