>> that's a great shot. >> i was telling my kids -- tired of hearing me talk -- but in the last 15, 20 years look at these buildings, this is all new. in this part of town here you get down to the ballpark, there's all this work, it's becoming a multiple use area. you're going to see more buildings, more people living. when i was a kid, nobody went down there. it was kind of shipyards. there was the ramp, a bar we'd all go to, but not many people on that side of town. this low pressure system hangs out, keeps things cool, morning fog back and highs in the inland valley upper 80s, low 90s. it will be cooler, but the fire danger should take a break. >> i remember standing down there when they were talking about building at&t park and i was standing where home plate needs to be on an old dilapidated warehouse dock. >> it's amazing what they're doing. the city hasn't doubled in size, but that left side, that south market area is going off. >> wait until the tower gets built. >> thanks, bill. a new study doubles the number of people identifying as transgendered in the u.s., the results reaped on the same day the u.s. military lifts a ban on transgender people -- released the same day u.s. military lifts a ban on transgender people in the military. >> continuing coverage on the contra costa deputy who resigned today, more on his involvement in the offend sexual misconduct scandal -- in the opd sexual misconduct scandal. today the u.s. military lifted its ban on transgender people serving openly in uniform. by october transgender troops already serving should be able to receive medical care and formally change their gender identifications within the pentagon. while many are praising the move as historic, some senior military leaders say more time is needed to get ready. the military will have a year to fully implement the policy. defense secretary ash carter says it is the right thing to do. >> our mission is to defend this country and we don't want barriers unrelated to a person's qualification to serve preventing us from recruiting or retaining the soldier, sailor, airman or marine who can best accomplish the mission. >> the defense secretary says studies estimated there are between 4 to 12,000 transgender service members out of about 2 million active duty and reserve service members. a new report out of ucla finds about 1.4 million americans identify as transgender. that's just over 1/2 of 1% of the u.s. population. that's about twice the previous estimate. researchers say the increase is likely due to more visibility and acceptance of transgender people in recent years. california, hawaii, new mexico and georgia are the states with the highest percentage of transgender adults. the study is the first to look at all 50 states. the u.s. navy issued a scathing report about the capture of two patrol boats in january by iranians. two patrol boats strayed into iranian waters. the navy blasted the sailors who surrendered saying they violated military policy by talking to their captors. >> the investigation found a lack of leadership, a disregard for risk management processes and proper mission planning standards. >> in total nine members of the navy face discipline. last week the navy announced it fired the commander of the task force overseeing those boats. a chance encounter between u.s. attorney general loretta lynch and former president bill clinton is raising questions. the two crossed paths at the airport monday. there's speculation about whether they spoke about the justice department investigation into hillary clinton's use of a private e- mail server. lynch said the former president did approach her and her husband but only to say hello and talked about grandchildren and travels. she said there was no discussion about the investigation. still ahead tonight a federal investigation into tesla's auto pilot feature, it comes after a deadly crash where the driver was using ought open pilot, coming up -- auto pilot, coming up what we've discovered about the crash. >> coming up the judge that sentenced a stanford swimmer and why some say he gave him preferential treatment. >> i sort of gave up on it. i changed my hours of work. >> now she may be able to change those hours back. we got our first look at a brand-new b.a.r.t. car for an east bay extension. federal authorities are investigating the design and so- called performance of tesla's auto pilot feature, this after the first fatal accident linked to any self-driving car took place last month. jesse gary is live outside the tesla facility in fremont. were you able to talk with anyone about this? >> reporter: i had a brief text conversation with a tesla official who would not do an on camera interview but pointed me to a blog. in the blog the company said there are extremely rare circumstances surrounding this fatal accident. let's look at our video. the accident involved a tesla model s like the ones you see in the video. the driver identified as joshua brown was traveling in may in a divided freeway near levy county, florida. a tractor trailer crossed the roadway in front of brown's tesla which was operating in the auto pilot mode. apparently the car system could