This is mornings on two. What a start to the day. Good morning and thanks for being with us. Im gasia mikaelian. You know im going to ask you about it. Traffic weather. Where do we start . Weve got a lot to talk about. Im dave clark. Welcome to tuesday, october 10th. Gasia is here. You had an interesting i took the other way to work today and it wasnt because of the rain. Steve paulson there are a couple of big messes on the roads. Well talk to sal about that in a second. We werent sure you were going to make it on time, young lady, but were glad youre here. You all right . A lot of low clouds up above that. Up above. Its okay. You can take a look at the picture for yourself. And if you get some breaks. Hey, it looks nice. It does. There will be a lot of cloud cover coming in here, though. 5060 on the temps. A mild air mass, a lot of drizzle overnight. Now, if youre north here comes another band of clouds. If youre south, i think youll get more sun. So we overnight into early this morning drip drop drizzle morning fog drizzle some sun though a lot of clouds later, some rain to the north. But again, this is to forecast one south and one north. If youre south, you get more sun. If youre north, youll get more clouds. 6070s on the temps south here, 701. I dont know. Orinda richmond, where are you going . Highway 24. Steve is ridiculous. Yes, its horrible. Its very slow. Use another adjective. If you like. But lets take a look at it westbound. As you drive from walnut creek all the way up to the tunnel, it is slow. We had a long standing crash. They had to do an investigation. There was police activity. Oh, my goodness. 24 is slow, slow, slow. Trying to get to the tunnel. There was a crash eastbound that cleared up, but thats just the worst commute in the bay area. You can see how slow it is. 80 is vying for number two between hercules and berkeley and then the Richmond Bridge. We have two right lanes taken away as they are doing the final clearing stages of a deadly crash. Were going to hear about that in just a minute. What you need to know, though, is if you use the Richmond Bridge to get to marin, you need to leave the house early. Lets move on to the bay bridge that is backed up to the maze. And we had an earlier crash on that san mateo bridge approach. Thats very slow right now from hayward. Dumbarton bridge is okay so we just because of the wet weather, i think weve had kind of a very slow commute leave extra time. Its 702. Lets go back to the desk and more on that developing story at the Richmond Bridge as at least one person is dead after a big rig crashed into the tollbooth there late last night. Ktvu Amanda Quintana live this morning and says the collision started a fire that is. Go ahead, amanda. Yeah garcia so the cleanup is still happening here, but in just the last 30 minutes, we saw about 3 or 4 tow trucks leave with the remain of that big rig. So here this morning, weve been watching as those tow trucks were picking up the engine of that big rig. A lot of debris from that big rig, but most of that is gone now and theyre still trying to clean up here where the tollbooth is. Its kind of hard to see because of all of the equipment here. But when you get a look at that tollbooth, it is black. Its charred, really damaged from the fire. A lot of damage here because both the big rig and the tollbooth went up in flames. Now, this happened at ten last night and you could see those flames from the bridges, Traffic Camera crews were here putting out the fire and caltrans was diverting traffic. The coroner was then called to the scene here. The westbound lanes were closed for hours, but three of those lanes, these lanes here on the left, they were reopened overnight. Chp says the lanes on the right are closed indefinitely for repair work. Ive also been told that caltran crews are going to be out here this morning taking a look at that tollbooth and kind of trying to figure out what they do with it and how long that lane is going to be closed. But they say indefinitely right now, in terms of repair work there, we have seen chp stop traffic in the lanes that are open just temporarily for a few minutes this morning as the tow trucks kind of move back and forth forth to get in place, really just to pick up all of this debris and get it out of here. So that has happened a few times. Just so you know, if youre headed this way, this will probably affect your morning commute. So its something that you should be aware of. But in terms of the crash, there are still a lot of Unanswered Questions about what led to it, whether speeding or reckless driving was a factor. And there have also been talks of getting rid of bay area tollbooths since everything is electric, the booths arent really needed anymore, but the Toll Authority has said that work to remove them, that could happen in the next few years. But here on the Richmond Bridge, we wont see those toll booths actually gone until 2026. So right now were going to stay at the scene. But it seems like a lot of the actual big rig has been cleaned up still a lot of damage, though, to the tollbooth here and still those lanes are going to remain closed for a while here. Live in richmond, Amanda Quintana, ktvu fox two news. Amanda, thank you. Pga could be facing a 45 million fine for its role in starting the 2021 dixie fire. The California Public Utilities Commission is set to meet next month to discuss that proposed settlement. Cal fire confirmed last year the fire started in butte county after a tree made contact with pga equipment at the dixie fire, the second largest in our states history. It burned almost a million acres when firefighter was killed. More than 1300 homes destroyed. Our time now, 706 now the latest on the war between israel and hamas. Youre looking at live pictures. We are looking at gaza at this moment. You still see smoke in the in the air. But it has been a busy night. In fact, all during the night, you could see fire and smoke coming from damaged buildings. You also saw palestinian families carrying their belongings, walking along the damaged streets there. And later today, President Biden will make a speech showing us support for israel. But there are reports also from insiders that there are no plans yet to send in american troops. Now, heres what israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said about the future of this war. We didnt want this war. It was forced upon us in the most brutal and savage way. Israel will win this war. And when israel wins the entire civilized world wins. Now, the United States is already sent military aid to israel and talk to our key allies about the war. Were at least 1600 people, including 11 americans, have already been killed. And this morning, we found out that hamas is holding at least four americans hostage and one of them was born here in the bay area before he moved with his family to israel 15 years ago. His mother talked about the moment hamas attacked a Music Festival her son was attending. When hamas came in. After the gunfire settled down and said anyone who can walk, stand up and walk out, we are told that he was completely calm. I think he was probably in shock. And he got up and he walked out with five other people, young people from the Music Festival to young women, three other young men. They were put on a pickup truck and driven away by hamas. Now, israel says its fighter jets today hit more than 100 targets in gaza. They say that area thats being targeted is a hub for hamas. 187,000 people in gaza have been displaced, according to the United Nations outside of San Francisco city hall. A large crowd showed support for israel. Hundreds gathered. Hundreds gathered last night to hear speakers and say prayers for people trapped by the ongoing war. Rabbi Shimon Margolin, his friends and family still in the middle east. He and many others at the rally said this is a war started by terrorists, not the Palestinian People. Were standing against hamas because we want the world to realize that first and foremost, hamas is the biggest enemy of Palestinian People. Its just absolutely devastating. Its really hamas versus israel and unfortunate only so many civilians on the palestinian side and the israeli side are caught. Organizers say theyll continue to hold more demonstrations throughout this week. The rock group u2 paid tribute to the hundreds killed by terrorists during a Music Festival in israel this past weekend. In the light of whats happened in israel and gaza and a song about nonviolence seems somewhat ridiculous, even laughable. But our prayers have always been for peace and end. The band performed a new version of its classic song, pride in the name of love, during a concert in las vegas sunday night. The leagues lead singer, bono, said u2 wanted to express its sadness and outrage over the deaths of innocent people who simply wanted to enjoy an outdoor concert. Our time now. 709. The renewed fighting in gaza causing major concern for ordinary people on both sides whove lived for years with Political Tension and military attacks in including a man who lived in gaza city for five years. Its not like people woke up, you know, on saturday and decided you know, were going to go to war. Its this is something theres a buildup, theres a history. Its in the dna. And what were seeing today is linked it is linked organically to the last 75 years. Now, so loom jelani says this is just the latest round in the continued fight for palestinians to secure what they see as their home land. He says people on both sides want peace, but theyre being divided by radical elements, which makes it harder to reach a solution on both sides can agree on and cant reach a peace unless the underlying conditions are just and livable all for everybody. And thats thats what we should be focused on. What what are livable just conditions for everybody for israelis, for palestinians. What does that look like now experts in middle east history say even during calmer times, its tough to maintain a long term peace. But theres hope as long as both sides are willing to keep working at it. An Oakland Police committee assigned to finding candidates for the next police chief has issued a list of recommended nations. The names of seven applicants were submitted to the committee and lauren armstrong, the former Oakland Police chief, is on that list. He was fired in february by mayor xiang tao for allegedly mishandling misconduct charges against a police officer. Hour later, an independent report found the investigation that led to his firing was unreliable. The list of police chief candidates has been shared with the mayor, City Administration and the full police commission. Time now is 711. Lets get right to that picture of the san mateo bridge because no cars are getting through right now. And its been this way for the last ten minutes. Thats because just before the toll plaza, there is a crash that theyre trying to get some cars out of the water there or out of the ditch, i should say. But it is a mess there at the san mateo bridge. This is going to affect not only 92, its going to affect 880 nearby. Let me let me show you the map here to show you exactly whats going on here. So the traffic is caught right there. This is going to start affecting some of the other traffic heading south. I think some people are probably just going to bypass. You should bypass that bridge and use the dumbarton bridge instead. That would be much better for you. Lets get back to highway 24. Thats been a mess because of earlier crashes heading up to the tunnel. Dont be surprised by this. It is very, very slow. And of course, the Richmond Bridge, in case you havent heard, the Richmond Bridge has at least one lane blocked there because of a crash. Its a couple of lanes, actually. A deadly crash happened last night. So we have a long backup at the bay bridge. We havent even checked in with some of the more routine commutes. But im going to look at the san jose commute right now. And we do have some slowing here and there. Weve had a couple of run of the mill crashes, but traffic is getting slow there as well. 712 lets go back to the desk. All right, sal, thank you. Well, Kaiser Permanente employees are threatening yet another nationwide strike. Well tell you when thousands of workers could possibly walk out again if contract negotiations dont go well.

