county leaders are set to take up, and who could be dramatically impacted. then it may be hard to believe, but levi's stadium is now ten years old. >> so what's in store for the future? i'm mark sayer. i'll tell you about some planned improvements. just ahead from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> i still think of that stadium as new. i know we're a decade in, but it's been ten years. i know, i know look back at that and forward as well. thank you for being with us. >> i'm gasia mikaelian and good morning. i'm dave clark. tuesday morning, august 27th, i think today is going to be a good gasia mikaelian walking day. >> can i tell you we broke down and turned on the ac late yesterday. so did i. okay, i don't feel so bad. >> so did i. believe me, i understand. it went from a 70 on friday to mid 90s for some yesterday. there is a much bigger fog bank though today. i mean there's no comparison compared to yesterday. still though, the bases are quite low, so inland it won't matter 5060. the city is running four degrees cooler than 24 hours ago. you

know those little things? you look for? that low, far left of your screen will be here for a cooldown, but not until probably friday saturday. so inland temps not a problem. it will be warm to hot. this will be the hottest day of the week. coast and bay though, may be kind of a push here because of that bigger fog bank 70s, 80s, 90s to almost 100 right here. bay bridge toll plaza last time. this time. >> yeah. we're going to do that again. i do want to mention that the traffic at the toll plaza, steve, is going to be busy all the way out to the maze, and the metering lights are on, so that's not unusual. i think people always want to know that's there. and interstate 880 looks okay. if you are driving on 80 westbound, it's gotten filled in from san pablo all the way to berkeley. 680 is also slowing on the way to walnut creek, and highway four is pretty solid. we haven't seen a lot going on in the peninsula or the south bay, although there is some slow traffic on the eastern side of san jose on 101 and 85, now heading up west 701. let's go back to the headlines, sal.

>> thank you. new this morning, the san francisco 49ers say the team will be investing $200 million to improve the fan experience at levi's stadium. the stadium just turned ten years old. the team says it's looking forward to hosting world cup soccer matches and the super bowl in the coming years. ktvu mark sayer takes a look at what's in store. let the construction begin. >> it was april 19th of 2012 when the 49ers officially broke ground on levi's stadium, and it opened in the summer of 2014. in the first ten years, the stadium has already hosted the super bowl, along with international soccer matches and major concerts and now, as the stadium enters its second decade, the team is making a big investment. >> and so we're really excited about what we're doing here at levi's stadium. the concourses, they illuminate the stadium. >> francine melendez hughes is the general manager of stadium operations. she says the goal is to keep the fan experience moving forward. >> we're always looking to

reinvest into the stadium to ensure that it's up to the most technologically advanced stadium venue out there. >> both video boards at either end zone will be upgraded, giving the stadium the largest 4k display of any nfl stadium in the nation. new led field lights will be installed, which will save energy and also brighten the playing field for primetime night games and new wi-fi six systems are being installed stadium wide, with more than 1300 access points. >> so for us, investing into the fan experience, whether it's frictionless technology at the concession stands, so they're minimizing their wait time or wi-fi or 5g so that they're able to get their text messages out there and send pictures and just really enjoy their their time here. >> and here's one area that most fans don't often get to see the luxury boxes. but like any nfl stadium, corporate sponsorship is critical to the team, to the

stadium, and they drive sales that goes right to the local tax base. so all 120 of these boxes are also being upgraded. >> as the stadium operator, you always want to put money into the stadium. it's all about the first class fan experience. >> levi's is looking forward to the 20 2425 nfl season, and in 2026 will host six fifa world cup matches and also super bowl 60. reporting in santa clara, mark sayer ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, mark thank you. time now 704 this afternoon, the santa clara county supervisors will debate whether to ban artificial turf on fields. ktvu is james torres is in santa clara to tell us why this conversation. james will get a lot of attention. good morning dave. >> good morning to you. well, earlier this month, the board of supervisors asked for some sort of health review to see just how dangerous artificial turf can actually be if used on county facilities would mostly affect youth athletic facilities and

