A series of high profile twitter accounts hijacked in a bit coin scam. They included accounts of barack obama, joe biden, bill gates, and elon musk. It read feeling grateful doubling all payments to my btc address. It had a link where people can donate. It appears they got over 115,000. Not bad for an hours work. And, already, they have taken about more than 50,000. One of the key things that this raises questions about is how much we can trust twitter at all. Twitter says it is working to fix the issue and says most accounts should be able to tweet again. As we continue working on a fix, this functionality may come and go. We are working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible. So far, no word on who is behind this scam. Tonight, california is reporting its second highest daily total of new coronavirus cases. More than 11,000 yesterday alone. Thats a rise of more than 3 . The state also reported 140 new deaths. Tonight, Alameda County is on the states watch list for the third day in a row which means for changes to reopening plans. Places of worship can holdout Door Services only and indoor malls are required to close because case s are in the higher than 100 per 100,000 people per day. The state did grant Alameda County a variant so Outdoor Dining can resume. Face coverings are required for all times. They may only be removed when people are actually eating or drinking.

Changes and whats open in your county, you can check out kpix. Com. Meanwhile, in contra costa county, some workers are telling us they are struggling to make ends meet after businesses were ordered to close once again. We spoke with a couple who make a living cutting hair and they say they have no choice but to take matters into their own hands and turn their backyard into a barbershop. After their danville salon was forced to shut down today under the new health order. And so now, im cutting friends hair in the backyard making no money. If you are not making money or making 2,000 from unemployment, what does this do . You have your mortgage, your mortgage for your salon. Where does all that money come from . We are going underground. We have to. We almost wish they would have stayed closed longer and opened more permanently. This is rough. For everybody.

The focus is business or commercial operations. Not just somebody walking down the street without a mask on. People who are not masking, they are doing it on purposement people are not clueless. This is a case where sometimes you need the heavy hammer. In a way i think its right. The only way we can get rid of the pandemic to followhe rules. If people are that ignorant, they need to be held accountable by the community. The state superintendent of schools says most campuses should not reopen in a few weeks for the fall semester if current coronavirus trends continue. I often talk about the three pillars that i think are important for us during this pandemic. One is the safety, the Science Guidance on how to safely reopen schools. If it is not safe to do so, schools should not reopen in a way that puts students or staff in harms way. San Francisco Unified School District decided to start all fall classes with Distance Learning and move to a hybrid approach which is a mix of in person classroom learning and virtual instruction. Despite rising cases, the debate is intensifying over whether it is more harmful in the long run to keep kids out of the classroom. It is extremely stressful to be providing remote instruction. Because i know it doesnt work. The families struggle because it is really frus ntrerying to work and also try to help their kids learn. We want to make sure that all safety considerations are taken care of before any child steps foot on campus. Many bay area private schools are planning to reopen with in person classes next month.

President trump back at the white house tonight. He just got back from georgia where he announced he is rolling back environmental regulations that have been in place since the nixon administration. Doing away with environmental reviews of Infrastructure Projects like freeways and pipelines. Environmentalists are outraged calling it a give away to polluters. But the president says the regulations just delay important projects. We are cutting the federal permitting time line for a major project from up to 20 years or more, hard to believe, down to two years or less. Donald trump thinks about climate change, the only word he can muster is hoax. General, the democrats are more concerned with the Environmental Protection considerations than the Republican Party has been. Meanwhile, a big change for hospitals. They must now report all coronavirus data directly to the department of health and human services. Instead of the cdc. Thats the order from the white house. The big difference, the hhs reports directly to the president. Experts are concerned the data may not be made available to the public. We are not being guided by science and by Public Health principles. We have seen a sidelining of the cdc. Supreme Court JusticeRuth Bader Ginsberg resting at home. She spent yesterday in a baltimore hospital due to a possible infection. She was discharged today. And, the clock is ticking for all you lastminute tax filers. Today is the last day to file your tax return. The irs extended the april 15th deadline due to the pandemic. You can file for an extension, but it only gives you extra time to file and not to pay. If you do owe money and you plan to file atyou can or else you may be hit with penalties. You have been warned. All right. Good morning, thank you, veronica, an historic hiring in silicon valley. The agency with its first black ceo. I think i bring a unique view, especially at this time right now. That takes thousands of people working in really close proximity. All the flowers are live. An event watched by millions of people every year canceled for the First Time Since world war ii. At will in plus, somethinst well many people have such a misunderstanding as to how a reverse mortgage works. People think that the bank takes your home, but that is not true. Thats absolutely 100 wrong. The home is ours. We can sell it if we want to at any time. I like the flexibility of not having a payment, but i can make the payment if i want to. Youre responsible for keeping up your property taxes and youre responsible for paying your insurance on the property. For us, it was a security blanket. The value of our house, was to fund our longterm health care. These are just a few uses of reverse mortgages. Or go online to request your free information kit. Without a doubt, one of the best financial tools ive learned about. Everybody should be taking a look at it. If theyre over 62, they should at least investigate it. For years, reverse Mortgage Funding has been helping customers like these use the equity from their homes to finance their lives. They know the importance of having financial security. Weve got great peace of mind. Whatever comes up. Were ready. I advise you to call them. Make an appointment so they can tell you how it works. Its a good thing. Reverse Mortgage Funding. Access your equity. Stay in your home. Have peace of mind. And the hidden smiles. The foggy glasses, and the muffled laughs. A simple piece of fabric makes a big statement i care. Wear a mask. Lets all do our part to slow the spread. The Santa Clara ValleyWater District is making history. The first black ceo in its 90 year history. Colander grew up in san jose. Has been with the district for 24 years. He is well known for his political connections. And, his role as a longtime former head of the naacp. I think i bring a unique view, especially at this time right now, being able to make sure that we have equity in everything we do both internally an externally with this organization. Most often, its people of color who live in the flood zones of this valley. We need to provide equity and flood protection for everyone. Coronavirus raining on one of the biggest parades of the year. Today, organizers for the rose parade in pasadena canceled the new years day event. They said it would have been impossible to pull off in the middle of a pandemic. For one, marching bands would likely not be allowed to play because of Public Health concerns. And then, there are the floats which take hundreds of volunteers working in close proximity to build. With the parade nixed, organizers are planning to do Something Different on new years morning. Im kind of sad. It takes almost a year to plan this parade.
