and it continues to heat up as we reach into the upper 90s here. it's going to be a big change n the esterday, and it gets even microclimate forecast coming up in a few minutes. and mike gives us a look at the early morning commute. kari, we'll go past your 90 geographically speaking. the big view shows what you would expect lighter traffic except for right at the altamont and grant line road things loosen up once again but the build is on there. not a build for the north bay but coming down to martinez across the carquinez bridge west 80 at american canyon there are reports of boxes in the roadway right now. your left two lanes may be a factor. so far no slowing and no traffic break. the roadways are light in construction. back to you. >> all right, thanks, mike. breaking overnight in vallejo, authorities shot at someone. this is after reports of looting at walgreens and "today in the bay's" bob redell is live there at the scene. so, bob, do we know yet if -- when the officers opened fire, did they hit anyone? >> reporter: that part is not clear yet, marcus. we do believe the person who was looting this walgreens here at redwood and broadway in vallejo was confronted by this police officer. the suspect then tried to ram -- or actually not tried to but rammed the officer's unmarked vehicle. not clear if the officer was hurt during that. we do know the officer according to pd did open fire at the suspect. the suspect sped off. there was a chase. the suspect was caught and placed in an ambulance in rodeo. you can see at pacific avenue and san pablo avenue. it's not clear if that person was hit by the police gunshots or hurt in some other manner. their condition is unknown. now just down the street from this walgreens, this was a few hours ago, law enforcement chased two other looting suspects, hit speeds of 100 miles an hour, went north towards american canyon, back through vallejo. south into coco county. the suspects overturned a couple miles west of the coming skyway. both men are in custody. they broke into a store here that sells ball caps and other sporting apparel. this happened right in front of a security guard who was patrolling the strip mall where the store is located. >> they didn't care that we were here. stuff started happening and they went about their business. they didn't feel threatened at all. jay chased them off, got real close to them. >> superhero. >> reporter: he's your buddy. law enforcement arrested three other people here in vallejo. they smashed the front door of the grocery store. it appears they were trying to make off with a case of bud light when they were caught. vallejo does have a curfew or did, i should say, in effect from 8:00 last night until 5:00 this morning. we've only seen a couple instances of looting. vallejo police tell us they have reports of dozens of riot-related criminal activity. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> certainly an eventful night. thank you. overnight curfews just wrapping up for some of the dozen or so bay area cities that have them in place. most run from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. and all extended at least through the end of this week. last night police in oakland and san francisco made good on promises to crack down on anyone violating that order. sfpd arrested protesters outside of the city hall last night. no word on the exact number this morning. meanwhile oakland police arrested 100 people, 80, for curfew and similar violations. overnight thousands of demonstrators gathered for a peaceful protest in downtown portland and, meanwhile, most protests were peaceful mostly in new york city but there were still some reports of looting. vandals smashed the windows of some stores there and businesses were cleaned out as well because of that looting. protesters in providence, rhode island, also set fires. president trump is now threatening to call in the military. of course that brings a lot of pushback. chris pollone joins us live with that part of the story. >> reporter: kris, and that's not all that has democrats and some members of the clergy criticizing the president's actions this morning. they say federal police and national guard troops used tear gas and rubber bullets on peaceful protesters just so the president could hold a photo-op across from the white house. federal officers and national guard troops suddenly moved on peaceful protesters hitting them with flash grenades and tear gas while shooting rubber bullets. then moments later another extraordinary scene. the president, cabinet members and episcopal church that had been vandalized the night before. early this morning a twitter account posted a campaign-style video of the visit showing mr. trump holding a bible in front of st. john's church. the two top democrats in congress called the president's actions cowardly, weak, and dangerous. >> the president just used a bible and sacred text and one of the churches of my diocese without permission as a backdrop for a message. >> reporter: it happened moments after mr. trump delivered his first formal statement following the death of george floyd a week ago. >> i am your president of law and order and an ally of all peaceful protesters. >> warning he'll invoke the insurrection