Im Gasia Mikaelian spree. I know im in a bit of a rush. Did you have rain coming in . I did. Me too. It was slippery on the roads. We have rain. Im dave clark. Its tuesday, september 26th. Well, roberta has an update on your tuesday weather. I am surely jealous of the two of you experiencing you didnt get any. I didnt. Well, you get in here earlier than we do. Some people would still call it nighttime right now. I saw the big, glorious 88 illuminate mid moon on its way to becoming a full moon on friday. Hi, everybody. Good morning. Take a look outside. This is the view from Monument Peak and see all that golden grain out there . Yeah, we need some rain. Right . And we saw just about a trace right in that particular area in the santa clara county. Overcast skies right now due to that right there. Area low pressure providing some rain showers across that northwestern section of the state. And some of the activity has sagged into the bay area in the form of some light rain up to nearly a full 10th of an inch of rain in santa rosa. Were currently its cloudy and 61. Its also in the low 60s in oakland and in emeryville. Good morning. Palo alto. You are sitting at 64, the same in fremont and in san jose. And later today from the high 60s through the 70s to the low 80s. Full forecast still slated and ready to come. But right now, Sal Castaneda in the house. All right, roberta. Yeah, we have some slow traffic in the Livermore Valley and also on the sunol grade. Lets start there because you can see 6 to 80 is slow through pleasanton through that Construction Zone heading down to the sunol grade. Theres no crash this time. Its just a normal slowdown. So sometimes when we get crashes here, i always say, well, its going to be slow anyway. And today it is. You can see 880 is a little bit slow. Lets take a live look at the bay bridge. I think a lot of people always want to see that its backed up to the maze. Its about a 15 minute delay before you make it on. When we come back, well dive a little deeper into the east bay and check on the south bay and peninsula to 702. Lets get back to the headlines. All right, sal, thank you. Well new this morning yet another person in san jose has been hit and killed by a vehicle we were out there at the scene this is a live picture now. It happened just before 330 this morning on North Jackson avenue, not far from alum rock avenue. This is the scene, the police still there. Were told the pedestrian who was killed was a man. The driver involved in the crash did stay at the scene and talk to the police. Its a traffic could be affected in the area. This is near highway 130 and interstate 680. This is the second person in san jose hit and killed by a car in just under 24 hours. Now, the other crash happened yesterday morning right around 6 a. M, another person just to hear no one really pays attention. Its theres so much traffic. They dont leave any room. So people try to find when they find an opening or they take it. And thats what happens with a lot of the traffic that goes through here. When someone dies, thats a shame. I mean, it could be my wife. It could be my kid. God forbid. Now, police say the pedestrian was in a crosswalk, but did not have the light to go across. Birx residents in the area talked about it and said that intersection can be very dangerous and with the two new deadly crashes, san jose has reached 23 fatal crashes with a pedestrian this year, 37 deadly crashes this year. Overall all those numbers are down slightly from last year. But city leaders say they want to keep trying to lower those numbers even further. Happening today, the Solano County das office will discuss the arrest in the killing of a six year old in 1987. Jeremy stoner was abducted near his vallejo home. His body was discovered four days later on Sherman Island in sacramento county. Authorities say the dna advances helped lead to the arrest of 69 year old fred cain, the third he was taken into custody at his home in oregon last week, transferred to Solano County to face a murder charge with a special circumstance. This another man was initially suspected of the crime. He died before having his name cleared. One Business Leader in oakland says that more than 200 Small Businesses in that city plan to close for at least part of the day today. The one day strike is meant to get the attention of city leaders to urge them to do something about rising crime and retail theft. Ctvs james torres live in oakland with what we could see today. James gasia well, this is in direct response to hearing the news that oakland city leaders somewhat dropped the ball in securing millions of dollars in funds to help fight, fight retail theft, a plague that weve seen all throughout the state of california over the last few months. So many of these oakland Business Owners say closing their doors for today they hope will disrupt the city enough for city leaders to notice. We learned earlier this month that oakland city leaders simply missed the deadline, did not submit a proper full application for a 200 million grant in state funds to help fight retail theft. But in neighboring cities like San Francisco and san jose, Police Departments will receive more billions of dollars to go toward Crime Fighting crime. The owners of many of the shops engaging in the strike today say theyve been broken into several times. And if its not them, its their customers. Theyll usually find themselves as victims in their parking lots. They say the lack of support is hurting business and they themselves dont feel safe inside their own stores. You know, my car has been broken into five times, like im just tired of paying and paying and paying to live in the city. I here at work, ive parking off street, but if i come downtown myself to come eat, i take an uber. I wont even drive in my own city. Oakland mayor shengtao commented on the strike, saying in part, we welcomed the opportunity to meet with any Business Owner that wants to work on collective Safety Solutions alongside our office. I have been personally meeting with dozens of Small Business groups to fund and support initiatives that deter crime and promote safe streets. So many of those Business Owners this morning who are participating, they say they will meet outside of the la chevelle vietnamese restaurant. Its owners recently announced doors would close for good after 38 