go up right now at 6:00. fire raging in wine country. parts of sonoma up in flames with only a portion of the blaze contained. what's happening right now? and counting down to the presidential showdown, the long awaited debate between president biden and former president trump, the biden administration taking a strong stand on immigration, the new policies he's advocating for today on the campaign trail. can you hear an occasional like a skidding or a screeching at night, though this went on and on and on. plus a new will rest in a story we

brought you just yesterday. south bay officers working to get to the bottom of a rowdy weekend sideshow this this is today in the bay. a good morning to you on this tuesday, i'm marcus washington and i'm laura garcia. let's get back to that fire that we're talking about. it's burning up in sonoma county. the point fire burning just over 1200 acres. and it's still only 20% contained. we have team coverage following every aspect of this fire. let's first go to today in the bay's ginger conejero saab. she's live for us at the cal fire sonoma air attack base in santa rosa. and ginger, that threat certainly not over at this point . no, it is not. marcus and laura, we do know that there are some signs of progress that have been made. but yes, you are correct. the threat is not over. we are here at the santa rosa airport or sonoma county airport, which is also home to cal fire's air attack base. here in sonoma county, you can see

cal fire's planes behind us. they're still parked, of course, this morning, as they didn't fly overnight. but we can expect them to be back at work later this morning and later on to the day. they were hard at work yesterday, keeping this fire at just over 1200 acres and 20% contained. sonoma county declared a local state of emergency yesterday. now people in neighboring healdsburg know this threat all too well. they are familiar with the smell of wildfire smoke this time of year and that orange hued skyline because of the nearby point fire threatening homes under evacuation orders. as cal fire says crews as of yesterday made good progress, progress and were able to move in to fight the fire. the big thing is when we get those areas where we might have flare ups, those are the areas of concern. just because those increase in fire activity is what i want to say, could possibly jump the line, things like that. but our crews have worked quite a bit to make sure

that that doesn't occur. and we can expect that focus to remain there this morning. and into the day, stopping it from growing the fire just now, over 1200 acres as of last update, more than 400 fire personnel are on scene to battle the flames. with an evacuation order in place for people living in the area of dry creek valley, which is home to several private vineyards. so far, two structures have burned, but cal fire says the point fire isn't actively threatening any others at this time. now, those homes in that area as well, along dry creek road, those are most at risk of being impacted by this fire. cal fire says that while there is some progress that is being made, there is still a lot of work to be done and we are waiting. the update from cal fire this morning. as soon as we do have that, we will bring that to you on air and online at nbcbayarea.com. for now. i'll send it back to you

guys. certainly a tough fight ahead. thank you. ginger. yeah. in the meantime, firefighters in southern california, they're in the middle of a fierce wildfire battle of their own. this is the post fire. it's burning right now in the gorman area. flames have scorched nearly 16,000 acres in l.a. and ventura counties since that fire started on saturday. it's 20% contained. evacuations remain in effect. for the latest on conditions amid the fierce firefights that are really happening statewide, we turn to meteorologist kari hall, and we're starting out this morning with cooler temperatures. the cooler air, the higher humidity helps slow the spread of the fires that we are seeing. and hopefully we do continue to get more containment on that. we're right now in the low 50s and much of the north bay, sonoma at 51 degrees, it's 48 in san francisco and it's 59 in san jose. one of the other things we watch is the relative humidity in the morning. it is typically at its highest point at this time of day. and we're seeing that high humidity as well. but it will be dropping

again for the afternoon, especially in parts of the north bay as well as the central valley. we may see that relative humidity in some spots come down to the single digits. so that's extremely dry air, and we're still looking at some breezy conditions. but one thing that's helping us out, instead of more of a northerly wind, we're seeing a wind coming in from the west. so that tends to transport more humid air, as well as some slightly cooler temperatures along the coastline and into parts of the inner bay. so we'll be tracking this and more changes ahead coming up in a few minutes. all right kerry thank you. south korea is on alert this morning. the country is closely monitoring its neighbors to the north. south korean leaders say 20 to 30 north korean soldiers crossed the dmz border overnight. warning shots were fired and the group retreated. north korea's military has been conducting various activities, including deploying soldiers and planting landmines as tensions rise between north and south korea, russian president vladimir putin is actually in north korea this