And this has been this way. This this all lanes blocked. Its been this way. Now for about ten, 15 minutes. And you can tell that obviously theres no one getting through. But ill also tell you that 92 is backed up to 880 and 880 is affected. So well have another traffic update. Now, it does look like is that a vehicle getting through . Thats what that looks like. One car getting through. Well keep an eye on it for you. Well let you know more coming up. All right, sal. Thank you. Time is 717. New this morning, the number of candidates running to become californias next senator just became a bit more crowded. Steve garvey with the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball legend launched his campaign for the us senate this morning. Hes 74 years old, a former all star. Hell be running as a republican. He told ktvus greg lee his priorities are the economy, crime and education and him getting into the race may shake things up and give republicans a big name to get behind for support so far. Eric early is right now the only other major republican candidate now steve garvey, is joining a field dominated by democrats adam schiff, katie porter and barbara lee. And we still at this point dont know if recently appointed senator Laphonza Butler will run for a full senate term. Californias primary system allows the top two vote getters in march, regardless of their political party, to advance to the general election. The coming up on our news that later this afternoon, greg lee will be talking to steve garvey to find out more about his priorities and with the war between israel and hamas , republicans are scrambling to elect a new House Speaker in washington. Republicans will hold a Candidates Forum tonight right as where the candidates will make their pitch on why they should replace Kevin Mccarthy as House Speaker. And then tomorrow night, there will be a vote to see if anyone has close to or the needed 218 votes to become the new speaker. House speaker is needed to approve legislation like humanitarian aid to israel. Were working to find out new information about a man who was shot and killed by police in San Francisco after driving his car into the chinese consulate. Ktvu andre senior here in studio with images from inside the consulate. Andre just before right before police arrived. Yeah. Gasia here it is right here. That video, the violent incident on falling shortly after 3 00 yesterday. This happened in the area of gary boulevard and laguna street where that consulate is located. And a number of critical questions still need to be answered about this. Now this video posted on social media shows the chaotic scene on the edge of the fillmore district, San Francisco police opened fire and killed the driver of a blue honda civic who had crashed through the front door of that consulate. Investigators say the speeding car ended up in the lobby where several people were applying for visas so they could travel to china. I was shaking. I was i was like very, like scared. It was very like slightly traumatic. I heard a really loud bang. I thought it was like gunshots. But i turned to the left and there was smoke. No one inside the consulate was hurt. San Francisco Police and firefighters rushed the wounded suspect to the hospital in spite of the lifesaving efforts of the police officers, a firefighter, paramedics and personnel at the hospital. The suspect was later pronounced deceased. Well, so far police have not released any details about the suspect or the shooting, and they have not revealed any possible motive here. But several witnesses say the man killed here was carrying two knives. Police say there are multiple agencies involved in this investigation since the shooting happened inside the chinese consulate. And with all Police Shootings in San Francisco, the department will hold a town hall meeting on this incident within in the next ten days. Gasia andre senior, thank you. Several cable car passengers were hurt after the operator hit the brakes to avoid crashing into a vehicle on the tracks in San Francisco. Though the cable car was heading down washington street toward taylor, witnesses say the operator pulled the emergency brake to avoid hitting a car on the tracks. That wouldnt move. So he pulled whatever it was, the emergency brake. And when he all went flying, there were people standing in front of us and they both went off the side and pregnant lady sitting next to bob. Shes i think, still sitting over there. Theyre going to take her to the hospital. 14 people were evaluated by medics. Fire Officials Say six were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Witnesses say the car on the tracks took off. All right, guys, here. Time is 721. Back to sal. There are too many things happening in our morning commute, particularly the san mateo bridge. Yeah, you know, cars are getting through again. Theyve let some cars get through from this crash right before the toll plaza on the san mateo bridge. So if you look at this, you say it looks not too bad. What youre not seeing is the traffic getting to this point. Now i see more and more cars getting through and that could be a good sign. Speaking of bridges, weve had, of course, the problem on the Richmond Bridge approach, where we have two right lanes closed because of a truck accident last night. Its a little better now that they have four lanes open, but it is backed up into richmond. Its kind of one of those days as you approach the Richmond Bridge and its going to be that way for the time being. And highway 24, the third headliner, im not sure which one is worse actually, but 24 is jammed solid. And from walnut creek to oakland, whats going to happen to 680 is its going to get slow if its not already. From concord to walnut creek, some people are going to divert and go down towards san ramon. This is not very good commute this morning. I think part of it has to do with a little bit of that wet weather we had. And speaking of that, its time to bring Steve Paulson back in here. Thank you so. Castaneda appreciate that. Okay. An active pattern for october, but mainly north. So theres two forecasts today, one south, more sun, one north, more clouds and maybe more rain. The jet stream is doing the bulk of it is staying up here right up in there. Were on the southern edge of it. Theres not a lot of support for it. But give this system credit. It did drag across this to the third front. Weve had that did produce some rain. So there are some breaks in the fog and increasing clouds, though, are already beginning to move into the picture to the north. Tilden park, i think was the winner 22 100. Mount tamalpais 19 cazadero 14. In Oakland Hills, right above the caldecott there at 14 one hundreds and then a couple 100 0. 05 to 12 100 from orinda vallejo. Tiburon, la honda. Santa rosa. Bonny doon, mill valley to the berkeley botanical gardens. So not bad. A little bit of a west southwest breeze. So its onshore. If youre up above the fog or if the fog has already retreated, youre getting some sun here for a while. So to the south, more sun to the north, more clouds a little bit cooler now that some of that cloud deck has cleared out a little bit. We were stuck in the 60s earlier. Now theres 50s and 60s. You can see where the line is being drawn, though. Theres going to be a lot of rain up on the north coast as a series of these systems continue to take aim at us, probably for about a week. I dont think therell be any change till about this time next week than it does look warmer. But watch all these systems just keep barreling in. Now, again, were on the southern edge of these, so we dont get much. We get a lot of cloud cover, but not a lot of rain unless youre on the north coast. This will continue all the way into at least sunday night or monday. Look at ukiah, almost an inch of rain there, an inch and a half eureka, redding, an inch of rain. I mean, thats fantastic news for the firefighting concerns and also the cooler temps. This week. They look to stay mainly in the 70s for most locations, some low clouds, some sun, mild lows. So clouds north with more drizzle or rain, but more sun to the south. So if youre down towards san jose and santa clara valley, itd be much nicer. If youre north, youre going to get a lot of cloud cover, 6070s on the temps partly cloudy wednesday thursday looks okay and then we clouded up again friday. More rain looks like to the north. Friday, saturday, maybe again sunday night. Monday. You too. Thank you, steve. 724 a south bay Pumpkin Patch is vandalized. How the owners plan to track down one of the people suspected of breaking in and causing thousands of dollars in damage. And visitors at the santa monica pier in Southern California could not believe what they were seeing.

