Carillo is accused of killing a Sheriffs Office in ben lomond. They are seeking the Death Penalty for both men but a judge yesterday sided with the defense calling the dojs efforts premature. Her ruling delays any final decision on the Death Penalty until the new u. S. Attorney general is appointed some time after inauguration day.

It happened at the end of a car chase when deputies repeatedly used their batons on a car theft suspect in an alley. Video was released. Alameda county has since had a 5 million settlement.

You just enter in the group size and the county youre visiting. It will actually tell you how likely someone infected will attend your event.

A live look at the Golden Gate Bridge this morning. Its seen a dramatic drop during the pandemic. Fewer bus and ferry commuters has left the district facing tough questions. Today in the bays Cierra Johnson is live in marin this morning. As soon as today the answer may be some layoffs and an emergency toll hike or some combination of both . Reporter good morning. Exactly. Leaders here with the golden gate district have some tough decisions to make. They say because of the pandemic theyre dealing with a 48 million shortfall and this morning those leaders, as you mentioned, will have to make those decisions and options to make up for the shortfall. The first option eliminating positions with the district that can include 205 jobs with 146 layoffs. The second option would be to avoid layoffs and consider a temporary 2 toll hike on the Golden Gate Bridge. The third option would be a temporary 1. 25 toll hike and a one day a week unpaid furlough for employees affected by the layoffs. To give you an idea how much the golden gate district has lost since about march, the bridge saw a 2 million drop in bridge tolls and transit fares each week. And while some folks have continued to go back to work as traffic is picking up, the district says their numbers are still really down. Bus ridership down 75 and ferries down a surprising 96 . Thats because of local and tourists not being in the area. Again, that meeting kicking off 9 00 this morning. Some tough decisions will have to be made to make up the shortfall.

I could look it up but i can tell you there are 11 million in the u. S. , 58 million worldwide. Youll also recall that musk insisted employees go back to work when the county said it wasnt safe and calls some of those officials serious names. Very concerning. Costco now tightening its covid rules. Starting on monday costco will require all shoppers to wear those masks when shopping.

Hopefully we can at least squeeze a few rain drops out of this system before it moves out. But were not expecting a whole lot as that system continues to move through. So i wanted to show you what one of the models is showing for us in terms of rain, the possibility of getting about a tenth to a quarter inch of rain higher for the north bay as we normally do see. And then for the sierra snowfall totals also fairly light for the weekend. 3 to 5 inches but as high as 10 inches for the end of the weekend.

This will be spreading into the bay area later today. Well take a look at the time line coming up. Mike, any issues heading out the door . No, kari. Were calming down to our typical area. Oakland has the activity now much less than the last half hour as we look at the maps. You see green all over the place even out of the Altamont Pass<\/a> though theres a little slowing for 84 cutting through into sunol. Were looking at 880 northbound, a little slowing north of the kol seal, marcus. Typical road work there and 580 in the same area we have one crash that should be to the shoulder. Back to you. Thanks, mike. Now to our pandemic coverage and with covid cases surging reopening roadblocks are starting to get in the way and make their way around the bay area. Today in the bays thom jensen is live for us in Contra Costa County<\/a>. Downtown is lit up for the holidays. Thom, i know a lot of businesses will face some hardships this coming holiday season. Reporter and all because of coronavirus. It is lit up for the holidays, a time shops and restaurants around the plaza would see an increase and make a lot of their money. Health officials cannot ignore whats going on with the coronavirus. The spike here and across the nation and the temptation for people to travel to see family during the holidays. Even with the Record Number<\/a> of new covid cases people continue to travel by air for leisure and nonessential work. Nbc bay area head up with a couple heading home to be with family for the holidays despite the warning in chicago and here in the bay area. A lot of stories from back home people that my family knows got covid just from gathering. Reporter a new digital tool shows the couple has a 39 chance of coming into contact with someone at a Family Gathering<\/a> of ten in the windy city and other areas show greater than 50 chance with somebody with coronavirus in a gathering that size at other locations across the country. Health officials are once again tightening down the things that bring a lot of people together and here