act. >> if a city or state refuses to take the actions necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them. >> reporter: federal military police are en route to washington, d.c., as the capital emerges from the fourth straight night of protests. chris poe lean, nbc. as the nation grapples with how to end the unrest and reform law enforcement, san francisco leaders are already considering changes. supervisors plan to look at sfpd's hiring process. sharon katsuda is live at city hall. sharon, i know this was all prompted by those protests. >> reporter: that's right. i was here yesterday where they had a peaceful kneel-in for george floyd. a resident said there needs to be change through community leaders. supervisor walton says holding officers accountable when they break the rules will lead to change and is offering a resolution today urging the board to support legislation preventing sfpd from hiring officers from other departments with a record of excessive force. actor jamie foxx was here yesterday and echoed the same concerns. >> fight for incarcerations and prosecution when our people are killed by law enforcement. >> there has to be a deterrent. if that man can be handcuffed and that man can sit on that man's neck for that long and feel comfortable it, that means he's not afraid of what's going to happen. we have to change the language. >> reporter: foxx also had a message for his hollywood friends. he said it's not enough to tweet or text. you've got to get out here. a board committee yesterday also voted 2-1 against mayor london breed's two appointments saying given the recent developments showing outrage within the community they need to appoint more people who are from the community and know how to make systemic change. the d.a. is pushing for reform, so this is all in reaction to what's going on throughout the nation and here at home. back to you. across our digital platforms we have complete coverage of the protests and where we go from here to affect change. you can always go to nbcbayarea.com for those latest updates. turning now to our pandemic coverage and the upcoming weekend that could feel more weekendish because of the new health order allows for outdoor dining. maybe a date night. it allows for in-store retail and all manufacturing to continue. outdoor activities of 20 people or less and child care camps and daycare up to 12 children. nail and hair salons still not allowed to reopen under the new health order. regulars at one south bay restaurant are welcoming the changes. >> i'm ready. i'm past ready. just sitting out there and relaxing. >> everybody is waiting for that and they'll be very happy to come and enjoy the patio. >> a supervisor says he expects more restrictions will be lifted after another two weeks if the numbers remain flat. san francisco is trying to make it easier for renters just trying to make it in the bay. supervisors are holding an emergency vote to boost renter protections. it includes banning residential hotels from evicting tenants for not paying rent during the pandemic or even banning landlords from imposing lateoar relief fund to help cover rent payments. >> 5:11 this morning. getting started with this tuesday. meteorologist kari hall has been keeping track of the forecast for us. hopefully we get a repeat. >> it was not bad. >> turning up a little bit today more? >> yeah. it's going to be much hotter today especially for our inland valleys as we wake up and take a look at this beautiful sun rise over the south bay right now. we are starting out warmer. we're in the 60s to start and as we go through the day the upper 80s as we see our high temperatures hit in the mid-90s today in the south bay. some parts will reach into the upper 90s and the north bay today in napa we're looking at high of 96. mike has a look at the morning commute. we're looking at what we expect to see, typical pattern, a little build out of the altamont. a little bit of slowing through hayward as well down to 92. nothing dramatic. american canyon, the debris cleared. the bay bridge, a little blip. a healthy volume of traffic. just no problems. heading down to the golden gate bridge. back to you. thank you very much, mike. an emotional plea from the mayor of los angeles. but the rage must not consume us. still ahead at 5:25, what the mayor of los angeles is asking everyone to do and the new actions in l.a. to keep the protests peaceful. twitter and opening the markets from space ahead in business. plus, singer sierra posts a heartfelt message to her son about his future in