In Southern California, the man who was wearing a backpack claimed he had a bomb as he climbed the 85 foot tall ferris wheel at the santa monica pier. The passenger was on the ride, were evacuated by police, who then tried to talk the man into coming down from the center of that ferris wheel. And when he finally did, he was tackled by police and the man did not have a bomb, but he was having a crisis. Police gave us no other details about him and no one was hurt. The governor has signed a groundbreaking bill involving social media and californias children. It would allow the parents of sexual Abuse Victims to sue social media platforms for knowingly permitting exploitation and trafficking material on their sites. Industry selfregulation has been a complete failure. Every parent in the audience knows that you have to hold them accountable. In this case, the law holds people legally accountable and allows individual families to sue the platforms that have permitted this kind of exploitation that will get results. The Tech Companies are expected to file a lawsuit to block the law, which is set to go into effect in january of 2025. Our time now. 728.

Wow, i need shades as the sun is out yet below that you might have fog. Its a combination of two forecasts today. One to the north and one to the south. 50 to 60s on the temps there are some breaks in that cloud deck, but already more cloud is advancing north. So south more sun north, youll get more clouds and maybe more drizzle or light rain by later this afternoon. This evening. So again, thats why they have to forecast east south is just not in on this north definitely is so 6070s on the temps south here my goodness he could do an hour show san mateo bridge yeah well san mateo bridge our highway 24. Both of them are bad in fact, were going to touch on three. Steve didnt mention the Richmond Bridge. Lets start with highway 24. We had an earlier crash near the caldecott at traffic is backed up from walnut creek. Its improving a little. Not a lot. We are also talking about the whole east bay commute. Is slow part of it due to the wet weather. And we also do have on the Richmond Bridge, we have the two right lanes taken away because of a crash. San mateo bridge traffic is getting through after they had a crash near the toll plaza. It is backed up all the way to eight 8733. Lets go back to the desk and more on that developing story thats causing problems at the richmondsan. Rafael bridge. Sals been reporting on chp says the driver of a big rig was crashed after was killed after crashing into the toll plaza there. This was the scene just before 10 00 last night. Investigators say the big rig smashed into a toll booth and burst into flames. So far, no other injuries reported. And certainly the chp is still investigating. That crash shut down all westbound lanes of the bridge for more than 3. 5 hours. Right now. The two right lanes are still closed our time is now 734. Were hearing from americans who say their loved ones are missing in israel days after the war with hamas started. Ktvu ali rasmus is here in the studio now with the latest information from those families and the latest on the situation in israel right now. Good morning, ali. Good morning, dave. Well, there is a full scale siege of gaza underway right now. The Israeli Military has blocked all food, electricity and supplies from entering gaza. Representatives for hamas, meanwhile, have threatened to execute some of the hostages theyve taken if israeli airstrikes continue. And there is word of new israeli airstrikes this morning. We can show you a live picture right now. A look at gaza, where throughout the morning weve seen what looks like explosions here in this picture. This is a boat in gaza that apparently was the target of one of those airstrikes. You can see a big plume of black smoke coming from it and part of the boat on fire there. We have also seen other signs of explosions and fires also from gaza in the skyline there from these live pictures, we continue to monitor the latest information is that hamas has taken about 150 people as hostages, some of them young people who were at an outdoor Music Festival when the surprise attack happened. And some of them are american citizens. The parents of 23 year old hirsh goldberg, poland, who is originally from berkeley, say he was at that Music Festival when he and his friends came under attack by hamas militants. They fled to a bomb shelter. According to witnesses and survivors, that the family has spoken to. Hamas gunmen followed them into that bomb shelter as grenades were being thrown in. They were tossing them back out. That that time family members who spoke this morning live in jewish communities near the border with gaza and they experienced the deadly attack saturday morning. Here is how they described it. Hundreds of heavily armed, well organized terrorists walked rode, ran over the border with one object in mind, and that is to kill, maim and destroy civil life along the border. Im what is called a peacenik in israel, as many of the kibbutz members are in our area. But what weve witnessed, this kind of savagery, this kind of inhumanity must be stopped. A joint Statement Released overnight from President Biden and the leaders of france, italy, germany and the United Kingdom acknowledged the atrocities and condemned the violence, saying, quote, in recent days, the world watched in horror as Hamas Terrorists massacred families in their homes, slaughtered over 200 young people enjoying a Music Festival and kidnaped elderly women, children and entire families. All of us recognize the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian People. Hamas does not represent those aspirations, and it offers nothing for the Palestinian People other than more terror and bloodshed, end quote. The Biden Administration vowed to send available weapons to israel later today, President Biden will address the nation about this war. Dave. All right, ali, thank you. Time now, 737 last night in lafayette, there was a gathering where people showed support for israel Temple Isaiah hosted the event. There were speakers who mourned the loss of lives and showed concern for people still being held as hostage. I thought about everyone who has lost, loved ones and the countless people who have been taken hostage and every person who has been gravely injured, and about the government who we now have to put our faith in, that they will be able to protect the people of israel and the coming days we come together tonight completely broken hearted and torn apart in anguish. These are dark days. These are dark days. God is weeping with us to let us turn to god for light and for strength. And let us turn to one another and that abandoned lafayette ended with a prayer for all of those whove been killed with the California State Capitol was lit up in the colors, blue and white, showing californias, quote, unwavering support for israel and its people. The Governors Office said it unequivocally condemns the attacks by Hamas Terrorists on israel and on innocent civilians. Kaiser Permanente Health Care workers are back at work after a three day strike last week and theyre warning there could be another walkout next month. Thousands of workers across the country remain concerned about what they call unsafe staffing levels. They also say kaisers medical system is violating labor laws. Another round of negotiations between the unions and management is set for the end of this week. The workers say if those talks dont produce results, theyll walk out again november first. Weve asked kaiser for a response to this development. We have not yet heard back our time now. 739. Happening today, the star witness scheduled to take the witness stand in one of the most closely watched fraud trials in american history. Sam bankman freed is accused of orchestrating an elaborate scheme to steal billions of dollars from customers of his now bankrupt Crypto Trading platform. Caroline ellison is expected to testify today. Shes a stanford graduate. She was one of bankmanfrieds closest aides while he was running the company f. T. X. And a man working in a restaurant in fruitvale. She was shot after standing up for his employer, who owns that restaurant. It happened during a robbery in oaklands fruitvale neighborhood. It happened a little after midnight monday morning near 42nd avenue and foothill boulevard in oakland. The owner of the restaurant there was getting into her car when someone pulled up alongside and confronted her. Her employee tried to step in. And when he saw her getting mugged, but the robber then turned his attention on to him and opened fire. They took 4,000 from her. They beat her up real severely and they also heard the employee pretty badly. They tried to help. Oakland is a lawless city right now. A lot of crazy things are happening, but i applaud the individual to step up and try to save that womans life. Now, both of the victims are taken to a hospital for treatment and they are expected to recover. Santa clara county is testing a new program that allows Law Enforcement to increase or decrease bail for repeat criminal offenders. Santa clara county da and local Law Enforcement created the program. It allows officials to explain why a higher or lower bail would be a good option. Supporters say it will decrease the number of people who are arrested over and over again. Critics though, say theres no evidence higher bail amounts lead to better public safety. All right, guys, your time is 741. Back to sound. His hands are filled. Too many traffic problems today. Thats right. Its slow everywhere today. Part of it was earlier crashes. We had a little bit of wet weather for highway 24 is much worse today than it has been from walnut creek to oakland. Pretty slow. We had an earlier crash there thats been cleared, but traffic is very slow. Im going to show you the map here. Look at 24 is slow, 680, highway 480. And of course, the Richmond Bridge. We still have the two right lanes taken away after a deadly crash happened overnight. But we do have some a little bit of progress there. Its looking okay considering the circumstances. San mateo bridge is recovering after an earlier crash right near the toll plaza. Some people are using the dumbarton bridge thats a little more crowded than you usually see it. We havent talked a lot about the Silicon Valley commute, but northbound 85 at de anza, theres a crash there and now traffic is backed up big time coming in from the south area all the way up into cupertino. So this this is a bad commute day. Thats almost everywhere. 742 lets talk about todays weather. Heres steve. Thank you, sir. Yes, sir. All right. I guess i should say its rainbow weather because chris henry henrys sent me one earlier and now jake badger fan says good morning. Well, good morning, jake. Rainbow over Lone Tree Golf Course in antioch. Thats a good one. Thank you. Shout out to everyone there at lone tree. I havent played during a long time. Long time, of course. I dont live over there anymore. So thats one reason why. Look at all the moisture just plowing into the northern part of the state. This is a wet pattern for them. We are just a little too far south. We get some activity and already in leading edge of the next round of clouds are rolling into the north. So we have two forecasts today, one south, more sun, one north, more clouds tilt and bark, i think was the vanguard there, if you will, 20 to 100 overnight on the rain Mount Tamalpais 19, cazadero 14 in the Oakland Hills. Also right above the claremont at 14 other locations. Berkeley botanical garden, mill valley, bonny doon, santa rosa, la honda. Tiburon, vallejo and orinda, all between 0. 05 and 12 100. We had all 60 at one time. Then we got some breaks in the clouds and the temps dropped. Santa rosa, petaluma mill valley point rays , other locations stayed in the clouds and stayed in the 60s so 50s and 60 on the temps. This is a wet pattern for especially del norte, humboldt county, northern Mendocino County and redding, north to the oregon border. Not not just one system. It looks like therell be three over the next couple of days here. All the way into probably next monday or tuesday before the signs of a warm up again. Look at all these systems. They come in, they tend to fall apart over us. Why is that . Because the jet stream is split part of the part of the energy goes like most of the energy goes up here when you get it there in between. Its just its like taking a rubber band and stretching it. The middle part becomes weaker. Thats what we get. Plus, theres no cold air. But look at all these systems coming in. Just seems plowing in. Plowing in. Thats monday night. So if you like this pattern, youve got another week of it. You have you have not. You got. Gee, steve, come on. 21 100 to 4 10 for santa rosa. Ukiah 9 10. Look at eureka inch and a half. Redding 92 and thats a ton of rain for redding in october. Low clouds, sun, mild lows 50 to 60 clouds north drizzle. Most of that looks to be ending more sun to the south, more clouds to the north. So 60 to 70 on the temps here. Maybe more rain developing north of santa rosa. Again a break on thursday. Next system friday night, saturday, next one after that, sunday into monday. All right, steve, thank you. Time now, 744.

Those are the surcharges you pay on things like tickets for sports events, Overdraft Fees on Bank Accounts and Service Charges on food deliveries. State analysts say californians pay at least 29 billion in total per year. On those fees, companies can still charge service fees, but they will have to include the amounts in any advertised prices that ban goes into effect next summer, and many people say despite inflation, they still plan to spend at least what they spent last year on gifts.

