So this is a challenging year. Its historic in terms magnitude skull. And it also has required us a deep reservoir of resource. California is experiencing a record wildfire season with more than 2 million acres already burned our Capitol Bureau reporter Ashley Zavala explains how state leaders are bracing for the months ahead. With still months left in whats considered californias traditional fire season in the fire fight is far from over so far this year 2. 3 million acres burned for more than 7500 fires compared to 118,000 acres burned by this time last year its rather the challenge that we faced again so far this season, the governor said there are 900 active wildfires, 25 of the major including the second 3rd and 4th largest wildfires in the states modern history, 8 people have died in a more than 42,000 people have been forced from their homes while this record fire season. Rages on in september in the last few years some of the states most destructive fires happened in october and november and i say this. Lovingly not as an ideologue but as someone prides himself on being open to argument interested in evidence but i quite literally have no patients for Climate Change deniers with wildfires record heat and the pandemic the governor was asked what the state is prioritizing addressing the immediate needs relates to those who have been evacuated those that are potentially impacted by these wildfires. The governor says with wild fires also burning in other parts of the west coast. He still confident resources will remain available at the state and federal level in sacramento, Ashley Zavala kron 4 news. Lets take a look outside to see how things are shaping up its been super super smoking out there and heres a sign of that now. You cant even see the closest tower of the Golden Gate Bridge and the meteorologist Lawrence Karnow standing by talking about all that smoke out there a lot of smoke, some fog begin to move it along the coastline kind of ironic though today we saw those record breaking temperatures last couple of days. Of course has been smoky, but the smoke from fires in far Northern California that swept across the bay area that help to knock the temperatures down and cool us off kind of blocking it from all the sunlight of the right now you see is very very easy. The air quality is very poor ar und the bay area looking toward the Golden Gate Bridge that fog now making its way on shore kind of a thick deck out there. But but the air quality is just been a mess and not only today for the past couple of weeks thats the way its been playing out very poor quality, especially in nevada parts of petaluma nap also into fairfield on healthier as you make your way to the orange in oakland, richmond or teen has conquered san ramon, little breath of fresh air along the coastline with the sea breeze there up toward the beaches, but again tomorrow. Another spare the air very poor call expected the north bay and also the east bay little let up along the coastline and parts of the south bay but boy what a day today, the temperatures taking a huge hit after we had a record breaking need boy did we snap that heat wave big time these temperatures much as 24 degrees cooler in the san francisco, 23 degrees cooler in santa rosa, and all around the bay area these temperatures taking a major drop even down 27 degrees in palo alto in the past 24 hours so yeah much cooler weather around the bay area certainly still some 90s inland, so hot still in the valleys, but the triple digits are gone for now plenty of the 70s 80s inside the bay and much cooler along the coastline so that being said i think tomorrow going to see those temperatures pull back just a little bit more talking still couple low 90s inland, lot of 70s 80s around the bay and 60s up toward the coastline and still a bit hazy. And charged as a dent. Trump was on the campaign trail today heading to both florida and North Carolina inside bay area area politics host Catherine Heenan has more on that catherine. Yeah, ken and pam with labor day behind them the candidates are planning a lot more travel to battleground states President Trump, he began the day in florida. I his team really cant be happy about a new poll, it shows him neckandneck with joe biden trump won that state fairly easily. 4 years ago has got to be concerned about bidens showing another concern for the president he does seem to be losing his cash advantage. One of the of the 1. 1 billion dollars that his campaign and party raised through july more than 800 million has already been spent. Today, he said if he has to put his own money into the race hes going to do that i got reaction on all of this from our political analysts. New polling in florida shows that President Trump is actually leading joe biden among his facts effect late out nationwide. This election would be over early on election day there is also talk whether trump will have enough money theyve been spending a lot of money that is because republicans are knocking on doors and the democrats arent and that to tells me that the republican get out the vote effort it will be stronger than the democrats. This race and the polls are going to veer back and forth. Pauls counter an instant its harder to capture final impression until basically election day. Trumps challenge is to keep states like florida in his column and his lack of money is a problem, its a problem of his own making. So if more states than florida become for competitive. I see the money gap closing. But buying can keep a 4 to 5 point lead in pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan term may have to do something hes never done before. Cough up his own money. Michael is right in that the president has not put any money into the 2020 campaign so far he did put more than 50 Million Dollars into his primary bid but did not fund his campaign in the general election as for joe biden he is due in michigan tomorrow. He and his running mate Kamala Harris. They have a really busy Campaign Schedule through the end of the week ken and pam. Much congress has been pushing for more divers ty and inclusion in banking and argues the pandemic is a perfect example of why financial regulators need to take action. Lawmakers got an update today on the challenges still blocking their efforts. Our washington correspondent Jessi Turnure reports. The success of our economy depends on the full inclusion of all communities. A House Committee led by congresswoman joyce beatty called on the countrys top financial regulators to include more women and minorities in the workforce is in a companys best interest to hire and develop a Diverse Workforce and create an Inclusive Work environment, the all female directors of the offices of minority and women inclusion told congresswoman ann wagner recruiting and retaining these employees is still a challenge we have been working extensively to build more relationships with the minority women and better and businesses the agency said their efforts include more incentives and training at their institutions but said some of the Training Programs could hit a snag they are asking for us to all trying to me the Trump Administration recently instructed federal agencies to end racial sensitivity programs that address topics like white privilege. Calling them quote divisive antiamerican propaganda beatty as the witnesses if any of their training said virtually all white people contribute to racism as the Trump Administration claimed we absolutely do not have training that in any way. It should be divisive language like that purpose and not training is to educate alienate anyone so for now the federal agencies will continue business as usual. In washington, im Jessi Turnure. Up next in sports the oakland as are taking on the astros in a double header today, jason dumas says the highlights from game one next the number of virtual doctor visits is up now more than ever how the changes saving americans the pandemic has pushed telehealth visits to an alltime high of 4 patients it may not be a bad report estimates tele Health Patients save not only time but also money an estimated 1. 1 Million Dollars in fuel from not driving to see their doctor and missed appointments jobs by 3 . One ohio clinic says it had fewer than 50 telehealth visits in the month of february to nearly 2800 a day during the pandemic. Without a doubt this this move has been inevitable leaks about thanking how much of the banking do we do virtually. Its about retail, i mean how many things do people now purchase over the internet on their phones. Why would healthcare be any different. Many Health Officials say the tele health trend continuing even after covid19 pandemic is over. It is the first day of school for more than 1. 8 Million Students across the u. S.

A jogger who was mistakenly stopped by police now sharing his story and giving advice to others who ma a black man who was stopped by deputies while jogging in florida is set to share his experience during a Law EnforcementTraining Course the courses on implicit bias it comes at a time when police are under pressure to address issues of systemic racism in Law Enforcement stop was recorded on Police Body Cameras and Facebook Live it was a case of mistaken identity things went smoothly.

One of the best examples that i have seen as far as civilians being compliant and officers actually trying to assure the civilians that were not out to gave way we stopped Mister Griffin is the way would stop a white guy a black eye hispanic ira purple guy and body camera video out there and sheriff Mike Chitwood says this stop is a teachable moment and invited griffin former military officer to attend an implicit bias training class to share his experience with Law Enforcement or nobody say anybody did anything wrong. But there is a way here to look at life from both sides of the coin and thank you for. Officers started here. Its all me from the get go hey, im not going to let anything happen to i would say if you remain calm, at least 85 of the time the situation will go your way yes, the officer has authority but any and you have control.
