7 00 this Tuesday Morning, august 22nd. Im gasia mikaelian. And good morning. Im dave clark. Lets talk about our weather. You saw clouds coming in. For sure. As you came in this morning. Steve paulson is right here. A lot coming across from the sierra. Also a little earthquake there. Not everybody felt it. From about pacifica, daly city, parts of the city. Not so much in marin county. There is also low clouds in place. I felt it in San Francisco haze valley at 6 35. A lightly sharp jolt. It looks like if it wasnt on the san andreas, it was on the san gorgonioa fault. Kathy known as the napa valley chick, gorgeous sunrise in napa this morning. After yesterdays foggy, foggy day. Right back into napa county. That is the source of that. That is coming in from east actually east southeast and heading north. Head bay and areas up to the north. Some of that has produced light rain up into lake county. Underneath is the fog bank. Yesterday it never burned off for some up around santa rosa. It did on the peninsula in the south bay. It was a strange pattern yesterday. Over the sierra, continues to be a lot of cloud cover. Just like that, the delta breeze is cranked up and awake. Gusts up to 25. Very quiet this morning. 50s and 60s here. Temperatures similar to yesterday. We will see the fog burn off sooner for some. Might hold on for a little bit. It varies to the north, coming around the low, sending the cloud cover off of the sierra. 80s for those away from the coast. Alex, you have been issue. An issue on the bay bridge. Is that better now. There is a crash unfortunately. So all of the folks trying to get across the toll plaza and across the bay bridge have to get past a hit and run accident. I will give you details in a moment. I want talk about getting over into the area. This will be the ride trying to get out of walnut creek. If youre in that part of the east bay, it is a slow ride on this part of highway 24 in the westbound direction. But it eventually frees up once you get a little bit closer to the tunnel. Now, further west from there, this is a live look at the macarthur maze. You can see that we now have a backup that extend through the mazon to interstate 80 in the westbound direction there. And we are also showing the chp is showing on their maps, they are showing a hit and run crash that is just east of the toll plaza there. So they are investigating. You may see some officers on the side of the road. So that could sort of compound the problems here. A pretty significant backup getting into San Francisco. And finally i will get you a look here at the situation in the south bay. Not much better there. Because we still have showing a crash northbound 101 at oakland road. That is just before the 880 interchange. And you can see a pretty solid backup northbound on 101. And we have several miles of backup in that area. If there is any way to get around that part of the south bay commute, i would suggest maybe choosing an alternate freeway. 7 04 is the time right now. Back to the desk. Thank you, alex. The National Park service may announce today whether or not it will grant a permit for a right wing rally in San Francisco. Two hours from now, east bay leaders will gather and condemn a right wing event in berkeley. Allie rasmus is in berkeley now. A lot of people are worried these two rallies could cause problems. Alley. Al allie. Reporter yes. Youre seeing response from both sides. The leaders who will be meeting here in berkeley at 9 00 are describing it as a way to condemn bigotry in the east bay. They will be talking about a rally that is supposed to happen on sunday in berkeley. You will recall that Berkeley Civic Center park has been the scene of clashes before. In april, fights broke out between people who supported and opposed President Trump. 20 people were arrested that day. 11 people injured. Now there are renewed concerns about the potential for violence on both sides. A right wing group called for a Patriot Prayer rale nissan fran to be held this saturday at chrissy field. They issued a permit to hold the rally. The National Park service was urged to revoke the permit. We remain opposed to the National Park service issuing this permit to the Patriot Prayer group along with their friends. We think it is ill advised. We dont believe theyre ready. Reporter even if a final permit is not granted, there is concern that the right wing group will show autopsy at chrissy crissy field on saturday. They have made every officer to work that available. In the meantime, San Francisco city leaders have planned counter events for saturday to promote peace and tolerance. The first will be held at noon at city hall. The day of the event on saturday, they will have a block party to counter act that right wing rally. Were hoping to learn this morning from berkeley and east bay city leaders if they plan to have similar counter protest events to promote peace and tolerance like they are doing in San Francisco. We hope to get more information from the News Conference that is scheduled at 9 00 a. M. Speaking here at the steps of Berkeley City Hall will be beckys mayor a berkeleys mayor and the congressional representative for berkeley in the east bay, barbara lee.

