Protection program was set to expire the senate votes to extend it. Today in the bays alex barr and what congress is going to do now. Reporter laura, this was a bit of a surprise that this extension was agreed to last night since theres not often a lot of bipartisan agreement in washington these days. This is one of these issues important enough. Lets be clear whats being extended is the deadline to apply. So now that deadline will be extended until august 8th. So that allows any Small Businesses with fewer than 500 employees that have not yet asked for this aid to jump in and request it. Whats kind of interesting is theres still 130 billion left in the pot to be distributed to Small Businesses. Thats a little surprising because early on this money was just flying out of the coffers and congress had to pass another installment to reinstate the money there. Theres question why theres so much left on the table. Some Small Business owners say they need help and need more help than what the first round was that perhaps, though, this is not fitting their exact needs. Many lawmakers are saying they wanted to make sure and pass this extension to be sure there is no interruption in this program as lawmakers look to pass yet another Coronavirus Relief bill likely next month. Well send it back to you. Really good news for Small Business. Thank you very much, alice. 5 02 for you this morning.

As we get a look at our current temperatures right now this morning were in the mid50s. Were in the low 60s in concord because weve had some higher winds rushing through the delta warming up some of those temperatures there and as we look at the trivalley much cooler there with a lighter wind that allows those temperatures to cool off.

Moving over to Contra Costa County, a smooth flow. Everybody getting to the bay bridge without delay and a live look shows the green through oakland, the live look shows you a good amount of traffic traveling northbound with the taillights away and the coliseum headlights down to san mateo.

A very happy wednesday to you. It is july 1st. That means as of today we are halfway through the year 2020, and what a strange year it has been. Even weirder is the economy nearly shut down and yet the stock market had its best quarterly performance in more than 20 years. Now that wouldnt make any sense unless you factor in all the moves by the fed and the injection of the stimulus by congress. It is capitalism, or perhaps more appropriately, capitalism, but supported by the government. The s p 500 up 20 for the quarter that ended yesterday. The nasdaq up 30 lifted by apple and microsoft. July 1st also brings us new enforcement of the California Consumer privacy act. This is a law that is already in place but state attorney general Xavier Becerra gave companies the first half of the year to figure out how to adhere to it.

Only the user has to be in california. Google has removed ads that tell people how they have to pay to register to vote. To be clear you do not need to pay to register to vote. The ads would appear when people googled how to register. Google was alert eed to the problem. I assume you have heard of a Loose Knit Group of people who appear sometimes at these protests, sometimes with guns, sometimes wearing hawaiian shirts. They advocate for a second american civil war. Facebook says it has had enough and has removed 220 facebook accounts, 95 instagram accounts and, laura and marcus, 28 pages of 106 groups it has designated a violent group, the same as isis. Thats a lot of work. Wow. Thanks, scott. A push to rename zuckerberg general in San Francisco. Matt hany posted about the recent controversy around hate speech moderation. The company is leaving the platform. In 2015 zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan donated 75 million to the hospital, which led to the name change. Since then the Cambridge Analytica scandal has some demanding the name be dropped. A day some baseball fans thought may never arrive. Major League Players getting back to work. Locally the giants and as report for threeweek summer camp at their home stadium. We have some good news for you and super cute here. Its a Birthday Party at the San Francisco zoo. Oh, yeah. A party you would want to go to. For three senior chimpanzees, kobe, mini and maggie. Kobe turned 62. Neither look a day over 40. The zoo threw quite the bash. There were no guests. Sf zoo is supposed to reopen on monday but now its not clear when it will reopen. Its nice to get a peek at the party they were having. I heard when we first went into lockdown that the animals were kind of looking for the people. I read an article. No people appear in the cages. Hey, it was all about me. Look at how cute i am. All right. 5 17, a look at the forecast out there. I have been seeing i was hiking and saw deer out there. I havent been able to go to the zoo but some animals out in the wild. I see animals every day. Theyre sleeping right now. Im just kidding. Lets get a look at this forecast as we get a live look at walnut creek starting out on this wednesday morning, beautiful sunrise and were going to see our temperatures warming up today in some spots. Lets head over to concord. Temperature trends in the upper 50s at 6 00 and then at 10 00 we are going to 71 degrees. You can see the trend as we start to see the colors changing there at noon. Were 81 degrees and thats when it starts to warm up. We will still have some warm spots and were looking at a high of 86 degrees in concord. 82 in napa and 73 for a high at observing. San francisco expect mid60s today. As we look at our weather pattern and whats happening overall, some mild weather right now. Well have enough of an ocean breeze to cool things off. Warmer air starts to surge in. Its going to be hot this upcoming weekend. We remind you with the illegal fireworks and very dry vegetation along with hot temperatures, its going to mean a high fire danger so we do have to be really careful here. Enjoy the next couple of days. Were going to see highs in the mid80s, up to 82 degrees tomorrow with some of our inland areas a little bit cooler than mid80s on friday. Were looking at mid90s. In San Francisco mostly looking at 60s here. And then some low 70s in time for the Holiday Weekend. Mike, anything new popping up right now . Were going to check on this in just a second. I want to show the commute as we look at the big map and you see green sensors everywhere, a little slowing coming out over on the right side. Well move over there and see the Altamont Pass for west 580. Not getting focused to grant line road and by the time you get to north greenville, youre fine. Little arrow shows red. Your traditional build, that one spot there, as folks come together. Now farther over the san mateo bridge we took a look after the break, everything was moving smoothly. Still moving smoothly but watch the flashing red light. I noticed it just as we took the shot. No incidents reported here. Well track it on the shoulder and the bay bridge has no backup either. Its a smooth drive. Metering lights perhaps in a half hour. Back to you. Thank you, mike. Thanks, mike. 5 20 for you that morning. Up next for you nbc bay area responds. Reporter thinking about celebrating Independence Day with your own Fireworks Show . We have a couple reasons you might want to skip the diy show. Im consumer investigator chris chmura, nbc bay area responds next. And the whole team is on social media and recently my kids and i went berry picking and now were the home of numerous jars of jam and delicious pies that kept us very busy. One of the many ways were trying to social distance and still do something fun out there. Let me know what youre doing. Im on facebook, twitter, and instagram. Laura garcia nbc bay area.

Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years for rape in march and is still facing another trial in los angeles. Youve probably seen or heard fireworks going off in your neighborhood. Yeah, and if youre thinking about also making the skies go boom, consumer investigator chris chmura cautions you that fireworks could make your finances go bust. Reporter good morning. Well give you three reasons you should leave the fireworks to the pyrotechnics professionals. First, theyre dangerous. 10,000 americans had to go to the hospital for a fireworks injury last year alone. A third of them were kids. 12 people died. Second, fireworks might be illegal where you live. Almost every city in the bay area bans fireworks with bill penalties if youre caught f. That doesnt dissuade you, reason number three. A fireworks accident could cost you a lot more. If the fireworks are illegal in your state or locality, most likely youre not going to have coverage under your homeowners or rental insurance. Reporter if your illegal fireworks start a fire, your insurance wont cover it. You could be on the hook for hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage to your house, a neighbors home, or any injuries to bystanders. What if your house catches fire from someone elses illegal