not detect the white side of the truck against the bright sky. the brakes did not engage. the tesla traveling at a pretty good trip slammed into the truck. the roof's windshield hit the underbelly of the truck killing josh brown. the company's blog says employees extend deepest sympathies to josh brown's family and add they, employees, are beyond saddened by their loss. brown was a friend to tesla and the broader ev community, a person who spent his life focused on innovation and the promise of technology and who believed strongly in tesla's mission. the national highway traffic safety administration investigation into this fatal accident is still in its infancy. >> can you tell us more about the auto pilot system, how it 2 ? are there safeguards? -- how it works? are there safeguards? >> reporter: now this is not a tesla model s, but i'm giving you an idea what they're talking about. when you're in the vehicle, you have to be completely engaged. so you have to be in the seat and your hand has to be on the steering wheel at all times. if your hand is not on the wheel, there is a warning that comes on, both a chime and audible message that says hands on wheel, hands on wheel. if you don't put your hands back on the steering wheel, the car will start to slow down until you put your hands back on the wheel. there are messages and prompts that let you know this is an auto pilot, but the driver has to be engaged. it's not like you can sit in the passenger seat and let the car drive itself. there are safety measures built into the system. the question is what happened? the sensors didn't notice the truck because of the bright sky. what happened to mr. brown? did he not see the vehicle? sometimes if you're driving any kind of vehicle, you can be distracted for a moment, look up and you're barreling down on a vehicle. we'll end with this. tesla referenced the number of crashes in the millions per driver and the automated system that they have that was involved in this crash has a better i guess average than a human driver, but, of course, because it was the first one there's going to be increased scrutiny because they want to make sure this 10 -- technology is safe before it's out there en masse. >> thanks, jesse. the same judge who sentenced a stanford students to six months in jail spore for sexual assault, it's said the judge gave brock turner preferential turner. they say the three year sentence for raul ramirez from el salvador is much harsher than that given to turner. there's an effort for a recall, but several law school graduates are coming to persky's offense saying the cases aren't similar and recalling the judge taints the judicial process. >> we believe the campaign to recall judge persky is righteous in its motivation, wrong in its approach because the evidence shows us when we subject judges to election, it distorts their decision making. >> raul ramirez was a no show for his court date this morning. judge persky revoked his bail and issued an arrest warrant for his capture. commuters in eastern contra costa county will tell you rush hour can be a nightmare, but today b.a.r.t. unveiled what could be a big part of the solution. it's a batter extension from the pittsburg batter station to antioch. we got a look inside these brand-new cars. [ horns. [ . >> reporter: that is the sound of relief to thousands of b.a.r.t. passengers and contra costa county commuters. today b.a.r.t. unveiled its first new special coaches called e b.a.r.t. the new line will connect to b.a.r.t. but operate on separate tracks. it will run 10 miles from antioch near hillcrest avenue to the pittsburg bay point b.a.r.t. station with a stop in pittsburg in between. the trip is expected to take 60 minutes each way. >> it's a new technology. >> reporter: the new antioch station will have 1,000 parking spaces. that will help commuters who don't have to drive making highway 4 often unbearable during rush hour. >> bumper to bumper for quite a long ways. yeah, i sort of gave up. i changed my hours of work. >> if you can get people out of their cars, reduce their air pollutions and emissions from cars and provide more service, it's a direct connection to b.a.r.t. >> reporter: b.a.r.t. as ordered eight coaches. eight coach holds 100 people. the seats are comfortable, plenty of leg room, nice big windows and the air conditioning is amazing. b.a.r.t. says the trains are smaller, easier to maintain and fuel efficient. the new extension is expected to be up and running at least by early 2018 and quite possibly the end of next year, rob roth, ktvu fox 2 news. >> b.a.r.t. is working on its expansion to the south bay. late this summer the warm springs extension will open. that will add almost 5 1/2 miles of new tracks from the existing fremont station south to the warm springs district in fremont and eventually go farther south to san jose. work on those lines and stations have been going on for four years. late this season the smart train will open in the north bay. phase two will extend the track south to the larkspur ferry and north to cloverdale. coming up tolls are going up tomorrow. still ahead a comparison of the most expensive tolls in the