health that has experts are fearful that the flu combined with covid-19 could overwhelm hospitals so they're urging everyone to get a flu shot. our washington dc correspondent trevor shirley reports on the challenge of can convincing everyone to get a vaccination. >>the cdc says the u.s. will have around 200 million doses of flu vaccine available this year. now health officials have to convince as many people as possible to get a flu shot is certainly safe. and it's pretty effective doctor georges benjamin is the executive director of the american public health association, he says usually only about 40 to 45% of americans get a flu shot and if we get that into the 70% range. >>that would do a whole lot just this week parents in massachusetts protested against mandatory flu shots for students. it's one example of the challenges health officials face this year. >>as they combat the flu and covid-19 so happy really 2 big epidemics. >>that have similar symptoms as well as way would tax the whole system would be a real problem and to avoid that worst case scenario. doctors are pleading with everyone who can to get a flu shot is a big national effort to educate people about getting the influenza shot. >>tv and internet ads like this are part of that education effort. the cdc also gave out a 140 million dollars to help states with their vaccine campaigns. and recommends everyone keep up with masks and washing and social distancing plus get your shot. the cdc also purchased almost 10 million doses of flu vaccine for uninsured adults and increase from the 500,000 doses it usually buys for that group reporting in washington, i'm trevor shirley. and the world health organization says at least 25 potential coronavirus vaccines are now undergoing human trials around the world. >>of those 5 of them are in phase 3 and that's the most advanced stage of testing before a vaccine can reach the public. there have been no serious side effects so far with the coronavirus vaccines in phase 3. one problem though is that companies haven't been able to recruit enough members of minority communities to volunteer for the study day. >>marty we're looking at current temperatures right now in the 70's off to the east bay before the sun has had time to really do much of anything 60's up to the north bay. i would be taking a look at your lofty temperatures coming up a little bit maybe >>welcome back to kron 4 morning news, good morning everybody and a continuation of the hot weekend that we talked about this is going to be the hottest in the bunch. it looks like tomorrow is going to be somewhat reminiscent of saturday, so still quite lofty we don't really start to break things down until tuesday but will be looking for some offshore winds at that point live shot coming in here from timber on way off towards the distance. there's the golden gate up close and personal very clear view that we've had fog forget about it little bit of a breeze happening certainly a spare the air days that's another given probably will exist again for tomorrow as well 70's cover a lot of the east asia will notice these are current temperatures now 66 going on there as you can see we're 68 for oakland, 60's also up to the north bay 73 for san francisco, 55 half moon bay, so they are getting some arena fact for now and 69 meanwhile for san jose. however, one of the things that happens with this high is you have a couple of factors in this case that are working perfectly to really cause these temperatures to pounce we have a very very strong high pressure system. also it's an a located in the right little spots so it's the falling you're right on top of us and it's also warm air and by its nature when you're compressing air that warms it even further. and one last step here at the surface lack of winds. we go out to the afternoon. this is all we get this is after really the next heating of the day a little bit of an onshore drift happens today. it's more than yesterday. then more expected for tomorrow. still we're going to have those are lofty temperatures this will be occurring late in the day and this is on shore at this point now but then we're watching up may be potential for some offshore winds by the time we get to run tuesday and wednesday. so for this weekend, we're still talk about the excessive heat warning here very hot today 100 plus for the bay and inland. early next week. going to be quite hot going on for monday. then some minor relief by tuesday and wednesday just take the edge off. then later on the week we're looking for some relief happening high temperatures in the 80's by the time we finish off the week in the inland valleys that will be a nice nice little change or so for today to run through at 95 going on san francisco oakland and 98 1 '03 coming in for san jose you can see there's no relief happening at all we have san francisco that's beyond 90 degrees like that and the key issue will be also the winds if we don't get a little bit of a drift that comes in from the coast or a little bit of an offshore when the trust to develop just very locally that can affect the high temperatures and we can go even beyond that as well across the board we have purple crayons which we hardly ever used the bay area 110 plus is expected for the inland valleys over the east bay hills but in the east bay shoreline, 100 plus to be found 98 for open, but one '05 hayward one oh one going on for freeman up here the north bay. well beyond 100 expected today even half moon bay checking in at 81 that really underscores the factor of a location, a community right on the beaches, not getting the impact from that cooler waters that are around 60 degrees or so let's take a quick look at that 7 day forecast because i want to show you the relief that is get full that less crowded here by wednesday looks like as we go into double digits, wow and then into the 80's we go as we finish off the week marty ok dave thanks a lot. well turning now to wildfire coverage the excessive heat all this weekend is causing cal-fire to increase staffing. >>during this critical fire weather. crews are continuing to make progress on wildfires that are burning in the bay area. the lnu lightning complex in the north bay currently at 89% containment more than 375,000 acres have been burned. the scu complex fire in the south bay and the east bay up to 88% containment now more than 396,000 acres burned and containment is up to 64% in the czu lightning complex fires in san mateo and santa cruz counties that fire. those fires burned more than 86,000 acres. so far and just a reminder you can always find the latest wildfire. evacuation information weather alerts as well on our website at kron 4 dot com. >>he just kind of. hope. >>oh man imagine driving through that a terrifying but all too familiar scene for hikers near fresno is a 4 phase says they tried to flee the rapidly growing creek fire. the fast-moving flames forced more than 150 campers at mammoth lakes to shelter in place overnight. the creek fire is burning in the sierra national forest east of fresno and it's exploded in size its part on friday night and since then has grown to about 36,000 acres. the county