Police are investigating racist flyers found in an alameda neighborhood over the weekend, just days after a synagogue was vandalized. It included a swastika and a drawing of a muslim woman and there was a message of hate. The neighbor who found them found the flyers on the sidewalk near his home at two different times. He says he doesnt consider himself the target, but called the police because he was alarmed. Alarmed. That symbol, that swastika has such connotations. I mean, it is aligned with nazi ism. It is a truly evil group of people doing truly evil things. Detectives want to know if the flyers are connected to the vandalism at a jewish temple last week. It was on Bay Farm Island early last thursday. An amber alert has issued for a missing 9yearold boy. He is 45 and weighs about 0 pounds. Has brown hair and brown eyes.

We have been paying pakistan billions and billions of dollars. At the same time, they are housing the very terrorists that we are identifying. The president said he would not announce just how many extra troops will be sent to afghanistan and that he would let conditions on the ground guide the strategy and timetable. The reaction to the president s speech has been mixed. Some democrats say they want more details. Most republicans support the president s plans. Democratic House Minority nancy pelosi is hoping to find out more about the plans including an exit strategy. We talked with the dean of uc berkeley dean of Public Policy says the details are important to understand, even if it is an entirely new policy. How many troops .

The 49ers actually owe the city almost 2 million in unpaid parking fees, use of construction funds, and also city staff time. The 49ers say that all of this is a pr stunt and the simply didnt bill 150,000 in expenses. The Team Released this statement. In the end, they wasted over 200,000 in public funds to discover that the city of santa clara failed to bill 150,000 in expenses. The mayor chose to waste 200,000 of public funds with the intent of creating media headlines. That plan has back fired, end quote. This was the 49ers spoke person bob lange. The mayor of santa clara was quick to respond to the statement. That is a nice narrative. But we have the facts of the audit. It was done been a professional Auditing Firm. There are 37 findings that are serious and 37 recommendations. It clearly lays out the amount of money that is owed. So the facts are the facts. And thats what we have to look at.

The study found that 8 of commuters in stockton traveled 90 minutes or more to get to work. 6 of commuters in vallejo have to travel that long. 5 in the San Francisco oakland area. 4 in santa rosa.

Speaking of commutes, alex savidge is watching your commute right now. How do we look. A lot of the super commuters coming in from the valley, from tracy and stockton and even points beyond that. And let me tell you about the ride to the south bay. It has been tough all morning long. We are not showing any signs of improvement here. I was hoping to get the maps up here. I was going to show you a couple crashes on 280. Here we go. In the north bay. Southbound 280, a pair of crashes will really back things up significantly. The first of them is northbound 280 at saratoga. Then just beyond that, you have another crash at lawrence expressway. So a pair of crashes on 280 slowing things down. Northbound 101 very slow as well. So very busy in the south bay this morning. I will give you a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza where we are seeing at least a 20 minute backup. Backed up well through the maze and also a significant backup westbound on 80 from about richmond, trying to get over to the maze itself. And finally here we will give you a live look at the Richmond San Rafael toll plaza where we are seeing a pretty decent slowdown getting up to the toll plaza.

Okay. A few maybe eastern. Thank you for listening. Sure. Any time. Any time. Good morning, everybody. Combination of low clouds. Although it cleared peninsula and south bay. I dont think the sun came out yesterday at all up in santa rosa. If it did, let me know. I didnt see much. And then some areas even out to walnut creek, there was low clouds. That is very rare. Up until noon. After that, though, things calmed down. William our good friend. Good morning. 58 and 90 humidity. No wind. That is true. Although it has picked up in the delta. High clouds looks like rain. Looks like rain. Smells like rain. Where is the rain . Well, its not here yet. It has been in the sierra and the Sacramento Valley and came across yesterday. Had a few sprinkles. Thanks to the cloud cover. And 58 in vallejo. El cerrito, 58. Fog is clearing. Its been a very foggy month. Fogust for many coast and bay.

The higher clouds are streaming off of the sierra going east to west. Yesterday was livermore, pa tiff i cana pacifica south. Also look at tahoe. I mean, its been lit up for some. The Sacramento Valley was going crazy. We have gone from 15 miles per hour, gusts to 25 and now back down to 12. It will be warmer today because of the fact that we wont have the low clouds like yesterday. San jose is at 65. 64 for campbell. Morgan hill is at 61. Much cooler santa cruz mountains. We will see some clearing again. Fog really didnt even fill in for some on the santa cruz coast today. I think they will clear up quicker. The cloud cover streaming across into lake county. I think youre set up for a better opportunity for not just clouds but also rain. Look at the moisture across from utah into nevada and the Sierra Nevada because of the low right there. It looks like it will eject out heading into thursday. Then temperatures will warm up on the weekend. 60s to 90s. Fog and then sun for those closer to the bay. Less fog on the peninsula and the south bay. That burned off sooner yesterday. And it will happen again today. Popped up. You get that sun.

