Although we will get there later on visibility suffering in Half Moon Bay elsewhere. We are seeing some spotty areas where youre seeing lowered Visibility Like on the Golden Gate Bridge sunshine returns into the afternoon medal set us up for a pretty similar afternoon to yesterday. Good air quality remains for yet another day across the bay step outside get some work done or just enjoy the were going to see 60s for t your current temperatures with hayward at 67 oakland in conquered egypt, 65 berkeley at a cool 62, little warmer than at the same time yesterday cloud cover prevented a lot of heat last overnight as compared to yesterdays 50s later on today it will be 70s 80s a lot like yesterday was talking a big weekend warm up in your forecast to come. Robin. All right, thank you john were checking in on the traffic and its very quiet right now into San Francisco, the only problem is the fog carla fog covering up some of our bridges like the bay bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge parts of the atv overcrossing so you have to deal with that as you head to work this morning but no big problems across the upper deck or the skyway drive time looking good, its under 15 minutes from the bottom of the maze to fremont street. Were checking in on one oh one and its a little sluggish coming out said martine heading into morgan hill sell from san martin avenue heading north to dunn avenue theres a stretch of slow traffic and then on the san jose side another Little Pocket continuing north from 6. 80 to 80 thats about it the rest of the trip to the peninsula looks really good and youre averaging 31 minutes heading to menlo park well check in on more bridges coming up starting thanks a lot rob and 7 02 lets get to the big news. The top story, the protests across the country reaching all the way to the bay area yesterday after the grand jury decided not to indict the officers that killed a Brianna Taylor for her death you can see from los angeles to las vegas and providence are all islander richmond virginia. There were demonstrations largely peaceful all across the nation is see city streets were blocked in parts. But there was a violent a shooting and one of the protests in to police were hit. Well some of the most violent protests last night took place in briana taylors hometown of louisville, kentucky. We have video of the scene as it played out overnight. We know the 2 officers are recovering this morning after being shot during these protests that shooting happened about a mile away from where the majority the protesters had gathered and those officers are expected to survive. But obviously a very tense scene, we know one person is in custody for that shooting and we saw bay area protest as well lets go to conference reyna harvey she is with the latest in san jose where there was a demonstration rana. Yeah good morning, you know Brianna Taylor stories resonated with so many people here in the bay area. Theres not a city that i havent been to across the bay where you havent seen Brianna Taylors face or her name or acted somewhere in that city and so a lot of people were invested in yesterdays decision and disappointed at what they said yesterday. So thats why you saw so many different protests across the bear including here in san jose right in front of city hall where im standing at now you can see the protesters that were here was hundreds of them that came out you see them carrying signs and chanting briana taylors name in addition, a san jose, its not the only city where you saw demonstrators take to the streets in frustration over in San Francisco, this was the scene yesterday you see this very large diverse crowd overnight walking down 18th in valencia street thats near the Police Station there in San Francisco. They were also calling out justice for taylor and over in the east bay in oakland, hundreds of people also were out in the streets overnight in downtown you can see them marching up the streets here now as you mention. There were several reports of violent protests across the u. S. However here in the bay area these protests remained largely peaceful there were no reports of any officers or any of the protesters injured there were also no reports of any vandalized buildings now there are some reports that there are going to be several continue into today here in san jose as well, including the rest of the week. So well be monitoring those will bring you that coverage for now reporting here in san jose on harding one morning, thanks rain all those protests started after a grand jury brought only 3 counts of wanton endangerment against former officer Brett Hankinson for shooting into a home next to briana taylors. That had people inside Nichole Berlie has the story. After 6 months of investigating an announcement from kentuckys attorney general on the briana taylors death investigation, a grand jury voted to return an indictment. Against detective hankinson for 3 counts of wanton endangerment former Police OfficerBrett Hankinson indicted by a grand jury after the attorney general said he fired 10 bullets some of which went into an apartment adjacent to briana taylors. The attorney general saying 2 other officers jonathan mattingly, and Myles Cosgrove both fired shots that march night, including what he called the fatal shot that killed 26 yearold taylor, theyre not being indicted our investigation found that mattingly in cars grove. We are justified in the use of force just a few hours after the announcement we talked to some protesters in downtown louisville where people have been gathering for months has not right. Its not right out of the houses would be arrested we didnt get justice today, honestly was not surprised i think that all what we saw today. It is historic of how black folks have been treated in our nation and ben crump attorney for taylors family writing on twitter quote if Brett Hankinson behavior constituted wanton endangerment to people in