u.s. and where the bay area fits in. >> more than 2,000 homes are threatened by this fire burning in the sierra foothills. fire crews are struggling to contain a wildfire that straddles placer and el dorado counties. it now is threatening 2,600 homes. many residents are under evacuation orders. the trailhead fire is burning in steep terrain and is tough to fight, but firefighters have 12% containment. it started tuesday afternoon on a trail near the middle fork of the american river and has now burned more than 1,200 acres in both placer and el dorado counties. vicky gonzalez has more from georgetown in el dorado county. >> reporter: a view that competes with the horizon now taking in the magnitude of the trailhead fire. >> it looks like there's two primarily active areas of the fire. >> reporter: it was here at bald mountain lookout where the first flames were spotted. is this a particularly active time in the afternoon going into evening hours? >> absolutely. >> reporter: with high reaching flames still visible miles away capturing a wildfire far from containment. >> it helps build a picture of what the fire may potentially do. >> reporter: with healthy amounts of ground fuel ready to burn, we're in the el dorado national forest in the area of volcanoville where there is a voluntary evacuation combating the trailhead fire. we want to give you a good vantage point of how difficult this terrain is. we've been talking about how remote this location is, a challenge for ground firefighters to combat this wildfire that has been overwhelmingly fought with air crews, but it's up high where jonathan takes in a forest he loves. >> it's a beautiful view. it's a shame it's under these conditions. >> reporter: hoping and working for nature's beauty to return. starting tomorrow it will cost more to drive across the golden gate bridge into san francisco. tolls are going up to 6.50 with fastrak. if you don't have fastrak, it's 7.50. carpoolers pay 4.50. the toll increase is to offset a budget shortfall for the bridge district. for perspective here are the most expensive tolls in the country. the most expensive bridge to cross in the u.s. is the chesapeake bay bridge in virginia of a toll of $18. no. 2 the verrazano bridge in new york at $16.14 the bay owned bridge, george washington bridge and the holland tunnel tied for no. 3. i'm scott reese reiss live at the oakland coliseum where the giants will go for their sweep. we'll tell you all about it in a couple moments. >> temperatures will be a little cooler for the holiday, what to expect for your backyard. the oakland a's are going for a four-game sweep of the san francisco giants tonight. >> i don't think anybody on either side of the bay saw that one coming. ktvu's scott reiss is live with the pregame warm-ups underway. >> reporter: it would have been hard to predict this especially with the giants having won 13 of their last 15 game. they've been a bit blindsided as the a's who were teetering on last place prior to this series and then in oakland last night the third of four games. behind me the giants are taking infield warm-ups. they will have batting practice when they are done. bruce bochy addressed the media and said hey, this is baseball. it happens. we are a little banged up. the a's have taken advantage and scored 28 runs in the three winds this week and they have a chance to do something nobody has ever done. that is sweep a regular season bay bridge series. so yes, a chance to make history in oakland. >> we have to get there first, but winning the first three felt good so far. we've talked about earlier we played better in anaheim and offensively we're playing a lot better and it's carried over to the series. still got a lot of work to do and a very tough customer i'm dealing tonight with madison bumgarner, so far so good the first three games. >> yeah. it's been awesome. we're playing really good baseball and getting healthy at the same time. it's an exciting time. this series always feels kind of playoffish. so for us to have a chance to sweep them, two at their place and at home here, it's fun for us. >> reporter: you heard bob melvin mention facing madison bumgarner tonight pitching for the giants and that brings us to another potential nugget of history. this is the first time in 40 years a national league skipper intentionally penciled in his hitter. it's happened oddly enough by accident when joe maddon in advertently put his pitcher on the lineup card, but bruce bochy had every intention of letting that go down tonight, kind of an oddity. >> that will be fun to see. it looks like good weather, sunny and not foggy. >> reporter: playoffish, i like that. let's get another check of the weather now and it was another hot one inland. >> mid-90s like your house was probably 95 today. >> i kept thinking it was going to be cooler, but it was hot. >> we had some 95s inland. 3 are the highs from today. there's a lot of fog this morning. 97 in antioch, 98 in livermore. mark knew it would be 98 in livermore. i was thinking 95. 