sheriff. there says the fire is cut off the only available as scape route and that trapped about 150 people overnight. so far about a 100 of them have been airlifted out several are in the hospital this morning suffering from a variety of injuries, including some listed in critical condition this morning. the state you some helicopters to get a wide look at the fire and figure out the best way to find it. and we talked to cal fire to learn what makes this fire such a problem. >>number of these lakes are places where people in central valley to get out of the heat to recreate so the number of people that were camping in the mammoth pools reservoir as un it just wasn't safe. but he had a number of vehicles on such narrow road to try to evacuate and so in in this case the sheriffs made the decision that was safer for them to shelter in place and assure storm continues on tour now evacuating those residents now the fire has burned through there. but it just from you know the footage seem to have this amount of smoke and for it to have gotten so large again is just telling of how dry conditions are and is really our concern going into the next several days because the same weather conditions are expected throughout much of northern california and even in the bay area. >>well daniel berlant says it's still too early to know the cause of this fire but he also says the dry conditions here in california means it doesn't take much of a spark to ignite into a huge wildfire that you see there. the santa rosa fire department by the way is helping out in this firefight. >>still ahead this morning after this demand justice for breonna taylor we're going to see how demonstrators aim to shift attention

that's going to continue as we take this look from sutro cam. days far is here with the forecast sunday, but it's hard to believe the maps that you're showing a 115 degrees. in the more value today. it's going to be quite hot. yeah mardy are showing that picture there from the sutro camera i just had a frying pan sizzling in the background in my head, you know >>and it's not just your bacon this frying this morning in there. so here's what's going on we have a hot dry that continues, this is probably the hottest day in this trio. the we've been talking about here. this excessive heat warning is still be in place tomorrow. but tomorrow it could be kind of a rerun more saturday today is really the big day we're looking at inland highs, 101 15. for the bay. the on 95 approaching near one 10 but in the 100 plus range and even at the coast, you're lucky to get in the middle 70's. well in the 80's. so that's why most the real estate is under excessive heat warning the oranges indicate the heat advisory that's in place that san francisco in the coastal areas live shot coming in from the bay bridge toll plaza you will notice there winds at this hour, fairly calm going to stay that way we do see a little bit of a slight uptick that will happen after the high temperatures are achieved and some of the valleys up here in the north bay and off to the east bay, too temperatures were in the 70's for most of the east bay, some 60's here and there oakland 6868 for a little more valley and choi that's the best are going to do all day. 60's up to the north bay 69 for san jose and just keeping a running total what's going on here is more than half a dozen to near a dozen agrees ahead of where we were from yesterday which is one of the reasons why those temperatures will be so much hotter today because we're starting off on such a warm note too so breaking your day down looks like about 95 by 11 by 2 we're talking at one o 8. coming up a little bit here we'll be checking it up 4 zone forecast see what's going on in your neck of the woods. plus also another look at that extended party okay day, thanks a lot. let's get back to our main story this morning, the extreme temperatures that have tempted people they had the barks. >>beaches and lakes all trying to find some relief. the hot weather inspiring families to spend some time outdoors kron four's phillipe djegal reports from lake chabot where they were very busy all day long. >>a crowd was expected and the crowd showed up is great to be out here you feel safe in everyone's just like kind of doing their own thing and doing so from a distance a day before the grass near the lake chabot regional park marina in castro valley was essentially bear and on saturday, a different story families huddled up keeping to themselves oh love this weekend. so we didn't want to stay inside you on hold when had the same idea she wanted to paint with her friend but not indoors where they have to keep face coverings on

warmer now so fisher well davor them like takers hit the trails early in the morning to avoid the hottest hours of the day billy wolfe and his partner walked a nine-mile says pretty warm and we're looking forward to a swimming pool, maybe this afternoon sounds like a great idea in castro valley police should all run for news. health experts warn that this holiday weekend could result in a major uptick in covid-19 cases. >>as infection shot up in some places following memorial day and the 4th of july that despite warnings about the dangers of big social gatherings. but a lot of people are seemingly ignoring the safety precautions. >>the eu's labor day as a way to take the day off but unfortunately of the virus doesn't. >>we don't want to go into that with another surge that we have to turn around again. so it really is an important weekend. >>more than 188,000 people in the u.s. have died from covid-19 and now key research that's often cited by top health officials predicts more than 410,000 coronavirus deaths in the u.s. by january. there's a new studies that suggest that people recovering from covid-19 wait several months before the exercise again. a study of 100 adults found that nearly 80 of them had structural changes to their hearts. 6 in 10 were found to have inflammation of the heart muscle which can be fatal. when you factor in exercise which also can a heart that has many doctors concerned the study recommends anyone who's recovered from covid-19 symptoms to undergo a cardiac mri. so potential information can be found and the advised to wait at least 6 months after recovering from covid-19 before getting back into a rigorous exercise routine. turning to politics this morning democratic vice president presidential nominee kamala harris says that she wouldn't trust a covid-19 vaccine based on president trump's word alone now those comments are all part of a cnn interview that was released yesterday. senator harris says she's concerned that the white house is putting pressure on the fda to rush the vaccine process. >>do you trust that in the situation where we're in now that the public health experts and scientists will get the last word on the efficacy of the vaccine if past is pro law that they will not they'll be muscled they'll be suppressed. they will be sidelined because he's looking at election coming up in less than 60 days. and he's grasping for whatever he can get to pretend that he's been a leader on this issue and is not so let's just say there's