temperatures heating up fast today. before you know it we'll be in the upper 80s heading to the upper 90s today. i'll talk more about this and where we could hit triple digits coming up. you're looking at the sun rise and i'm looking at the wrong direction, westward, at the san mateo bridge. the commute is building toward the peninsula side. no problems here, a little slowing get to go this bridge and how things are shaping up this morning coming up. and good morning and a very happy tuesday to you. twitter has masked the tweet of another politician, matt getz of florida. could the american government hunt them down like we do terrorists overseas? that was too much for twitter which put the gray mask over the tweet. you recall twitter put masks over the president's tweets about when the looting starts, the shooting starts. some are pointing out twitter seems to be inconsistent with policies allowing others to call for violence as not masking those. few people seem to notice but president trump actually cross posts his tweets over to facebook and facebook let the shooting and looting post stand, that led a number of facebook employees and execs to hold a walkout, a virtual walkout because they're working from home because of the pandemic. facebook's mark zuckerberg talked with civil rights activists and leaders and those leaders say they walked away disappointed. one person wrote, civil rights leaders went into a call with mark zuckerberg and sheryl sandberg with low expectations, and they were not disappointed. the astronauts will ring the opening bell on the nasdaq today to celebrate the first-ever commercial crew launch. looks like a really strong day for stocks even as part of america burns and much of it shelters from that pandemic. i've talked in the past about how luxury services are the first to go in a recession when your budget is cut, the first thing you will get rid of is, say, dry cleaning delivery. stitch fix says it will cut employees, about 1,800 of them. correction, 1,400 of them, in california. marcus and laura, they said they would hire in other cities, lower cost cities like austin. i think, again, this is what we're seeing of this idea if you can work from home, people will leave the bay area, go to other places less crowded, less expensive and get hired there. >> if you're going to work from home you don't need a new outfit every day. you can wear the same yoga pants. >> sweatpants, yeah. >> talking about moving away and working from home. >> i don't need a stylist for that. essential workers are exempt from many of the curfew orders that we have in place in many of our communities around the bay area. if you are an essential worker and you use ride share to get to work you might need to make other plans. lyft sent a message to drivers saying no ride requests will be allowed during the curfew. uber is suspending service in oakland and san francisco between curfew hours with the s. by the way, your dinner might be affected, too, because doordash is putting a pause on operations during those curfew hours. trending this morning, grammy winning assume star sierra wrote a song for her son, posted it on social media, and hopes it will generate change and change the way we see young, black men in america. >> sierra told her son that she's keeping her faith and she hopes that change will come when he's older. she wrote enough is enough, i'm praying for unity. i'm praying for powers that be to unite and decide that it's time for a change. ciara's son just 6 years old. they also have a daughter, a little younger, and are expecting another son this summer. that's one had in many households. i remember having that conversation with my grandfather before i was 12. and i remember at 12:00 my aunt showed me a video, a series called -- i forget the name of it right now, just slipped my mind right now, but -- "eyes on the prize." >> at 12 did it click for you, or did it take a while? >> i understood because my grandfather -- >> you probably already felt it, though? >> i felt it in a sense, but, i mean, i'm still a child at that time. then you hear the stories of what may happen. when i got my license, conversations had in my home about what to happen if you're pulled over. those are realities that i still hold today at 40. and i have a lot of friends who are having those conversations with their kids. we're going to have that conversation here on "today in the bay" later this week. stick around for that. it is a hard conversation for parents to have. >> thank you. >> but we will have that conversation. >> especially when you have children who maybe are fortunate they haven't experienced it firsthand, so, why would anybody treat anybody different and don't realize it. >> kris, that's the question a lot of people ask, why? my friend has a nephew in college and he said, uncle tim, why don't they like us? that's a hard reality. >> it doesn't make any sense. i'm glad we're having the conversation. >> as a mother of an 8-year-old, yeah, we're starting to think about those things and, you know, you have to plan early. it's something that's been long-standing in our community and it's really hard to even now have to have those conversations and, unfortunately, we have it in our minds that things aren't just going to change. we have to prepare for it. >> they have to. they have to change. >> right. >> switching gears. >> let's move on to weather. let's talk about this heat and we're going to have some temperatures today that reach near record highs for this afternoon. our temperatures ramping up and inland will reach up to 90 degrees today. for san rafael the record is 108 degrees. as we look at other numbers that will not set a record today but tomorrow may have a chance. in concord a record was set a couple years ago in 2018. i think we'll reach the 98 degree high. as we look at our inland areas up to 98 there as well as 96 in livermore. 