Brighter skies as the day goes on and that fog burns off. Minor warm up today, low 90s are back in the forecast inland, mid and upper 70s around the bay shoreline. But the coast, you will stay pretty foggy and cool in the low 60s. Thats weather. Lets see how were doing. Traffic with jobina. Good morning. Good morning, drew. Thank you. Hi everyone. So we do have some good news on that mass transit alert. We were talking about a little while ago with that 20 minute delay. Now, finally going away on the antioch line in the sfo direction due to an equipment problem on the track, its now decreased to a minor delay. Theyre in the process of recovering. So everything is back open. So between Pleasant Hill and walnut creek stations is where youll see that impact. But it is moving to being back on time. San rafael looking live at 101.

Cvs is rolling out the new Covid Vaccine booster starting today. You will have to check with your local pharmacy to see if there are any appointments. Cvs says all locations will get these by next week. Thats the same timeline that walgreens has revealed. It comes after both the fda and the cdc signed off on vaccines from pfizer and moderna this week. The cdc is recommending the shots for everybody over six months old. The people who really need to have it. And this is more from the who and not the cdc. Cdc recommended it for everyone, but most countries, including the who, is recommending it for over 65. Those on immuno suppressants and those with comorbidities. A third vaccine by novavax is still under review. You can schedule shots at both cvs and walgreens on their websites and you can make appointments for yourself or for your whole family as those boosters become available. Moderna Just Announced overnight its working on a flu and covid combo shot. Abcs seven News Reporter lena howland is tracking all of this live in walnut creek this morning. Hi, lena. Hey, good morning to you. And behind the scenes, on top of getting the current boosters approved and put on the market as early as today in some locations, moderna says they are working on a combination shot that can make everybodys lives just a little bit easier come flu season. The combo shot is for both flu and covid, with both vaccines given as one dose. This has been in the works for a while now, as moderna executives say their combo shot has already been through phase two studies and will be carried into phase three and launching it soon. The goal is to help more people conveniently protect themselves against multiple circulating viruses. If studies continue to go well. Moderna ceo Stephen Hodge says that they could have a combo shot ready by 2025. Many of us get covid and flu vaccines because theyre recommended now universally. But the idea of two shots is somewhat less appealing, less convenient and more expensive than just one, moderna added that they plan to regularly update combinations with improved next generation vaccine candidates as appropriate. Again, that combo shot may not be available until 2025 at the earliest, but you can get your brand new updated covid booster shot as early as today in some locations. Live in walnut creek, lena howland, abc seven news. Thank you lena. As we head into cold and flu season, a new warning about some of the most popular nasal decongestants is the fda is now saying that they dont work jobina. Doctors say the doubts surround a specific ingredient thats in these overthecounter medications. Yes, camassia so an Fda Advisory Committee says over the counter oral phenylephrine or p does not relieve congestion in any more than a placebo. P is one of the ingredients in sudafed. P dayquil and also mucinex. Doctors say taking oral p is not harmful but proves to be an effective because its processed by the body before it reaches the nasal passages. Drugs containing p will remain on store shelves as the fda considers if they should stay on the market. Doctors say always read the label when youre picking which decongestant to take. Its always good to look for, you know, 24 hour antihistamines as some examples, you know, are like allegra, claritin, zyrtec, all of those, you know, lasts for 24 hours. They actually help treat the symptoms you know, whereas phenylephrine did not. Doctors say its more important to note that the other ingredient thats found in medications with p, including pain relievers and cough suppressants, are still effective and p is also effective in a nasal spray. The fda did not reveal a timeline for when it will decide if drugs with oral p will stay on the market. Reggie jobina thank you. New at six some north bay teachers are ready to strike if talks with the Sausalito MarinCity School District fail again. The union and the district have been unable to reach an agreement on wage increases for the second year in a row. Both parties will go through a fact finding session before a panel. The final step, which is would then be a potential strike. Educators are asking for a 4 increase for last school year and a 12 increase for the current one in the small bay area city of sunol, a growing battle over flags boiled over at last nights Sunol Glen Unified School board meeting. Things got so heated the board shut down the meeting and actually removed the public before taking a controversial vote. Parents and School Leaders expressing frustration before a vote to ban all flags on school campuses. With the exception of the American Flag and the california state flag. At one point, the district superintendent and the boards president got into an argument in front of the crowd. Much of the debate centered around the pride flag, people who oppose this new rule are worried that this will hurt lgbtq students. For many kids, the only safe and welcoming and affirming place they have is their school. Others of course, disagree. They think the us flag is inclusive of everyone and they said they thought the entire process was being politicized. Some say they think without this resolution on certain flags are favored over others. Happening today, hundreds of thousands of california students will find out if they have to pay higher tuition starting next year.