Vegas by the way, has the sharks tied for the worst odds to win the stanley cup. All right. 752 we have had a handful of major problems. We sure have any one of which could be a headline for this tuesday commute. Sal yeah, and they all came at once, unfortunately. So right now, lets go to the east bay. I want to show you that highway 24 is still pretty slow as you drive out of walnut creek solid all the way to oakland. But 80 is also very slow from hercules to berkeley. Weve had a couple of different crashes. One near highway four, one there in richmond. And of course, the Richmond Bridge itself has been an issue because of the two lanes taken away from a deadly crash that happened last night. San mateo bridge is better after a crash near the toll plaza and you can see, though, its still very slow trying to get to it from hayward and the south bay is also very slow. My suggestion, if you can, would be to try and put the trip off until a little later. If you have any flexibility as you know, the sun is coming out, the roads are not as wet as they were and people are driving through. You might want to have a better midday commute if you can. 753. Lets bring steve back in. Im not going to work. So thats just too much traffic out there, isnt it, though . Yeah, im doing im going to do this from home. All right. Maybe you can. All right. If youre on the north coast, heavy rain. Where . Crescent city at some early, theres going to be a lot of rain. Del norte, humboldt county, trinity, Mendocino County, maybe lake, northern Sacramento Valley for us. A lot of drizzle weve had a ton this morning. I mean, tilden park at 22 100. Mount tamalpais is 19. So favoring higher elevations, but about a 0. 05 to a 10th of an inch cover. Therell be more and farther north, better opportunity, farther south, and not so much maybe santa cruz mountains. Bonnie doon at a 10th of an inch. Ben lowman was in there as well. There will be a series of these systems marching through for at least a week as the way it looks to me. And now they dont pack a lot of a big punch, but they keep moisture going and they keep rain as well. Cooler temps and higher humidity. So this is good for firefighting concerns, especially with that much rain on the north coast. And you can see these systems, they come right to the right, to the bay area and then they tend to fall apart. Theres no cold air advection. Theres no jet stream support. Were on the southern end of all these. But theres your next system for monday night. After that, maybe well warm up. But you can take a look and see. Eureka, ukiah, santa rosa, north and redding. Thats not too shabby for october. South of that, very little, if any, just drizzle or light rain too. Forecasts one north favors more clouds, maybe some more light rain or drizzle south a lot more sunshine and 70s on the thames. So again, its just you know, we had some low clouds still have some but there are noticeable breaks in it. But then increasing clouds to the north will take us into tuesday night, wednesday, thursday looks good. Next system friday night, saturday, another one sunday into monday. All right, steve, thank you. Time now, 755 youtube, one of the most popular bands in the world, coming up at seven. Coming up next, u2s tribute to the hundreds of People Killed at the israeli Music Festival and its a common question when couples get married.

He was a major supporter of the idea of giving while living, pledging to give away all of his money while he was still alive. And from 1982 until 2020, his philanthropic arm gave away more than 8 billion. Now he often gave it anonymously. He wanted to stay out of the spotlight and his attitude towards giving would became an influence on bill gates and Warren Buffett. When they launched the giving pledge. Mr. Charles feeney died at the age of 92. Well the state of california is expanding an initiative aimed at cleaning up and revitalize public spaces. Its part of a long term clean up effort known as the clean california initiative, led by cal trans and focused on removing trash, creating jobs and encouraging communities to bring new life to public spaces. The Governors Office posted video recorded near San Franciscos powell street bart station that the state will be getting 114 million in new grant money. 14 of those 114 will be for revitalizing public spaces like this specific targeting transit areas, bus stops. Address the issue of graffiti and beautification. Those dollars are going out in real time and we dont have time. Its time to clean up this state. Now the new funding is expected to help with 60 cleanup projects, acts all across the state. Our time is 8 00 and a new survey found that most married women are still changing their last name.