neighboring apartments. Then it should also be considered wanton endangerment a briana in fact it should have been ruled wanton murder attorney general cameron saying the investigation took months with interviews as recent as last friday the case then presented on monday. So news nation asked how long the grand jury deliberated how long did they deliver a today began on monday or to begin tuesday. And that was of this week correct. I will that they started. Early monday. In some time. Before and so they heard everything they needed to hear the attorney general says its unlikely there will be any additional charges related to the shooting and adds that he understands that some people in the community may be hurting criminal law is not meant. To respond to every sorrow and grief. And that is that is true here. My heart breaks. For the loss of miss taylor. Nichole berlie reporting in louisville, kentucky. Well wanton endangerment is a felony that does carry a punishment of up to 5 years in prison and a possible 10,000 fine. Very attorneys are weighing in on the decision in the Breonna Taylor case attorney Michael Rains who defends Police Officers believes the grand jury was simply following the evidence which suggests selfdefense but criminal defense Attorney John Burris says despite being reported as being fired upon first by briana taylors boyfriend the officers who fired back killing her. Were not justified and should have been charged with manslaughter. How could it be that they could find somebody shot recklessly seems to make reckless late and miss late into the building. Therefore i get into the whole question of recklessness they get you into a mass case that easily could have been done. I think the decision was these officers were there they were firing in defense of their own life send out. And they were firing until the threat subsided. Meantime President Trump is praising kentuckys Republican Attorney general for his handling of the investigation when asked about it the president said that attorney general Daniel Cameron is quote really brilliant and the star. And he made a statement that ill just it just is just this is often easy. It does not fit the mold of Public Opinion and it does not conform. To shifting standards it. It says only to the facts into the law. If we simply actor in a motion are outraged is no justice mob justice is a chess is just a side by violence is not just as. It just becomes that they heard that i said write that down from a place because i think its it was a terrific statement. Hes handling it very well. Well democratic president ial nominee, joe biden reacted to the ruling saying in part quote we need to start addressing the use of Excessive Force banning choke holds and overhauling no knock warrants. He went on to add that he knows that people are frustrated. It gets that he says they have the right to peacefully protest of course, but he stresses that violence is not acceptable and bidens running mate senator Kamala Harris also wrote as you can see there quote im thinking of Breonna Taylors family who is still grieving the loss of a daughter and sister. We must never stop speaking briannas name as we work to reform our Justice System including overhauling no knock warrants. Breaking 7. 10 still ahead on the kron 4 morning news.

Honor her honor her wish on her wish which we believe is a reference to Ruth Bader Ginsburgs dying worth to a granddaughter saying that she did not want. Her seat filled until a new president is elected until after the president ial election. Which is not what the president. Plans to do know we are just 40 days away. And now is the president expected to nominate and with republican support in the senate seat a new justice before election day but when questioned about whether he would commit to a peaceful transition of power if he should happen to lose the election the president would not commit to that instead telling reporters yesterday that he would just wait to see what happens. Will you commit to making sure that there is a peaceful trance for a low power after the election.

Is the time right now looking at whether and traffic so far so good robin what do you think were hot spot free. But there is some heavier traffic and more fog. Its like the fog just came out of nowhere all of a sudden on our bridges what happened thats what the the pacific. Makes its way inland. Yeah, blocking out the view for a lot of spots at least Half Moon Bay has seen some improvements as fog begins to lift out there right along the coastline. You are singing decreased visibility in spots though as robin mentioned do be careful for those spots of low lying cloud cover and fog that will be blocking out your view this morning. Later on today all about the sunshine yet skies gradually clear out and were holding on to good air quality today too with good conditions being detected all across the bay, some pockets of poor air quality in the North Sacramento valley and then out into the Sierra Nevada towards Yosemite National park 60s for your current temperatures, its been a more mild start than yesterday was a lot of times we have cloud cover overhead like we do today shield a lot of heat loss during overnight hours. Thats exactly what we had occurring last night so thats why it feels a little warmer this morning than what we had for your clear start yesterday 70s and 80s for your daytime highs later today, another pleasant one before the weekend he and fire danger which ill get to still ahead robin. Thank you john over to the Richmond Sandra fell where yes we have fog now i didnt see this earlier and the traffic is getting heavier to earlier it was stacked up from right around the western drive on around. But now the slowdown spills all the way back to castro also some heavier traffic up to the toll plaza. But overall still a nice drive into the north bay youre only averaging 12 minutes here at the bay bridge toll plaza we have let the commutes about the same at slow from the bottom of the maze a little crowded up the incline toward the tunnel but the suspension and the skyway both look really good so no problems into San Francisco now give you one more thats a foggy Golden Gate Bridge, the towers disappeared we can see here from this shot, so you need to be a little cautious a dense fog advisory remains in place for those of you traveling on one between the north bay and San Francisco still get those headlights and wipers folks will check more slow downs coming up james. All right robin thank its 7. 