In an effort to speed things up, the company is shopping for new technology and for innovative ways to bury the lines on the ground. Pgandes is currently hearing pitches from Nine Companies in san ramon with inventions that could make the process less labor and material intensive. So the big advantages to having the lines underground is making the system more reliable, so youre less potential to have weather related events. So less outages. So its safer in the fact that you would have reduced wildfire risk. So were not subjected to having lightning strikes on our lines or having trees fall into the lines. Uh pgandes is hoping to bury 350 miles of cable by the end of this year. A rumored backroom deal for Insurance Companies to get a major bailout in california is dead, at least for now. The deadline for that bill passed, but according to our Media Partners, the mercury news, those secret talks with the states insurance commissioner are not over.

Hey, reggie coomassie, great to be with both of you this morning. So coming up here on gma, i am in daytona, not because there will be any direct impacts from hurricane lee. I mean, the thing is, the center of its nearly 900 miles to my east southeast. But because there will be a high risk of rip currents from here all the way up the coast and because i had to have proximity to jump in a plane with the Hurricane Hunters , because were going to go into it tonight, get that Critical Data that helps to make the forecast and that cone narrow. So ill be able to have this opportunity to see lee from above. Ill share it all with you tomorrow, but of course we are. If you do have travels to boston, i would say, or anywhere in new hampshire, maine, up through nova scotia and new brunswick, i would watch for that. Lee by the weekend to have pretty big impacts. A large wind field with gusts over 40mph. And most importantly, those pounding waves, i mean, in excess of ten feet, even for like the outer banks and jersey shore and such. So actually huge impacts with erosion on theres only one thing that could get me away from the dancing with the stars reveal on gma and that is getting in a plane with Hurricane Hunters. So youll also see that right here on good morning america. So, ginger, now im fascinated about this process. So who goes with you up in the plane . So we have two seats total, myself and then my photographer will be with me. So we will have the opportunity to go up and see that, you know, that thing that so few get to see. But also ive heard it is not the most comfortable ride because this is not a commercial airliner. The temperature can get really cold. It can be very bumpy. I do pretty well with you know, turbulence and stuff. But ive had a lot of friends text me and say, you might want to put something behind your ear. So maybe i will. How close are you tomorrow . How it all went down, how close up are you getting . Well be on top of it. I mean, these guys go so what they do is take instruments and they drop them out of the plane, into the eyewall, into that really, really rough part of the hurricane. So well be real close to getting it because they want to get it in the right place. But then that thing radios back information like temperature pressure, wind speed. And thats how we get that structure of the hurricane. And such a good forecast to know which direction its going to go and when its going to make that turn to the north. All of those things are so important. And this is just the beginning of what they do. Theyre now running saildrones. Theyre testing drone drones that theyll drop out of a plane. Lot going on. But the National Hurricane center. So interesting. Okay. I cant wait to see this coverage and drews over here, i think, drooling. I am drooling. Ginger, this is my dream. Yes. If theres ever an extra ticket, ginger, you know where to send it. 900 front street. Drew thank you, ginger. Well be watching. Good luck. And please be safe. Yes. Isnt that interesting . Drew yeah. And during our crazy winter this past winter, they actually sent those planes over to the west coast to survey our winter storms. So they were crisscrossing them, trying to get new data in because they were so strong for this time of the year. They wanted to know what was inside of them. But you get into the middle of that storm, the roughest part, because they want to find the highest winds, get the right category, see whats happening. It is such a for me it is so. And you would do it right over here. Excited . In a heartbeat, drew said this is his dream, but they are. These men and women are so intelligent, they know where to go in the storm. They know where the worst parts are. To avoid that. So youre not in harms way, but they are some of the coolest people youll ever meet. Wow. Okay. And if you ever follow them on twitter, they put the videos up after they fly through it is thing ever. That sounds cool. Ill check it out outside this morning. It is quiet. It is nice. Heres our tam cam. It is lovely. A nice sunrise on the way. Heres how the forecast shapes up. Its a little warmer today around the region, but then well go the opposite way. Well start to cool off over the weekend, september, where we know this time of the year we can get heat waves, but theres nothing in the foreseeable future that shows us were finding any excessive heat.