years, blaming crime for being a huge deterrent for getting good business. Now, the strike will officially start about 10 00 this morning. Most businesses say theyll close their doors from 12 00 to noon, but a handful of others say that they will shut down for the entire day, hoping to send a statement. Were live this morning in oakland. Im james torres. Ktvu fox two news. Thank you, james. Now to new video that shows two Good Samaritans stopping an attempted carjacking in oakland. This happened last month on piedmont avenue. We see a man returning to his car whos approached by two men in sweatshirts. They take the keys out of his hand as they go back to the car. Two people intervene. The would be carjackers, then drive away without taking the victims car. The Good Samaritans reportedly work at a Karate School across the street. Now San Mateo County supervisor wants to increase funding for the police in his area. Supervisor david canepa said San Mateo Countys experiencing an increase in Domestic Violence deaths as well as organized crime properties, property crimes, auto and retail thefts. He says Police Departments all over the county are understaffed and they need more money to bring down the crime rate. We should be able to shop, should be able to shop just to get toothpaste instead, we have to ring three bells. You have to now show a receipt. Can you imagine a receipt sheet . If not, they wont let you out. Thats not the San Mateo County. I want to live in now. Supervisor cannabis says hell be asking for 750,000 in funding from a sales tax increase measure that passed back in 2016. It is 708 city workers in San Francisco can once again force people who are living on the streets off the streets, if they turn down an offer of shelter in appeals. Court ruled that people are not involuntarily homeless if they turn down an offer of shelter. In december of last year, a judge issued an injunction limiting the city of San Franciscos ability to clear out homeless encampments unless they could offer an adequate shelter. Now, over half of unhoused individuals to whom city workers are making offers of shelter and services ses are refusing those offers or we know have shelter. Otherwise weve seen more people get into shelter through the cities theyve had basically a 10 bump in shelter placements. Now San Francisco city workers will be instructed on how to follow that court order in clearing out homeless encampments. Authorities are warning People Living and visiting the lake tahoe area over the next few months to be careful of roaming bears. Wildlife experts say the bears are out looking for food so they can gain weight before hibernate ing this winter. People in the area are being told to lock all windows and doors, seal up their crawl spaces and make sure theres no food lying around. Black bears are typically not aggressive toward humans, but they are scavenging for food, which could make them dangerous. The Placer County Sheriffs Department posted video of an injured bear under a staircase near a restaurant. The states fish and Wildlife Department sent a biologist to help take care of the animal. Experts say they think the bear just hid under the stairs to get away from people. Time now is 709 and we do have a backup here at the bay bridge, just like you usually would see at the toll plaza of the bay bridge. Its backed up all the way out to the maze earlier this morning, it was wet. Looks like its dried off here. But just be careful and give yourself a little extra time. Some of the roads may be wet where you are. This is oakland. You can see. I dont know what that is. Well have to ask roberta a little later on about the weather. I dont know if thats drizzle or fog, but definitely looks like something there. And you look at the san mateo bridge, that traffic is doing okay. I promise you. A look at the east bay, you know, 80 is pretty slow from san pablo all the way out to the macarthur maze. Theres a long backup for the Richmond Bridge this morning. Its super long. And we also have some slowing this morning on 680 from pleasanton hill, concord to walnut creek. So i think the commute today because of the wet weather and maybe just because a lot of people are back is busy. 710, lets go back to the desk. All right, sal, thank you. Well, theres a new report that says samples of a white powder called spent catalysts that was released last year by the Martinez Refining Company was not a risk to public health. Contra costa county hosted a Public Meeting to discuss the effects of the substance that was released last november. Despite the recent findings that it posed no health threat, many people say they want to see that refinery shut down. The refinery is a Health Hazard and its unsustainable. And the only safe resolution is to shut the refinery down and restore it to open space. This Martinez Refinery Company has a long history of poor maintenance and under staffing dating back to 1915, this site is notorious. The reputation for being a hazardous and unsafe workplace. County Health Leaders say that investigators are still looking into what caused that white substance to be released out. All right. Our time is 711.

Devastated by Deadly Wildfires as people who lost everything, theyre now getting their first look at what happened to their homes after the fires roared through lahaina. Many are coming home to nothing. Piles of ashes, local officials have been trying to help anxious homeowners figure things out. But the main focus at this point is their mental health. Maybe collect the information photographs for insurance purposes. But most important is getting that closure for many of them that left in the midst of the fire. This is going to be the first opportunity to go back and really see whats left. You know, not every homeowner was allowed back on this first visit. Only 464 properties have been cleared by the epa to be visited, compared to more than 2200 buildings that were damaged or destroyed. Now maui will soon be getting a much needed donation from a bay area fire department, the menlo park Fire Protection district is donating a fire engine to mauis fire department, which lost two fire engines in last months devastating fires. The fire districts board president says they wanted to jump into action after seeing what happened to that destroyed truck. I saw this picture of maui county Fire Departments