in Contra Costa County<\/a> it means highrisk activity is scaled back effective today. Indoor Retail Stores<\/a> and malls have to reduce occupancy to 50 or 100 people, whichever is less. That does not include Grocery Store<\/a>s which remain at capacity. Food courts have to cut back to 25 of capacity. Colleges and trade schools must follow the same rules of 25 occupancy and 100 person maximum placed on stores and office work also have to be done remotely and for now indoor entertainment like bowling and others must close here. And at midnight tighter restrictions will go into effect in San Francisco<\/a>. The city will no longer be in the minimum pally restrictive yellow tier. Indoor dining will be suspended until further notice. That affects all venues that serve food or drink not just those labelled as restaurants. Also tighter restrictions on indoor theaters, 25 capacity and a maximum of 50 people in all auditoriums or theaters. The same rules of 25 and 50 also being placed on gyms and fitness centers. Contra costa county also prohibiting Outdoor Entertainment<\/a> like musical ev s events trying to keep people from coming together and that is going to be so tough during the holidays. Still a lot of uncertainty for folks heading into the holidays and the new year. Were live in concord, thom jensen, today in the bay. Thom, thank you for that. Meanwhile alameda, napa and solano counties are all moving into more restrictive tiers. Health leaders warn a move back into the red is not out of question for the next week. This is by next week because they say Solano County<\/a> could fall back into the most restrictive purple tier if cases there keep climbing. Napa county leaders warn that its recent increase, orange, could become red or sliding back into purple. A live look at sfo, thanksgiving now less than two weeks away and travel plans no doubt a hot topic for anyone hoping to reconnect with family we missed. What are people in the bay area doing, and what do experts recommend . Today in the bays kris sanchez joins us live this morning with a look at the buzz. I know i miss my family desperately. Reporter i miss my family, too. My parns canceled their plans to see my sister in texas and we are expecting my motherinlaw from new york and having serious conversations about that right now. I can tell you if you plan to travel, you probably are not going to have a lot of company. Fewer than half a million say they will travel by air and nearly 6 million californians say they will drive. But look at this. 7 out of ten americans say they plan to stay home according to the American Hotel<\/a> and lodging association. Covid is surging in so many communities that Health Leaders<\/a> say theres still a covid risk to staying put. We can say in this event will covid be there or not . And in many places in the country there is a greater than 50 chance, so there is a likelihood, high likelihood, greater than chance that covid will be at that event. Reporter so that is the reason bay area public Health Leaders<\/a> started recommending quarantining for anyone who chooses to travel or gather with people outside their household. The l. A. Times reports Southern California<\/a> Health Leaders<\/a> are also considering the same thing and in chicago things are much more drastic. The chicago mayor issued a stayathome advisory asking people to only leave home for work, school or essential Services Like<\/a> medical care. So these are the cdc guidelines for celebrating thanksgiving this year. They say celebrate with just the people in your household but if you are hosting, keep it small and take to gathering outside. Ask your guests to wear masks and keep social distanced. This one is a lel hard to swallow. The cdc says if you are a guest bring your own food, your own drink and utensils, your plates and such. My mom would just not have that. Maybe most importantly discuss those expectations beforehand so that you dont have that uncomfortable discussion at the dinner table. Again, we are still having those conversations in our household and our family and i hope that you are also having those conversations. I would love to know what your plans are for thanksgiving. You can find me on facebook and twitter this morning. In san jose, kris sanchez, today in the bay. Thanks so much, kris. Uc students wont be getting refunds for fees they paid during the shutdown. A federal magistrate rejected claims filed by students, a classaction lawsuit filed in april claimed the uc system broke its promise to provide services when it stopped inperson learning. Fees can exceed more than 2,000 a year for state of the union services, health care and campus facilities. When it comes to making it in the bay the south bay reportedly appears to be the exception rather than the rule when it comes to lower rent in big cities. So as you probably heard cities across america including San Francisco<\/a> and oakland are seeing the largest drop in rent. According to a new Apartment List<\/a> study reported by the mercury news san jose has only a 6 rent decrease. Suburbs including mountain view, sunnyvale and