a vaccine that is approved and even distributed before the election. would you get. i think that's going to be an issue for all of i will say that i would not trust donald trump. and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the the efficacy and the and the reliability of whatever he's talking about i will not take his word for it he wants us to inject well health experts say that it's critical of the fda does not rush the approval process to the point. >>where the public does not trust the fda. instead researchers need to prove any vaccine work safely and effectively so the public will be willing to take it. fda vaccine advisory committee member doctor paul offit is speaking out about politics when the fda decision making on a vaccine. he says if that happens that would be bad news. >>the fda is not an independent group they are part of hhs health and human services which is part of the executive branch can they be politicized. yes they've been politicized with hydroxy-chloro-quinn decision they've been plus politicize convalescent plasma decision so that's what makes people word. >>well the world health organization says at least 25 potential coronavirus vaccines are now undergoing human trials around the world of those as we mentioned 5 of them are in phase 3. that's the most advanced stage of testing before a vaccine reaches the public. >>coming up this morning the areas you know saw triple digit heat this weekend we're finding out how some people are choosing to pull off. and how officials are >>good morning welcome back officials in santa cruz in other parts of the bay area say they want to keep the crowds down this holiday weekend. they're also trying to follow figure out how to follow health visitors and residents can keep safe from lingering wildfire smoke. phil gomez is in santa cruz, he has more on that. >>because of safety concerns with the czu fire and the pandemic the city and counties are rolling up the welcome mat and asking tourists to remain in their own counties. >>so this is our last hurrah before school started and we wanted to come before the weekend's to beat the rush of people who would be coming for labor day city and county leaders were concerned with the jump in covid-19 cases they took action to close state. county and local beaches to avoid large groups of people gathering law enforcement for all agencies have a plan or we're doing is setting up barricades and then also having people educate. >>from park and rec staff will be here to educate people and then we'll have officers on the beach doing enforcement visitors can cross the sand for water activities the county is also asking hotels and motels to give czu lightning fire victims. first crack at available rooms rather than tourists and we're asking hotel owners to please a comedy those evacuees whenever possible. >>and wherever possible and make a local. individuals a priority over the visitors from out of town in santa cruz and the county public access is only from 48 pm in capital it is 6 to 8 in the evening. >>law enforcement will be out in mass but rather than site they'd rather educate but fines will be stiff. at $1000. in santa cruz still going. >>in the space 60's up to the north bay. and 59 half moon bay gets the gold star for being the cool spot they're not for long going to look at your 4 >>and welcome back to kron 4 morning news, good morning everybody in live shot coming in from sfo course no delays going on for this morning, let's get right to it look at those current temperatures for you a lot of 70's covering the east bay 60's up to the north bay. 59 half moon bay, let's look at our for a moment here how about that's pretty nice not going to stick around for a long the 69 meanwhile for san jose i want to jump to the moisture part of the program here just briefly obviously the air has been kind of dry and it will remain that way here's how it drops off this afternoon of these are pretty low numbers and we usually use this run through when we're talking about fire problems but when underscores this is as with the dry air that's in place you could be losing a lot of water even if you don't feel it and you don't notice it. so keep the water flowing, you definitely need to stay cool. but beyond that to these numbers are a little bit artificially low because their relative humidity when you have high temperatures. the air can support a lot more water in it. so it doesn't necessarily mean the air is much drier than we sometimes look at that by comparison of hot. it is that's why the relative humidity levels are so low there's the overnight recovery if you want to call it that and she's he 5 in the morning. and we get into tomorrow afternoon same deal again dropping off well in the 20's. now we start looking more carefully as we go from monday on work because there is the concern up in solano county we might be having a fire weather watch situation here with some potential offshore winds there so that's going to be after the high weakens and starts to allow winds to go on right now the winds are pretty much been cut off. so look at temperatures across the state today. a lot of those interior areas are pretty much one 15 to one 20 zone. they could bounce either way there. one 16 going on for fresno is an estimation. one 12 for a sacramento won 12 also bakersfield central coast. 80's and 90's san diego to one '04 but again as we keep saying particularly a coastal locations, a lot depends on winds. this assumes a certain amount of a light breeze or not at all. if you get a little winds that can crack that won't get that high 95 meanwhile for l a x again, a wind issue 83 at the big bear which is actually still kind of pleasant with these numbers, 95 in the 4 zone forecast covers up for san francisco, 86 for marina district. we'll do a tease out to the coast here half moon bay, they raced to about 81 for a high. of course the bayside as warmer 90's to be found here 94 burlingame and look how crowded it

waves start to crack through the 90's we fly in down to the 80's by the time we finish off the week marty ok dave thank you. well new this morning we're getting a peek at the upcoming book from former fixer for president trump michael cohen. >>in the book cohen describes the president as quote a cheat a liar a fraud a bully a racist a predator and a con man. but critics point out that cohen is an admitted liar having pleaded guilty to multiple federal clock crimes in crew including lying to congress. one of the stranger allegations in this book is that president trump was so obsessed with then president obama that trump hired a so call full bama that you see there on your screen to take part in a video were trump would belittle and then fire the president. cohen even provided this photo of the incident did not say exactly when this happened nor the identity of the actor who was hired for the role of president obama. a longtime critic of democratic presidential candidate joe biden back in 1991 hill testified before a senate committee that the van u.s. supreme court nominee clarence thomas had sexually harassed her at the time senator was a chair of the all-male committee any came