fields. but at a board meeting about two weeks ago, several people came out and spoke about their opinions. >> i'm a longtime soccer mom. i advocate for youth sports, but i, along with many other soccer families, do not advocate for artificial grass. for obvious reasons. it's plastic. it's uncomfortable. it's uncomfortably hot and dangerously hot. >> i believe the risk of kids not playing year round is greater than the risk of synthetic turf field. and currently, the city of san jose is about 100 fields short, and 50 of them are soccer fields. >> and we're starting to learn more details about that health review that supervisors will talk about later today. and it will be the ultimate influence and how they decide to vote. a ban has already been supported by the santa clara county medical association. according to that review done by the public health department. artificial turf can be linked to some potential dangers, but it

says many of the studies it's reviewed makes it hard to make a clear case to be for or against its usage. for example, researchers say turf does get much hotter than natural grass, but it can't conclude if that difference in heat contributes more to injuries or illnesses. there's also concerns about the chemicals and pfas, or forever chemicals, used in the turf, that have been linked to cancer. the review says. most turf does contain those chemicals, but it does not make clear to what extent using the turf causes, quote, meaningful human exposure to those chemicals. so, in essence, the review did identify some potential dangers. but in most cases, it really can't conclude just how dangerous the turf is. and those against the ban say the turf is cheaper. it's easier to maintain the natural grass. it was a good option when we were going through years long droughts here in the state of california. it also gives kids more opportunities to play the sports that they love because it's a little easier to access. the board of supervisors will take

on that conversation, possibly go to a final vote later this afternoon after 1:00. we're live this morning in santa clara. i'm james torres, ktvu fox two news. >> thank you james. new this morning an investigation is underway after a person in custody at the county jail in richmond died yesterday afternoon. contra costa county sheriff's department says deputies found him unresponsive in his cell around 2 p.m. the man was later pronounced dead. he was the only one in the cell. his identity has not been released. investigators say the death does not appear to be suspicious. >> our time now. 706 police in dublin are investigating two controversial incidents at dublin high school, including an attack on a student. the bay area news group reports that the principal announced that five people went into the boy's locker room and attacked a teenager. last week, a football coach and some players were there and stop the attack. now the police are trying to identify the attackers. >> tonight is the third in a week long series of community

safety forums in oakland. it will be held at fremont high school on foothill boulevard. dozens of people attended last night's town hall at saint john's episcopal church. they heard from city leaders, including mayor shengtao, police chief floyd mitchell, who touted statistics that show progress in fighting crime. many in the audience said those numbers don't reflect their reality. >> see no results out in the street with sideshows, robberies, strong armed robberies, carjackings, shootings. i mean, they're just they're continual. >> this is the worst i've ever seen. this is the worst i've ever seen. and sometimes i drive down the street and i have to just stop and look because i'm not accustomed to it looking like it's been in a world war three. >> oakland mayor tom mitchell talked about using technology like real time images from street cameras and getting support from other law enforcement agencies, including the chp. >> we know that we don't have enough police officers. we can't afford them. but that doesn't mean that we use that as an

excuse or a reason not to ensure that our people feel safe. >> we have reduced our violent crimes when it comes to murders, aggravated assault, sexual assaults or rapes and robberies by over 15% this last year. >> chief mitchell also touted the police department's sideshow detail, saying dedicated officers go out every friday and saturday night. now the next oakland town hall again tonight at fremont high there on foothill boulevard near 46th avenue. thursday, there's another meeting at allen temple baptist church. the final forum is friday at the oakland asian cultural center. our meetings are from 530 to 7:30 p.m. >> our time now 709. the nonprofit group behind san francisco's annual stern grove festival, now suing the city because of a major flood there three years ago. back in 2021, a ruptured water main on sloat boulevard caused water to spill from city streets into stern grove's outdoor amphitheater. the lawsuit, that was filed last week in san francisco superior court, is seeking $336,000 for

