Fighter facing a fight of her own. This is today in the bay. Good morning on this thursday. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your morning. Laura has the morning off. But well take a look at traffic in a second, but guess who is back . I missed you and the viewers. But im back to being happy doing the weather. And im loving the weather. But i havent been forecasting much at home. But lets look right now at how the temperatures are doing. We are going to be seeing a little warmup into the afternoon. And lets look at the temperature trend for San Francisco. Because it has been windy at times in some spots, but right now were seeing some light wind speeds, 56 in San Francisco. And you will notice we have the clear skies. If you look at the temperature trend, your lunch hour is starting to bump up in toot 60s. And it will be warm in San Francisco. Well bunch up into the low 70s this afternoon. Pleasant thursday ahead before changes move in. And another cooldown is on the way. And now a look at the roads. You might see overhead signs approaching the Richmond Bridge saying no wide loads. That is because the three right lanes are still blocking. The wider lane is for larger loads. But rest of the traffic can get through on the four lanes that are open. 4, 37, the bay bridge the typical patterns. And in the east bay, one person dead after an Early Morning multicrash on interstate 880. It happened about 1 00 in the morning in the southbound lanes near the north 8th street exit. The exact number of cars involved not yet clear, but the chp is saying one woman died and others are now in the hospital. No word exactly on the cause of the crash. All lanes is been cleared. Developing now in the middle east, people in suburban tel aviv are singing Israeli National anthem from the balconies of apartment buildings last night. The viral video shows many people singing along and last verse was followed by a round of cheers. Here is a live look at gaza city. The number of dead continues to rise. There are now about 2600 confirmed deaths with an almost equal amount on each side of the conflict. Thousands more are injured. And we have just learned that at least 25 americans have died in the conflict. Israel now has formed a unity government including ruling an opposition parties. The defense minister has vowed to, quote, wipe hamas off the face of the earth. And brie jackson is live in washington with the growing tensions and new support for israel. Reporter secretary of state so he is met with Benjamin Netanyahu today. Blinken says that he is derled to make sure that israel gets what it needs to defend itself. Secretary of state Antony Blinken standing with israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declaring ssolidarity. You may be Strong Enough on your own to defend, but as long as america exists, you will never have to. Thank you. Thank President Biden. Thank you to the American People for your incredible support. Reporter this comes as israel ramps up pressure against hamas after the weekends surprise attack killing men, women and children and the death toll continues to rise. This attack was campaign of pure cruelty. Just pure cruel if i against the jewish people. Reporter President Biden says his administration is working on release of hostages. And it is important to come together. Ive offered to nominate Steve Scalise on the house floor. I expect there to be a vote for speaker when Steve Scalise gets to 217 and not a moment before. Reporter lawmakers are urged to act fast so that they can focus on issues like support for israel. We need to make sure that were sending a message to people throughout the world that the house is open and doing the peoples business. Making sure that were uneclifficly standing reporter scalise looking to sway votes as the u. S. Stands firmly behind israel. It is still unclear when a floor vote for House Speaker will take place. There are concerns that the absence of an elected speaker could slow or limit the amount of aid that the United States can send to israel. Thanks, brie. So many things to watch out for in washington and abroad. And scott, the thing about this, so many people are interested on what is going on in israel and gaza. And there is a lot of disinformation online particularly with x formerly known as twitter. And it is promising to clean up its act. But as well talk about, promises dont account for much when associated with elon musk. Linda yaccarino responded to the demand from the European Union that it remove fake news articles and content linked to hamas and other terror groups from the service we used to call twitter saying that the company is moving manpower and refocusing content. Eu gave x 24 hours for it to comply with its demands. They are removing or at least labeling thousands of tweets and assembling a Leadership Group to take further action. And she writes that there is no place on x for terrorist organizations or violent extremist groups and we continue to remove such accounts in real time. Elon musk laid off much of the companys content team shortly after he took control of twitter. Lack of control had already been a concern. And not just here in the u. S. , but all over the world. As weve said, they dont have the manpower to do what they say that they will do. And then promises from musk or companies associated with musk tend not to come true. Almost exactly a year ago, musk announced that there would be a contents panel in charge of major decisions at twitter, things like whether or not to allow donald trump to return. And then he announced on his own that he would return without consulting with the panel because there isnt a content panel. Whatever the company is associated with, ill remind you, there was supposed to be a million robo taxis by 2022. And it is 2023. Exactly. So well see what musk and twitter will do. But well take it with a grain of salt. So much at stake. Hopefully they do some cleaning up. New this morning, Alameda Countys new embattled attorney turning up the heat on people taking part in organized retail theft. And bob redell is live for us.

The citys economic and Workforce Development department failed to follow through and actually submit it. And the city is now looking at hiring squon to specifically ham those kind of grant applications in the future.

Bmo High School Seniors and parents listen up, the deadline to submit early decision and applications is quickly approaching for many schools. In most cases november 1 is the date but experts say it is just it is not just about applying for school but also about paying for it. We spoke with director over outreach for the National Test prep association and he says that there are a few things that student and parents need to keep in mind. A lot of times families look at the Sticker Price of a school and that turns them off from applying. So they might look at some of the institutions that are upwards of 60,000 a year and say there is no possible way that i could afford that.