off to a lot of observers is not taking the hill very seriously. well now. anita hill says she will vote for biden cnn's gore gloria borger a spoke with hill and biden about their shared history. >>professor do you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god. >>was it scary. ellos terrify he would call me into a soft it's been nearly 30 years since anita hill testified before a now infamous senate judiciary hearing led by joe biden you lay out she has come to a surprising conclusion would you like to see elected in november. >>i think joe biden is a person who should be elected in november and that's not all would you be willing to work with him. >>oh yes, my commitment is to finding solutions and i am more than willing to work with him i was very uncomfortable with the ideal became a household name testifying before the all-male committee during the supreme court confirmation of clarence thomas judge thomas began to use work situations to discuss. hill claimed thomas sexually harassed her when she worked for him at the equal employment opportunity commission. thomas vehemently denied those accusations as a black american as far as i'm concerned it is a high-tech lynching. he was confirmed to the supreme court after biden led the fight against him some say let the republicans can a takeover i don't think i did but the point was i wish i could have done it differently under the rules. >>in early 2019 just weeks before joe biden launched his campaign for president. hill got a phone call. >>i have apologized to need to tell the could have done better for her. the truth is i believe her and i believed he should not be in the court. >>you called the phone call on satisfying it didn't take responsibility he didn't hold himself accountable. and anyway except that he was sorry that i felt i wasn't treated fairly. >>but hill says she's been watching the selection closely and biden seems to be taking more responsibility now for her that's enough. >>this is not just about me. it's not just about joe biden it's about millions of people in this country and around the world that we can be a model for and i would love to be a part of that and if it means voting for joe biden so be it. >>we're going take a short break, but first we'll take you outside for this live look from the embarcadero no fog along the waterfront that

cafe they have a from a judge to do inspections chp tells us officers were there on safety stand by assisting the osha inspectors, but the owners did i both agencies entry people known for their cars to take their rights that's what it comes down to the restaurant was slapped with orders taking a wake county health permits ordered to comply with covid-19 restrictions or close and still they stayed open. but rodriguez says the restaurant hasn't seen state inspectors at the restaurant in 2 and a half years so we ask hello show why they visited the restaurant now they said the visit was part of a task force created by the governor to stop the spread of covid-19 at whole businesses who endanger public health and safety accountable. cal osha didn't respond when we asked why this was the first

my condo. well planned, well invested, well protected. voya. be confident to and through retirement. >>welcome back to kron 4 morning news, good morning everybody and the rights show that we have in the golden gate bridge here forget about fog going on with this high pressure in place but a bit of a interesting offshore wind from this vantage point the flag flapping in this general direction, although the wind patterns are showing it. we we onshore drift that we have most the readings are in the 70's but antioxidant waiting 83 now santa rosa meanwhile, 6772 napa 7 in a bottle, 74 in san francisco, 59, half moon bay enjoy. and 73 going on for san jose. so it's the high pressure that's basically in the right spot. so we don't get a lot of surface circulation. one on the air above us is hot the high is a little stronger than it was last go around. and to add to that you have a falling air so we have all the elements to give us maximum heating going on for today so temperatures are kind of a guest today depending on if you get a little bit of a surface breeze in the right direction it could bust the forecast highs and the cole direction it becomes another direction from say a little bit of a land breeze. well forget about it the so let's go for with those winds. we have a little drift on shore. but this is very weak and it's after high temperatures will be achieved we get a little bit of a breeze like that occurring at around noon that would probably challenge the highs but will be too late the day to really do is too much good. but i'm going we'll take it then it starts to change a little bit later on it's a little bit more amplified because the high is now weakening a little bit moving to the west so it's allowing surface winds the onshore winds to start to kick in what we're concerned about now as we get into tuesday wednesday zone is a bit of an offshore wind starting to develop that's going to be fire weather talking all of that that's the next chapter to talk about live shot coming in from the bay bridge toll plaza so today again we continue with excessive heat warning that around tomorrow too by the way very hot today with 100 plus going on for the bay as well as inland early into the next week. monday still much the same as cult-like saturday, but it's tuesday wednesday, we'll get some slight relief and all of that and then much better relief later in the week, we'll have some 80's going on in land today or i'm sorry this week coming up by the time we get around thursday but picking friday and into saturday. but for today 95 san francisco, 98 going on for oakland, one '03 san jose across the wider bay, it's one 10 plus to be filed. but even the east excuse me east bay shoreline will be treated to over 100 degree temperatures. one '03 meanwhile for san jose. and places like half moon bay about 81 again very critical if you do get any wind breeze at all from the coast. that will challenge that high today's hopefully you will get that we'll check in your 4 zone forecast coming up a bit as well as that extended with relief package in there marty all right lee sounds great. thank you. well turning to our wild coverage of wildfire coverage now the excessive heat this weekend is causing cal-fire to increase staffing during this critical fire weather. >>crews are continuing though to make progress on the wildfires that are burning here in the bay area. the lnu lightning complex fire in the north bay currently at 89% containment, though it's burned some 375,000 acres. the scu complex fire in the east and south bay is up to 88% containment. but almost 400,000 acres have burned and containment is up to 68% in the czu lightning complex fires in san mateo and santa cruz county. those fires have burned more than 86,000 acres now you can find the latest on the wildfire information also reports and other information as well on our website at kron 4 dot com. >>he just kind of. hope. >>you can just see how terrifying but all too familiar that scene was this is a video some hikers near