damages. stern grove festival association says that amount represents lost revenue and the cost of cleaning up, tied to the flooding a year and a half after it was badly damaged in a storm. >> people can once again head out onto the capitola wharf. it's not all the way open to the end yet, but work continues. visitors can walk out onto the wharf and enjoy the water. a grand reopening is set for the wharf next month. the pier in capitola was badly damaged in january of 23 and strong winter storms. crews had to demolish several structures on the wharf because of all that damage. >> it's 709 now. let's make it 710. and here we go with the east bay commute, because that's where most of the slow traffic is starting off right now with highway four. it's a pretty long backup. i'm not telling you anything new. 680, though, is backed up. it seems like it's early, but it is already 710. as i mentioned, just a little darker than it was in summertime. you push over to the

east shore freeway, heading to the bay bridge, and you will see the bay bridge is backed up to the maze metering lights are on. there have been no major issues here on interstate 880. it does get a little bit busy from hayward into fremont, which is typical. 710. let's go back to the desk. >> all right. thank you. well, members of congress toured the site of donald trump's outdoor rally in pennsylvania, where he was almost assassinated last month. the new task force looking into that shooting and what they hope to discover. plus, i just want to say how it went down, because everything is supposed to be checked before you even come in. >> family members of a person killed at an east bay homeless shelter are speaking out. why? they say lax security fail o

the deadly shooting happened sunday night inside the shelter at the intersection of harrison and fourth streets. the mother of the 37 year old man who was killed says her son was a good man with three children. she blames a lack of security at the shelter for his death. >> let a man walk out this building, go to his car, get a gun. did not check him on the way in and killed my son and shot him multiple times. >> investigators say the shooter

ran off before officers arrived. police have not announced an arrest or possible motive. >> our time is now 714. a congressional task force investigating the assassination attempt against donald trump, the republican presidential nominee, wants to know why law enforcement froze when they first saw the gunman. the house lawmakers went to the pennsylvania fairgrounds in butler, pennsylvania, where that shooting occurred. back on july 13th. they say it's too early to know if there was any criminal negligence, but they wanted to determine who was in charge of the assignment to protect donald trump. >> burning question is always going to be with me. there was knowledge ahead of time that there was a person of suspicion on that roof and armed. the key was. yet the former president of the united states, off the podium. >> now, the bipartisan task force is still trying to interview federal, state and local officials as well as the people who were there at the rally that day. five secret service agents have been placed on administrative leave because of that security failure.

>> the state assembly is expected to vote this week on a bill to create restrictions on artificial intelligence. it would create a new state agency that would closely monitor ai companies as they develop new technology. supporters of the bill say these legislative guardrails are needed. >> ai has the potential to make the world a better place. but as with any powerful technology, there are also risks, and we should try to get ahead of those risks instead of playing catch up, which we have done all too often around technology. >> the bill would head to the senate if passed by the assembly. no word yet if governor newsom would sign it into law. now, elon musk is among those publicly supporting the bill, released a statement on his social media platform saying for over 20 years, i've been an advocate for ai regulation. just as we regulate any product technology that is a potential risk to the public. >> our time is now. 716. this week's episode of our ktvu show, talk of the town, is especially

timely, with students back in school right now. i talked to monet brown, the founder of not our kids. it's dedicated to protecting kids online, and monet brown uses her more than 20 years of law enforcement experience to help make sure kids are safe on the internet. >> what i saw is that a lot of parents were unaware that their children were meeting these people through the phones, that they were paying for every month, that they didn't have the passwords. they had never searched their kids phones. but back then we were as pos. we were able to go through the kids phones and we were able to show the parents, like, are you aware of this? no, and i believe because now monet brown points out, a lot has changed so much since many parents were kids themselves, and sharing too much personal information online can be unsafe for anybody. >> she also says it's not just phones and social media apps

where kids are at risk, but also chats on online games. he says it's really important for parents to monitor their kids activity online, and there's so much more to mark my conversation with monet brown, including more tips for parents, you can watch our latest episode and every episode on our ktvu website. just go to ktvu dot com slash talk of the town. >> the conversation that really deserves a nice, long, in-depth dedication, which is what you two do quite, quite serious situation, right? let's see what's happening on the road. hopefully not very serious at this point in the commute. >> no, nothing too serious. although we do have some slowdowns which is par for the course. let's go out and see what we have. now. first of all, going to start off with a look at the east bay getting into san francisco. but the east bay by far has the most slow traffic. if you're driving on 80 let's say between el sobrante and berkeley, it is a pretty long

