Reporter the points the fed raising his Interest Rates,. 75, the most aggressive since the early 90s as the fed tries to catch up with runaway inflation, the goal is to bring inflation from 9 down to 2 . Those price heights continue hurting both families and Small Business budgets. So if consumers pull in and do less buying, that contributes to a recession. Recession means fewer jobs and lower wages, and everybody suffers. Thats what im worried about, six months from now, that is my biggest worry. Reporter credit card Interest Rates will likely climb higher along with banks and car loans, with Mortgage Rates nearly doubling in the past year.

The county released low level offenders to prevent covert operates, the mayor says it has created a revolving door for repeat criminals. The county executive, geoff smith, says there is no evidence to back up the mayors claim. We have a system pushing more and more people out to the street after theyve committed repeat offenses and violent offenses. We are working with the courts and the public defender and the da, and anytime there is a release, they all have to agree that this individual is low risk. The mayor says city officials have repeatedly had meetings with the county urging them to change this practice. The county says it is open to more conversations. Back in 60 seconds, the controversy is not over, comedian Dave Chapelle extending his stay in the bay area. Bart claiming high temperatures worked the tracks which caused a train to derail, why is there no policy in place to prevent this type of disaster . Your meteorologist tracking controversy sells tickets and sodas his brand of humor, Dave Chapelle is getting a fifth show in the bay area, Luther Burbank extending his day, as the local Lgbtq Community has been criticizing Dave Chapelle, saying that he promotes hateful rhetoric and endangers the lives of the community. The center released a statement calling the issue complex and saying he goes back to the question of where does censorship begin and end. Dave chapelle will be performing through the weekend. When temperatures rocketed into the triple digits last month, you might remember that 2 cars of bart trains went off the tracks in concorde, explaining that in the past, they had slowed trains to prevent exactly Something Like this happening, but now they said they didnt have a policy in place when the heat wave hit in june and this happened. About a month ago a 10 car bart train traveling 70 Miles Per Hour partly derailed at this concorde overpass behind me. The dashcam video capture the moments right after to create train cars partly left the track on one of the hottest days this summer, thankfully none of the 50 passengers was seriously hurt. Bart blames it on extreme heat, this grainy photo shows how the rail work that day as temperatures topped 102. You can see the damage near the black marker. In the wake of the derailment, barth officials tell us the agency had no formal policy to counter the risk that heat could damage their system, and that surprising considering bart significantly slowed trains for safety during a similar heat wave in 2017. This is something that every rail operator should have a set policy that goes into place under these conditions. They know what the danger is, and we dodged a bullet. We talked to a university of colorado professor and expert on the effects of heat and Climate Change on rail systems about what happened in concorde. To have so few injuries is almost unheard of. So it was a truly fortunate situation that there was not more People Killed in the event. Reporter normally moderate climate zones like the bay area can be particularly vulnerable to steal warping when temperatures spike because the tracks are accustomed to lower temperatures. That might be why during a labor day heat wave in 2017 bart announced it was slowing trains, issuing a statement at the time saying possible though unlikely that there could be some Real Movement and train speeds are being reduced in targeted parts of the system as a precautionary measure to give train operators more time to react to any observed abnormal rail conditions. We asked why the agency did not take the same steps last month, a bart spokesperson responded that no policy was in place at the time of the gene derailment, but one is in place now. That is surprising. Reporter although there is no federal standard, cutting the train speed is common practice worldwide, the only sure way to limit the damage that higherspeed trains can cause to overheated steal. And in a changing climate the problem is here to stay he says. Is is going to keep going and getting worse. Reporter the newly adopted policy will require train speed to be cut in half and future when temperatures rise above 100. Nbc bay area news.