fresno as they tried to flee the rapidly growing creek fire now that fast those fast-moving flames forced more than 150 campers of mammoth lakes to shelter in place last night, the fire of the creek fire burning now in the sierra national forest that's east of fresno and it's really exploded in size it sparked on friday night and since then it's grown to about 36,000 acres have been burned. the county sheriff says the fire also cut off the only available escape route and that trapped about 150 people in place overnight so far about a 100 of them have been airlifted out of the area, several of them in the hospital this morning with a variety of injuries, including some listed in critical condition. now the state use of helicopters to get up above the flames and get a wide look at the fire invest way to attack it and we talked to cal fire to learn what makes this fire such a problem. >>number of these lakes are places where people in central valley go on to get out of the heat to recreate so number of people that were camping in the mammoth pools reservoir as un it just wasn't safe. but he had a number of vehicles on such narrow road to try to evacuate and so in in this case the sheriffs were made the decision that was safer for them to shelter in place and assure storm continues on tour now evacuating those residents now the fire has burned through there. but it just from you know the footage they are seen to have this amount of smoke and for it to have gotten so large again is just telling of how dry conditions are and is really our concern going into the next several days because the same weather conditions are expected throughout much of northern california and even in the bay area. >>well burt lance says it's still too early to know the cause of the fire but he also says the dry conditions here in california means it doesn't take much for any spark to ignite into a huge wildfire. the santa rosa fire department is helping out in this firefight. still ahead this morning activists demanding justice for briana taylor we'll see how demonstrators aim to shift attention.

derby as authentic beat out the favorite tiz the law. the odds were 8 to one out the knicks trainer has worked with the thoroughbreds to win the triple crown and because of the coronavirus pandemic the derby took place later in the year than usual. and of course, no fans in the stands. the kentucky derby of course one of kentucky's most treasured as well as in the u.s. but this year many people were watching what was going on before saturday's race as protesters ga3hered outside of churchill downs calling for justice for taylor, brad conway reports organizers and bring on his mom say that

they want justice for breonna taylor. >>who was shot and killed by louisville police nearly 6 months ago. >>well they were executing a no knock search warrant. i just can't understand for the life of me. >>why it's taken so long. >>timothy finley is the founder of the justice and freedom coalition, just one of several groups who came out in numbers to protest ahead of the race and we want police chase police accountability what the police chief and rush there were counter protesters there too including a self-described white militia. >>and police were out in full force breaking up some heated confrontations between protesters and counter-protesters they can do what they want to do the 3 but for us we're focused we're not distracted. we're going continue to call for justice. >>i think they'll now be protests every day and so just as a side. >>i'm britt conway reporting. >>and coming up on the kron 4 morning news. we're heading in further into the labor day weekend and officials are pleading with everyone not to make the same mistakes as previous holidays during the pandemic. and later today tune in for a special encore presentation of the raiders last afc championship win that was in 2002 against the tennessee titans all the action at 1 o'clock right here on kron 4. >>good morning, everybody welcome back to the kron 4 morning news. we're focusing on yet another very hot day around the bay, this is going to be the hottest. day of the weekends we take this live look outside this is from sutro camera looking san francisco you can see why it's yet. another spare the air day for the bay area's we have we'll really lousy air quality around the bay that's a scientific term by the way dave allows the air quality hot temperatures as well dave is here with more on that. yeah you just nailed or thing it's in it's the scenario with this this bad air that much marty was just showing you. >>that's because this high doesn't allow the surface circulation, not that we had great air before that nice circulation going on at this completely shuts it down. so we don't get the natural microclimate cooling so we might as well take the bay area and punk in iowa, or something like that one exception the immediate coast just not getting that impacts so for today, the excessive heat warning that's the purple you see inland highs. well beyond 100 the bay is talking about mid 90's you might get lucky along the east bay shoreline in some select a spots but even there will be locations beyond 100. the coast, 75 is a floor not a ceiling for temperatures going on into the 80's that's your oranges by the way and that is a heat advisory. but this is going to be around tomorrow too but as marty was saying this is the and the bunch here looks like live shot coming in from the bay bridge toll plaza with the sun joining us up over the east bay hills, one of the issues that happened overnight was we didn't cool off much temperatures were retained that waste we start off a little bit higher on a higher level build on that and high temperatures are going to temperatures stand 70's for a lot of the east bay 83, antioch up to the north bay 70's and 60's 76 san francisco, half moon bay's catching up now 63, 73 meanwhile for san jose there you have the east bay shoreline well in the 70's as you'll notice and yes, we're much ahead of where we were this time from yesterday in some cases approaching a dozen degrees ahead, so have all the elements in place for a hot day 100 will do about high noon. 3 o'clock one 10 and some select the spots we're going to get into your 4 zone forecast and that extended and just a bit party all right dave thanks a lot want to continue to talk about the extreme temperatures around the bay has attempted a lot of people. >>to head to parts of beaches and lakes to try and find some relief. the east bay regional park district increase staffing for the holiday weekend to make sure that everyone stayed safe. most common areas were closed off to discourage picnicking and barbecuing and big crowds. even the restrooms were closed as well rental boating was allowed so is fishing but one fisherman donald brennan says the fish were just not biting. >>if you really see it being here, especially seeing >>and they're being really cautious about everything so got to see the year there are a lot of people and we keep our masks on and on doesn't do that is it wasn't it was very pleasant out there i don't think there's ever this crowd are we pulled up the story