A deadly crash at the richmondsan rafael bridge, the toll bridge there Live Team Coverage on this collision and the impact on this mornings commute. Police shoot and kill a driver who slammed into the chinese consulate in San Francisco. We hear from one of the people inside the building at the time of the gunfire and the committee looking for oaklands next police chief have selected seven candidates. And one name on that list is drawing a lot of attention from ktvu fox two news. This is mornings on two. All right. So wet morning for many people across the bay area. Its been drizzling slowly and steadily for throughout the night, which means roads are slick and it could take a little bit longer to get to work and to school. Welcome to mornings on two at 8 00. Im andre senior. Good morning. Im gasia mikaelian. It is tuesday, october 10th. Had the windshield wipers going intermittent early early today. Steve paulson. Are things drying up a bit . Yes they are. I as well coming in it was mainly on, but yes, there was a lot of drizzle this morning. Some sun, a lot of low clouds in here. If you get the sun, its not too bad. But two forecasts, one south and one north, the one north will include more increasing clouds. One south has more sunshine. You can see right there, the systems already moving in. Its more show than go. But we had some pretty good drizzle overnight. So your two for tuesday does favor that forecast to the north versus the south. So look for clouds to the north, more sun to the south. Highs, though, staying around the 60s and also the 70s. San mateo bridge highway 24, Richmond Bridge, where are we going . I know. Well, lets start with 24 so we can kind of make a round robin here. Steve highway 24 is very slow because of a crash that happened much earlier this morning. It never recovered. And now 24 is backed up pretty solid from walnut creek all the way to the tunnel. It is getting a little better, but not much. If you can see. Look at the road sensors here. 680 is slow. Highway four is slow, 80 is a joke from hercules to berkeley and on the Richmond Bridge, we still have the two right lanes closed due to a crash that happened last night at about 10 00. Those lanes have been closed since then and for a while all the lanes were closed. Well find out more about that in a minute. San mateo bridge, that traffic looks okay, but we had an earlier crash near the toll plaza and of course, all the commutes are really heavy, especially that east bay commute between hayward and fremont. Thats just very, very slow. Its 803. Lets go back to the desk. Our table will go back to that issue. Just mentioning a moment ago on the richmond, san rafael bridge, one person is dead after a big rig crashed into a toll booth there. Ktvu Amanda Quintana joins us live from that bridge. Thats a collision started a fire and that ended up causing all westbound lanes to be shut down for hours. Amanda sal just said two lanes still remain shut down. We weve been here all morning watching the cleanup and really now that the light is out, weve been able to see more of this damage. So take a look at the signs. We could see kind of the fire damage. You see the signs at the top that usually say fast track or invoice. Its that one on the very right. Right. Look at that damage that we are seeing from the fire. So this morning, weve been here watching as multiple tow trucks were here picking up and taking away debris from that big rig. They picked up the engine and they had a larger charred piece of the big rig trailer and a lot of other debris that honestly was almost unrecognizable usable with all of the damage to it because that big rig and the toll booth, they both went up in flames after that crash. Now, this happened at ten last night and you could see those flames from the bridges Traffic Camera crews were here putting out the fire and caltrans was diverting traffic. The coroner was then called here to the scene in the westbound lanes were closed for hours. But right now we have four lanes open, open and the chp says the other two on the right are going to be closed indefinitely for repair work. They just opened up that fourth lane in the last maybe hour or so, but only three have been open. Now, it seems like traffic is flowing much better, but this could still affect your morning commute if you come this way. This is definitely something you should be aware of. But in terms of the crash, there are still a lot of Unanswered Questions about what led to the crash, whether speeding or reckless driving was a factor. The Toll Authority does have plans to get rid of all bay area toll booths since everything is electric now and the booths, they arent really needed anymore. But that wont be done for a few years, so it would be completed here on the Richmond Bridge in 2026. Weve been seeing a few glimpses of the actual toll booth as tow trucks move different trucks that are here move. But it is really, really damaged by that fire. Its hard to see now, but there is a lot of damage to that toll booth. So caltrans is out here. Theyre going to be looking at it, trying to get an idea of the damage and what can be done. But for now, it seems like the lanes that are closed will be closed for some time. Live in richmond, Amanda Quintana, ktvu fox two news. Amanda, thank you. 806 here. Pga could be facing a 45 million fine for its role in starting the 2021 dixie fire. The California Public Utility Commission is set to meet next month to discuss that proposal settlement. Cal fire confirmed last year the fire started in butte county after a tree made contact with pga equipment. The dixie fire was the second largest wildfire in california history. It burned almost a million acres when firefighter was killed. More than 1300 homes were destroyed. Lloyd. All right. At 826. Now to the latest on the war between israel and hamas. These are live pictures of at least one boat at a port in gaza on fire right now. Its been burning for some time. And you could see the heavy black smoke and flames billowing from that. We understand this is from a missile strike. And, of course, weve been reporting that israel has been carrying out air strikes in gaza since yesterday. Now later today, President Biden will make a speech showing us support for israel. But reports from insiders say there are no plans yet to send in american troops. Meantime im an Israeli Military official Just Announced that israels death toll from the hamas attacks has risen above 1000. Now, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says israel must defend itself. We didnt want this war. It was forced upon us in the most brutal and savage way. Israel will win this war. And when israel wins, the entire civilized world wins. The us has already sent military aid to israel and talked to key allies about the war, where at least 1600 people, including 11 americans, have already been killed. This morning weve learned that hamas is holding at least four americans hostage. One of them was born here in the bay area before he moved with his family to israel 15 years ago. His mother talked about the moment hamas attacked the Music Festival. Her son was attending. Hamas came in after the gunfire settled down and said anyone who can walk, stand up and walk out. We are told that he was completely calm. I think he was probably in shock and he got up and he walked out with five other people, all young people from the Music Festival to two young women, three other young men. They were put on a pickup truck and driven away by hamas. Now, within the last few hours or so, hamas fired a barrage of rockets from gaza into southern israel. It follows morning airstrikes by israel that targeted more than 100 hamas targets, 187,000 people in gaza have been displaced, according to the United Nations outside of San Francisco city hall. A large crowd showed up last night to show support for israel. Hundreds gathered to hear speakers and say prayers for people trapped in the ongoing war. Rabbi Shimon Margolin has family