backup, as you can see, and we have a backup at the richmond bridge toll plaza. we also do have traffic at the bay bridge backed up to the maze in case you're going to san francisco. sometimes this gets better closer to nine, but these days it stays pretty packed as a lot of people are back to the fall routine. this is a look at interstate 880. in oakland. that looks good. next time we'll dive into the south bay. there's not as much there yet, but that will change in the next hour or within the next hour. here at 718, let's bring steve back with today's need that rooster to crow down there in the south bay. >> all right. we'll go back and take a look at the climate prediction center outlook. this is about eight days ago for the 26th through the 30th, they painted in above average temps. well, how about that? they got it right. not always do i agree with them. but this time they were spot on above average on the temps. they'll start to come down a little bit, but not till the weekend. from friday to monday on the highs. these are

the highs in blue on friday santa rosa, napa, livermore, redwood city, hayward and san jose all 70. yesterday all 90s look at hayward 74 to 90 degrees. redwood city from 71 to 90 degrees. livermore from 75 to 94. does not take long this time of year. santa rosa yesterday concord, napa, san rafael, san jose, redwood city, all between 90 and 94, oakland and 85 and the city 78. this is a tough time of the year. on the forecast high for the city end of august. going into september, today will be a hot day inland. there is a much bigger fog bank though on the coast, so 5060s already inland temps. i would think brentwood, antioch, fairfield areas up to healdsburg, maybe down to gilroy. they'll be pushing upper 90s here for some 30s up in the mountains, though. not bad. truckee, south lake tahoe. i mean, they've been cold since that system we had on the weekend. 3637 there, 75 las vegas. that's about the nicest low they've had all summer long. you can see the system sweeping by to the north, but the high is right over us. there's a little

low to the west it will get here, but not until probably friday into saturday for a cool down, there's a bigger fog bank. i don't think it has much hope though, because it's running into too much resistance. but 6070s anywhere near the water's edge. after that, it's 80s 90s to upper 90s, maybe even near 100 for a few about the same wednesday. i think slowly creeping back will be the fog. a bigger push on friday into the weekend for a cool down. >> steve. thank you. 720. a plan to let california universities hire people who are undocumented is heading to the governor's desk. what it could mean for students across the state and why some universities are not on board. >> also, another home insurance company says it's leaving california. what that means for customers and what it says abou t california's insurance industr

look at this new video from orinda showing a group of suspects ransacking the medicine shop pharmacy in orinda. the owner told ktvu it's the fourth time this has happened since april. we don't know if the same group of suspects committed the crime every time. the owner says $40,000 in medicine was stolen, as well as the pharmacy's safe. both the orinda police and the contra costa county sheriff's department are investigating. >> new video here into our newsroom. just this morning shows san francisco fire crews putting out an electric bike fire at the jefferson hotel on

eddy street. the fire department found the bike burning in a fire escape and brought it out to the street. no injuries were reported. no word yet on how the fire started. the fire department is now reminding e-bike owners to always keep the fire escape clear and charge those bikes using their original chargers. >> our time is 724. another insurance company is stopping its fire damage coverage here in california. but for a much different reason than other companies. the chronicle's reporting a liberty mutual fire insurance company, a subsidiary of liberty mutual, will not renew the policies of 17,000 customers. the issue involves dwelling fire insurance that provides less coverage than standard homeowner policies. liberty mutual blames antiquated gear that can't properly manage dwelling fire policies, and it's impractical to create a whole new system. major insurance companies like state farm and allstate announced earlier this year they're dropping thousands

of policies or pausing new coverage because of wildfire risk. >> one family says its christmas tree farm burned down in the park fire, which is still burning in four northern california counties. andras and emma baheda bought the farm in tehama county two years ago. they now say their dream is dashed. they say they didn't have fire insurance on the property when it burned down, saying no one would insure them because of the farm's location. they're now paying out of pocket as they try to rebuild all that was lost. >> we're just going to do what we've done to the entire first half of our lives and just work for it, and, you know, just make it happen. just one step at a time. >> make our plans and work on it a little bit at a time. >> earlier this month, the couple started a gofundme account to raise money to rebuild. the family hopes to reopen the farm in the next few years. >> our time now 726. a win for access advocates in a beach battle. we'll tell you what

