But we will get them momentarily as they roll in. Mostly the mailin ballots and absentee ballots. The Associated Press announced that clinton had secured enough delegates to secure the nomination making her the first woman in history to clench a major party nomination. Expected to make a victory speech in less than two hours but has said nothing so far. On the republican side, donald trump technically does not need to win because he has secured the delegates required to secure the nomination. Look at this page, on the ballot with ted cruz and john kasich, still at zero but look closely. Donald trump needs to get over 80 because if people voting for ted cruz people voting against donald trump. And expected to get Chris Christies endorsement and the numbers should be coming in shortly. As we heard donald trump has been playing defense and defending remarks about that Mexican American heritage of judge Gonzalo Curiel hearing that trump civil case. Earlier christie came to Donald Trumps defense and said that trump is not racist and a friend and that he himself voted for donald trump today. There is always going to be conflicts regarding civil lawsuits. People will have opinions and those are donalds opinions and he has a right to express them. Well, in less than an hour the polls will close in three more states, new mexico and north dakota and south dakota and all eyes are on california where the democrats are battling for the biggest counts. 475 delegates at state in california. It will be interesting to see. The polls are close for Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. If you look into those policy and look at the numbers of the different groups it looks like Hillary Clinton has an advantage but it will be interesting to see that Hillary Clinton has the number to see what that does to the race and that means Bernie Sanders supporters are em boldened and they come out and vote more heavily or disheartened and stay home. We are hear that Bernie Sanders is likely going to speak in santa monica at ten. Do you think he will speak or in it until next month . Thats the big question. At his speech in emeryville it sounded like he softened a bit but after the news the a p is saying that Hillary Clinton has wrapped it up, he took a stance saying he is going all the way to the convention. We have to take him at his word. It doesnt sound like he is conceding but as you guys have seen for decades anything can happen. This is me speaking but i was disappointed that the numbers came out. It took some of the steam in my opinion out of the california primary and i had to actually remind myself today that you know what it is still important to get out there and vote. Do you think that and you talked about this a moment ago, do you think that will impact how many people come out . I do think it will impact it and even before the polls close, fox news has just called the state for Hillary Clinton. California . No. New jersey . Yes. And for our polls they have closed it for Hillary Clinton. 126 delegates at stake and awarded proportionately so we dont know how many she is going to get but fair to say she is way ahead. She has cracked that glass ceiling. What do you think she will say tonight . I think it will be about the history and the big movement. A lot of people have been saying she is the first female candidate and people have been saying that no one is dealing against but when she takes the stage and becomes real and starts talking about 240 years of history in our country and the first woman one step away from becoming president. I think people will start to feel as barack obama clenched the nomination. How the moment changed. How much do you think the comments about the judge are going to hurt him or do you think that they will hurt him. You do have republicans. Many republicans coming out now and saying i really disagree with what he is saying. I think that for weeks we have been talking about comments by the party and it looked like it was happening. Making progress and we are seeing the senator from illinois saying he cant support donald trump and Lindsey Graham saying ever a time to pull the report and a chance to jump out, this was the time. We are seeing the Republican Party on this election day suddenly in disarray jump and it appears that the democrats are coming to a conclusion. We will see. Paul ryan had strong reactions too. We will get to you in a bit, ross. Thank you. Here is a look at some of the other races. Barbara boxer retiring. More than 30 candidates trying to replace her and the two front runners can state attorney Kamala Harris and Loretta Sanchez both democrats. Sanchez has strong support among latinos and harris among all registered voters. The two that received the most votes tonight will face off against each other in november regardless. It will allow lawmakers to suspend another lawmaker without pay. It was prompted by a number of political scandals. One involving former San Francisco senator lee that is serving a fiveyear sentence for political corruption. Lee was suspended from his post in the state senate after his arrest and continued to receive a paycheck and benefits from the tax payers. Two other senators caught up in separate scandals in 2014 continued to receive paychecks. Polls have been busy even with so many people voting by mail. Cristina rendon is like in Contra Costa County and how voter turnout is happening. There is typical not so much of a turnout for primary elections but this is above average. At this location in Martinez Hall is actually doing quite well and one of the most popular polling locations is in walnut creek and we were there a couple of hours ago and they are trying something new. For the first time they have set up a place where people can drop off the mailin boxes and designed for residents since 90 of the population votes for mail. It is a unique experience. There are a lot of the us that have handicap issues and this makes it very convenient. We dont have an excuse for not voting. Contra costa county say the increase in Voter Registration and leading up to the deadline and will easily see a 50 turnout across the board compared to previous primaries where they see 30 to 40 and processing mailin ballots and those will be some of the first ones that we see when the polls close at 8 00.