and friends still in the middle east, says hes one of many people who said this is a war started by terrorists, not the Palestinian People. Were standing against hamas because we want the world to realize that first and foremost, hamas is the biggest enemy of Palestinian People. Its just absolutely devastating. Its really hamas versus israel. And unfortunately, so many civilians on the palestinian side and the israeli side are caught. Organizers say theyll continue to hold more demonstrations throughout this week. Rock group u2 paid tribute to the hundreds of People Killed by terrorists during a Music Festival in israel this past weekend. In the light of whats happened in in israel and gaza and a song about nonviolence seems as somewhat ridiculous, even laughable. But our prayers have always been for peace and the band performed a new version of its classic song, pride in the name of love, during its concert in las vegas sunday night, the lead singer bono, said u2 wanted to express its sadness and outrage over the deaths of innocent fans who simply wanted to enjoy an outdoor concert. The renewed conflict in gaza is causing great concern for ordinary people on both sides who have lived for years of Political Tensions and military attacks. And that includes one man who lived in gaza city for five years. Its not like people woke up, you know, on saturday and decided, you know, were going to go to war. Its this is something theres a buildup, theres a history. Its in the dna and what were seeing today is linked, is linked organically to the last 75 years. Salem angelone says this is just the latest round in the ongoing fight for palestinians to secure what they see as their homeland. And he says people on both sides want peace, but they are being divided by racial elements and that makes it much more difficult to reach a solution. Both sides can live with, cant reach a peace, an unless the underlying conditions are just and livable for everybody. And thats thats what we should be focused on what what are livable just conditions. As for everybody, for israelis, for palestinians, what does that look like, at least history experts say even during calmer times, its been difficult to maintain a long term peace. But theres hope as long as both sides are willing to keep working at it. An Oakland Police committee assigned to find candidates for the next police chief has a list of recommendations. The names of seven applicants were submitted by the committee, including the name of lauren armstrong, the former opd chief. Armstrong was fired in february by mayor shengtao for allegedly mishandling misconduct charges against a police officer. Later in independent report found the investigation that led to his firing was unreliable. While the list of police chief candidates has been shared with the mayor, City Administration and the full police commission. Time is 811. Weve had a very slow traffic day because of incidents and some wet weather we had earlier in the commute. Lets go right to the east bay. This whole stretch between hayward and fremont has just a bunch of crashes and its very slow right through here. We had an earlier crash at the san mateo bridge opening and thats very slow. The bridge itself is actually okay, but just getting to it is very slow. Highway 24 probably wont recover this morning until well after the morning commute. We had a crash in the five and 6 00 hour, took it a while to clear. And now weve just been behind schedule the whole time throughout. And of course, weve been talking about the Richmond Bridge, two right lanes taken away after a deadly crash there. And theres a long backup from way into richmond getting up to the bridge. 812 now, lets go back to the desk. Well Kaiser Permanente employees are threatening another nationwide strike.

Los angeles dodgers legend steve garvey launched his bid for us senate this morning. The 74 year old former all star will run as a republican. He told political reporter greg lee. His priorities are the crime economy and education. His entry in the race could shake things up and give republicans a big name to get behind so far. Eric earley is currently the only other major republican candidate here. Now, garvey joins a field dominated by democrats. And were talking about adam schiff, katie porter and barbara lee.

The bill would have taken away redistricting power from elected officials in many large cities and counties.

Advocates argue it would help prevent elected officials from manipulating district boundaries to benefit a particular political party.

Police in fact, shot and killed the driver of a car that crashed through the front door of the consulate.

All right, andre and gasia, good morning to you both. Right now, we still have a lot of slowing almost everywhere. What happened earlier in the morning has not improved. Where the crash that was near the tunnel is gone. But the traffic is not really improved. Its not going to until we get away from this morning commute sometime during the middle of the day. We still have a lot of slowing on 80 westbound. I think some people avoided 680 there on 80. The Richmond Bridge still has a couple of lanes taken away because of an earlier overnight crash and on the san mateo bridge its very slow. Its also super slow. Let me just remove the icons from all the things that have happened between hayward and union city. Very slow traffic. Weve had a bunch of crashes there, a lot of fender benders. Heres something on eastbound 580 getting out from Castro Valley on the way over to dublin. An unusual backup because of a crash near eden canyon road. So, again, almost everywhere you look, weve had some slow traffic, 880 spring, steep back in here with todays weather. Arent you glad it doesnt snow here so. Oh, my goodness. I think wed have to have a whole weather and traffic show. It seems like we do on days when it rains. Thats true. All right. Thank you, sal. Well head over to sausalito now. Our good friend kevin levy there, 17, 100 more than expected, but not complaining. That puts you in the top three, kevin, because tilden park, 23 one hundreds in Mount Tamalpais, not far away, 1900s, cazadero 14, right above the claremont there, Oakland Hills there at 14 100. The locations 0. 05 from orinda to the berkeley botanical gardens, uc berkeley botanical gardens, 0. 05 to 12 100. Mill valley. Bonny doon. Two dots in there for bonny doon, santa rosa, la honda, tiburon and vallejo, all in there on less than a 10th of an inch. The next band of clouds is moving in and you can see its already beginning to make its move now heading into the north bay after some breaks in the low clouds for others. So more sun to the south, more clouds to the north. This is a wet pattern for northern california. And by that i mean Mendocino County north. There are going to be some hefty totals over the next 5 to 7 days, especially up around arcata, crescent city, eureka and probably redding north, 50, 60, a little cooler now for some. We get the breaks, a temp drop fast. Theres even a little bit of an onshore breeze. But theres going to be a lot amounts, Copious Amounts for october stacking up to the north, not us. Again, the line is about half moon bay, San Francisco, novato, santa rosa, north south of that is just drizzle. But there will be a lot more once we get past thursday. So this is just for the next couple of days. Bigger systems are on the way for it looks like saturday night maybe again monday night series. Im continuing to move in there. More show than go for majority, but you can you can get that drizzle that just keeps going. Next thing you know, you have a quarter of an inch. You see the systems come right to the bay area and then they fall apart. They dont have any jetstream support or cold air support, but there sure are a lot of clouds on the way through. Next monday night, tuesday. And take a look here from ukiah redding, eureka north. Thats pretty good rain for october. Santa rosa, calif toga. It looks to be about the cut off there.