The Solar Eclipse, while most of us were down here looking up at the eclipse, the crew on the International Space station had some of the best seats for the show. The six of them were looking down as they saw the moons shadow over the united states. The shadow is in the middle of your screen. The view had some of the crew members surprised and all were feeling lucky to see it from above. Just a few hundred years ago, human beings wouldnt have known that the eclipse was coming. Youre looking up and the sun is disappearing. And what are the thoughts for all of human existence where everybody is looking up saying the gods must be angry at us. Now we have the ability to not only know it is coming but people travel to be under the umbra and make it an event, a celestial event. For us to be able to witness it from above was really special. It represented how far we have come with the technology that we have. Were on the International Space station. At one point photographers watched the International Space station pass the sun. It happened in banner, wyoming. Ktvu viewers also were able to see the eclipse from 35,000 feet in the air. Alaska airlines arranged a special flight giving passengers a unique view.

A group of elected leaders in the east bay will hold a press conference to announce a rally by a right wing group. They are concerned that they want to stir up trouble. Allie rasmus has more on what the elected leaders plan to say. Allie. Reporter yeah. Leaders at just about every level of government here in berkeley from the mayor to state senators and barbara lee, they will be gathering on the steps of city hall for the News Conference that they are holding to condemn bigotry and racism in the east bay. They will be talking about the right wing group that has planned a rally this sunday. A spokesperson for the mayor says the mayor will be announcing a city Wide Campaign called united against hate and promoting alternative civic events for people and families to take part in the day of sundays rally. That will be located away from the downtown area. Some of those alternate events include workshops and Civil Liberties and rights. The plan is to have them away from the downtown area and away from the right wing rally happening at civic center park. I want to bring in actually the spokeswoman for the mayor. Karina, you just showed up and are get being ready for the News Conference that will happen an hour from now. What are some of the alternative events that the mayor will be talking about that you hope that people take part in away from the rally . We will still working out the details. Some of these will include civil rights trainings and teachins. There will be some performances. And it is mostly organized by Community Partners that are trying to create a Family Friendly event for maybe people who dont feel so comfortable going to downtown or, you know, afraid of since the chance of violence is real. We are working out the details. I think it will be great offerings for people. It is an opportunity to channel concerns about maybe some of the message thats the right wing groups will be putting forth. Channel that in an area away from potential conflict. Exactly. We understand that people are concerned. Were concerned. What we have seen around the country in recent months, especially in the last couple of weeks, is honestly very scary. And we havent seen anything of that level in berkeley. But we have seen violence here. We have seen these people who come here, who claim that theyre just about freedom of speech that is being rush tailed. The Mayors Office does not agree. We think this is just a provocation and what we have seen is a lot of people come in who just want to commit violence. Reporter the problems in the past youre referring to back in april, there were violent conflicts between a group who initially came out to support President Trump and then other people who came to oppose it. And then things got out of hand. Yes. There have been i think at least four other rallies this year alone. And the last one was peaceful. But there has been violence in the past. Were trying to avoid that. Reporter thank you, karina, spokesperson for the mayor. The News Conference with the mayor and state senator Nancy Skinner and barbara lee will be held from the steps of city hall an hour from now. We will bring it to you live during the 9.