32. The fda says that its considering new stricter guidelines for covid19 vaccines that are being pushed for authorization and this could very well move the announcement of a vaccine that works until after the election day. President trump says that he could very well override that ruling by the fda and authorize a vaccine sooner. Were looking at that and that has to be approved by the way has we may or may not approve it. That sounds like a political move because when you have pfizer johnson moderna these Great Companies coming up with these vaccines and theyve been testing Everything Else im saying why would they have to be. The great links to the process. The president has repeatedly claimed that a vaccine will be ready before election day but most Scientists Say thats really not realistic. So far the state recorded almost 800,000 cases of covid you can see the numbers here with more than 15,300 people dying of it in california, including 1419 people who died of coronavirus in the bay area. How weird is it to be living in a pandemic where you can say hey if you fly united to why you get a free covid test yeah her for course will tran live at sfo. With more on how this will work in this all kind of ties in with a wide beginning to loosen restrictions right well. Yes, the restrictions are in place in hawaii for quarantine right now they pushed back an extra month because they want to be safe this whole thing begins on october 15 if you Fly United Airlines you can get a covid19 test. The day of your flight just get here a little bit earlier they will swab you they will have the results back within 15 minutes and if you are negative you can hop on your flight. The land there yet dont have to stay in your hotel for 2 weeks. You can hit the beach and have fun right away. But if you dont want to do it there and you can also kit sent to your house so long as you get the samples back to the lab within 3 days of your flight once again youre negative youre good to go and this is not only just good for people who want to go to hawaii. There are people who are from hawaii and then if you negative you can get right back to work out the next day if thats something that you plan on doing, we got a chance to talk to some passengers heres their reaction to getting tested at the airport. I mean you run the risk of what if youre positive and you get a comeback. The only drawback would be up to people to get their another 15 minute service. Extra 15 minutes when you are already cutting it close, but have no problems doing a test at the airport i have no problem started. No problems at all. Just want to make it clear at it. Its not just united though united this is a little perk for them, but if youre flying the other lines come october 15th. You can do a test at any location so long, its approved by the fda and if you can show that youre also negative. As far as covid19 you can hop on to your flight with a different airline. But the cabbie out james and area is that it has to be within 3 days of your flight they want to make sure if not if you dont get tested you fly to hawaii is still quarantine for 14 days so, iran enjoy get that sunscreen dari i would love to be in hawaii with found out about october 15th. Like a week ago i bought tickets and ive still in work as figure the covid test later because you know the timing thing you wanted to come back the right time now john did the stands when he went to alaska they were saying the same thing go to alaska, but you have to have the covid test. So you see to make sure that you get the results and thanks well. All right time now it is time now 7. 36. In the south bay. We have Health Officials now say that theres been after a Dramatic Health improvement in neighborhoods on the east side of san jose which has been disproportionately hit by covid19 and they think it may be the result of an ongoing outreach program. Around 2 dozen teams are now engaged in spreading the word about how to stop the spread of coronavirus heres video of them in action. The idea is to inform and encourage essential workers that are still showing up for work and residents too about the best practices to protect themselves. And we know that members of this community have had to make extraordinarily difficult tradeoffs between their health their work and how they will support and nourish their family gets a good program because i will have to pay the people in so they can be safety and indicated about the fire is so one spreads will spots and everybody can go back to her. Normal. The routine. Yeah during their visits each Outreach Team are also handing out information about financial and other resources. The teams have already visited more than 3,000 businesses and have met with 1400 essential workers. Well take a quick break here at 7. 