morning. it's his first visit to the country in nearly a quarter century. putin is participating in a summit with north korean leader kim jong un. it's part of a planned two day trip ahead of his arrival, the russian president appeared in an op ed published by russian state media. the piece in part promising unity between the pair when it comes to battling us led sanctions on both countries. putin's visit comes as many worry about a deal where north korea provides russia with weapons. well, turning to decision 2024, immigration is set to be one of the biggest issues during this election. today, president biden is announcing a new executive action, one immigration advocate calling it the biggest thing since daca, which prevented migrants brought here illegally by their parents from being deported. now, this new executive action will shield about half a million undocumented immigrants who are married to u.s. citizens from being deported. it will allow them to be eligible for green cards and give access to work

permits. republicans already slamming this plan as mass amnesty. the president is certainly going to continue to address what we're seeing at the border. the challenges at the border. now, today, mr. trump is holding a rally in swing state wisconsin, where he is set to become his party's official nominee at the republican national convention next month. san jose police made their first arrest in connection with the sideshow, where a bystander was injured that same sideshow also put an officer in the middle of an attack on his patrol car. today in the base. kris sanchez, joining us from the newsroom this morning, she explains. so why the search for the suspects is far from over now, chris. well, that's because the suspect in custody is related to the spectator who was injured. but the suspects who attacked that sapd patrol car, they are still at large. san jose police arrested 24 year-old aiden rio on charges of felony hit and run and felony reckless driving. if convicted on those charges, he could lose his car and go to

jail for up to three years. now these suspects seen bashing in sapd patrol car stomping on the windshield with the officer still inside, are not yet in custody. but the mayor says it is just a matter of time. on x, matt mahan wrote he will be held accountable, as will anyone who planned, participated or helped prolific rate this dangerous event. san jose police are asking the public for any other video of the event that happened in broad daylight. it was before 7:00 in the evening on saturday night as people were out and about at santana row on a saturday. this is packed with families. there's usually something geared towards families. so you have a lot of little kids. it's dangerous, reckless, crazy. i've never heard anything go so long because i live over in the apartments next to the winchester house, and you hear an occasional, like a skidding or a screeching at night, though this went on and on and on. a last august, the city of san

jose passed an ordinance to punish people who organize or even post about sideshows on social media. people can be fined up to $1,000 and jailed for up to six months. being a spectator at a sideshow is also a punishable offense in san jose as well. as of august of last year, the former police chief said that the department had responded to nearly 200 sideshows and it was more than that in the year before as well. laura really concerning. thank you very much, chris. all right. 608 on your tuesday morning, switching gears, taking a peek outside this in the east bay in oakland this morning. here's got a look at our forecast. kind of mild temperatures we've been having. it's nice. it is nice especially when the wind picks up in the afternoon the temperature starts to drop. and it's really just perfect for that evening walk. but we've also had some comfortable weather throughout the day. in oakland, it'll be partly cloudy. we're seeing some high clouds kind of filtering the sunshine, and we're only headed for the mid 70s here for today. it will

be 81 for that high temperature in san jose. low 80s for mountain view. overall, we're getting a slight shift in the wind direction that's helping to cool off our temperatures. so we're staying in the upper 60s in san francisco. and it's as warm as 89 in fairfield. so we'll talk about the range in our microclimates coming up in just a few minutes. mike's been looking at the range and gas prices, and the range is becoming a little bit lower. that's good. where we start in fremont today again on the state's best list. we're at 385 at star gas on grimmer boulevard, still under four bucks in the north bay. one place it's vallejo where reports of 399 at bon fair on sacramento street. you're their next best for the south bay. there is 409 at the valero on south deanza boulevard near prospect, the cross street. thank you all for sharing on gasbuddy.com. i should move out of your way so you can see those prices again. check the website on the roadway. we're looking at a pretty pleasant drive right now. more slowing for the nimitz down through hayward toward the san

mateo bridge. less slowing. northbound 101 approaching the crash at mckee. no word on injuries, but the motorcycle and the two other vehicles have been cleared from the freeway. there is a fire crew that's reportedly still on scene there, but again, there are no lanes are reportedly blocked and not a lot of slowing. let's check the live camera. things should start to recover in the next couple of minutes. we'll track this back to you. all right. thanks for looking out for us, mike. well, coming up next, a man attacked by a shark in southern california. the moment he says he knew he'd been bit stock market continues to do incredibly well. s&p 500 up 15% so far this year. and what are we halfway through. let's take a look at what's going to happen today. looks like kind of a mixed opening as we wait for retail sales. back in a moment.

