Thank you so much dan now on the state level california is now working with neighboring states to issue a travel advisory ahead of the busy travel season. Our capitol reporter Ashley Zavala joins us now live from sacramento with details ashleigh whats going on here. Yeah justine will since the start of the pandemic state leaders have really waved off any kind of mandatory quarantine for travelers but that changes now with the recommendation again the states Top Health Official clarifying that this is only a recommendation but for now. It is an up and it is a restriction this is an advisory as of friday california is asking all travelers coming into the state to selfisolate for 14 days, the advisory aims to discourage Holiday Travel. It does not was concerned for any specific states regions or countries, oregon and washington announced a similar move if theres any indication that the travel advisory needs to be strength and we will consider that in the days and weeks to come what could be strengthened the states restrictions on the economy doctor galley made it clear california will not return to a full statewide stayathome order for now but more rules to the states reopening tier system could be coming including for the most restrictive tier purple widespread Health Leaders are also considering having counties fall back in tears faster today really have counties move back just one tear at a time that may not be appropriate to get the kind of response that we need to blunt that rate of rise. Now on that travel advisory to make the quarantine mandatory would likely have to be done by the governors executive order. But as weve been reporting a Centre County judge actually put a limit on the governors executive order power for now during this pandemic state leaders would not say whether that played a part in this only being a recommendation. Reporting live in sacramento, Ashley Zavala kron 4 news. Thank you so much actually and governor Gavin Newsome is also apologizing today for attending a Birthday Dinner for a friend in napa county.

And next just heard from President Trump for the first time in more than a week. What he just said about the timing of a Coronavirus Vaccine and is the u. S. Ready to concede President Trump gave an update this afternoon on the ongoing effort to get a covid19 vaccine, but he didnt take any questions and hes still not conceding the race to joe biden Catherine Heenan the host of inside bay area politics is here now with more this is the first time weve heard for the president in about a week yeah, in days just saying we havent heard anything which is not particularly typical of this president. He was adamant about not returning the nation to lockdown status even though covid cases continue to climb. And in doing so he seem to at least acknowledge that the next administration might not be according to some estimates a National Lockdown cost 50 billion dollars a day. And hundreds of thousands of jobs every single day. Ideally we wont go to a lockdown i will not go this administration will not be going to a lockdown hopefully the whatever happens in the future who knows which administration will be i guess time will tell but i can tell you this administration will not go to a lockdown they want. The necessity lockdowns cost lives and they cost a lot of problems the cure. Can not be. You got to remember cannot be worse than the problem itself. Well among the people watching and listening this afternoon our political analyst David Mckeown i asked him what he thought. The president seems somewhat subdued from his normal hes been quite the fighter via twitter and really on the campaign trail and all year long about the impact of covid and the pandemic on his presidency, it did point to the upturn in economic numbers for the Current Quarter and what that looks like and and what the administration likes to talk about as a vshaped recovery, its probably more of a k shaped recovery high workers doing okay lowwage workers still waiting and and worried about that, but the president and then turning over the microphone to to folks who are running the vaccinations and the development of operation warp speed what that looks like the president really in some ways seem like he was turning a page on himself despite the of nations nature of what hes been doing through social media in arguing that hes still going to be president. Into a Second Administration it was an interesting if subdued contrast to where hes been say the past 6 months or the past year. And we will hear more from mckeown at 5, 6 including his reaction to the fact a lot of former public Officials Say the Trump Administration must allow the biden team access to intelligence briefings. They say the continued refusal to do that is a risk to National Security justine thank you so much katherine will see tonight at 5, 6, now convicted murderer Scott Peterson spoke during his Court Appearance today in redwood city. Kron fours call was there and has details on the future of petersons case. At least for the time being convicted murderer Scott Peterson will remain on death row at san quentin state prison. The only person to physically appear in the courtroom at the hall of justice in redwood city was the superior court judge. Peter saying his defense and prosecutors all joined virtually at issue was whether or not the court would order peterson to be relocated from prison to the San Mateo County jail to allow him and his lawyers, easier access to one another ahead of future hearings. But the defense stated they were pleased with the access they have to their client on death row and that a transfer would be an unnecessary risk while covid19 continues to spread. The judge decided peterson can stay in prison. Legal analyst paula canny reacts its completely appropriate nothing is going to happen anytime soon in his case, the court hasnt made many important decisions. Like is the only next thing going to be a penalty phase or is court going rule on the haiti and ultimately decide that Scott Peterson is entitled to a new trial based on juror misconduct. So. Its completely appropriate that scott stay on death row peterson also waived his right to a speedy trial and reiterated his complete confidence in defense attorney pat harris adding that he had lost all faith in his original attorneys mark geragos. In august, the state Supreme Court overturned petersons death sentence because jurors who opposed Capital Punishment were improperly dismissed before the trial. His conviction was upheld but prosecutors have committed to re seek the Death Penalty in 2005 peterson was found guilty of killing his wife lacy and unborn child at some future point lets say there is a whole new trial.