96 today in napa. temperatures are going to spike tomorrow. it doesn't last that long. showers along with cooler air and that rain stays just to our north. we'll have to watch and see if the rain makes it to the north bay. temperatures are all over the place. we'rehe peak tomorrow and then starting to cool off as we head to the weekend. we'll have more coming up for you after this break. mrs. walker. michael vasquez! come over here. i've heard such good things about you, your company. well, i wouldn't have done any of it without you. without this place. this is for you. michael, you didn't have to... and, we're going to need some help with the rest. you've worked so hard to achieve so much. perhaps it's time to partner with someone who knows you and your business well enough to understand what your wealth is really for. we've seen a lot of images of the protests, most of them largely peaceful. huge groups of people. of course in some cases those peaceful protests have given way to vandalism and looting. in san francisco new measures to stop that from happening. the city now called in hundreds of national guard members to protect local businesses which has not happened since the rodney king riots back in 1992. mayor eric garcetti and the police chief both say it's to allow police officers to focus on keeping the streets safe. l.a.'s chief also landed in hot water when he tried to lay some of the blame for george floyd's death on the looters. a short time later he clarified his comments and said suggesting that the action of looters do not serve the enormity of floyd's death. we've been seeing a lot of touching moments on camera between people showing support during the nationwide protest. in an "l.a. times" report, a reporter there took this video of an lapd officer taking a knee it protesters in hollywood. we saw a similar situation in oakland. we stand together n. shreveport, an officer embracing a crying protesters. a young black man. it's good to see. >> i love seeing those. next, top stories on "today in the bay," a powerful conversation with two moms who both lost their sons to violence. and breaking news, a

"today in the bay" starts right now. and we continue since we started at 4:30 this morning bringing you the news of the day. thanks so much for joining us on this tuesday morning. i'm marcus washington. and i'm kris sanchez in for laura garcia. if you like roller coaster rides you're going to like this forecast. we can't go to great america but, kari, you're up and down. it would be nice, though, to go to great america and go to the water park when it's this hot but, yes, that's off limits right now and so we are going to have this hot weather as we start out on this tuesday morning. we're getting ready for it with a clear sun rise. look at our high temperatures for today. we'll start to feel a little bit in san francisco, but these inland areas is where that heat will ramp up the most. we're heading into the upper 90s today and tomorrow there may be some triple digits. a weekend cooldown comes our way in a few minutes but, mike, you've been tracking the commute. what's the update for drivers about to head out the door? it's building on our normal schedule meaning prequarantine pattern, the altamont pass. things are looking good. san jose does not have the first burst yet. i expect 101 to show slowing around 680 coming up soon. we are looking at west 580, west 84 through livermore and pleasanton and also southbound 880 as folks head down through hayward and out of san leandro. the areas we expect to show the first slowing. it's 5:32 right now. we are seeing that build a little bit earlier. no problem at the bay bridge. we'll take a look coming up because yesterday the metering lights were turned on before 6:15. back to you. >> thanks, mike. breaking overnight for you a dangerous night in vallejo as authorities tried to chase down a suspect thought to be looting, and speeds reached more than 100 miles an hour. in another case officers opened fire. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live outside of the walgreens with details on that police shooting. bob? >> reporter: yes. this is where that officer opened fire. you can see behind me vallejo police still out here investigating. this took place at a walgreens here. you can see a lot of tmarkers o the ground. could be bullet casings, it could be things looted, it could be debris. that part is not clear. but we do believe that someone was looting around 12:30 this morning when they were con fronted by police. they rammed the officer's unmarked vehicle. not clear if the officer was hurt. they shot at the suspect. the suspect sped off. there was a chase. you can see the suspect was caught and placed in an ambulance. in the city of rodeo not clear if that person was hit by the police gunshots at the walgreens or if they were hurt in some other manner. their condition is unknown. now just down the street from us here in vallejo, law enforcement chased two other looting suspects. this was a few hours ago. hit speeds of 100 miles an hour, went north towards american canyon then back through vallejo, south into contra costa county. the suspects overturned on westbound 94. both men are in custody. they had broken into a store that sells ball caps and other sporting apparel. this happened right in front of the security guards who were patrolling that strip mall where the store is located. >> they didn't care that we were here. stuff started happening and they went about their business. they didn't feel threatened at all. until jay showed up. he got real close to them. >> i ain't a superhero. >> reporter: he's your buddy. and here is another instance of looting. law enforcement arrested three people breaking into the safeway here in the city. they smashed the front doors of the grocery store. it appears they were trying to make off with a case of bud light when they were caught. reporting live in vallejo, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. 