Our retailer in San Franciscos landmark mall, formerly known as the westfield San Francisco center, has filed a lawsuit against the former owners. The Company BehindAmerican Eagle is alleging mismanagement and letting crime run rampant. Westfield no longer runs that mall. Abc seven News ReporterGloria Rodriguez is in the newsroom with the details. Gloria good morning, reggie. The complaint claims that there were more than 100 security incidents at this American EagleSan Francisco location between may of 2022 and may of 2023. It says store employees suffered multiple physical attacks and assaults, with someone even threatening them with a machete. Now, this is a lawsuit right here, that 80 retail west, which owns American Eagle, has filed against the owners of the mall, formerly known as westfield San Francisco center, saying they are to blame for problems that their store has encountered. The complaint claims that westfield failed to maintain common areas of the mall like they were obligated to in their lease, calling it a breach of contract. And saying that westfield must be held accountable for the damages caused by its failure and broken promises. Legal analyst Stephen Clark believes that American Eagles end game is to get out of their ten year lease, which was signed in 2017. Not wanting to be the last retailer there with nordstrom and others leaving. If American Eagle is allowed out of its lease based on the crime, the violence, the shoplifting and the other problems at the mall, i think youll see a lot of other retailers looking at this as a tool to say we want out as well. This lawsuit is interesting because now we have a retailer inside of westfield, one of the big remaining ones saying, hey, wait a minute, you guys didnt take care of some of the conditions inside of the mall when you could have. That was reporter laura waxman, who was a first to break the news of the lawsuit in the San Francisco business times. The complaint mentions a request for monetary compensation for American Eagle, but no specific number was given. American eagle representatives are not commenting on this. And westfield representatives say they are declining to comment right now because they have not been served the lawsuit. Live in the newsroom, Gloria Rodriguez, abc seven news. Thank you, gloria. A record amount of money will be going toward retail Crime Prevention here in california. Governor newsom announced the state will be sending more than 267 million to 55 cities. Thats the largest single investment in state history. He says this money will lead to the hiring of more Police Officers and securing more felony prosecution. As sheriffs and Police Departments statewide, including those right here in the bay area, could be getting up to 23. 6 million each, district attorneys offices could also get some of that money. Its all part of the governors real Public Safety plan. San franciscos efforts to crack down on the drug crisis is about to enter a new phase. The city has already asked for assistance from the federal government. And we are getting a better idea now of what that might look like. A Senior Reporter with the San Francisco standard, our media partner, believes an emphasis is going to be placed on the federal prosecution of drug crimes. They have started charging drug users actually to try and get them into treatment and get them off the streets very, very, very few people are accepting treatment, so theyre looking now how do we get to disrupt the Drug Trafficking markets and doing that with federal prosecutors, with federal cases they believe is going to be a new strategy that really disrupts operations. Josh cahn says its part of the partnership between the city, state and federal government to put an end to San Francisco. Those open air drug markets, undercover Police Officers and bait are some of the new tools. Oakland mayor shengtao says shes directed her citys Police Department to use to crack down on crime. Im just sick of it. Im sick of it. The residents are sick of it. We are upset. And right now were doing everything from a bait car to put ipads and electronics into vehicles. And then were going to have Police Officers to chase them. And not just that, but more so than that, i just got off the phone with the chief and we have a shipping team thats going out there actively undercover. So that we can actually capture the people or who are committing these egregious offenses. And just creating chaos in society. Oakland is also using a 1. 2 million loan from the state to install 300 new license plate reader cameras across the city. These cameras will be used to track the license plates of vehicles believed to be connected to crime, including neighboring cities like san leandro and piedmont. Moderna says its working on a combination flu and covid shot, and it could be ready in less than two years. The announcement comes as pharmacies and doctors offices across the bay area are getting ready to offer these new covid shots. Abc7 News Reporter lena howland is in walnut creek with what you need to know. Lena hey, reggie, just as cbs announced that they are ready to start giving out the updated covid booster shots as early as today. Moderna says they are working on a combination shot to make everyones lives just a little bit easier during flu season. Now that combo shot is for both flu and covid, with both vaccines given as one dose. This has been in the works for a while now, as moderna executives say, the idea of two shots has been less appealing, less convenient and more expensive than just one. If studies continue to go well, moderna ceo Stephen Hodge says they could have a combo shot ready by 2025. The ability to combine different vaccines in a single injection is something that we think messenger rna is uniquely capable of doing because it really is the same platform were already developing a flu covid combination vaccine has been through phase two studies, and were looking forward to carrying it forward into phase three and launching it soon. We do think that will help people more conveniently protect themselves against all of these circulating respiratory viruses. Again, that combo shot may not be available until 2025 at the earliest, but you can get your separate covid and flu shots at cvs as early as today in some local options. And this morning, we have learned from cvs that their pharmacies will be getting these shots on a rolling basis throughout the week and every location is expected to have it in stock by early next week. Live in walnut creek, lena howland, abc seven news. Thank you, lena. House speaker Kevin Mccarthy has officially directed three committees to launch an impeachment inquiry against President Biden. Mccarthy is facing more pressure from some hard right republicans whove threatened to oust him from the speakership if he did not move ahead. And jobina the speaker doesnt have any concrete evidence of abuse of power by the president at this point. Yeah, right. Kumasi so Speaker Mccarthy opened an impeachment inquiry into the president without a full house vote to begin one. The speaker says americans deserve answers about whether mr. Biden benefited from the business dealings of his son. Hunter the republicans have been investigating the president for nine months, but they have not found any evidence of misconduct by biden when he was vice president. Some gop members admit there isnt any direct evidence of wrongdoing. Have you seen any hard evidence that President Biden did any wrongdoing here . Two months . We are developing that. There is not a shred of evidence that President Joe Biden has committed an impeachable offense. There is not a shred of evidence that President Joe Biden has committed a crime. The white house was quick to condemn mccarthys move as, quote, extreme politics. At its worst, it would take a majority vote on the house floor to impeach the president , something thats currently a long shot only three other president s have been impeached. Thats Andrew Johnson and bill clinton and donald trump. Twice, reggie jobina, thank you. Developing news this morning from russia.