Im gasia mikaelian. Im andre senior. Thank you for joining us this morning. Today is tuesday day october 10th. And im not sure if it actually rained but we did have some sprinkles and it caused the road to be wet. And of course, we saw some accidents across the bay area. So lets check in with Steve Paulson to see what its going to look like for the rest of the day. Well, we have a we had a lot of drizzle, thats for sure. Here but it looks like thats done for now. But take a look at the clouds continue to roll in here. We get some breaks. I mean, there are some sun out there, but the fog continues to roll in. Theres another band of clouds moving into the north, 50 60s on the temps here. Some sun breaks, but not far away you can find low clouds. And theres your next system. Now its to forecast one north favors a lot of clouds, one south favors more sun. So thats your two for tuesday as we like to say. I think the drizzle is done for now, though. But there could be more to the north by later this afternoon. This evening, 60 to 70s. Most temps this week will stay in the 70s. All right, sal is here. San mateo bridge somewhere else. Lets go to the Richmond Bridge. Steve, the san mateo bridge is improving quickly. The Richmond Bridge still has taken it on the chin because of an earlier deadly crash that happened overnight. At one point, they had the entire bridge closed. But right now on the Richmond Bridge, in fact, if you can see the traffic here, you will see that traffic is going to be slow as you drive through. Its very slow from deep, rich and highway 24 still recovering from a crash earlier. Look at it there. Its backed up from walnut creek and the bay bridge toll plaza is slow. San mateo bridge recovering 832. Lets get back to the headlines. The number of People Killed in the four day israelpalestinian war is expected to rise. 1600 people have died in the fighting so far. Israeli airstrikes continue to hit the gaza strip in retaliation for a surprise attack saturday morning that killed hundreds of israeli civilians. Ktvu ali rasmus been monitoring the latest developments here. Back in studio for an update. Ali garcia, the Israeli Military has blocked all food, electricity, medicine, supplies from entering gaza. The un human rights chief says hes concerned about this siege, exacerbating what he calls an already dire humanitarian crisis in gaza and throughout that region. Lets show you a live picture that were looking at this morning. This is looking at the gaza skyline right now. It is pretty calm, but throughout the morning, we have seen what looks like explosions, guns at the city of gazas port. We did see a boat that was on fire hit by some of these israeli airstrikes that have resumed this morning, four days after the surprise attack by hamas. An israeli general reports that the number of israelis killed in that attack has now risen to more than a thousand people. While airstrikes in gaza have killed 830 people there. Now hamas controls gaza and the palestinian states. It has long been considered a terrorist organization by the us. On saturday, hamas gunmen launched a military invasion of communities and towns in the israeli border. At least 900 people have been killed in israel since saturday, including at least 11 americans. Among the dead, hundreds of people attending an outdoor Music Festival. When that attack happened, the parents of a man originally from berkeley, 23 year old hirsh goldberg, say their son was severely injured in that attack and was later, they believe, taken hostage by hamas gunmen. Terrorists came to the door. They were throwing grenades in and shooting machine guns. And we know that hirschs arm from the elbow down was severed. He tied a tourniquet around and with his shirt and hamas came in after the gunfire settled down and said anyone who can walk, stand up and walk out, we are told that he was completely calm. I think he was probably in shock. And he got up and he walked out with five other people, people he is a smiley, fun loving guy and people of all ages just gravitate towards him. And if you mentioned his name to his friends, his teachers, my friends, our friends, you mentioned his name. And people just smile. An official for the International Red cross says the organization has been in touch with both hamas and israeli officials about getting access to prisoners and hostages. But so far they have been unsuccessful. A joint Statement Released overnight from President Biden and the leaders of france, italy, germany and the United Kingdom acknowledged the atrocities, condemned the violence and vowed to help israel defend itself. It went on to say, quote, all of us recognize the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian People and hamas does not represent those aspirations. And it offers nothing for the Palestinian People other than more terror and bloodshed, end quote. The Biden Administration vowed to send available weapons to israel. And later today, President Biden will address the nation about this war. Andre back to you. All right. Thank you so much, ali. None of this story. There was a gathering in lafayette last night where people showed their support for israel temple. Isaiah hosted the event. There were speakers who mourned the loss of lives and expressed concern for those still being held hostage. I thought about everyone who has lost loved ones and the countless people who have been taken hostage and every person who has been gravely injured, and about the government who we now have to put our faith in, that they will be able to protect the people of israel and the coming days we come together tonight completely brokenhearted and torn apart in anguish. These are dark days. These are dark days. God is weeping with us to let us turn to god for light and for strength. And let us turn to one another. Well, this event ended with a prayer for all those who had been killed. The California State Capitol was lit up in the colors, blue and white, to show californias, quote, unwavering support for israel and its people. The Governors Office says it, quote, unequivocally condemns the attacks by Hamas Terrorists on israel and innocent civilians.