5:35 right now. following breaking news where one police officer was shot during a protest near the strip. police say someone fired at the officer in the midst of a large protest. protesters were throwing rocks and other things at officers before the shooting as well. police are also investigating a separate officer involved shooting at a nearby courthouse. in that case the suspect died. curfews across more than a dozen bay area cities just wrapping up for the most part throughout the bay area. and i can tell you that most of them expired within this hour. all bay area major cities have one in place right now and many of those curfews are already extended through at least the rest of the week. authorities in alameda county arrested more than 100 people last night after the curfew took effect. about 80 of those arrests happened in oakland where nobody is supposed to be assembling past 8:00 at night. most of the people arrested were gathered downtown near broadway and 14th. oakland police say some did try to assault officers when they were told it was past curfew. >> after 8:00 p.m. officers were having rocks and bottles thrown at them. assaults against officers. we announced multiple times an unlawful assembly. >> the number of arrests represents just a small fraction of the number of people protesting yesterday in oakland, and you can see from the pictures the crowd is estimated to have been about 15,000 people. the group ended up outside oakland's city hall and from there a splinter group headed to police headquarters only to be driven back by flash bangs and tear gas. in the south bay damage from looters still adding up right now and still a lot of cleanup to go. "today in the bay's" thom jensen is live in san jose. i know we're already hearing leaders in san jose may be ready to declare a state of emergency. >> reporter: that state of emergency, good morning, marcus, was put into place on sunday could be extended or lifted later on today by city councilmembers deciding whether or not to keep this curfew in place, this overnight curfew, after all the damage here. a lot more than just a distraction although it is a distraction from the real meaning of the protest exposing police brutality and racism. the city and county of santa clara decided to declare a state of emergency. they said there would be an overnight curfew in place until further notice. city council here in san jose will decide whether to keep the 8:30 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. curfew in place for at least a full seven days. some protesters saying they understand the need for the rules to end the violence but others say it stops them from exercising free speech and assembly. >> this curfew is to keep people from fighting for their rights. that's it. we have a right as americans to protest. >> would i like it to be seven days? no. >> reporter: it will be up to the city council to determine if curfew will as they do later on today, we're hearing about contra costa county at 9:30 this morning deciding whether also to extend curfews for at least a week. once again that decision coming up at 9:30 this morning. we're live in san jose, thom jensen, "today in the bay." across our digital platforms we have complete coverage of all the protests around the bay area but, also, we have coverage of where we go from here to affect change. you can always go to nbcbayarea.com for the latest updates. san jose leaders may be ready to require masks in all public settings. the council scheduled to vote on that proposal. currently a oy required if you expect to be within six futside a business or office. the council is also considering amending the pandemic relief fund and providing additional eviction protection for renters. 