79 in vallejo the official highs from today and tomorrow about the same, a little cooler inland. we'll stay in a little cool pattern as we go towards the bay area weekend because right above my head is that little pressure center that will drop down and break up the high pressure that usually is here that was here last week with near record temperatures, triple digit heat. we've got the high gone and get cooler weather. along the spine of the sierra nevada we do have some thunderstorms, most of those just east of bishop now, expect some more tomorrow especially in the southern part of the sierra nevada. the fog along the coast, the marine layer got up to 1,800 feet last night. we'll see plenty of fog in the morning hours and nice breezy conditions. tomorrow will be very similar but i think that 96 in fairfield will be more like 93 at this time tomorrow. out on the bay you can see the winds kicking up a little bit. i think the tide is coming in. when the tide goes out and the wind comes in, you'll get more white caps. low pressure to the north of us and sets us up with a much better fire danger situation. fire danger always high just because it's that time of year, but when that low gets there, look what it does. most of us in the bay area will be 60s, 70s or mid-and upper 80s. in the hotspots you'll find 90s, but heading towards your bay area weekend, even sacramento will be in upper 80s, low 90s. that's good news for a weekend often celebrated with fireworks and sparklers. 86 in napa, 83 vallejo. the temperature jumps once you get away from the cool marine air. these are the forecast highs for friday, big holiday weekend. i hope you have some big plans. be safe. along the coast there's been a lot of south swell. those waves create wave sets they call sneaker sets. south swells come from so far away, usually southern hemisphere. so they create these big gaps between waves. be safe at the coast and fireworks and don't drink too much and drink plenty of fluids. >> but have fun. >> you're killing the fun right now. >> sound like an old man. i just kind of worry about everybody. july is one of those crazy nutty times. >> you don't want to hear the story the next day about someone who blew off the finger. it would be all over youtube. >> eight beers and 10 pounds of fireworks, what could go wrong? coming up the latest blows to isis fighters and the strategy in iraq and afghanistan. >> also coming up another shakeup in the ongoing misconduct scandal involving the oakland police department. another officer resigned, but this time it's not an oakland police officer off the job. >> tougher gun laws in california are one step closer to reality. the contents of former president ronald reagan's home are about to be auctioned off. christie's auction house announced the two day sale is set for september in new york city. it includes more than 800 items of furniture, painting, books and jewelry. proceeds of the sale will go to the ronald reagan presidential foundation and institute. community leaders and lawmakers held an anti-violence rally in front of the state capitol in sacramento today where protesters clashed last sunday. 10 people were injured when a neo-nazi group showed up to fight with people to counter protest. the melee lasted about 20 minutes and when it was over seven people had been stabbed. >> today we stand together to show those who promote hatred and violence that we will not accept it in our community. >> so far police have not made arrests but are attempting to identify the attackers from video footage. trending overseas to what administration critics call one step forward, one step back. a coalition airstrike killed hundreds of isis fighters in iraq touted by the white house while another horrific terrorist attack in afghanistan raises questions about the way forward there. we have the report from the white house. >> reporter: white house officials seemed almost eager to share the details about the airstrike that leveled two isis convoys leaving the iraqi city of fallujah over two days. >> i think it's a pretty substantial indication of the kind of pressure that isil is under and the success that we're having in developing targets and acting against them in short order. >> reporter: lead by iraqi security forces the airstrikes killed upward of 250 militants and destroyed about 175 vehicles and comes just days after the iraqi military announced that its troops had seized fallujah from isis, a strategic success as coalition forces prepared to attack another insurgent stronghold, mosul. in afghanistan the situation on the ground has worsened. taliban militants launched an attack on an afghan police cadet convoy killing at least 30 people and wounding 50 more even targeting those who came to help the injured, proof say experts that the administration's plans for the region are only making marginal gains at best. >> right now the administration would like to have you believe the iraqis stepped up taking control of operations in iraq and nat afghan government ising canning a -- that the afghan government is conducting a more positive control of their theater of operations. i think those are more talking point and less solidified. >> reporter: more reaction to the devastating attack by the taliban in afghanistan, brigadier general charles cleveland
