Overseas. We are, looks like we are, completely start this segment in the summer of 1921 and in that summer, soviet russia is the scene of a catastrophic famine, as george nash mentioned. Millions are threatened with starvation and disease most of them as you will see are situated end and coming on the oval g. A. R. River valley. The soviet government is unable to cope with the disaster on its own, so its forced to allow an appeal to go out for foreign assistance and, at that time, and that day, in the summer of 1921, theres only one man on the planet in position to answer the call and that is the man you see here, herbert over, as chairman of the American Relief organization. As george nash told us, the era is a private Relief Organization, relief agency, but i would say, early, at least for this part of the hoover humanitarian story, we should say its quasiprivate, whoever is, after all the secretary of commerce and that will play a role and the story as it spins out in the next few
For the most part milder this morning and dry. A chance of showers going. The best chance in the morning for the north day and then lingering from noon to 4 00. Temperatures will stay below average. Upper 50s to 60s this morning. Mid 60s at the coast. Low to mid 70s elsewhere. We started off with a few injury crashes. Some of them cleared. One were tracking is a sigalert highway 580. We saw slowing in both directions, right now were picking up green. Southbound 880 slow through oakland because of road work. Heres a live shot of 680 in walnut creek. Southbound looks good out of westbound 4 despite an earlier injury crash eastbound 4 at hillcrest. Bay bridge toll plaza, just a minor wait for some cash paying lanes. Westbound 4 ride, antioch to hercules, 26 minutes. Westbound 80, highway 4 to the maze, 14 minutes. No major problems in the south bay. Northbound 87 looking good to the san jose airport.

This may be blocking lanes, still waiting for chp to get on the scene and confirmed that direction. Its right around grant, just a heads up. Other trouble spots to look out for, if you are traveling on the east shore freeway or plan to, 80 is busy. Westbound 37, with a crash at railroad avenue. That is causing an early backup. Give yourself some extra time there. You might use the bridge instead. This just in, south 880 getting onto the freeway. That we are seeing a backup southbound 880. Breaking news, one person is dead after an Early Morning fire in San Francisco, another is in Critical Condition at a trauma center. This happened in the Mission Terrace neighborhood. Jackie is there with more. After a few hours, firefighters have finally left the scene here, you can see that they taped up the front window, they got up bunch of debris from inside the house, the fire st
Watching my low rider. Now that wouldnt have happened 30 years ago because 30 years ago i would have probably been ticketed or my car would have been towed. You know what im talking about . We have come a long way, low and slow. There is a lot that has been said about whats going on in this country. I just want to thank all of you that came out to the march that we had to protest about children being encaged. I want to thank you because youre standing up to close those camps. I want to thank you because youre standing up to keep families together, because in our culture, the number one thing thats most important to us is family. So the first award is famed after an incredible, amazing woman that was born in 1930, and i just ask somebody if i knew the math right. She is 89 years of age. I am speaking about delores. [cheering and applause] i met delores when i was 12 years old, when mi papa sent me away for the summer and sent me to volunteer for the united farm workers. I had no idea wh
Thegoing to mosety in, on beginning of my own presentation so that people can head in from the break. Great pleasure to be invited here and be part of this event. It is a distinct pleasure, to be surrounded by so many hoovers. [laughter] like we are complete. We start this segment in the summer of 1921, and in that summer soviet russia is the scene of a catastrophic famine. As george nash mentioned earlier. Millions are threatened with starvation and disease. Most of them, i will have a map up, situated in and beyond the volga river valley.