engine one. It was completely destroyed. And i thought, oh, my gosh, we have a surplus. We just voted on surpluses for the last two years and we had seven of these in surplus engines. And i thought, well, why not . It looks help us fill our voids as far as our relief trucks. Um because we got two engines that got damaged. We have two relief trucks in play at those stations. So this adding another quality relief truck will just help us bolster our fleet. The menlo park fire chief says theyll be shipping that donated fire engine to maui in early november. New this morning, an explosion at a crowded gas station in azerbaijan near the armenia border killed at least 20 people and injured nearly 300 more. More than 13,000 people have fled into armenia since azerbaijan defeated separatists who governed that breakaway region for about 30 years. The mass exodus began when azerbaijan lifted a ten month blockade on the regions only road to armenia. Residents have been dealing with severe shortages of food, medicine and fuel. Our time now is 717. The cdc launching a new Promotional Campaign encouraging all of us who are hesitant to get a vaccine to get the flu shot. Now the cdc says their Research Found that people misunderstood the benefits of doing that. The message was put together through focus groups. It avoids being used as a scare tactic to frighten americans to get that flu shot. This softer approach tells people you can still get the flu even if you get the vaccine. But theres evidence that it reduces the risk of serious outcomes. Doctors are cautioning parents against the use of a widely used supplement to help children sleep. New data from an American Academy of sleep medicine survey shows 46 of us parents say they give melatonin to their children ages 13 and under. However, the academy does not recommend melatonin for children because it is not regulated by the fda. Health care professionals recommend talking to your pediatrician about sleep aids. New Research Suggests a rooms temperature makes a big difference in the quality of sleep, particularly among older adults. Researchers studied the sleep habits of dozens of people. They concluded sleep was most efficient and restful. When the temperature was between 68 and 77 degrees. People were more restless. If the Room Temperature was outside that range age in general, no matter what age you are, the cooler or the temperature, the better quality of sleep. Now, why is that . Well, when the temperature is cooler, it actually still regulates melatonin. It therefore then makes your sleep quality better. You have better quality rem sleep and overall, its the way to go. Dr. Cirigliano also says to get a good nights sleep, its important to make the room as dark as possible and have good air circulation as well. I think its a good idea. Okay. All right. Time is up. 19. Lets check in with sal, see if everybodys behaving in the commute. Hows it look . It looks all right. Dave garcia. Good morning to you both. Right now, we do see some slowing, though, which is not unusual. All we do see the usual slowing on highway four coming in from pittsburgh all the way to bay point and a little wet weather moving through kind of our focus issues here. I think the lens is focusing on some of the precipitation, but you will see that its slow all the way out to concord this morning at the bay bridge. It is backed up to the mays. Metering lights are on damp on the roadways. You might want to give yourself a little extra time as you drive through. You can see the san mateo bridge now a lot wetter than it was. So the weather definitely will play a role in the commute. This being the first rain is going to make it a little bit more slippery out there. And some of the commutes are busier. For example, we go to the south bay, we already see some fill in on 85 101. And 280 peninsula traffic looks okay. So far we havent had a lot of slowing on 101 or 287 20. Lets bring roberta back here talking about the weather. You know, roberta, its interesting to me that you say its going to be sunny later. Yes in fact, guess what im doing later today . Whats that . Playing golf. Oh, id like to do that. Yeah, id like to head to the Alameda County fairgrounds and play nine holes there. Yeah. No not doing that, though. I got things to do.

They are so happy to see me. They go the weather girls here. That means everyones going to get their car washed, right . All right. Mostly cloudy skies out the door. Right now. Take a look at this right here. It is our smoke forecast. And you can see the smoke is out of here for the First Time Since a week ago. So we do have good air quality in the offing today. And it all comes down to the direction of the winds. Again so good air quality from the north bay all the way to the santa clara valley. And we do have some light rain as i was alluding to. In fact, weve picked up so far about a 10th of an inch of rain in santa rosa, about 3 100 of an inch of rain at sfo and 2 100 of an inch of rain at monterey. You can see right now in between edgemar and pacifica and montara beach, some light rain showers. Temperatures onshore we go 60s across the board except for novato has now tumbled into the high 50s. These temperatures are up to ten degrees more mild than 24 hours ago. How about that . The winds are currently all over the place, but pretty much on the calm side. A direct onshore push now in throughout that san bruno gap at sfo and calm conditions in Mountain View. I love, love, love, love this imagery because it pinpoints this area of low pressure. This is going to stay there all the way through saturday with Copious Amounts of rain showers in throughout the Pacific Northwest and also go into british columbia. And we have rain showers fueling into crescent city. Its been damp this morning around mendocino county. That will begin to clear out later this afternoon. Were getting sideswiped with that tail end of the system here. Mostly cloudy skies. For openers this afternoon, we do have some clearing of the skies, ill call it partly sunny skies, but then later tonight, watch what happens offshore. And its the redevelopment of the marine layer it forms. It will be deeper. Therefore well pick up some condensation in the form of drizzle along the immediate seashore and up into the san mateo coastline. So heres how im going to play your temperatures today.