today. we're starting out in the mid 60s and all clear for the most part, with the exception of some high clouds filtering the sunshine. we'll see that throughout the day and our temperatures headed for the mid 80s. it's going to be a nice one. we'll see more temperatures like this, at least for a while, but it will be a hotter weekend. we'll take a look ahead coming up in a few minutes. and we're looking at north one on one through san jose, continuing with the recovery after the earlier crash have been cleared from north 101 at mckee. there may still be crews on the shoulder. a little visual distraction and there's no

distraction. it's just the toll plaza for the bay bridge and the backup, which continues to build here as well. well good morning. very happy tuesday to you. the s&p 500 hit all time highs for the 30th time this year on monday, up 15% this year alone. we're only halfway through nasdaq new record as well. an usual trading week. the markets are going to be closed tomorrow for the juneteenth holiday, and then they'll be back open on thursday. federal government is suing adobe, saying the san jose company makes it deliberately difficult to cancel a subscription to its software using tricks like lighter colored fonts. or if you call passing you around from operator to operator no response from adobe yet. the electric company electric car company fisker. take a look at their stock. $0.04. there's a reason for that. it filed for bankruptcy. the wall street journal was the first to report the car company, based out of southern california, was looking for court protection. this is the second time the founder, henrik fisker, has tried and failed to

launch an electric car. the video here of the head of the faa talking to a senate committee about safety and oversight of boeing today, the head of boeing will be on the hot seat in the permanent subcommittee on investigations. boeing, of course, facing all kinds of manufacturing problems, in trouble with quality control. dave calhoun, the ceo, says he'll step down before the end of the year, but the company has yet to find a replacement. that hearing starts at 11 a.m. our time, calhoun will say in his opening statement, quote, our culture is far from perfect, but we are taking action and making progress. s a los altos company called midi health got $60 million in new venture funding recently to help women in menopause and perimenopause with people living longer, women can spend a third of their life in menopause. this week on our podcast sand hill road, i speak with one of the women who wrote one of the first multi-million dollar checks to fund this effort, frederick dam. she talks

about women's health care, but we also talk about her journey to america. and it was all because of a movie she saw as a child and decided, that's who i want to be and where i want to live. it's a really cool movie if you haven't seen. so how old are you when you first see it? i think i was probably 11 years old. okay. in france, in france. all right. well, you'll have to guess the movie or or you can download the podcast and listen to it on the way for work or on your way home. in the case of laura and marcus, you can find it anyplace you get your podcasts. i listen to podcasts on my way to work, so yes, i love that one up. yes, i've got a whole long list of them. oh, i've been i've been on your page. yes. it's good. well, i know, i mean, i've got my own list of podcasts that i listen to. oh, okay. you're just waiting to get on the show, right. hello you think we have an end? write a check for a few million dollars and i can write it. i don't know what's going to happen right. thanks, guy. you bet. 617 for you this morning. this one. no laughing matter.

still ahead on the today show. just two weeks ago, caleb adams was attacked by a shark in san diego county. now he's speaking exclusively with today, remembering the terrifying experience and how people he barely knew swam through that bloody water to bring him to safety through extremely rare. last year saw an uptick in unprovoked shark attacks and deaths. a stretch of san diego, in particularly, really has become a nursery for juvenile white sharks. it was, a strong hit to my body, i didn't feel more of a pain or a crushing, but i knew i had been hit by a shark, and i tussled with the animal for what was seconds. can you imagine that? must have felt like an eternity, i know. look, you can watch that entire interview. the exclusive interview. it's coming up on today. this morning. well,

members of dub nation know the breaks are few and far between. the warriors will be back in action as the summer league is set to arrive. the warriors announcing their schedule yesterday. it includes 12 games across sacramento and san francisco, three matches at chase center take place from july 6th through july 10th. in keeping with tradition, the summer league teams will include rookie players, second year players and players competing for nba or g league roster spots . whom do you have a z league? i was gonna say no. i'm like, i'm ready. oh, i'm like couch league . i'm ready to sit on the bench or courtside either one. and now we're talking. now we're talking. all right let's get a look. look at this. that's sun behind us. beautiful. yeah. reflecting right off of the building. there it is beautiful. we have really colorful sunrises this morning as you're heading out the door. temperatures for the most part in the low 50s. we're in the upper 50s in san