by 30 in the parking lot was us. >>qadri a department how mild the road. >>well the east bay regional park district will continue to monitor the traffic of visitors throughout the holiday weekend. a key model often cited by top health officials is predicting now more than 410 coronavirus 410,000 rather coronavirus deaths in the u.s. by january that projection comes as many americans are heading to the beaches lakes and barbecues for the last long weekend of the summer. experts are warning that similar holidays earlier this year showed that they can be a perfect storm for spreading coronavirus tom foreman has more. >>brace yourself for more super spreader event that's the warning from health officials who fear with millions traveling over the labor day holiday the pandemic could spike just as we enter for when the flu and other illnesses may come into play we use labor day as a way to take the day off but unfortunately of the virus doesn't. we don't want to go into that with another surge that we have to turn around again. >>so it really is an important weekend. >>infection shot up in some places after memorial day and the 4th of july to despite warnings against big social gatherings. like that motorcycle rally in south dakota, which

rates are 40% higher for african americans than any other ethnic group our health expert karen o lock is here this morning to talk more about this disease and how to lower your risk and karen i understand this is one of the more deadly cancers but ironically, it's also one of the most preventable. >>that's right marty and of all the cancers colorectal cancer is one of the cancers that can be detected in the early stages, but the problem is that test which is a colonoscopy is not something that people like to do so a lot of people are not taking the test. >>there's a lot of stigma behind the skippy because it's so invasive and just the idea of one right. >>and some people that just don't even like the word wrecked him and much less than having something probe up to arrest them. yeah, so they are really embarrassed by it as well as a little scared, so they choose to opt out altogether which can have deadly results. >>i understand that african are at a higher not only a higher risk but also a large number of african americans for whatever reason choose not to get a test. >>right there is a higher with of with african americans, science so they're they're looking at to see if there's any molecular mechanism newsom that is associated with that high with a do you see is that they don't schedule. they just don't want to schedule the colonoscopy as well as their lifestyle is a little bit different. they're seeing more. tobacco use in that ethnic group as well our obesity less physical activity as well as plant foods that contain vitamin c and vitamin e. >>one thing we're also recognizing as well is that the american cancer society is now. saying that you should start getting tested at the age of 45 the standard always been at 50 and for anyone who has colon cancer in their family history of colon cancer in their family they should get tested even at a younger age. >>right if you have a family member you're risk is 2 to 3 times higher. if you have a family member who has a who was younger when they were diagnosed you risk of the that type of cancer is 3 to 6 times higher definitely and then as far as african americans because of the risk is higher. they're recommending 45 years at at them at the maximum this when you should get your test. >>one thing that you started to touch on let's get into that a little bit deeper and that is some of the causes you say that lifestyle factors really play a large cars into this. >>right >>physical inactivity deafening and you know we're always talking about being more active. >>the the foods that people eat. they're seeing a connection between meet in particular and it's not so much the meat that is causing the cancer. but it is the bile acids that your body produces to break down those animal fats, we're looking at our screen right now and it says especially fatty cuts of beef pork and lamb as well as deli meats as well. >>yes, definitely and then and then the large you know things like and some of those big goods that you still use a lot of shortening in lard in their foods. so. it's set those bile acids bile acids or your body's degree sir. so the more you eat the more bile acids you're going to produce and secrete into your your body so those bile acids are the ones that they see as potentially cancer causing so what are what are some lifestyle changes that people who are in that age group of people who are worried about the should be making. >>so definitely less meat so try limit your me to maybe once a week you know in a serving is 3 ounces. >>they found that people that. >>that are plant eaters fair that those second terry a bile acids they have a 70% less of those file assets in their gut compared to meat eaters so if you're going to start eating more plant foods you know try and set to to your your more plant based proteins like beans your diet instead of the the meat also they found that fully folate things are high in folate. >>which are your leafy greens. then the research is showing that that also help reduce those abnormal cell activity in your gut and we're talking really trying to increase that and we're talking vegetables such as swiss chard or kale. >>we're talking about the leafy greens right exactly does think green leafy try to get those in at least one to 2 times a day so those nice big salad and also the vitamin vitamin c is really important they found >>well first of green red peppers red peppers and 3 times the vitamin c of an orange and then also include the vitamin e which is you know things like you're on man's and sunflower seeds real quickly before we go what is the link between alcohol consumption and colorectal cancer. they found that people and have a drink 2 to 4. >>alcoholic drinks a day their risk of colon cancer was

saturday, a different story families huddled up keeping to themselves oh love this weekend. so we didn't want to stay inside you on hold when had the same idea she wanted to paint with our friend but not indoors where they have to keep face coverings on the whole time outdoors they only covered up when close to other people. it's nice hike everyone's kind of cooperating you know just we're all we