37, but still ahead the clock is ticking to buy gas powered car. Well tell you when you can expect them to be no longer for sale in california. Plus the giants are hoping to make a playoff push were going to have highlights from their win over the rockies and some action to from the oakland as all coming up john and this in the has been a cloudy one, but its not going to stay that way all day long a warm afternoon under sunshine in when the east bay areas well into the 80s even the coast getting a bit of brightness through those clouds with highs in the 60s. And if you plan on commuting into San Francisco. Yes, theres a wait at the bay bridge toll plaza, its not bad, its stacked up from west grand right through that holds up the incline thats completely normal youre averaging 13 minutes to make it ladies. Check it out. So strong. So. Not ripped. Whatre we talkin about. Thats the hefty ultra strong bag hefty hefty hefty whispers gimme. confused give me the bag . Get hefty ultra strong at a low price in the north bay police are upping their patrols after several Senior Citizens were hit by paintballs and were really bruce take a look at some of the injuries here this is from a 60 yearold woman you can see. The pictures of big bruises on her legs. And thats on the right man on her back on the lefthand side. There are multiple spots were paintballs can be seen live on a mark there she had to go to the hospital because they wanted to check for blood clots a Sergeant Mike gravelle lee says that extra patrols have been called in or in city where this happened. So far the Sheriffs Office is you know we took a report with this would be a victim we took pictures. And we are taking the incident very very seriously. The deputies were able to talk to a few juveniles. But like i said before they werent doing anything wrong at that time because we didnt catch them in the act and for the county code we need to catch them in the act. Now the victims wanted to talk to or what many did talk to the police because theyre worried about retaliation if they speak up. Well take a quick break coming up next though firefighters are predicting an extended fire season, no surprise there given the way transit van going here in california. But well tell you how firefighters in the east bay center going to be preparing for the long fight preparing for the long fight ahead. Rush to work, grab a drink, hurry home. [cell phone beeps] stop dont be on your phone. Let someone else take the wheel. Make a little eye contact. Make a plan. Its a busy world out there. Were all in it together. Go safely, california. A drink with friends can turn into two, and a prescription can be stronger than you thought. Stop there are a lot of ways to get a dui. And a lot of ways to go text a friend, call a cab, share a ride. Whatever you choose to do, go safely, california. Fire crews in Contra Costa County are anticipating a longer than normal fire season this year they say it likely wont end until december. When it finally starts raining. This year the Fire Protection district has responded to more than 1100 fires compare that to last year 756 and you can see its a 50 overall jump. The wildfires have burned more than 3 million acres in the state. Officials say that they are well staffed and prepared. Tomorrow yosemite opens because remember all the wildfire smoke made it not safe to breeze, so they had to shut it down even to those who have reservations and they took pictures of the weird orange brown hew in the sky and then it was off limits. But now the air quality has improved a lot. Since the park was shut down from the creek fire burning in Fresno County and now that the air quality is better. You can go and reservations though are still required all right, lets get the latest on the forecast find out where the winds are blowing and if were going to be getting an a in that fresno fire smoke. John in the Weather Center hey john yeah guys as weve all known lately it all depends on where the winds are heading. The fog the smoke all that dependence on wind direction. This morning. Its a coastal breeze pushing in and thats also drawn in some fog across the bay you can see Sales Force Tower in the very tip of the Trans American pyramid and 5, 5, 5 california sticking up through the clouds there making its way through financial district skies will remain clear as far air quality goes where we are looking at good conditions for inland areas all the way up to the coast north to south. You do see some areas of red around reading up in the northern Sacramento River valley, where we still have a wild for smoke out that direction as well as up into the Sierra Nevada around yosemite Fresno Madera and mariposa counties, warm conditions for the bay area yet again today not too hot as we still continue to see this cool coastal breeze even a cold front sliding through the bay area today resulting in showers to our north but not for the bay area just that cloud cover weve seen this morning. Gradually clearing into the afternoon today tomorrow starts clear and clear as well friday is officially or day of change will see this on shore flow, relaxing and its eventually going to be traded in by some hot dry air from our inland valleys being pushed out our direction this results in increased fire danger and for the inland east bay alameda and contra costa counties, a fire weather watch taking effect on saturday at 11 00am through monday at 08 00am winds gusting as high as 40 Miles Per Hour paired with that very dry humidity means all the Solano County lit up in a fire weather watch and upper elevations of the north bay also to be affected by the heightened fire danger. So if you are staying inside this weekend to avoid the heat and that increased fire danger today, maybe youre better option for getting out their 60s and 70s for highs in the city as well as down peninsula along the coast. Along the bay mostly 70s 80s today with foster city redwood city and Mountain View each at 78, south bay temperatures in the upper 70s low 80s with san jose at 79 fremont at 75 Livermore Pleasanton dublin each in the low 80s, 70s 80s further north into portions of alameda contra costa counties. Eventually up into Solano County to wear hottest temperature in vacaville tied with conquer to 87. Well miss those 80s come saturday sunday monday and tuesday when daytime highs inland rise well into the triple digits and even bayside areas getting into the 90s dry hot sunny and that increased fire danger means as you step outside please take those precautions, robin.