A survey puts the number of homeless in Santa Clara County at more than 10,000. San jose mayor matt mehan wants to declare an official homeless shelter crisis an emergency hoping to fast track housing projects. Now mayor mehan joins us this morning as part of our regular talks with some of the bay areas top leaders. Mayor, thank you for joining us this morning. We appreciate it. Thanks for having me, andre. Good morning. Good morning to you. Before we get to the issue of homelessness, which i know is very important to you, something youve been tackling for some time now, i want to begin with the issue that could directly affect many residents in san jose. Its been almost a month since you unsuccessfully objected to that 14. 5 pay raise for the 4500 city workers. Now, viva kaya. Sj. Its among the services that saw cuts here. Vacant job eliminations as well. Mayor is there anything else that could be affected or cut because of this . Now that weve had a few weeks of breathing room that you can see, look back now and see whats going to be affected Going Forward . Yeah, thanks for checking in on that, andre. We have had to make cuts with this current budget, which was a balanced budget. So weve cut crossing guard rolls, rolls in traffic safety. It you mentioned programing. Some of our park activations and viva care. Weve also had to make cuts to our Office Budgets here at city council. Both the Mayors Office and the council members. So weve seen modest cuts, a couple Million Dollars this year. My real concern is the impact in years two and three of the contract. When the gap grows and were not cutting 2 million, were potentially cutting 20 million worth of services that our residents rely on. Im also worried about the impact on our unfunded pension liabilities. Weve been through this before. Unforeseen tunately these unsustainable raises add another 60 million in unfunded liability cities. That is essentially debt that were pushing off to our kids and grandkids. And i just want City Government to live within its means and to maximize the impact of City Services for our residents. And i was pointing out the trade offs that we have to make because a dollar that we spend in one place is a dollar that we cant spend somewhere else, which means a reduction in services. In this case, unfortunately. And so let me just ask you real quick. So the crossing guard jobs that you mentioned, the it jobs, that is from the 2 million that you had to extract to get these raises that its ballpark. But yes, those those are current roles. This current budget was balanced. We created a budget. The council did by passing raises that by the way, i want to be clear. I supported about 85 of the raises because we could cover them with the current Budget Allocation we had set aside. I also supported doubling parental leave. I want our workers to be well compensated. My dad was in a union for 30 years, so i understand the importance of paying our workforce a fair wage. My concern is when we make commitments that create deficits and then force us to cut services often disproportionately impacting our most vulnerable residents. So yes, those cuts were this current budget. My bigger concern is looking down the road at the following years where those deficits are now projected to be much larger. Yeah, the long term Financial Impact here, something well have to keep an eye on. Mayor thank you for that. Also, another issue here, back to the homelessness issue. Youve been trying to solve here. Vta board voted to approve building housing for the homeless on a plot of land in North San Jose. When could we start seeing that property offering shelter and services for the homeless . Yes next year. So this was a great step forward. We were able to get our our partners over at vta. Thats a board i sit on to agree to allow the city to use a portion on of an empty field in North San Jose near a maintenance yard that vta operates for the 200 tiny homes that the state of california is delivering to san jose at no charge to san jose taxpayers. This is part of our overall strategy of Building Shelter quickly and cost effectively and then requiring that people come indoors. And so we expect to have these new units delivered from the state of california by the end of this calendar year at the latest early next year. And then we will do everything we can to turn them around and have them operating as as quickly as possible. But this will mean a warm, safe, dignified place for 200 people currently living outside in encampments. This is how were going to end the era of encampments. And im thrilled that we were able to secure this land lease to build these tiny homes all right. So vta is reportedly and correct me if im wrong here, there was a report that said its looking into whether a federal requirement to lease a land to the city at market rate can be waived. That could certainly help the citys bottom line, given the Current Situation that youre in, where does that stand . That would help. Were reaching out to our partners in the federal government to ask them to waive that requirement. This is an empty field that has sat empty for decades. Its underutilized public land. I think that all of our public agencies have a role to play in addressing this homelessness crisis. It is a crisis. I know thats the other topic you mentioned. If were going to treat it as such, were going to need every Public Agency to be willing to leverage underutilized land to build this basic, dignified shelter so we can get people off the streets faster and back to that issue you just mentioned, we talked about just a moment ago, the city is also working on a plan that details how it will keep the community safe. Can you share any details of that . Community safety plan that the city plans to put out . Well, my premise, andre, has been that we cant just call this a crisis case or an emergency rhetorically when we run for office, we need to actually act like it. If an earthquake had put a few thousand of our neighbors out on the streets, wed have fema trailers at the county fairgrounds within 72 hours and a safe base shelter for every person whos whos out there on the streets today. We just we have not mustered the political will to actually act as though it were a crisis, a natural disaster. I believe that we can build basic but safe and dignified shelter for every person on the streets today, especially by placing these tiny units on government owned land thats currently sitting empty, thats underutilized. And as we build that safe and dignified shelter, we need to require that our homeless neighbors come indoors and get access to supportive services. Thats a win win for the community, and we can do that with the resources at our disposal. Weve just lacked the political will to scale up that solution. San Jose City Council unanimously approved the creation of san jose power that is said, could save the city 15 to 25. Its in the explorator phase, so very early stages right now. How long could it take to become a reality here for the city . You made the key point there. We are exploring launching our own utility. We currently do power purchasing as a city, but the thing that has us concerned is that we have a housing and jobs. People who want to invest in our city, who are worried about how long its taking to hook up to the grid. So we think that its our responsibility to at least explore creating an alternative. We cant have our Economic Development constrained by p. G. A. And the state of the grid. We have to have a little more control over our own destiny. So were exploring whether or not a City Department can hook people up and electrify new development for jobs and housing faster. If we think we can do it faster and more cost effectively, i suspect the council will want to begin to go down that road and actually provide service ourselves. If we assess the situation and determine that we cant, then well just continue to work with our partners at pge and the cpuc and the state to try to improve the work that theyre already doing. All right. San jose mayor matt mehan, thank you for joining us for our regular chats. We appreciate your insight. A lot going on in the city. So well check in with you next month to see where things are at. We appreciate it. Thanks for having me. All right. 845 here with San Francisco.

The statement expressed sympathy and concern for everyone affected by the attacks. Many people say despite inflation, they still plan to spend at least what they spent last year on gifts.

Pam thank you so much. 851 lets get a final check of the roads right now. The wet roads and accident prone roads that seem like this morning with sal, well, they dried off a little. Andre but still the damage is done. The Richmond Bridge very slow because of an overnight truck accident weve been talking about. And right now, the four left lanes are open, but its been a while and its caused a big delay on 580. Heading out to marin. As you might imagine, 24 has not recovered after a bunch of slow traffic after a crash near the tunnel earlier this morning. And the bay bridge is very slow, really everywhere is slow. This has been one of the slowest commutes. Just kind of a preview of what will happen when it does significantly rain. And hopefully youll be able to have discretion. Even the dumbarton bridge has been slow because people were avoiding the san mateo bridge and thats what happens. 852 lets bring steve back in with todays weather. Thank you, sal. All right. I think the final numbers are in for our overnight drizzle light rain, whatever you want to call it, tilden park, the winner at 0. 23. Almost a quarter of an inch. Mount tamalpais, 19, cazadero 14, Oakland Hills, 14. Sausalito picked up 17 100 and that seems to be about the most.

Sleepy moraga with a. 04. A lot of high clouds are starting to stream in again. We got some breaks and now the clouds are already advancing to forecast. Today, one is to the north, well, to the north its a lot of rain moving. Look at that. Coming in along eureka, arcata, some moderate to heavy rain there and some of the projections are impressive for october. Going over the next week, we will get a lot of these systems coming in. We are just a little bit too far south to really make a big impact yet. 50s, 60s on the temps there will be a lot of cloud cover and occasionally some light rain or drizzle as a series of these systems work their way in over the next seven days. You can see how well get a break thursday and another system rolls in. A lot of clouds. Maybe some light rain friday night, maybe again, as we go into the weekend. Timing always tough. Monday night system looks to be the best of the bunch going into early tuesday. Then maybe well warm up. But it certainly wont be for at least a week. So look at the projections here for ukiah. Eureka and redding. Youre not too shabby there for this time of year for us. Far less. But it does keep the pattern going with a lot of clouds and occasionally some drizzle more clouds to the north , more sun to the south. See i was holding that one for two minutes. Right .
