And good evening thank you for joining us. A green light today to go from purple to red in terms of covid19 restrictions. We explain its a big move that is also somewhat confusing for local Business Owners hoping to move inside. It is all about perception and direction and colors. Where today red meant go a bit faster because in terms of covid19 designation the region is no longer purple. Got that . Whats the difference . I dont know. Public Health Officer does. Its good because it means were making progress. Rates are onehalf of what they were in july. On paper going to red from purple is good news for the can want businesses.

The city counsel is city meeting about how the Police Department handled protests over the killing of george floyd. Hours of video in question including this incident showing the officers view as they use force against a man during a scuffle. City leaders are going to vote on changes to the Police Conduct manual including minimum age that minors can be handcuffed. Preventing officers from covering badges and no longer hiring recruits with tattoos linked to hate groups. Coverage is part of the week long effort on race and social justice. We have the story. In san jose this afternoon top brass from the Police Department appear before city leaders to answer questions about handling of the George Floyd Protests this summer. Ahead of the counsel meeting, police haed body cam footage available to the public. Describing a dangerous scene. Police also release an analysis of the response which originally drew criticism over the department use of tear gas, rubber bullets and other means to disperse the crowds that gathered downtown. Well known Community Activist was among those arrested and accused of pointing a laser at a police helicopter. Which he denies. They create a situation which is tense. Which causes fear. Among the protestors. And they are confrontational. Because of the show of arms. The report which was written from the point of view, admitted the officers in experience with large crowds of protestors led to issues with the department chaotic response. However, for the most part defending rational for using force during the protest. In the wake of arson, looting and property destruction. In one of the videos an officer could be seen and heard taunting protestors in the crowd. Actions which the department has since condemned. Criminal justice scholars say more must be done to repair what some say is a broken relationship between police and the communities they serve. Police embrace true change. Recognize they actually are servants of the people. Their role is not as warriors against the community. The independent Police Auditor report will be release nd the months to come and include more input from the community. Counsel members spent the afternoon weighing in about the future use of rubber bullets while considering other operational changes to the department. Tonight the walnut creek city counsel will address steps taken to expand training after officers shot and killed a mentally ill man. Video recorded the june 2019 shooting of the 23 yearold miles hall. His mother and grandmother called for help after they claim he threatened them. Officers shot hall who had a metal bar. They made it a goal to expand training so officers are better equipped to help Mental Health emergencies. A Police Officer charged in a shooting death at walmart. Handcuffed and taken to jail today. He posted 200,000 bail and was released from custody a short time later. He was arraigned today. On a charge of voluntary manslaughter. In the Fatal Shooting of Steven Taylor in april. His Attorney Says his client will walk. Hes innocent. He didnt commit a crime. And he will be acquitted. Clients get booked and Police Officers are realistic about that. They go through the process. Police released body cam footage that shows him holding a bat moments before he was shot. Investigation by the District Attorney office determined he yised a taze r twice. Causing him to point the bat at the ground and stumble before being killed. A group of civil rights organizations say they are suing over the residents only policy. Nonresidents who enter the park face possible jail time and a fine. Those who support opening up the park say the city political leaders dont have the courage to do it. There has been push back from long time residents. Who want to keep that park exclusive and dont want others. Especially people who look like me. Going to the park. Last month the counsel voted to open the park to all. On a trial basis. With a 6 fee. The daily post reports the city reason for keeping the park closed to nonresidents dates back to when they purchased the land. Refused to contribute. Effort is under way to help bring diversity and inclusion into the wine industry. Launching this summer with three goals. To welcome and elevate and amplify under represented minorties in the wine industry. We want to see individuals in the 20s. 30s.

To accomplish that goal, they are partnering with the college fund to create a Scholarship Program for people of color to pursue College Degrees in the wine industry. Meanwhile the pandemic is also forcing changes to todays celebration of hispanic culture. The focus just ahead. Questions about the governors commitment to the environment. Hes been talking about Climate Change but advocates say the record collides with reality. Forget about telling time. Apple doubles down on health o the 6. 99 super slam is your perfect meal, its buttermilk pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon and hash browns. Its enough breakfast for dinner and its as good as it sounds. See you at dennys. Flames shot from the roof at house this afternoon. Look at that. The fire somehow started in the backyard and quickly took over the kitchen and back of the house. Officials say People Living there had everything boxed up to move out. That helped spread the fire. Everything is gone. The house is destroyed. The house next door is damaged. The red cross is helping nine people find a place to live. No doubt Governor Newsom is a believer in Climate Change. Some say the actions dont back the words. Pointing to the oil and gas refineries in the state. We talked to them about the governors focus needs to be. The science is in. And observed evidence is selfevident. That Climate Change is real. To environmental advocates thats a no brainer. And not the most important part of the climate conversation. Instead they are concerned about these numbers. This is a tally of new oil and gas permits approved by the newsom government since he was elected. Knowing these numbers when you hear the governor screaming Climate Change is an emergency, what do you think . I think that if the governor is screaming Climate Change is an emergency he has to act with emergency power to stop oil drilling now. Her organization is also still waiting on him to shut down a the site of the a massive natural gas leak in 2015. Keep oil drilling away from schools and homes and ban fracking. Would you call the governor a hypocrite . His actions are hypocritical. He promised california when running for governor he would take on the fossil fuel industry. The government has to do more than just challenge the president. It will start getting cooler. You just watch. I wish science agreed. We asked secretary for Natural Resources about the record. Continue to lead the world transitions to a lower carbon economy. Reduce pollution. And on that we the administration and state leaders like legislators and the governor have delivered. Theres concern about 48 fracking permits issued earlier this year the lowest amount in four years. Lets keep our eye on the prize. Reducing reliance on fossil fuel. The next time the governor speaks about Climate Change what do you want him to say. We want him to acknowledge that fossil fuels. Thats what we elected him to do. Today marks the start of hispanic heritage month a time to recognize and celebrate the many contributions made to american society. The Community Foundation is taking the time to help communities hit hard by the pandemic. We have the story. Reporter hispanic heritage month for john is unlike any other in his lifetime.

Commemorating the beauty that is the country of latin america. This year, no happy tune to pay tribute. The tradition is different. And almost every respect. Try to figure out how we can come together to protect those that need it most. Protecting the most vulnerable community. And a city where latinos make up 15 of the population. 51 of covid19. We have come together as community. From elders to youngsters. We have had to fight for a will the of what we have. That fight continues to help. Starting at the Mission Language vocational school. You have volunteers that are there all week. Either distributing food to individuals that need boxes of food.