holiday weekend could result in a major uptick in covid-19 cases. >>infection shot up in some places after memorial day and the 4th of july this despite warnings about dangers of big social gatherings. but a lot of people are seemingly ignoring safety precautions. >>the eu's labor day as a way to take the day off but unfortunately of the virus doesn't. >>we don't want to go into that with another serves that we have to turn around again. i would really is an important weekend. >>and more than 188,000 people in the u.s. have died from covid-19 and now a key research model that's often cited by top health officials is predicting more than 410,000 coronavirus deaths in the u.s. by january. democratic vice presidential nominee kamala harris says that she would not trust a covid-19 vaccine based on president trump's word alone. those comments are part of a cnn interview that was released on saturday senator harris is concerned the trump administration is putting pressure on the fda. >>to rush the vaccine process. do you trust that in the situation where we're in now that the public health experts and scientists will get the last word on the efficacy of the vaccine if past is pro law that they will not they'll be muscled they'll be suppressed. >>they will be sidelined because he's looking at election coming up in less than 60 days. and he's grasping for whatever he can get to pretend that he's been a leader on this issue and is not so let's just say there's a vaccine that is approved and even distributed before the election. would you get. i think that's going to be an issue for all of i will say that i would not trust donald trump. and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the the efficacy and the and the reliability of whatever he's talking about i will not take his word for it he wants us to inject lee health experts say it's critical the approval process isn't rushed to the point where the public doesn't trust the fda instead. >>researchers need to prove any vaccine works safely and effectively so the public will be willing to take it. now i see a vaccine advisory committee member doctor paul offit is speaking out about politics swaying the fda decision making on a vaccine and that he says would be bad news. >>the fda is not an independent group they are part of hhs health and human services which is part of the executive branch can they be politicized. yes they've been politicized with hydroxy-chloro-quinn decision they've been plus politicize convalescent plasma decision so that's what makes people word. >>the world health organization says at least 25 potential coronavirus vaccines are undergoing human trials worldwide of those 5 are in a phase 3. that's the most advanced stage of testing before a vaccine can reach the public. >>and new this morning we're getting a peek at the upcoming book from former fixer for president trump michael cohen in the book cohen describes the president as quote a cheat liar fraud bully racist predator and con man. but critics point out that cohen is an admitted liar himself having pleaded guilty to multiple federal clock crimes, including lying to congress. one of the stranger allegations in the book is that president trump was so obsessed with then president obama that trump hired a so-called fo bama to take part in a video where trump belittled and then fired the president here you see a photo that cohen provided of the incident he wouldn't say exactly when this happened or the identity of the actor who was hired for the role. president obama. anita hill has been a longtime critic of democratic presidential candidate joe biden back in 1991 hill testified before a senate committee that van u.s. supreme court nominee clarence thomas had sexually harassed her at the time senator biden was the chair of that all-male committee and he came off to many observers is not taking hills seriously. well now anita hill says that she will vote for biden. cnn's gloria borger spoke with hill and biden about their shared history. >>professor do you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god. >>was it scary. ellos terrifying he would call me into a soft it's been nearly 30 years since anita hill testified before a now infamous senate judiciary hearing led by joe biden you lay out she has come to a surprising conclusion would you like to see elected in november. >>i think joe biden is a person who should be elected in november and that's not all would you be willing to work with him. oh yes, my commitment is to finding solutions and i am more than willing to work with him i was very uncomfortable with the ideal became a household name testifying before the all-male committee during the supreme court confirmation of clarence thomas judge thomas began to use work situations to discuss. >>hill claimed thomas sexually harassed her when she worked for him at the equal employment opportunity commission. thomas vehemently denied those accusations as a black american as far as i'm concerned it is a high-tech lynching. >>he was confirmed to the supreme court after biden led the fight against him some say let the republicans can a takeover i don't think i did but the point was i wish i could have done it differently under the rules. >>in early 2019 just weeks before joe biden launched his campaign for president. hill got a phone call. >>i have apologized to need to tell the could have done better for her. the truth is i believe her and i believed he should not be in the court. >>you called the phone call on satisfying it didn't take responsibility he didn't hold himself accountable. and anyway except that he was sorry that i felt i wasn't treated fairly. >>but hill says she's been watching the selection closely and biden seems to be taking more responsibility now for her that's enough. >>this is not just about me. it's not just about joe biden it's about millions of people in this country and around the world that we can be a model for and i would love to be a part of that and if it means voting for joe biden so be it. >>a former senior trump administration official confirms to cnn that president trump referred to fallen us service members in crude and derogatory terms during a trip to france. back in 2018 the official confirmed reporting from the atlantic which cited sources who said the president called fallen soldiers quote losers and soccer's cnn's jeremy diamond has more. >>well the white house is still reeling from this report in the atlantic magazine that president trump referred to american soldiers who lost their lives in a critical battle in world war one as losers and suckers as he was deciding not to attend a ceremony at a cemetery where some of those were dead were buried and now a former senior administration official is confirming to my colleague jim acosta that the president did indeed referred to those american war dead in crude and derogatory terms of course president trump and the white house have vehemently denied this story insisting that the president has the utmost respect for veterans and service members the president saying even what kind of animal would refer to a dead american service members in such a fashion, but nonetheless now a former senior administration official confirming to cnn the president did indeed make those comments and in addition, another source who is familiar with some of the president's remarks has now told cnn that the president has also repeatedly questioned why vietnam war would have served in that war suggesting that those service members did not know how to get out of the draft how to work the system much in the way that the president himself did we know that president trump received multiple educational deferments to avoid serving in the vietnam war and he also ultimately received a medical after he got a doctor's note, claiming that the president had bone spurs making him ineligible for military service. jeremy diamond cnn, the white house. the president continued to deny the reports on saturday and instead attacked the atlantic reporter. >>who broke the story calling him a quote slime ball in another tweet the president also called on fox news to fire the reporter who confirmed parts of that planet report. >>a