All right, sal, thank you. Well some San Francisco supervisors want more middle School Students to study algebra. Ten years ago, San Francisco Public Schools eliminated eighth grade algebra ktvu. Allie rasmus tells us that one supervisor will introduce a ballot measure to let the Voters Decide whether to bring it back. Good morning, alex. Good morning, dave. We are outside James Lick Middle School in San Francisco, where a change in this policy about algebra could affect some of the younger students here as early as next year. There is an ongoing debate on the question of should San Francisco unified bring back algebra to eighth grade classrooms as you mentioned, dave, about a decade ago, the board of the school board here voted to eliminate eighth grade algebra. The idea behind that move was that by waiting until high school to offer the course for everyone, it would allow underrepresented groups and students who struggled with math to catch up. But a study from Stanford University later found that approach didnt work. Math scores for black and latino students did not improve over the last ten years, and students of all backgrounds who actually liked math were denied a chance to excel in it. That led to a push from parent and other education groups to bring eighth grade algebra back to sfusd. San francisco supervisor asha safai and Joel Engardio support that move. They plan to introduce a ballot measure for San Francisco voters to make the change happen. Now, in a tweet explaining the move, supervisor engardio says its not just a matter of academics, but also Financial Health for sfusd saying, quote, a quarter of our kids attend private school, compared to only 9 in california for a policy against eighth grade, algebra is a big factor when families decide to leave Public Schools when their child reaches middle school. Engardio added to that that lower enrollment in Public Schools ends up meaning less resources and money for the district in general. And that is not a good thing. So if supervisor does move forward with this ballot measure, they plan to introduce it to the board of supervisors. At their meeting today. If it ends up ending on the ballot for San Francisco voters to decide, theyd have a chance to vote on it. In this springs city wide election. If it passes, it wouldnt require sfusd to bring back eighth grade algebra. But the idea is that it would at least add to the growing public pressure on the district to make that move live in San Francisco, ali rasmus, ktvu fox two news. Ali, thank you. As the deadline to sign new bills into law approaches, Governor Newsom has signed a bill prohibiting book bans in Public Schools. Under this new law, California Public School Districts would face fines if they ban books related to gender or race. The measure takes effect immediately. Advocates of the bill say that banning books silences, free speech and hurts marginalized communities. Is a responsibility of every generation to making sure that the rights go on for the next generation to be able to enjoy. And today is a special day. The bill was introduced earlier this year after the Temecula Valley school board voted to ban curriculum, mentioning slain San Francisco supervisor and civil rights activist harvey milk. The district said it reversed its decision after being threatened with a 1. 5 million fine. Our time now, 737 governor gavin newsom will debate Florida Republican Governor Ron Desantis in whats being called a red state blue state debate. It will be a 90 minute debate. It is set for november 30th in georgia. And will be broadcast on fox news. Sean hannity will be the moderator for governor. Newsom has been an outspoken critic of the governor of florida over things like immigration, lgbtq rights and other issues. Ron desantis is also due to appear in the second republican president ial debate in simi valley tomorrow. Governor newsom will lead the democratic response. Happening today, President Biden is expected to join the United Auto Workers on the picket lines in michigan before coming to the bay area. The president plans to stand in solidarity with union members, pay and benefits. Republicans say the labor action stems from cost of living adjustments. What does he do instead of staying in town to keep the government running, he goes off to join striking auto workers in michigan over a cola increase. Do you have a president in joe biden who cares for the Labor Union Movement and wants it to be strong in the future . The uaw says its members are not backing down and has expanded its strike against gm and stellantis across 20 states after picketing with the United Auto Workers, the president will head to the bay area for a Campaign Fundraising events. Hell arrive at moffett airfield in Mountain View about 4 00 today. Hell then be in atherton for a private fundraiser event.

Oh, there he is. I was covering you. I wandered off. I kind of lost my mind there for a second, which happens a lot more than you might think. But anyway, anyway, let me just get to the traffic here. I want to say northbound 17 is a problem spot, northbound 17 coming in this is unusually slow traffic because of a crash. And while watching this, i also noticed look at 85 here, northbound 85 is a mess. I believe the weather has something to do with this. The south bay commute is pretty slow. Lets also talk about the bay bridge toll plaza that is backed up. And we do have something new on the bridge. You can tell by looking at all the slow traffic in the carpool lanes, which is on the far right of your screen. Usually thats not the case. Also this morning, we are looking at a commute here on the san mateo bridge. Looks like its actively raining here. So, again, today is the day where you can give yourself an extra 15 or 20 minutes or consider using transit. Now, at 740, a woman whos always there on time, its roberta gonzales.

How many banks do you know that reward you for saving every month . Hes got a good point. Did i mention bmo has more feefree atms than the two largest us banks combined . Uh, bmo . Just beemo, actually. Quick question, will all this stuff fit in your car . should i get rid of the mug . Bmo with no budget deal in sight. And thats making many federal employees nervous about when they may get their next paycheck. A shutdown would mean americans couldnt access many government offices and services. Now, here in the bay area, essential workers like the coast guard and workers at the San Francisco Veterans Administration hospital would be among those nationwide who still have to work, but they would not be paid. Those are our nurses, our doctors, our firefighters, our border patrol, our police people. People throughout this nation that are going to be told that you better show up to work on monday. Youre not going to get a paycheck. A lot of federal employees live paycheck to paycheck. Yeah, congress has until midnight saturday to reach a deal to avoid a Government Shutdown. Well San Franciscos fleet week could be ground if congress cant come up with a budget deal. Fleet week organizers say theyre waiting for guidance from the navy and other military partners on whether or not they should move ahead with next weeks scheduled fleet week events. If theres no deal in place by then, there will be navy ships in the bay, but there wont be any tours and no blue angels air show. San franciscos Hospitality Industry says that would be a huge hit. Whether your restaurants, whether your tour operators, whether you have a bicycle rental shop that people come into town. Those people get impacted if fewer people come into town. So the negative impacts of a Government Shutdown really does touch a lot of people. Now the city missed out on fleet week back in 2013 because of budget cuts and a federal Government Shutdown. That also meant the city missed out on the million or so visitors that fleet week attracts. And the money they spend. Some Business Owners whove already started preparing for fleet week say they would be devastated if the air shows are canceled. They did a shutdown. It just would be. Im not going to say catastrophic, but its just not going to help. Its going to make things worse. Now, so far, San Francisco fleet week says theyll continue to make adjustments as new Developers Come into vision.