5:39 for you this morning, and it is takeout tuesday which in this case is a recipe to do something good for food banks. >> yes, so if you needed a push to do takeout, be restaurants have takeout for good. donating 15% to 25% of their proceeds to food charities. check nbcbayarea.com for a list of participating businesses. kari, we just got out of kitchen duty. mike, you're the cook at home, too. >> i agree. definitely would love to participate in that takeout tuesday. let's get a look at what's going on in our forecast today, too hot to cook inside. you don't want to turn on the oven today because we're going to see those high temperatures reaching into the 90s this afternoon. in fact, some of us may set some records. looking closely at that number in concord where we may set a new record for today and then the bad news it's not even the hottest day. it will be even hotter tomorrow, but i also have good news in the forecast because we will have a cooldown coming our way by this weekend. i'll talk about that coming up in a few minutes and, mike, you give us a look at how it's going for the morning commute. we had a pretty good build as far as the altamont goes. look at your maps, slowing of the altamont, slowing for 84 and for hayward coming down to the san mateo bridge but then just past that where we have a new crash and vehicles, i'm told, are in the fast lane as well as your middle lane and there are folks that are squeezing between all of those causing slowing. we'll track that. a live look does not show much of a backup. we do have a sizable amount coming through. back to you. thank you, mike. a city in need of healing still ahead on "today in the bay," the growing memorial in minneapolis at the site where george floyd died. the message his brother is sharing with us and the rest of the nation this morning. plus, all of this happening amidst the backdrop of the 2020 election. joe biden now weighing in on what's needed. his message to mayors from around the nation. president trump criticized by one of the top names in american religion after taking a photo-op outside a church. ♪ a message of equality being shared through music and the action to push for change. z3wvnz z1s6z y3wvny y1s6y we are destined to do something meaningful. what do you think a private, christian, education looks like? gcu offers over 175 high quality online programs. find your purpose at grand canyon university. visit gcu.edu. right now at 5:44 we head to concord for a look at our temperature trend this morning. we are going to see our mornings starting out with some upper 50s and low 60s and then we'll make it into the upper 80s as we head toward noon. a hot day ahead. i'll talk more about that coming up in the forecast. and, kari, i'm looking ahead to the metering lights at the bay bridge but they're not there yet. things are calm but building as far as that volume. in the south bay self-metering going on because of the traffic volume, 101 northbound, we have been calling this the first burst. this is the burst, i think right now. the new normal. coming up back to breaking news this morning and the response to george floyd's death. in minneapolis a memorial is growing at that site where he died at the hands of an officer. flowers, post eers and artwork where he was pinned to the ground with an officer's knee pinned to his neck. his brother called for peace. >> my family is a peaceful family. my family is god fearing. yeah, we're upset, but we're not going to take it. >> terrence floyd's visit came the same day an independent autopsy report came out indicating his brother george died from asphyxiation. the report differs from the official conclusion made by the coroner. later on the "today" show this morning the floyd family's attorney will speak about the just released independent medical examiner report coming up right after "today in the bay" at 7:00. well, in the wake of george floyd's death two mothers, two mothers of black sons, are speaking out about their own sons who died in very high-profile police killings. the mother of eric garner and stephon clark say they are still fighting for justice for their sons and all black men in this country. like george floyd's death cameras captured their final moments during altercations with police. each case, you'll remember, sparked national outrage but then never led to any real change. garner's mother tells the "today" show she remains frustrated. >> there are so many of us out there. my son and george was on camera. there are things caught on camera that no one has ever seen and they're out in the street saying give us justice because we had none. >> you can see the mothers' full interview coming up at 7:00 this morning. >> a powerful interview, i'm sure. 5:47 this morning. decision 2020. today is a big day for joe biden. the presumptive democratic presidential candidate is trying to connect to a front lines of crises, the pandemic and protests. he spoke with them during a virtual roundtable. >> protesting is a natural american response to injustice, but burning down communities is not. violence and endangering lives is not. >> seven states and the district of columbia hold primaries today with 479 democratic delegates up for grabs. a poll shows biden leads president trump by ten percentage points among likely voters. by now you may have seen images of president trump standing outside a church holding a bible in what is considered a controversial photo-op. >> police had to clear out lafayette park, this was across from the white house. >> that's exactly right which was filled with peaceful protesters. they were there before the beginning of the curfew, so they had the right to be there. the right to protest. but they were met with tear gas and rubber bullets nonetheless. park police and others cleared the way so that the president could walk over to the church. nbc has talked with white house insiders who say president trump was very upset at reports he spent friday night in a bunker and wanted to show a tougher side. he walked over