santa clara have seen rents drop nearly twice that at 11 . Some of this may have to do with Silicon Valley<\/a> companies and those areas allowing more work from home during the pandemic. As you make your weekend plans you may want to plan ahead. Our Storm Tracker<\/a> being put to work tracking this incoming rain. A live look outside in san jose and San Francisco<\/a>. A nice start to our friday morning. Clear now. Kari hall has been timing out when we could see this rain. We certainly need it, kari. Im bummed its not going to be a heavy rain. Well track it all on storm ranger as we look at the red scan. Thats parked on San Bruno Mountain<\/a> and is picking up on some rain furpt ther to the nor. Well see the rain spreading into the rest of the north bay and then making it into the east bay and peninsula by about 4 00 this afternoon. So this is going to roll in here and out by this evening. So well talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. Mike, any issues as commuters head out to work this morning . Yeah. Kari, the east bay, i have to show you this. Look at the screen if youre traveling on the nimitz freeway and quite a few folks going smoothly past the coliseum just bunching up heading to 29th. The map shows you that the construction area to 23rd, i believe they are clearing right now and thats what happens is the worst of the slowing happens as crews cross the freeway to get out of the area. North 880 jammed up at the coliseum. 580 westbound is clear. So is the rest of the bay. Back to you. All right, thanks, mike. Its 5 21. Some new ideas to try to provide a sense of normalcy as covid cases surge. Next on today in the bay the warriors want to test all fans at their games. What has to happen to make that a reality, and would it actually work . Nbc news projects that joe biden has won arizona. Its been years since a democrat has won arizona. Well take a look at the numbers coming up when today in the bay continues. [ whispering ] whats this . Oh, are we kicking karly out . We live with at t. It was a lapse in judgment. At t, we called this house meeting because you advertise gigspeed internet, but we cant sign up for that here. Yeah, but im just like warming up to those speeds. Youve lived here two years. The personal attacks arent helping, karly. Dont you have like a hot pilates class to get to or something . [ muffled scream ] stop living with at t. Xfinity can deliver gig to the most homes. Right now at 5 44 rain moving in vacaville, as were going to be tracking this rain throughout today and as it moves from north to south. Well talk more about the time line and when you can expect that coming up in a few minutes. Over my shoulder the big stretch to the north, a look at the live look, this is observak. A crew, i believe, should be just clearing around 29th. Some folks may want to use the san mateo bridge because of that slowing. San mateo bridge moving smoothly. Thanks, kari and mike. Well, as the clock ticks towards Scott Petersons<\/a> death sentence retrial attorneys on both sides will be in court today for a preliminary hearing. The court is reconsidering his Death Penalty<\/a> 15 years ago and the killing of his wife, laci, and their unborn son. Prosecutors say they can seek the Death Penalty<\/a> again but still some issues to sort out in the filing of legal notices. Some of that may be sorted out today. Investigators are trying to figure out what caused a deadly Small Plane Crash<\/a> outside of los angeles. The single engine cessna went down near homes about noon yesterday and burst into flames destroying nearby cars. A look at the site there. The pilot died was flying solo and has not been identified. Its 5 46. Nbc news projects joe biden has won the state of arizona. That leaves georgia and North Carolina<\/a> yet to be called. Georgia is so close nobody could call it yet. North carolina is leaning towards President Trump<\/a>. We can now say joe biden has indeed won arizona. It might be more mathematically accurate to say theres no way President Trump<\/a> can win it. Arizona is worth 11 electoral votes. I want to be really careful here because everybodys vote counts, but it really doesnt matter that biden won arizona or trump may win North Carolina<\/a>. The math says biden already has 270. The final count will be important to history but it will not affect who is on those Capitol Steps<\/a> come january. Georgia Still Matters<\/a> as far as the two senate races go there. It looks as if they will both go to runoffs if the democrats in those races were to both win, that would create a 50 50 tie in the senate between republicans and democrats and as you recall from civics class Vice President<\/a> harris would then be the tiebreaker. President trump tweeted without any prove or even a link to anything that tens of millions of votes had been incorrectly counted. Leaders in his own cabinet relearele released a joint saying 2020 election was the most secure in history. The Cyber Security<\/a> agency is part of the department of Homeland Security<\/a>. In this statement it says theres no evidence that any Voting