jose. and part of the reason why we are seeing the orange and pink hues in the sky is because of all the smoke we are seeing numerous fires burning across the state and a few new fires that have developed in the past 24 hours. so that's flowing directly into the bay area. and unfortunately, giving us a little bit more unhealthy air quality. and we're seeing that from our live view. looking over san francisco across the bay, and even a little bit of that haze and smoke, you can see that layer there. what happens when we do have all of these wildfires and smoke? we get colorful sunrises and sunsets due to the shorter wavelengths like blue, that we typically see being not able to travel through all of that smoke. so we see some of the longer wavelengths in the color spectrum making it through the smoke. so you see the red, orange and even pinks making it through as it passes through that smoke. so that's why we're seeing the very bright colors. this morning. and we'll most likely see it this evening

due to the smoke continuing to move in as we go throughout today, at least, it feels comfortable. but you do want to limit your time outside until we start to see more of a blue sky, that's your indication that the air quality is improving. we should see that because we're seeing some temperatures that are cooler due to that onshore wind flow that we're getting, and even a stronger wind flow coming off of the ocean, blowing the smoke away from us and also helping to cool down our temperatures. so we're going to see highs in the upper 70s in san jose to the tri-valley low 80s for concord and some low 80s for santa rosa. while much of the rest of the north bay is in the upper 70s, we officially begin summer on thursday. still nice and mild, but then for our first full day of summer, it's going to feel like it will be up to 90 degrees in some of our inland valleys and mid 90 s on saturday. keep that in mind if you have some outdoor plans. if you could, maybe if you like the cooler weather, move it to sunday. it's still going to be really nice with some upper 80s and san francisco. we're going

from upper 60s to low to mid 70s for the weekend, with saturday up to 74 degrees. mike, you're still seeing one jam session in san jose. we are. kari. this is a result of the earlier crash northbound 101 right around. well, between mckee and alum rock. we're told the vehicles have been cleared, but there's still crews on scene. two chp cruisers, and maybe a fire crew as well. so i haven't heard anything about injuries. there must be something going on and no major injuries are reported. but still, that's the one slow section. everything else looks great. so that's good news so far for the rest of the south bay. we still have this overturned tanker filled with salt water eastbound thornton onto northbound 880. that is the specific part of the connector that's blocked. you can loop back from the other side. you see some more slowing. that might be what folks are doing. you can also use central or mallory and the rest of the bay shows a nice easy drive. of course, they're slowing south 880 toward the san mateo bridge, and your typical feeds over toward these bridges as well. back to you. all right. thank you very much, mike. 622 this morning, next here on today in

the bay, nbc bay area responds resort fees are all over the map. well, we think there are some tricks to help you avoid paying them. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura we'll show you how next

we know you care. [music plays] but if this is all too real for you and your loved ones. make the call. because we care too. ♪♪ home instead. to us, it's personal.

was arrested by police in sag harbor, new york. it happened last night at last check. timberlake currently in custody. he's currently on tour. sag harbor police plan to release

more information surrounding the circ*mstances of his arrest later today. well summer vacation in full swing. and if you're planning to stay at a hotel, prepare to pay for those resort fees. chris chmura wants to help you avoid them, even if you've already booked. here's how. first, a rant, please. resort fees are totally, completely undeniable. bailey out of control. okay, now that we've established how inhospitable i feel resort fees are, let's look at five ways you can try to beat them. our first trick is to check your rate. pro tip if you already have a reservation, you're not necessarily locked into a rate with a resort fee. many hotel reservations can be revised right up until the week you arrive. second comparison shop for package deals. third, see if your company has a negotiated hotel rate. many employers, especially the big ones broker deals with the hotel chains. part of that negotiation is

nixing resort fees and sometimes you can use your corporate rate for leisure travel. fourth, see if your loyalty pays. at least one hotel chain waives resort fees for its top tier members. hyatt getting that elite status requires staying 60 nights a year. we know that's not for everyone, but tip number five is see if using points instead of cash to pay for your stay makes sense. i've done this several times. here's an example i researched a hotel in honolulu, a five night stay in a king room. nothing special. in july, the room rate resort fee and taxes totaled $3,324. but if you book the same exact stay using points and you buy all those points, it'll cost you $2,800 total savings, 524 bucks, and there's no resort fee. i'm ginger conejero saab we're live at sonoma county airport. i just spoke with cal fire's

spokesperson just moments ago. who says they made good progress overnight with the point fire. we'll give you the latest numbers with containment. when we come back. stay with us. you'reatching today in the w

from over firefighters working to stop the progress. stop the fire. the point fire in sonoma.