everywhere really that helps you cool down a little bit it's a vapid of cooling a little bit of physics working for you that's why it's part of our evolution that helps out but you're losing water and you don't know what to keep the water bottles going even if you're not thirsty you're losing that water. now into tomorrow afternoon. we do the same thing this is actually starting today and we drop off from there now these numbers are artificially low because air temperatures are very very high. so it gives a little bit of a skewed view. now we are concerned with this dry air a little bit of an offshore wind developing potentially into tuesday wednesday that could be problematic. highs in the central valley today, one 15 plus in many locations, 95 in san francisco. one '04 for san diego so having said all that will go with a marina district about 86. expect even 80's happening along the coast here goodness 81 for half moon bay. as if there was a notion there 90's going on for the bay side of the peninsula. down south 100 plus like redwood city palo alto 99 for mountain dew in the south bay near one o 5 one 11 from morgan hill, a scout us about one o 9 east bay shoreline to the

get a shift in the winds here that can help one '02 going on for berkeley, jumping up to the north bay solano county is also on the one 10 plus category now to one '06 and we've got one '08 happening. for santa rosa, let's check out your seven-day there is a drop that happens midweek but it looks like we get some serious relief in here by friday into nice into the 80's smarty. well by any definition 2020 has been a tough year and talk about covid-19 a battered economy and job loss demonstrations for racial justice. >>and of course the wildfires all of this leaving many people dealing with feelings of stress isolation frustration and income some cases, desperation while september is national suicide prevention month and we want to focus this morning on suicide awareness education and outreach and joining me to do that is scott chavez from the contra costa crisis center scott good morning. >>good morning. can you tell us what your what your callers are telling your volunteers about the impact of covid-19 has had. >>on both their physical and emotional where well-being. >>the physical and emotional here at the contra costa crisis center. we answer the 2, 1, one line for information and referral for services and our own local crisis line for emotional crisis. and then also calls that come in on the national suicide prevention lifeline we also have grief services but on phone lines. then certainly there has been a tremendous increase in the number of people who are desperate related to practical needs. or rental assistance and ford job assistance and utility assistance and food. and so part of the 2, 1, one service is to let people know what resources are available. and there have been actually increased services increased funding for people affected by covid. and your question was also about the emotional side. so we have our emotional crisis line. and we also have that is our own local line and each of the counties has a local line and then we also are part of the national suicide prevention lifeline as all are all of the crisis centers around the bay area. so the calls have been coming in show desperation isolation, you know i thought of another would not only is there the social isolation, but in some cases, social i couldn't find another word but maybe suffocation and that is where people are stuck at home, yeah and the stresses are increased. so we get calls about that. so we got a call i remember while ago from a woman who a young adult who was living in an apartment with other young adults in indy first moments of the pandemic and the social social distancing. stay at home shelter in place that some of her roommates actually went off to their own families to stay there and then she felt left alone and she felt abandoned she did not feel drawn to go back to her own family that were stresses going on and so there she is in the midst of this situation. her own challenges challenges of development and growth in independence and career building in relationship building and then being isolated and alone. >>there there is so much that they have to deal with when people are so desperate. there's sometimes the fear i would think of reaching out for help in a stigma attached to reaching out. >>i'm so glad that people do find out and perhaps by these articles and these announcements of the lines and people do reach out and they are. reaching out even one perhaps other people around them are saying not to do that we got a call from a young person in college. and it was a lot of stress in the household this person would have been away at college but was stuck at home using zoom distance-learning by class the classroom, there. the father in the family was also going through a very difficult time. and in fact the father and the brother themselves we're talking about their own thoughts of suicide. so the caller to us felt very stressed wonder what to do to help the people in the family and to help himself because these people were putting a lot of pressure on him and they themselves did not believe in reaching out that is the other family members and then looked down upon this color. so the caller had to do it secretly. and i think it's great that people reach out going beyond the stigma. >>it really is and it's just too bad that there is still that 6 stigma attached to reaching out for help scott you mentioned it earlier in our interview and i'd like to come back to it a little bit more in depth tell us more about 2, 1, 1, and the services are provided there. >>so to one lane is a service that in california is county by county in most counties and it's throughout most of california all you do is dial 2, 1, 1, the call is directed based on where you are placing the call at the time. so if you and your phone or in contra costa need all to 1 one it will come to a shared our office. the 2, 1, 1, service is to know about what services are in the community it's information room for all we know what exists out there. now unfortunately there's not enough, but we know where you can get food where you can get rental assistance where you can get utility assistance where you can get counseling where you can get health services all sorts of social and health services are in the databases and by the way all those databases throughout california are available online to anyone 24 hours a day or you just dial 2, 1, 1, any time 24 hours a day to find out what is available to people in need scott that is literally a resource that you've talked about we want to put the information up on the screen sore viewers can get a good look at it. >>we'll also have it on our website and scott thank you so much and the crisis center for doing the work that you do again during this month,