System<\/a> deleted or lost votes, changed votes or was in any way compromised. Lets pause just for a minute, though, and give thanks to the Cyber Security<\/a> community. We know foreign actors were attacking our voting databases. That according to Homeland Security<\/a> we were able to prevent them from damaging the purity of the election is indeed an achievement. Former president barack obama will be on 60 minimum this sunday. Cbs sent us a clip. They appear to be motivated in part because the president doesnt like to lose and never admits loss. Im more troubled by the fact that other republican officials who clearly know better are going along with this, are humoring him in this fashion. It is one more step in delegitimizing not just the Incoming Biden Administration<\/a> but democracy generally. And thats a dangerous path. As always we enjoy your comments and questions on twitter. We try to answer as many as we can. You can find me there. Im scottmcgrew. Disney will remain closed for the rest of the year. The company ceo is expressing disappointment. This is about californias restrictions keeping it closed. Disney recently laid off nearly 30,000 employees. Tomorrows scheduled game at arizona state, players are in quarantine but are talking about the game actually going on. In the meantime its being called bubble view. 40 College Basketball<\/a> teams are set to play in a bubble at a resort in connecticut starting over thanksgiving holiday weekend. With the nba set to return before christmas, the warriors say that they have a way for more people to safely bring back fans. Rapid Covid Testing Program<\/a> for fans who cant pretest at home pretty much everyone admits that the plan still has a lot of hurdles to overcome but the stateoftheart chase center has some advantages here including advanced air filtering systems that may help bring back as many as 9,000 fans to the games once the season begins. A poet and mother making headlines after rewriting one of her poems about Vice President<\/a> elect Kamala Harris<\/a>. Leslie immediately updated her poem brown girl, brown girl, after learning about the election results. Its a twist on the Childrens Book<\/a> brown bear brown bear what do you see. She says she rewrote it to show girls of color you can be anything you want to be in this country. Thats beautiful. Love it. Well, trending, did you see this, msnbcs socalled map guy Steve Kornacki<\/a> making headlines. His khakis came from gap, the company saw a huge boost in sales. While his pants are having their moment in the spotlight, it seems like his tie wasnt quite as lucky. He said on Election Night<\/a> he had to use staples to keep that tie together. Weve got to get him a new tie. Just toss it aside like we do. Thats right. Casual friday, guys. Thats catchy. I looked at gap stock kornacki khaki . It was interesting. Yeah, core yakkornackis kha theyre going to change the name. All right. Lets get a look at storm ranger this morning as we are going to be tracking some rain heading into the bay area. Were seeing some of that on storm ranger as it moves into our far northern cities around the bay area. Lets get a closer look as were start to go see the rain making that commute wet whether youre heading into the bay area or out of town just plan for that. Lets look at what to expect. Today that rain moves from north to south. Tomorrow is looking pretty spectacular with some sunshine and mild temperatures. Well be watching out for the king tides especially by sunday into monday. Next week will be warmer but well see more rain chances moving in. As we time out the rain it starts out here at lunch time. Were seeing spotty rain up around santa rosa and just south of ukiah and then going into 4 00 to 5 00 were seeing the rain spreading to the south bay around sunset and shortly thereafter. You can see the lighter rain. Were look iing at the possibily of getting a tenth to a quarter inch of rain for most of us but it may be higher for parts of the north bay where the rain lingers longer so we could see up to half an inch of rain from the sierra, 3 to 5 inches of some snow and up to 10 inches in the upper elevations so that makes the roads very slick. Well have a bigger storm system. As you make weekend plans you can track it on the nbc bay area app and get a look at storm ranger as that rain moves in. Mike, how is it looking right now for the commute . Looking good but, kari, as you mentioned that first rain we have to watch for the oil deposited on days like this. Well get you out to the roadway. Slowing in one spot. The bottom of your screen, san jose, typical slowing. Thats Silicon Valley<\/a>. Thats about it outside of this slowing. This is the big one. Northbound 880 jams up past the coliseum all the way to 29th. Construction is still active. Lets take a look. The Oakland Coliseum<\/a> camera shows you the taillights jammed up from about 98th to high street that is going to slow you down, west 580. A smoother drive. If youre north of that on the nimitz, for example, this is a clear, easy drive into San Francisco<\/a>. Back to you. All right, mike, thank you.