but crews have a long road ahead. we are tracking a look at the front line. one east bay refinery could be heavily taxed very soon. the vote tonight and the reason richmond is targeting a specific oil company. well, concerns for olympic athletes. dangerous heat waves are prompting olympians to speak up for safety. the ways paris olympic organizers are working to combat the rising temperatures. this is today in the bay. 630 on your tuesday morning. thanks for starting your day with us. i'm laura garcia, and i'm marcus washington. well, we just got an update on the point fire in sonoma county. officials saying that it is now 40% contained. now it has burned a little more than 1200 acres. kari hall has been watching the conditions in the area and air quality as well . while our ginger conejero saab is live from cal fire air attack

base in santa rosa. the threat certainly not over ginger. no, it's not yet over. fire crews will work until this fire. the point fire is 100% contained. but we did receive some good news. i just spoke with a spokesperson of cal fire for cal fire minutes ago, who says they made good progress. the fire is now 40% contained and remains at just over 1200 acres. favorable weather conditions overnight helped crews make progress on this fire. the winds were not as strong as they were the day the fire started, and there were lower temperatures and higher humidity levels, as i'm sure kerry will go into more just moments from now. but sonoma county did declare a local state of emergency yesterday. we do not know when or if that will change. however, neighbors in the area are very familiar with the threat of wildfires. they're familiar with the smell of wildfire smoke, as well as the orange hued skies because of a

nearby fire. just like the point fire threatening homes under evacuation orders. when you smell the smoke or you see the big plume, you you know, your nerves go up. it's definitely a stressful situation. the big thing is when we get those areas where we might have flare ups, those are the areas of concern. just because those increase in fire activity is what, i want to say could possibly jump the line, things like that. but our crews have worked quite a bit to make sure that that doesn't occur. and that will be the focus again today. cal fire says air crews made progress in stopping the spread of the point fire, so that the ground fire crews were able to move in to fight the fire from closer in. now, the point fire remains at just over 1200 acres. more than 400 fire personnel have been on scene to battle the flames, with an evacuation order in place for people living in the area of dry creek valley, which is home to several private vineyards. so

far, two structures have burned, but cal fire says the point fire is not actively threatening any others at this time. now, the homes along dry creek road, those are the ones that are most at risk of being impacted by this fire. but again, the good news from cal fire is that the point fire is now at 40. i just want to take your attention to the planes behind us. they were hard at work yesterday, fighting the fire from the skies. that aerial attack we can expect them, i'm told to be back at it today, not for just fighting the point fire, but also the site's fire as well. so we see these multiple wildfires now springing up in in california. we will give you more as we learn more about this progress, both on air and online. but for now, i'll send it back to you guys. it's good to see some more containment there. all right. thank you. ginger trying to do what they can, as she mentioned, throughout california, not just sonoma county, seeing the impact of the fire this morning,

firefighters also scrambling to slow down flames in multiple spots across northern california, including this one. it's up in colusa county. this is time lapse video of that fire. it's burning northeast of clear lake. the napa county sheriff's office is warning that heavy smoke is making a big push into napa. that fire first started yesterday. it has burned nearly 4500 acres, and it's set to be burning out of control right now. safe to say tough battles right now for firefighters really across california for the latest on those conditions, we turn to meteorologist kari hall and we take a look at the point fire where we are seeing cooler temperatures. now it's in the upper 50s, humidity 59, which is not as high as we like to see, but the higher the humidity, the slower the fire will spread. and during those early morning hours, that's the best time for those firefighters to try to get more containment. as we take a look at where we're starting right now with the relative humidity, we're in the 50 to 60% range, in the relative humidity

in the north bay, but it is higher across much of the rest of the bay area. it will be another dry day as the humidity levels drop to the teens, and in some spots, even the single digits. so that's extremely dry air. when you add in a wind that could cause any of those fires to pick up again, and continue to spread. and it will be a breezy day, especially this evening. so we're watching out for that. we'll talk about a cool down as well for the middle of our week. coming up in a few minutes. sounds good. we'll check back with you. kari. well, one of the world's largest oil companies could end up paying much more to do business in the east bay today in the bay's bob redell joins us live. and bob, later today, there's going to be a big vote ahead in the city of richmond. correct. good morning to laura marcus. the richmond city council will vote later this afternoon on whether to put an extra tax, approve an extra tax on the chevron refinery, which operates within their city limits. if the council votes yes, then this proposed new oil refining business tax, it would be a ballot measure that would

