To sipriani boulevard. Well update this two situation as it develops.

Back now to the problems with the edd. If you need to file for new unemployment payments, youll have to wait two weeks. Thats because the state says the two week shut down should help speed up problems with the system and help get your payments. Tom evacuation joins us now live with a look at some of the big problems facing the systems and how they plan to fix it. Tom . Well, advised that given the States History of making changes, the edd is making plans in this plan goes awry. The backlog has been grow big 10,000 applications every day, is over the weekend, the edd announced it will not accept new Unemployment Insurance applications for two weeks, so it can install a new system to speed up the whole process. This will process about 90 automatically, of all of the new application. Reporter thats one of many suggestions made by the governors edd task force. Our report, which we have provided to edd, is over 70 recommendations. Reporter prior to this reports, edd was taking senior claims processers off processing to teach thousands of new hires how to process claims. What the task force soon found out was by taking experienced people off their other work, that was having a Significant Impact to increasing the backlog. Upgrading what can only be called an ancient Computer System is a high fasttrack priority because in uploading documents, the system cannot read some of them. The Computer System that goes back to the old cobalt system of the 1960s and 1970s. Reporter one example . The old system cannot see the color red. The color that shows your drivers license number and expiration. That need to be upgraded. Frankly, need to just simply be strewn to the waste bin of history. Reporter the major priority clear Third Quarter claims backlog as fast as humanly and technically possible. Well be clearing backlog every single day between now and january. Substantially address the back lock over the next 90 to 100 days with the goal to have addressed it and not impact any people that are applying for the first time. Now make no mistake, the root cause of all of the edds problems was the pandemic. It was, is, and will remain a problem for the foresee be future, because of the overwhelming number of claims that completely swamped it, with more claims than they saw even during the great recession. Tom vacar, ktvu fox 2s in. Tom, just quickly, its not just a problem with a huge backlog. As weve been reporting, there are also allegations of fraud facing the edd. Reporter all of this foes together because of the mass numbers. You have to understand this, that in january and february, before all of this happened, the edd was processing about 24,000 claims a month. Since the pandemic, a half a million claims when they see a real opportunity, they go for it, and theyve had some success. But each and every day, we learn about what theyre doing and are doing a better job of stopping it. Thanks, tom. Now to the death of u. S. Supreme Court Justice ruth bader ginsburg.

Joe fonzi will be here with the latest on the major injuries suffered during yesterdays 49ers game against the jets. We are looking at the air quality, a little bit of air out there today that wasnt great. Well talk about the improvements coming, and a kind of mild weather pattern. The fiveday forecast and your forecast for tuesday coming up. On wall street, stocks made a comeback late in the day after a major selloff earlier this morning. The dow was down 059 points, just under 2 at the end of trading, but at one point, it had been down more than 900 points. The s p was down 38.

Analyst say this highlights the inequalities in the recovery, with the lowest paying jobs hit the hardest by the reception. The 49ers have their first win of the season, but it came at a cost. A steep one. Injuries, the key players piled up. Joe fonzi joins us with an update on those injuries. Joe . Yeah, julie, the 49ers feared bad news when todays Injury Report was finalized, and thats exactly what they got. They have a rash of injuries in their win yesterday over the new york jets and found out today that one of those injuries is season ending. In just the 49ers second defensive series, last seasons defensive rookie of the year, nick bosa went down. He had his knee crumpled in the pile on a frank gore running play and had to be cut off field. Coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game yesterday that he feared an acl tear, and that was confirmed by an mri today. Bosa is out for the season. He knows a Little Something about rehabbing an injury. He suffered a core injury after just three games of his junior year at ohio state, ending his college career. Its a blow to the 49ers, but they still have 14 games to play. You cant do it with one guy. Everyone has to step it up. Everybody knows how great of a player nick is. Team goes through this. We lost our quarterback at the beginning to the year two years ago. You lose a guy like that, and its tough, but you can look in our room and know there are still last guys who will go out there and play good football and show up for every game. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has a high ankle sprain after yesterdays game. Me has not been ruled out of sundays game. Solomon thomas also injured his knee, but it is not expected to be as severe as nick bosa. Raheem mostert and Kevin Coleman also suffered injuries. This new turf at the stadium in the meadowlands is being need a lot of these injuries, to both teams, and the 49ers have to play on that same turf for their next game as they take on the new york giants. Kyle shanahan was talking about that turf being sticky, or possibly leading to that injuries. Do other stadiums have new turf like met life stadium . Well, the thing with the field turf is they put new turf in about every six or seven years, and when it is new, it has a tendency to be sticky. By all accounts that was the first game played on that turf yesterday. But ive said this for years, especially in a multibillion dollar industry like the nfl, the jets and giants share a stadium. That means there are a total of 16 games on that field. The rest of the teams play 8 times on a field, and as far as im concerned there is absolutely no excuse in the nfl for games not to be played on real grass, and that would not get rid of all of the injuries, but certainly those sticky surf injuries would not be an issue. Yeah. All right, joe fonzi reporting live for us tonight. Joe, thank you. Now to our weather, and our air quality. Here is a live look at our mount diablo camera. Concerns have improve murder will so that today is not a spare the air day, and at least we can see mount diablo here. Bill, what is it like out there . Well, ill get to that, frank. But im wondering what your thoughts on this the turf think that joe was taking about . The niners, i wonder if there is something to do with not having a preseason . Are people exploring that in terms of these injuries. Because these guys are not warmed up when they hit the game at full speed. I dont know, bill, knights turf, its sticky, your foot sticks and all of a sudden your knee bends . I have to agree with joe, youre playing 8 games a year on the turf, or the case of new jersey there, youre playing 16 games. Why not just have real grass . Why not . Well, and i get that. I just keep go back to when you dont have a preseason, youre used to a preseason, and those guys can hit the field 100 . These guys went into it full speed, week one, week two, but, anyway, its a huge story. Ill chat you about it. Okay. So as you look at the air quality right now, it is, as frank mentioned, its not great, but its below a spare the air alert. Its just not great. The yellows, that represents not so good. We described a little bit of wind blowing out of the north yesterday, and a little bit this morning, and that smoke, the dust smoke from some of those northern fires worked their way in. As you can see, these yellows are soon to turn to green, because we have a nice little westerly flow blowing now that is going to allow most of the bay area to clear out pretty quick. Theres the fog. And you probably noticed this afternoon, we had a lot more clearing this afternoon than we did this morning. And as you look at the fog coming in. Its going to be a nice day again tomorrow. It doesnt get hot, but well be deal with a little bit of air quality and dealing with some heat toward this end of the fiveday, towards the weekend, end of the weekend. So nation look at tomorrow. Not hot, better air quality. Fog at the coast. Were looking forward to the weekend next time i see you. All right, bill, thank you.
