Lets get to our top story this morning, more businesses are being allowed to resume indoor operations today in Alameda County specifically in this includes restaurants, places of worship. Of course there are some restrictions obviously with the pandemic in the protocols are in place kron fours reyna harvey is live in alameda this morning with the details rana. Alameda county is taking steps in the right direction and just like churches behind me they can open up, but were not sure if churches are going to feel comfortable enough to open up i spoke to a pastor this morning. She tells me although they can open shes not going to resume service because she does not feel safe just yet. Churches are not the only places that can open a movie theaters as well as Indoor Dining and then bowling alleys you can also open their doors but theyre at 25 capacity, basically theyre saying if you have an institution you can at least a 100 people or less and theyre say which ever is the least amount of people in that either 25 or either a 100 or less like if you have a mega church. Not everybody can be able to come back to those searches at 25 capacity, so theyre trying to cap it and a little of note member to keep everybody safe returning to these businesses now like i mentioned weve people weighing in on how they feel about doors opening again in side take a yeah, i think its very exciting that our numbers are im concerned as in the rest of the country theyre not so it looks like any moment they can they can go up if were not very careful. I think we have to start somewhere so. So maybe this is a good start personally i i still not go do indoor im a im a posh serwer in fosse the were certainly not going to open up the chair chat. We dont think its its quite so have mixed feelings about it when it comes to i know this is happening because Alameda County is in the orange here weve been in the purple is been in the red and now we made it down to the orange steelwork cases are stable in terms of coronavirus so only time will tell next few days weeks and months if people are going to feel comfortable enough coming back to church and movie theaters and restaurants for now reporting here in alameda reyna harvey kron 4 news and well have to wait and see thank you reena. Time now is 9 o fives lets go to San Francisco now where the School District there says it will reopen for in Person Learning in january starting next year special education classes and preschools will reopen followed shortly by kindergartners and first graders the district at the moment is looking for provider who can conduct regular covid19 testing. 9 05 right now and in the south bay, they are reopening playgrounds in san jose kron 4 Sarah Stinson is live there. It sounds so easy just open the gates but theres a lot of sanitation that has to go on and that means parents because you know kids are going to do it. Say dari the kids are going to have a great time, its the parents who maybe well get to just sit on the bench and talk with their friends anymore theyll have to watch your kids more intently and make sure that they are breaking any rules and putting their hands in their mouths and keeping a mask on i mean its going to be difficult lets be real but the kids are going to have here at lens in park in san jose. This is example of one park that will be at the beginning to reopen today a total of 290 playgrounds and 36 exercise areas in several fake will open in several phases starting today. But heres the catch as i said the city says the playground equipment will not be sanitized so you need to use it at your own risk, however, theres a lot that is going to be done to remind you to do to take care of yourself as mutton of signage posted about guidelines to follow and it will be up to the pair. Will it ease with members of your own household because social gatherings are still prohibited wash or sanitize hands before and after using playground such equipment. Wear face coverings at all times and keep 6 feet of distance at least from those. Around you know sharing personal items or toys anymore bring wifes or something along the lines of that to sanitize the used equipment before and after use i think that will be very helpful. Now the city will be monitoring the parks and facilities to make sure people are being safe i caught up with one parent has been coming to this park for 10 years with his kids and hes excited to hear that its reopened and he says hes ready to follow these guidelines, its up to us to manage the cleanliness of our children so we had sanitizer. And cuba a safe. The kids up their hands and miles after they play is like that. Its working out really well so far. And the good news is parents have had some practice right in the last couple months anytime you go anywhere youre having to do these exact same now its got to be done at the playground and probably to another level because other kids and other parents etcetera if youre coming the playground make sure. That youre watching capacity if theres too many people make sure you need to leave the park limit your usage maybe 30 minutes so more people can enjoy. And another thing reopening, good news hoops and nets basketball and volleyball can. Commence yet again, i mean its been what 7 months and people loved playing basketball outside at the local parks and us in the next several weeks will be able to do it again, but you still have to keep that distance and thats going to be quite difficult. A few suggestions from us here at kron 4 main play a game of horse. Maybe a you know just shoot the ball solo practice on your dribbling i dont know do something fun like that at least you can get out there and shoot ball in hoop, its been a long time has been able to do that lives and as a all send it back to you of being a parent now of little kids is so much different than it was when i. Had my little ones you know, i mean you got your hands full i just have to you know make sure that i brought some goldfish now youve got to have your lysol and sanitizer bottles and you know you hover parent right. You yeah, i hope by the time. I dont buy them. I have kids that this is all over but thats Wishful Thinking yeah now will say all right, thanks a lot sarah. Coronavirus cases are. Ise ing sometimes you know they were calling in a second we have a 3rd wave or just this this is just still part of the pandemic weve never really shaken it. We got word now that the u. S. Just had the highest yesterday was a record case number of cases there are more than 77,000 cases. Yesterday alone. Its important to note that cases are increasing in almost every state now james. There has been major progress in the worlds fight against covid19 the first drug to treat the virus has now been approved by the fda rimmed as severe which probably heard that in the news, its in. Its a medicine that for patients who needed that have been hospitalized before getting approval from the fda course it was authorized for emergency use only that was back in the spring. The drug comes though with a hefty price tag to cost more than 2000 for people covered by Government Health programs and the price could go up to more than 3,000 for people who have private insurance. Time now is 9. 