go before voters in november. now the mayor and vice mayor of richmond say the new tax would raise millions of dollars of new dollars annually for the city while they, along with environmental groups, accused the chevron refinery of harming the local environment and the residents who live nearby the bay area, air quality management district estimates that each year between 5 and 11 people die prematurely in richmond because of emissions from the chevron renerylast month, chevron told kqed that this proposed tax is, quote, hasty and being pushed by, quote, one sided interests. the western states petroleum association, that's an oil industry association, said an additional tax would make gas more expensive at stations like the one behind me here in the east bay, a group of residents, they plan to rally outside this afternoon. city council meeting in richmond in support of this proposal and ballot tax measure. reporting live bob redell today

in the bay. all right. thank you bob. we'll see where it goes from here. well new at six this morning. the results of this year's silicon valley pain index. well, they're in that report from san jose state's human rights institute reveals worsening inequalities. now, the stats include 46% of employees laid off in tech from last january to this april were women, even though they make up 42% of those employed. fentanyl deaths hit 205 in santa clara last year. this is up from 160 and 2022, and the number of homeless students in alum rock and eastside union school districts has nearly tripled since 20 2637 on your tuesday morning, let's get a look at that forecast. it's been very nice spring like temperatures although summer is creeping in. yeah week the last two days of spring here. and it feels nice. yes we've had some comfortable weather. and as you're heading

to work this morning, we're going to see mostly upper 50s at 7:00 in the north bay and headed for the upper 70s. we've had these high clouds filtering the sunshine. also some smoke coming in, and that's what we'll see throughout the day. as our temperatures in novato hit a high of 83, will be 82 in dublin and 79 in fremont, 81 today in san jose. and mike, now you have some more delays ahead of us. yeah. now some of it is because of standard traffic building here, like the volume at the richmond bridge or toward the bay bridge down the east shore freeway for west 80. nothing dramatic, although there's a crash in concord that just popped up. i'll check that out for highway four. meanwhile, despite the clearing crash here, southbound 880 still slow as you merge with the folks off the castro valley, which is great. the crash at eighth street has cleared no major injuries, but there's now slowing onto the san mateo bridge again. the volume is a factor over here. the factor is an overturned tanker carrying salt water is still blocking the connector northbound 880, not accessible from eastbound thornton. so you have to loop around or take maori or central back to you.

thank you. mike 639 for you this morning. and if you've ever worked out in extreme heat, you know how hard it can be on your body. yeah elite athletes feel that way. and when they're pushing themselves to the limit, heat waves can certainly be deadly. it's sparking concerns now in france, with the paris olympics on the horizon coming up, how organizers are trying to make sure athletes stay safe during competition in washington. a new plan to protect spouses who came here illegally but are married to american citizens that will have the very latest coming up. back in moment a

you told mom to send her prescription to amazon pharmacy. she didn't. (over speaker) price check in pharmacy. all mom had to do was use amazon pharmacy. and her meds would get delivered right to her door. you're so sick, you can't even get up, to throw up. so, you scheduled a virtual visit with amazon one medical. maybe now you can stop looking at your popcorn bowl, like a toilet bowl. ♪♪

says you're heading out in san jose. and as we go into the afternoon, we're going to see temperatures going from upper 50s with a cool start to low 80s. it's going to be another nice one. breezy as well. we'll talk about a few changes as we get closer to the weekend, coming up in a few minutes. and despite what it looks like a final clearing stages of a crash on north 101 101 through san jose is building up so is 87. it's the south bay time for silicon valley to show more slowing. and then we also have the san mateo bridge with the volume building from hayward heading across that westbound commute direction. we're starting to build up there too. well, president biden will sign an executive order to shield the undocumented spouses of american citizens and their children from

being deported. now, scott mcgrew, not everyone will qualify, but it will be a lot of people. it's a lot of people and probably half million, says the white house. now, remember, donald trump's promised the largest deportation in american history were he to become president again. trump has said as many as 20 million people will be removed from the united states president biden's plan, which we will learn more detail about today, would allow people in the u.s. illegally who are also married to american citizens and who have lived here for a decade or more to apply for permanent, lawful residence. now, there actually already eligible for this under u.s. law. but generally they have to leave the country for a period of time, sometimes years, in order to qualify. the new plan would let them stay in the country as they make that application. the white house says the average non-citizen spouse has been here 23 years. in many cases, it's people who overstayed visas. speaking of visas, the department of homeland security today will