Yeah, its jam packed, dave. Yeah, the traffic is very slow right now all over the east bay. Let me pull up this map here to show you that 880 is super slow from san leandro, solid to fremont. 680 is slow. I think the wet weather has a lot to do with it. Bart Just Announced its trains are running a little slow because of wet weather and i think the first wet weather really does affect things more than, lets say if we were in a rainy month, you know, after a while, people get used to it. But the very first wet weather is often a little troublesome. This is highway four westbound. You can see slow traffic there. Sunshine here, but a long line at the Richmond Bridge bay bridge toll plaza is backed up to the maze. And we had some earlier rain here thats been cleared. So im kind of quickly scrolling through the pictures. Look, you can see some slow traffic and rainy conditions. Dumbarton bridge is also slow. The south bay also filled in and highway 17 is a mess because of a crash at the summit. So almost everywhere you look, slow traffic plan accordingly. 751 lets talk about todays weather here is roberta. Its been a beautiful start to this tuesday. So weve had a combination of some wet weather and some lovely clouds that have been pouring into the bay area. Lets take a look at our live weather camera. This particular time. And you can see the layers of clouds drifting overhead that it is just glorious visibility, an issue along the seashore with the marine layer and also the mid and high level cloudiness. And right now below two mile visibility. Look at navy quarter, a quarter mile visibility. We have rain showers well to the north of the bay area and a scattered shower here and there. According to our storm tracker. But for the most part, this precipitation, its out of here. After dumping about a 10th of an inch of rain in santa rosa, temperature wise, 57 degrees in novato. Otherwise every ones comfortable into the 60s. 66 degrees right now around concord where the temperatures up to about nine degrees more mild there than 24 hours ago. But check out the trivalley 13 degrees warmer at this hour than yesterday. At this time, the winds are under ten Miles Per Hour. And all of our weather reporting stations, these winds are going to be fluctuating and then settle in later today out of the south, 10 to 20. This is the area of low pressure. This is a cold front. And this is something we typically see in the month of october. Its tapping into Atmospheric River conditions a little bit on the muggy side as you head out the door this morning. And then that tail end there is swiping across the bay area. Now it sits over the ocean. The core does.

A flock of California Condors was tracked across the mount diablo range for the first time in 100 years. Conservationist say it is big news for the critically endangered species. There were 27 condors in existence in the 1980s. Over the next several years, they were bred in captivity to help keep them from going extinct. Those birds were later released in big sur and Pinnacles National park along the central coast. People know about California Condors now. They know what an important Success Story this is. A flock of 26 is significant in the first place and most of those stopped around pacheco pass. But six of them continued north to mount diablo. Perfect california condor habitat.

Good morning. Im Gasia Mikaelian. It is september 26th. Lets get out in it. Roberta gonzalez the early bird got the rain. If we look toward the later afternoon hours, i assume its going to dry up. Its already beginning to dry out. Garcia we just have a hit and miss splash and dash our primarily around the coast and into the peninsula. Good morning, everyone. Buddy boy, the one great thing about the even light rain is that the air quality is so much better today. Good air quality from the north bay to the south bay. For the First Time Since a week ago last monday. So morning showers are moving out, partly sunny today with slightly below average temperatures and then seasonal numbers return on wednesday and thursday. Wow. Cloud deck over the bay area, thats the marine layer. In addition to layers of clouds associated with that right there. Rain showers across the Northwest Quadrant of the state. Few lingering showers locally, nothing substantial so far, about a 10th of an inch of rain in santa rosa. Its 60 degrees there. Morning to you in fremont. Its 64. Same in concord. And in fairfield, a pair of sixes now pretty common around belmont into burlingame and san mateo later today, 60s through the 70s low 80s full forecast cast still slated to come but right now cued up and ready to go. Heres sal. All right, roberta, thank you very much. We do have traffic out there that is improving in some areas and still pretty slow in others. Westbound Richmond Bridge traffic improving. Its moving better, but theres still a long line to get there. But at the least it is improving. Bay bridge, same thing goes improvement, although it is backed up to the maze in a day on 880 northbound, no more rain , some slowing after high street and on the san mateo bridge, things are finally beginning to move a little bit better now at 802. Lets get back to the desk. All right, sal, thank you. Well, new this morning, another person in san jose has been hit and killed by a car and police say it happened just before 330 this morning on North Jackson avenue, not far from alum rock avenue. The pedestrian was a man. The driver involved in the crash did stay at the scene and talk to police. The traffic, as you can imagine, could be affected in that area. Its near highway 130 and interstate 680. This is the second person hit and killed in san jose by a car in just under 24 hours. Now, the other one happened yesterday morning right around 6 a. M. That person was hit and killed in a crash in the willow glen neighborhood. The impact from the crash was so severe, investigators say the victim actually went through the windshield. Police say a pedestrian was in a crosswalk but did not have the right to cross. Residents in the area talked about it. They say the intersection can be very dangerous. Just through here. No one really pays attention. Its theres so much traffic they dont leave any room. So people try to find when they find an opening, they take it. And thats what happens with a lot of the traffic that goes through here. When someone dies, thats a shame. I mean, it could be my wife. It could be my kid. God forbid, with these two new deadly crashes, san jose has now reached 23 fatal crashes involving a pedestrian this year 37 deadly crashes this year. Overall those numbers are down just a bit from last year. But San Jose City leaders want to keep reducing that number further. Happening today, the Solano County das office will discuss an arrest in the killing of a six year old in 1987. Jeremy stoner was abducted near his vallejo home. Then his body was discovered four days later on Sherman Island in sacramento county. Authorities say that advances in Dna Technology helped lead to the arrest of 69 year old fred cain. The third he was taken into custody at his home in oregon last week, transferred to Solano County. Hes facing