10 and big story. The Scott Peterson murder case is returning to a courtroom this morning yeah judge ordered the case be reexamined because of possible juror misconduct for more on the story, lets go out live to kron fours will tran hes standing by at the courthouse in modesto well. Were 35 minutes into the Court Proceedings and so far Scott Petersons case has not come up yet we have a reporter inside well let you know this is the first time Scott Peterson will be back inside a courtroom in 16 years after he was convicted of killing his wife lacy and their unborn child who they were going to name connor race. He was 8 months pregnant at the time. He is not physically back inside the modesto courtroom, but instead he will do it Video Conference call from san quentin where hes been for the past 16 years that the judge in this case will decide whether or not he will get a public defender or that he will decide on getting his own private attorney to represent him for the penalty phase turns out upon discovery that they found out that back in 2004 when this case was in the court system that there was a juror in that case she did not give all of her information to the courts meaning that when they found out that she possibly has a conflict of interests and that she might not have been fair in her ruling and thats why they want to revisit this as far as the penalty phase. And on top of that james and area 2 months ago the California Supreme Court overturned. His death penalty. There is a long shot, there is a long game to all of this because his attorneys might ultimately asked for a new trial and then this starts all over again but it doesnt mean and i know a lot of people they do not like Scott Peterson lets face that they do not like does not mean that he goes free. It means that they were what they could be a new trial and if there is thats years down the road Scott Peterson and Lacey Peterson they lived in modesto at time she was a substitute teacher, he was a fertilizer salesman and if you might recall he told his wife at the time claiming on christmas eve. She was 8 months pregnant that he was going to go by himself 90 miles away to go fishing in San Francisco bay. Lacy peterson it was never seen again until unfortunately her body washed ashore in San Francisco bay. 4 months later back to you. Hart thank you very much well. 9. 12 is the time and still ahead on the kron 00 04am morning news, the president ial debate between president trump. And the candidate joe biden is in the and President Donald Trump and democratic nominee joe biden squared off in nashville last night for their final president ial debate they did it was a key showdown were less than 2 weeks now before election day greg hurst joining us live from nashville. This morning with more on what we saw greg. It was indeed a showdown there was a lot on the line last night the polls giving the impression, joe biden has the national lead. He certainly didnt want to do anything to jeopardize that and the president came into this debate with many telling him he needs to make up some ground and convince americans hes still the best commander in chief. Now while its clear the stakes were high. Both men stepped into that ring like prize fighters throwing big haymakers and hoping for a knockout punch. But after last nights debate. It appears both men are still standing. You have not released a single solitary year of your tax return. What are you hiding. Why are you on willie to Foreign Countries are paying you a lot. Russias pain you a lot chinas paying a lot i dont make money from china you do i dont make money from ukraine you do i dont make money from russia. Made 3 and half Million Dollars joe and his son gave you they even have a statement that we have to give 10 to the big man youre the big man i think they accuse each other of corruption and influencepeddling taking money from foreign governments and cheating american taxpayers. And then finally got down to talking about issues like coronavirus. It will go away and as i say were rounding the turn we a problem thats a worldwide problem, this is a worldwide problem, but ive been congratulated by the heads of many countries on what weve been able to do 220,000 americans dead anyone is response for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of america, the debate shifting to social unrest across the country we have to provide for Economic Opportunity better education. Better Health Care Better access to schooling better access to opportunity to borrow money to start businesses. Trump firing back touting his efforts to reform the criminal Justice System nobody has done more for the black community and donald trump. And if you look with the exception of Abraham Lincoln possible exception, but the exception of Abraham Lincoln. Nobody has done what ive done another key topic on the night health care. The president criticizing bidens plan because it includes a government option for health insurance, he want socialized medicine and its not that he wanted his Vice President , i mean. She is is more liberal than bernie sanders, but biden is standing by his plan emphasizing Health Care Reform the difference between the president i think health care is not a privilege, its a right. Everyone should have the right to have Affordable Health care this is something thats going to save peoples lives. Well a much better debate in the first there was more policy discussion there were fewer interruptions and both men got in their jabs a strong push from both candidates with election day so close but anyone hoping for that knockout puncw will apparently have to wait at least 11 more days. A lot of from the president ial debate in nashville. Im greg hurst. All right the time now is 9. 18 now 9. 19 lets get a check of the weather. It looks pretty nice outside it does as we can yes we have everybody gets a we all these windows now and it is very looking outside and getting a little bit of a brighter view. Looking out there at San Francisco right now as well as across the most other air that parts of the bay area, lets get a look at that what we are going to be seeing is those bright skies for many parts of the region sfo, one of those areas. Theres so much says there we go that was a lot of suspense right there for that that fo now that the suspense is done, lets look at the winds because thats unfortunately the really the big where we have been the cooler day the sunshine. The winds, the catch to that you can see outside winds. Calm right now but picking up this afternoon as for tomorrow morning, another calm start to your saturday picking back up into saturday afternoon but sunday is the day that all eyes are on sunday leading into monday morning. These days right here going to be bringing likely one of the biggest wind events of the year with gusts as high as 50 Miles Per Hour. And some of these gusts in areas that arent even prone to them during our typical wind event like San Francisco Oakland Hayward north bay obviously going to be checking in with some of significant winds as we have seen so many times this year leading up to this. So where are we at with advisories will red flag warnings have now expired for most of the bay solano lake and mendocino counties are your remaining spots in the bay area at least that are still under red flag warnings just until the evening tonight, these golden areas on the map for the Santa Cruz Mountains most of the north bay in the inland east bay. These are a combination of both fire weather watches in wind advisories that will take effect at 11 00am on sunday and last through 11 00am on monday because of the strong winds that will be whipping up the risk here is well we are going to be looking at very dry humidity. Plenty of dry tinder grasses in bushs as we have been seeing the lack of rainfall so far this season and that means that even with temperatures as cool as they will be with the gusty winds from 30 to 50 Miles Per Hour and that low humidity very dry conditions. We do have strong risk of wildfires yet again to close out the weekend sunday and start off next workweek on monday. As for today a breather from all of t