announce that daca recipients who graduated college and who had been offered jobs will have an easier path to get a work permit. president biden met with nato secretary general jens stoltenberg monday at the white house ahead of the allies summit here in america next month. the two, say 23 of the 32 nato allied countries are contributing the required 2% on gdp on their defense, canada is one of the allies falling short. it was then president trump who really put the screws to those countries publicly calling them out, though he often misunderstood the way the money was spent. the countries don't send the money to nato. they're just required to spend the money on their own militaries. trump will campaign in wisconsin today. trump's arch nemesis, doctor anthony fauci, out with a new book called on call today. the former chief adviser to the president writes about battling with trump over covid. remember it was trump who hired fauci for that job, but also his time

successfully fighting the aids epidemic. russian president vladimir putin just landed in north korea. his first visit in more than 20 years. american analysts say he's looking for weapons and munitions to use in ukraine. now, we have not gotten video of him in north korea yet. but the associated press says the streets of pyongyang are decorated with banners showing his face and russian flags. the people's democratic republic of korea denies transferring weapons to russia because that would violate embargoes. doesn't much legally matter considering we have so many embargoes against the country anyway. so president biden will make his immigration announcement from the white house. 11:45 a.m. our time, then head to virginia for a campaign fundraiser, then home to delaware for a mid-week break. because remember, the federal government is closed tomorrow. laura. of course, for juneteenth. thank you very much. 646 right now we're just more than a month away. hard to

believe it from the 2024 paris olympics games. and you can see them right here on nbc bay area now, paris olympic officials, they're going to talk more about their plans to address that extreme heat during a news conference today. they also plan to have meteorologists there working in their operation center. it's going to be 24/7 before and during the olympic games. and this all comes as a new report just released raises concerns about continuing to hold the international event in the summer. meteorologist kari hall joins us now with a look at our climate in crisis. yeah. and this morning we're looking at climate change and paris has gotten nearly six degrees hotter mid-summer than when it first hosted the games in 1924. and a string of heat waves in recent years have killed thousands across france during the same time of year. this morning, national climate reporter chase kane digs into the report, and climate paris plans to combat the dangerous heat during the tokyo olympics. the dangerous combination of heat and humidity made it feel, at times like 116

degrees, the hottest olympics on record. i struggled to stay cool while just sitting in the skateboarding arena, so maybe no surprise that, according to a report from japanese doctors, at least 131 athletes needed medical treatment during the tokyo games because of heat. it's in an athlete's dna to push themselves to the absolute limits. you know, when we're talking about olympic games, the reason you're there is because you push your body to those limits within safe conditions. that's one thing. but when things get unsafe, yeah, it becomes pretty dangerous. this scottish rugby player is one of a dozen olympians sounding the alarm in advance of the games. and just last summer, heat waves across france killed 5000 people, another in 2003 killed at least 14,000. and that's the main concern highlighted in this report. i guess i still am just surprised of the timing of these olympics. i mean, we have seen such deadly heat waves in these exact location at this exact time. athletes are by far the most at risk here, but also

people who are attending, people who are working, people who are outside. i think in a lot of places in the us and around the world, just summertime competitions, unless they're held in the middle of the night, are going to become essentially impossible. the international olympic committee says the health of athletes is a top concern, and paris 2024 says they will have free water stations across every venue, and they'll also consider shifting the time of outdoor competition if temperatures top 90 degrees to the specific context of climate change, something paris's deputy mayor says they've been working for years to limit. as climate change makes paris increasingly hot, seven degrees fahrenheit four celsius is a big deal if you're in the middle of a heat wave, that's a big difference in temperature. yes, and it's dangerous. it's dangerous for daily life. and so we need to transform the city as fast as possible to protect people and to make the city more sustainable for the future generations. and that's why

they've invested billions in planting trees to cool the city, adding bike lanes to cut emissions, and working to clean up the polluted river, positive steps to host the olympics and permanent benefits for 2 million parisians. that was chase kane reporting. and remember, you can only watch the olympics right here on nbc. bay area coverage starts july 26th with the opening ceremony and goes through august 11th. and you can also get full updates online on nbc. bay area.com/olympics. hard to believe right around the corner finally, which will be very exciting. we should count that down or something. we have countdown. yeah. you know we just got to get to work this morning and let's get a look at our forecast. as we're starting out with a mostly clear sky. and also seeing the smoke drifting in looks a little hazy in some spots. this is a live look in dublin this morning. overall temperatures are going to stay on the cool side for this time