Someone stole an ambulance when crews were out on a call. It led to a highspeed police chase that ended with a crash that backed up traffic for hours. Tara moriarty has more. How did the person end up stealing the ambulance. Were the keys in the ignition. Reporter that remains yet to be seen. Investigators have been through a lot of trouble in order to steal the ambulance and now the San Francisco Fire Department has a bigger problem. How to prevent this from happening again. Responding to a call this morning and someone stole the ambulance and led police on a highspeed chase across the bay and crashed on treasure island. We dont know how this individual stole the ambulance and something that is concerning to our department and it affects not only our department but the entire community. The Department Says it is investigating whether or not the engine could have been left running and meanwhile the police have arrested 37year old veronica. Sources said she may have smashed a car window and used the spare key to start the engine. It will be looked into whether she was having Mental Illness or alcohol influence. 380 calls for service each day, and has been plagued by poor Response Time and aging fleets. Many wonder if it will impact service. The department has made Great Strides in acquiring new ambulances. Currently we have 54 ambulances in our fleet. 29 of those ambulances in our fleet are four years or younger and we have 9 additional ambulances that have been ordered and they should be here in august. The president says the department has to play catchup and the board of supervisors and the mayor needs to approve 14 milliondollars in the Fire Department budget a earmarked for purchases this year and the impact for emergency responses could be dire. Once they figure out how it was stolen, they will have to put measures into place to prevent it from happening again. It happened five years ago in San Francisco on golden gate and gilmor. Thats right. Car burglaries they are common in San Francisco but not to an ambulance. It did happen five years ago and in that case the engine was running. Crews clearing dry brush started a small fire in danville. The san ramon Fire Department said it was started near glen holland road and it took crews 45 minutes to bring the three acre fire under control. They stayed on the scene to keep an eye out for hot spots. The firefighters saying people should do the work early in the morning and make sure you are using nonsparking toolings. It is always good to be careful with the spark fires and we have seen them in the last couple of days. We had the warmth in the 90s and 100s and entire danger and for this cooler pattern, if it werent for that, that fire may have more of a push and the brush is dry. The fire wont take off as aggressively as last week. Either way you look at it. The mediterranean climate, dry summer and wet winter. No matter what you say it could be bad fire season just like it has been every year since the beginning of time. The marine layer is deeper and we are seeing it working its way back in. And you see Golden Gate Park and everybody has fog and chilly and it will push significantly. And with that in mind get ready for a day like today. The heat, fairfield, 95 degrees. Today it is 78. High temperatures were a bit cooler and minus one degree in hayward with minus two in livermore and as we push forward, the marine layer will respond and the low Pressure Center to the north of us and the low here takes the fog and one of the hot days with the High Pressure squishes it down and it is that simple. The forecast in the microclimate, upper 50s around the bay and 60s in on Oakland Alameda and over the hill. You will start finding 80s and i would suspect maybe 85, 87 degrees. If you go over just another 30 miles east. You can find temperatures that will be in the low 90s. Theres the fiveday forecast and you can see temperatures hovering. Look at this. The hot spots. So it doesnt get warm. Fire danger, air quality, kind of staying off of the radar as we head into this week. Which is fine with me. I think it is kind of nice to get keep things cool around here and the air quality. So the fire danger down. Plenty of fire stuff to talk about but this week not one. I could live with the 80s. Starts in the 90s yes, me too. I am okay with this because i am further in. It is 65 here and 80 there. Thanks, bill. Good news for air travelers.

Tsa administrator Pete Neffenger says he is focusing his efforts on 7 large hub airports los angeles, dallas, chicago, miami and atlanta and newark and jfk in new york. Neffenger said by reducing wait lines at that large airports the agency has been able to prevent a Ripple Effect in delays across the country. We have retrained the entire work force and retooled the Performance Measures to stay focused on the security mission. Staffing shortages at the tsa and changes in security were blamed for a near record of delays and missed flights. One in ten students across the u. S. Is chronically absent. Sixandahalf Million Students nationwide miss at least 18 days of school over the 2013, 2014 school year and more like to minuscule if the teacher is absent.