a murder charge with special circumstances. Another man was initially suspected of the killing. He died before his name was cleared. Here at home, at 805, one Business Leader in oakland says more than 200 Small Businesses in the city plan to close for at least part of the day today. Its a one day strike thats meant to get the attention of city leaders as Business Owners urge them to do something about rising crime and retail theft. Ctvs james torres live in oakland. With what we could see in the next hour or two. James yeah, gasia the strike should only last one day and its a direct response to some of these recent headlines in the last month that tell us that oakland has basically missed the ball, dropped the ball, missing the deadline to submit an application to secure millions of dollars to help fight some of the mass thefts. Retail thefts and smash and grabs that weve seen all throughout the state in the last year and now some of these Business Owners say closing down for the day should disrupt the city enough to give them some attention. Now, we found out earlier this month the city would not receive that money simply because oakland city leaders missed the deadline to submit a completed application. But a neighboring cities, places like San Francisco and san jose , they will be receiving millions of dollars to fight crime and using those new tools. Now, the owners of many of the shops engaging in that strike today, they say theyve been broken into more than once. And if its not them, its their customers. Usually finding themselves as victims in their parking lots. They say the lack of support is hurting business. Weve met with them several times and the response has been for us to hire private security. This is an untenable situation for us. We are are in the red. Weve been in the red since weve opened toyotas, has been open for ten months. Weve not turned a profit. I dont know where they think we can pull funds for private security. Oakland mayor shang tao commenting on the strike, saying in part, we welcomed the opportunity to meet with any Business Owner that wants to work on collective Safety Solutions alongside our office. I have been personally meeting with dozens of Small Business groups to fund and support initiatives that deter crime and promote safe streets. Now, many of those Business Owners say theyll meet outside the chevelle vietnamese restaurant. Its owners recently announced doors would close for good after being opened in the city for 38 years, saying crime has just become too much. Now, at about 10 00 this morning, that is when the strike will officially begin. We know some of these restaurants and shops and businesses and stores, theyll close for just a couple of hours. But a couple of them also say they may close for the entire day, hoping to send a statement. Were live this morning in oakland. Im james torres, ktvu fox two news. All right, james, thank you. Time now. 807. A San Mateo County supervisor wants more funding for the police super visor. David cannabis said San Mateo County is seeing a rise in Domestic Violence deaths as well as a rise in organized property crimes and auto and retail thefts. He says Police Departments around the county are understaffed and they need more money to bring down the crime rate. We should be able to shop, we should be able to shop just to get toothpaste. Instead, we have to ring three bells as you have to now show a receipt. Can you imagine a receipt . If not, they wont let you out. Thats not the San Mateo County. I want to live in now, supervisor canova will be asking for 750,000 in funding from a sales tax increase measure that was passed back in 2016. San Francisco City workers can once again force People Living on the street, off the streets if they turn down an offer of shelter. An Appeals Court ruled that people are not involuntarily homeless if they turn down an offer of shelter in december of last year, a judge issued an injunction limiting the citys ability to clear out homeless encampments unless the city could offer adequate shelter to over half of unhoused individuals whom city workers are making offers of shelter and services are refusing those offers. Or we know have shelter. Otherwise weve seen more people get into shelter through the cities. Theyve had basically a 10 bump in shelter placements in San Francisco. City workers will now be instructed on how to follow that court order in clearing out homeless encampments. Us authorities are warning People Living and visiting the lake tahoe area in the next few months here to be careful about roaming bears. Wildlife experts say that bears are out looking for food now, so they can gain weight before hibernating this winter. The people in the area are being told to lock all their doors and windows and seal up their crawl spaces. Of course, make sure theres no food lying around. Black bears are typically not aggressive toward humans, but they are scavenging for food, which can make them dangerous. A Placer County Sheriffs Office posted video of an injured bear under a staircase near a restaurant. The states fish and Wildlife Department sent a biologist out to help take care of the bear. Experts say they think it just hid under the staircase to get away from people. Our time is now. 809. New this morning, tony thurmond, the state superintendent of education, says hes running for governor in 2026. Im tony thurman and im running for governor to be a voice for those who need one, because california may be working for millionaires and billionaires, but for the rest of california, we need real change. And this is a look for you at his newly launched campaign video. Tony thurmond wants to replace governor gavin newsom, who will term out of office. Three other candidates have already declared their candidacy and many more have expressed some interest. Time now is at ten. And this morning , we have some roads that are still wet from the overnight rain, others that are getting better. For example, at the bay bridge earlier, it was pretty slick. Here it looks like the rain has stopped. But if you go just down the peninsula or down the east bay a little bit, you will see more wet weather. San mateo bridge getting better. The traffic also is as well. Boy the south bay, that looks pretty slow almost everywhere. This is the slowest day of the week for sure, where weve had a lot of minor crashes that cant mention all of them because theres so many of them in the rain. However i will say that highway 17 is especially slow coming into los gatos because of an earlier crash and then highway four, very slow. West and eastbound. I think thats because of wet weather. And we also had some crashes there and now westbound 24 near the orinda, the crossroads there is a crash. This may affect highway 24. So were going to keep an eye on that for you. Highway 24, i can kind of pull it up here. You can see it is pretty slow. Heading away from walnut creek toward oakland, 811. Lets go back to the desk. All right, sal, thank you. Well, President Biden planning to stand in solidarity with striking autoworkers. Well tell you about the extra stop hell make before he flies Cross Country here to the bay area.