It is pretty busy, pretty clear that summer break is winding down for a lot of folks. Everybody heading back to work. The roadways have been jam packed. Let me tell you about the commute in marin county. Southbound 101 is slow coming there novato. There is a crash at highway 37 that has backed things up. If you can make it through that little mess right there, once you get a little further south, let me somehow what the Golden Gate Bridge looks like. There you can see that headed south across the bridge itself into San Francisco, things are moving along pretty nicely here. Not too bad there. Now, finally let me show you what it looks like trying to make your way into the east from the east bay into San Francisco. This has been a tough commute all throughout the morning. A 20 to 25minute backup at the toll plaza. Not much better westbound on 80 from richmond down to berkeley. You will find slow traffic this morning trying to get into the city. 8 19 is the time. Here is steve talking about a great start to the day. Going to burn off quickly. For some it already has. Okay. Down towards the santa cruz coast. For some around san jose, some of that will lift soon, if it hasnt already. Fog never cleared for some yesterday over to calistoga. Avenue of the sierra is a lot of thunderstorm activity. The result for us is clouds and rain. There has been some up into lake county. Around east bay and napa and lake county and mendocino county. Yesterday and last night it was focused on areas to the south. Even though the fog cleared out much sooner than for others. You see good thunderstorm activity. A lot of that heading north of lake county. There is enough that we will put it in. Over parts of solano and napa county. That is the focus today. 50sand 60s on the temps. 60 in petaluma and novato. Windsor is close at 58. On the peninsula, 60. 64 already redwood city. Over to fremont and union city, low 60s. And moss beach is already 61. 62 in montera. Already eroding for some. It has filled in for others. A sooner burnoff for some that had the fog yesterday but not today. 54 up in truckee. 61 down in monterey. Thunderstorm activity was going bonkers yesterday. It continues to filter in off of the low off of Southern California. There are possibilities today. I would say lake county, napa, possibility of an isolated shower or two. The moisture streaming around that low. As long as the low is here, it will be here for a day or two. We have a pattern where were stuck. But it has disrupted the fog bank for some, not all. You get some of that cloud cover and it might be on the muggy side for a few. Temperatures will bump up for some that were held in check by the fog. Temperatures have been a little below average for the fall. They will go above average by the end of the weekend. Thanks, steve. You bet. Brandnew to the south bay but already sparking controversy. Complaints around apples new campus. Ams new space ship campus wont be fully operational until next year but already sparking controversy near neighbors. Neighbors say frustration has been mounting since they began construction. They are already seeing an increase in traffic and worry it will only get worse when the 12,000 employees are all moved into the building. While i appreciate apple and i like their products, i just feel like maybe a residential area wasnt the best place to put a large office complex. The city of sunnyvale says it is working with apple and the city of cupertino to review a baseline traffic studdie and monitor the data for five year. Apple is gives the city money to address traffic and parking concerns. Tonight the Palo Alto School board will discuss a proposal to set aside more money to pay for Legal Services to investigate numerous reports of Sexual Misconduct involving students and staff.