of year, going from upper 50s to low 80s. here we'll see a mix of sun and clouds, kind of the high clouds that filter the sunshine. here's our high temperature for today 85 in los gatos, 81 downtown and in morgan hill. we'll see a high of 86 degrees today. for much of the east bay. it's in the mid to upper 80s livermore 85, as well as 85 in danville and in martinez, hayward today, 77 degrees. we'll also see a lot of 70s up and down the peninsula, redwood city in the upper 70s and mid 60s for daly city, 71 downtown san francisco, and 65 in the marina district, 75 for mill valley. and we'll see some mid 80s for santa rosa on northward as we go through the forecast, we are going to transition officially into summer on thursday, and it looks still really nice until friday, our first full day of summer, where temperatures will start to crank up, reaching the peak of the heat on saturday. and then on sunday it starts to come down a little bit. so if

you've got some weekend outdoor plans for some of our inland areas like livermore or santa rosa, you do want to make sure that you're planning accordingly with the heat, and then maybe moving it to sunday, if you like, for it to be more comfortable. looking at san francisco throughout the weekend, we're going from upper 60s to low 70s, so not as much of a big range there, but we are going to have a very nice weekend ahead. mike, you are seeing some slight shifting in the south bay slowing. we had all that slowing because of the crash right here. north one on one approaching alum rock mckee. there's still a little bit of activity in the center divide, but the lanes are clear. but now look at the build over here. and this is pretty typical north 101 87 building. you see more traffic out of the almaden valley. all these lanes converge up here. and many go up here past sjc. so that's why there's more slowing here. joining with 237 that's pushing over towards santa clara, mountain view sunnyvale. so that's why the commute builds in that pattern. we'll see 85 and to 80 shows some slowing as well as some folks were out can help them clear those other areas. more slowing for the nimitz also

across the san mateo bridge. no surprises. it's relatively light here. this is great for a tuesday, and we're looking at the eastshore freeway still builds back to you. thank you very much, mike. it is 652 and happening now. closing arguments set to get back underway tomorrow in the state's case against a man who violently attacked paul pelosi inside of his san francisco home. david depape faces several charges in connection with that 2022 incident. prosecutors wrapped up their closing arguments yesterday. the defense will present their final case to the jury tomorrow. a judge dismissed counts of attempted murder, elder abuse and assault with a deadly weapon against depape earlier this month. he was previously sentenced to 30 years in prison in a separate federal case

crews making some good progress overnight. on the point fire in sonoma county. it is now 40% contained and it has burned a little more than 1200 acres today in the bay's ginger conejero saab is live at the sonoma air attack base in santa rosa. this morning. we're finally seeing some good news here. ginger that's right. laura and marcus. cal fire tells us that there was important progress made overnight. at the point. fire is now 40% contained at just over 1200 acres. now, overnight, those crews made progress with the help of favorable weather conditions. more than 400 fire personnel have been on scene to battle the flames and evacuation order remains in place for people living in the area of dry creek valley, which is home to several private vineyards. so far, two structures have burned, but cal fire says the point fire is not actively threatening any other structures at this time. now, at

this point, we do not know if those evacuation orders will be lifted, but as soon as we do receive word, we'll bring that to you on air and online at nbcbayarea.com .com. guys, back to you. all right. thank you. ginger now one of the world's largest oil companies could end up paying much more to do business in the east bay. richmond city leaders voting on a proposed new tax for the chevron refinery. if given the green light, voters would have the final say in november. supporters say approval would mean millions of dollars annually for the city. last month, chevron told kqed that the proposal is being pushed by one sided interest. meanwhile, the western states petroleum association says that an additional tax would make gas more expensive. 658 right now, last few days of spring right now and temperatures cooperating . yeah, it feels really nice out there. we're still going to have some breezy winds as we go throughout today. some of our warmer spots inland will reach into the upper 80s. a little bit cooler tomorrow. and then as we

welcome in summer, it's still going to feel like spring for us. but then shortly thereafter it's going to be heating up. our inland areas will be in the 90s for friday into saturday, but then a little bit cooler early next week. not as much of a drastic change in san francisco as we're looking at upper 60s and low 70s. at times, the low clouds and fog rolling in, and we have the start of summer this week. we also have a midweek holiday tomorrow, so we have lighter traffic right now, but there's a build on the san mateo bridge. there's a lot of slowing because a lot of folks tend to time their commute to the peninsula right about now. watch for late morning today and thursday to be a little more of a factor, because i think folks may skip out on some meetings in the early morning and then they don't have work tomorrow. here's the juneteenth transit schedule. they're modified in many of the agencies. vta is not modified, but it does have that blue line work. so keep that in mind as well. for those bus bridges. today show is just ahead. but we continue today in the bay on roku and other streaming platforms. join us for our 8 a.m. newscast. you can also see