Fires people who lost everything are now getting their first look at what happened to their homes after the fires roared through lahaina. Many are coming home to nothing except piles of ashes. Local officials have been trying to help homeowners figure things out. But the main focus at this point is their mental health, maybe collecting information, photographs for insurance purposes. But most important is getting that closure for many of them that left in the midst of the fire. This is going to be the first opportunity to go back and really see whats left and not every homeowner has been allowed back on that first visit. Only 464 properties have been cleared by the epa for visitation. That compares to more than 2200 buildings that were damaged or destroyed in maui will soon be getting a much needed donation from a bay area fire department. The menlo park Fire Protection district is donating a fire engine to mauis fire department, which lost two fire engines in last months devastating fires. The menlo park districts board president says they wanted to jump into action after seeing photos of that destroyed fire truck. I saw this picture of maui county Fire Departments engine one. It was complete, destroyed. And i thought, oh, my gosh, we have a surplus. We just voted on surpluses for the last two years. And we had seven of these in surplus engines. And i thought, well, why not . It help us fill our voids as far as our relief trucks, um, because we got two engines that got damaged and we have two relief trucks in play at those stations. So this adding another quality relief truck will just help us bolster our fleet and the menlo park fire chief says theyll be shipping that donated fire engine to maui in early november. New this morning, an explosion at a crowded gas station in azerbaijan near the armenia border killed at least 20 people and injured nearly 300 more. More than 13,000 people have fled into armenia since azerbaijan defeated separatists who had governed the breakaway region for about 30 years. The mass exodus began when azerbaijan lifted a ten month blockade on the regions only road to armenia. Residents have been dealing with severe shortages of food, medicine and fuel. Our time now. 817. The cdc now launching a new Promotional Campaign encouraging americans who may be hesitant about vaccines to get that flu shot. The cdc says its Research Found that people misunderstood. Could the benefits the new message was put together using focus groups. It avoids frightening americans into getting the flu shot. This softer approach tells people they can still get the flu even if you get the flu vaccine. But theres evidence that the flu shot reduces the risk of a serious outcome. Doctors are cautioning parents against the use of a widely used supplement to help children sleep. New data from an American Academy of pediatric survey shows that 46 of us parents say they give melatonin to their children ages 13 and younger. The group does not recommend melatonin for children because it is not regulated by the fda. Health care professionals recommend talking to a pediatrician before you use a sleep aid for your child. New Research Suggests a rooms temperature makes a big difference in the quality of sleep, particularly among older adults. Researchers study the sleep habits of dozens of people. They concluded that sleep was most efficient and restful when the temperature was. Between 68 and 77 degrees. They say people were more restless at the outside. If the Room Temperature was outside that range in general, no matter what age you are, the cooler the temperature are the better quality of sleep. Now why is that . Well, when the temperature is cooler, it actually actually stimulates melatonin. It therefore more then makes your sleep quality better. You have better quality rem sleep and overall, its the way to go. Dr. Cirigliano also said to get a good nights sleep, its important to make the room as dark as possible and have good air circulation. Gasia you know, even when were sweating because of our hours, we can always get to sleep. Were pretty much always exhausted. So to sleep not a problem. Yeah, but i dont want you sleeping now. So theres a mess in traffic in the east bay. There is. Thats for sure, dave. And also in the south bay, i think the little bit of rain we had earlier for some is still there. For others has really slowed things down. Lets go to highway 24. Look how slow it is. There was a crash in orinda and thats why its a little bit slower. This comes late morning. So its not something that is going to go away for, you know, probably before the commute. I think were already kind of cooked here. But lets go back to highway four. Its getting a little bit better. But that rain we had earlier has gone. We also had a lot of rain on the Richmond Bridge. Thats improved. Theres even sunshine here, but theres a backup there. Big backup at the bay bridge. In fact, the big backup almost everywhere. This has been different from yesterday where we had slightly lighter than usual commutes. Today none of that today. Its been slow. Could be because everyones back. Couple with the rain. Look at the south bay we are filled in there is no other way. People think, oh, theres another way i can get through. Nope. All the freeways getting up to sunnyvale and cupertino are loaded up with a bunch of stalled vehicles and minor crashes too. In the way. 820 lets bring Roberta Gonzalez back in with todays weather. It has been such an interesting morning. Has it . Hey, i got to ask you really quickly here, do you subscribe to the theory that it doesnt take much rain before that oil comes to the surface and causes problems . I agree with you. It does not. And it did cause problems this morning. Oh, okay. Thank you. Because we havent really had a lot of rain today. Weve certainly seen up to about a 10th of an inch of rain. And that has been in the far reaches of the north bay, primarily around cotati and windsor. Santa rosa picked up 9 100 of an inch. Watsonville with 5 100 of an inch of rain and just a smattering of rain around sfo and also in the east bay in oakland, just enough to wet your cars and you need a car wash today. Isnt this glorious . We have clouds down to 500ft. We also have another layer of clouds down to about 6000 hundred feet and then 2000ft. The bottom line, its mostly cloudy. We do have rain showers around the northwestern section of the state. Few lingering showers around the peninsula right here, right now. You see it right along highway one, reaching half moon bay. Temperatures are in the 60s. Its currently 62 degrees in walnut creek at 63in palo alto. And these temperatures are much more mild than just 24 hours ago. At least by 11 degrees in the tri valley. So youll feel the difference heading out the door. The winds will increase later out of the south, 10 to 20mph. And smoke is no longer a factor in our forecast here in the bay area. What were looking at is this area of low pressure. This is something you would typically see in the month of october. Its premature. Its got a lot of rain associated with it. And its staying put there all the way through saturday. So the Pacific Northwest will remain unsettled and we are getting sideswiped with that tail end thats tapping into Atmospheric River conditions and thus the light rain this morning. So turning partly sunny, average high in the san jose area is 81 today, forecasting 77 degrees. In fact , pinpoint your neighborhood forecast if you are in benicia martinez, American Canyon rodeo or hercules backing all the way into, lets say, the concord area, high 70s and low 80s will be common upper 70s around Redwood Shores and redwood city. Were talking mid and high 70s common around the peninsula from san mateo all the way into east palo alto, 80 morgan hill ending gilroy and good morning trivalley your High Temperature between 80 and 81 degrees. Now its the last week of baseball here in the bay area. Weve got the padres in town, partly sunny tonight, 66 degrees at 645. But meanwhile, your extended forecast, seasonal conditions return wednesday and thursday. Great week ahead for autumn like conditions. Thank you, roberto.