Coming up, we will talk about the commute here in the south bay. We will tell you how things are looking here on the san mateo bridge. Spoiler alert, not looking very good. Already clearing taking place to the south and the east. Much sooner than yesterday. And a lot of clouds coming off of the sierra. Also east and north. More on that coming up. Food. Water. Internet. We need it to live. But what we dont need are surprises, like extra monthly fees. I see you, fee, played by legendary actress anjelica huston. You got me, mark. We just want fast internet for one, simple rate. For all the streaming and the shopping and the newsing, but most of all. For the this. Internet for one everyday simple price and no extra monthly fees. The time is 8 29. Welcome back to mornings on 2 this Tuesday Morning, august 22nd. Im gasia mikaelian. And good morning. Im mike mibach. Lets get you right over to steve. Burnoff already underway. For some. For some. Nice segue. How did you know that i was going to focus on that. I listened to your tease. Some areas yesterday, i mean, didnt even burn off until noon. Some didnt burn off until 2 00. Santa rosa, not at all. Speaking of, on the santa cruz coast and mountains yesterday at this time they were socked up to the summit. It is circling the wagons. It is trying but it will retreat quick here. Morgan hill and gilroy and san jose which had an early burn off yesterday. That helped some by 10 00 from san jose up to sfo. The fog retreating a bit. The cloud cover streaming in from the sierra will paint partly to mostly cloudy skies. Y skies. Pretty good thunderstorms coming in off of the northern Sacramento Valley. Fog is there. Some of that will retreat sooner. More holes in it today. 56 half moon bay. Santa rosa 69. 66 in san jose. San jose, by the way, has been running warmer than morgan hill and gilroy the last couple of days. I think today will be just as close. Up in the sierra, pretty good thunderstorms in the Sacramento Valley and lake county things are beginning to pick up there. Reports of light rain. The low is still hanging around for another day or two. It will kick out and High Pressure will come in. Alex has been busy, busy, busy. Any better. Yeah. It hasnt necessarily been that weve had an unusually high number of crashes. Its just been a lot more people on the roads. It is very clear, summer break has come to an end. Folks are heading back to work and back to school. We know this is the case. When you see the car, the traffic on the roadways, you know it is true. Im going to take you outside and show you this is a live look at the san mateo bridge. And we are seeing very slow traffic westbound all the way across the span. And it is because of an earlier crash that was westbound on highway 92 in the foster city area. It looks like chp has it out of the way. It is out of the lanes. Really the damage is done here and a lot of folks sitting in this mess as they try to get over towards the peninsula. Lets go to the east bay now. And i will show you a live look at some slow traffic, especially northbound coming up past oracle arena on 880. Slow from 238 into the downtown oakland area this morning. As i put up the maps here, i will show you that 880 is a tough ride. 580, if youre trying to use 580 westbound, it is not much better in terms of an option. Very slow traffic from san leandro west all the way over to the downtown oakland area. And finally here, i will also show you that we still have a very slow commute on westbound highway 4 coming up out of the pittsburgh bay point area into concord. 8 32 is the time. Mike, back over to you. Thank you, alex. The nfls regular season is about to get underway. The 49ers may have a different battle off the field this season. Rob malcolm is joining us live from santa clara. This is about a recent audit done. Reporter yeah. Thats right. Its been a bitter relationship since levis stadium was built three years ago between the 49ers and the city. According to the audit released yesterday, the 49ers owe them about 115,000. And it goes much deeper than that. They are looking for transparency and to fix what they called a broken relationship. So here is a breakdown. The city is looking to be reimbursed for the staffing of police and firefighters during stadium event. That bill as i said could be higher to the mayor, lisa gillmor. The 49ers owed the city 2 million in unpaid parking fees, and city staff time. The 49ers say this is a pr stunt to make the headlines and the city simply failed to bill 115,000 in expenses. And we talked with the mayor this morning and she broke down the numbers. About a million eight and a half. There is about 900,000 that should be used to pay down the debt service. That has to be repaid. Over 700,000 is owed because the 49ers used our golf course for parking. And the third year was not paid. That has to be repaid. During the audit period, there were 230,000 in unreimbursed staff costs during the audit period. After that, the audit period, it looks like about 100,000 was repaid. So we will have to verify how that was repaid to make sure it was done properly. Reporter and back here live, a beautiful stadium but not without his headaches. They stand by the findings in the audit which which the way cost the city 200 which, by the way, cost the city 200,000. They say if the 49ers do not produce the documents needed, they will pursue legal action. Thank you, rob.

Turner is the former Stanford University athlete who served three months in jail after being convicted of sexually assaulting a woman three years ago. Jessie is joining us live in san jose with more on the story. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Right now attorneys representing the attorney general are waiting in the hallway inside of the old courthouse here in san jose getting ready to file papers that will try to block the judges lawsuit against the committee trying to remove him from office. Im joined by Michelle Dauber who heads the effort to remove the judge. From what i understand, this is maybe a little bit of a slowdown tactic. It could have adverse effects. Yes . Yes. Absolutely. Judge persky hired Donald Trumps Arizona State chair to run his campaign. Everything that you need to know good b. Judge perskys attitude against women and Sexual Assault is summed up in the fact that he is working with the trump campaign. This is a classic move out of the trump play book to file a frivolous lawsuit to zap resources and it wont work. You are trying to raise 96,000 signatures in Santa Clara Valley to have him removed from the ben how does the paperwork impact that . As i said, judge persky filed a frivolous lawsuit after the county approved our petition last week. Right now the attorney general, the secretary of state, the register tar of voter registrar of voters agree with us and think that the signature drive should go forward. We have the right under the First Amendment to collect the signatures. This injunction that the judge has obtained is a violation of our First Amendment rights. It is an insult to the voters of the county. If the injunction is not upheld, the signature collection moves forward. Yes . Absolutely. If it is upheld,. Then were going to the appeals court. Judge persky wants to tie us in court and prevent us from collecting signatures. He knows he will not win this election if it goes to the voters. Speaking of tying you up in court, from what i understand, the judges in Santa Clara County has rescued themselves from hearing the case. Once the paperwork is filed, which judge would it go before. Yes, the judges in Santa Clara County have all properly recused themselves because they are judge perskys coworkers. So that has created additional complications. And, you know, this is a classic trump move, to go to court, to file frivolous lawsuits, to try to tie up the other side in paperwork. Its not going to work. We are going to go forward. Eventually the signature drive will proceed. I will tell you something, since he filed his lawsuit, we have an outpouring of money ands have.