But Roberta Gonzalez has your complete forecast. How do we look . We look as if we are drying out this morning.

Watsonville will 5 100 lesser amounts at sfo and in oakland. But well take it. Look at the big beautiful billowing clouds anywhere from about 500ft to 1700 feet this morning. These clouds are all separate from that right there. Rain showers to the north, clipping the Northwest Quadrant of the state of california. Few raindrops made it into our area and continue to invade the peninsula. Otherwise, its going to pan out to be a terrific tuesday, high 60s to low 80s, very, very autumn. Like right now, 61 in oakland and in hayward as well as in novato and nicasio later today from the high 60s through the 70s to the low 80s a south breeze at 20 late day we have your full autumn week of weather still to come but right now on deck ready to go. Heres Sal Castaneda. Hi there. All right. Good morning, roberta. Yeah, we have a lot of slowing out there to tell you about.

Well, some San Francisco supervisors want more middle School Students to be studying algebra. A ten years ago, San Francisco Public Schools eliminated eighth grade algebra. Ktvu sally rasmus is here now and one supervisor wants to introduce a ballot measure to let Voters Decide this. Good morning, ali. Good morning, dave. Were outside James Lick Middle School in San Francisco where a change in this district policy could affect some of the younger students as soon as next year. San francisco voters citywide could also end up having a say about whether sfusd brings back algebra to be taught once again in eighth grade classrooms. Now, as you just mentioned, ten years ago, sfusd, their board voted to eliminate eighth grade algebra because they said they thought it wasnt a good idea to put kids on a math track. They were concerned that that would allow some underrepresented groups and students who struggled with math, math would not allow them the ability to catch up with peers who did algebra in eighth grade. But a study from Stanford University later found that that approach did not work. Math scores for black and latino students have not improved in the past decade, and students of all backgrounds who like math have been denied a chance to excel in it. That led to a push from parents and other education groups to bring eighth grade algebra back to sfusd. San francisco supervisor asha safai and Joel Engardio support that move. They are among a group of supervisors who plan to introduce a ballot measure for San Francisco voters. To make that change happen. Now in a tweet explaining that measure, supervisor engardio said its not just a matter of academics, but also Financial Health for sfusd saying, quote, a quarter of our kids attend private school compared to only 9 in california, a policy against eighth grade algebra is a big factor when families decide to leave Public Schools, when their child reaches middle school, end quote. We spoke to some San Francisco voters this morning who say they would support a ballot measure on this. I think if students are ready for it, that we should let them have it. And if theyre in the Public School system, we should allow them to have the opportunities because math is really important. Kids can do it and they should do it and they should learn early. They shouldnt lower the expectations for everyone because now if the for supervisor, if the for supervisors sign and approve this proposal for a ballot measure at that board of supervisors meeting later this afternoon, then it would automatically go to San Francisco voters and show up on the ballot in march in the Spring Citywide elections. But if the School District changes its policy before then, and weve spoken with some parent groups and education officials here that say there is a good sign that that may happen, then it obviously wouldnt need a ballot measure. But well have to wait and see what happens in the weeks and months ahead. Live in San Francisco, ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. All right, ali, thank you. Time is 836. The future of some of the smaller schools in the oakland unified School District may be in jeopardy again after School Closures were avoided earlier this year. The chronicle reports the Alameda County superintendent of schools warns the oakland School District about its looming budget deficits and commitments. And with some of the Small Schools facing even smaller enrollments, there are now nine schools with less than 200 students earlier this year, the school board reversed a decision to close down as many as 11 schools after protests were held as the deadline to sign new bills into law approaches. Governor newsom has signed a bill prohibiting book bans in Public Schools under this new law, California Public School Districts would face fines if they ban books related to gender or race. The measure takes effect immediately. Advocates of the bill say that banning books silences free speech and hurts marginalized communities. Its the responsibility of every generation to make sure that the rights go on for the next generation to be able to enjoy. And today is a special day. The bill was introduced earlier this year after the Temecula Valley school board voted to ban curriculum, mentioning slain San Francisco supervisor and civil rights activist harvey milk, the district says it reversed its decision after being threatened with a 1. 5 million fine.