marin county just said about fences. some homeowners in stinson beach have been putting up. >> also expect busy airports and slowdowns on the road this weekend. how the labor day weekend is shaping up to be a doozy for travelers, and what you need to

speeds down the freeway in the fast lane and smashed head on into another car. what we're now learning about the driver and the victims that were killed and hundreds of elementary school students in the east bay are right now attending class at a temporary campus. we'll tell you when the students and the parents at stege elementary can expect emergency repairs to be completed from ktvu. >> fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and welcome back to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> good morning. i'm gasia mikaelian. it is tuesday, august 27th. let's check in with steve paulson to detail when a cooldown might be headed our way. >> well, if you're west, maybe today, but if you're inland like most of us, then no, that won't

be until probably friday or saturday. there was not this much fog yesterday in the city. not even close. now it will run into resistance. it will burn off. but i'm really struggling with the city forecast here today. inland. not a problem. 50s to start 52 to 59. that high says i'm here. so that's squashing the bases of the fog. that little low to the west. that's the cooldown that garcia was talking about. that will be here probably around friday saturday, hot tuesday inland. bigger fog bank though, no doubt about it here. but sunday for most inland won't matter. 80s 90s to almost the sea. note there for livermore 70 to 90. all right. sal's here this time we are going. where? >> to the south bay, steve. the south bay commute is beginning to get a little slower. and that includes the commutes getting over to the west valley. the typical ones, you can see 85, 87, 101 are going to be slow, just kind of a typical drive. and about 730 is when we start seeing the freeways get full. if you commute this way every day, there's nothing unusual. at

least there's no big crash there right now at the bay bridge toll plaza. it's pretty full. even some of those carpool lanes are slowing down. but still, if you do this every day, it shouldn't surprise you for it to be full. right here at 7.31, it is 731. let's get back to the desk. >> okay, sal. thank you. well, leaders with the west contra costa school district are giving the media a tour of a new temporary campus for hundreds of elementary school kids. ktvu is ali rasmus explains. this is all coming after the students original school campus was closed because of emergency repairs. good morning, al. >> good morning dave. we are inside the new temporary campus of stege elementary school in the city of richmond. the west contra costa school district had to very quickly in a matter of weeks, convert what is actually a wing of a middle school into an elementary school for about 250 k through fifth grade students, and that's because their original school campus had some problems. so let's take you

inside. and this is the kindergarten classroom where you can see everything is nice and brand new. they've converted this with the small desks and the little kindergarten chairs. a nice kindergarten carpet for the students to sit on and convene with their teacher every morning. so why did stege elementary, the original campus, have to shut down? the superintendent, whom we spoke to just minutes ago, said they discovered over the summer problems with mold and asbestos in that 60 year old campus that prompted the district to shut down the school and then relocate students to this temporary campus at the middle school. now, this all came as a surprise to students and families, and some were concerned about young children going to school in the same campus as middle school students. district leaders say they kept those concerns in mind when they made these changes and converted this wing. >> we actually retrofitted this building so that they have their own d and e facility, which is

part of the campus, and we actually have fencing up. so it really is segregated from the dijon middle school campus, which is own elementary school. >> earlier this summer, a group of parents and teachers filed a lawsuit against the west contra costa unified school district about stege and two other schools, claiming that those campuses were not properly maintained and had problems with mold and windows that didn't open, also had instructional problems. the school, which dates back to 1947, had been slated for reconstruction for years, but now that construction is finally happening, it's expected to take about three years to complete. so the superintendent says plans for upgrading the campus. though stege were already in the works before the lawsuit was filed. the new temporary elementary school also has new leadership, according to the superintendent, the elementary school now has a new principal and vice principal, as well as an instructional specialist, and it has no teacher vacancies. and

those instructional issues were also part of the lawsuit brought by families and teachers against the district over stege elementary. so the principal excuse me, the superintendent is pretty confident that these issues he says, have been resolved. and now for the next three years, there's 250 kids who used to go to stege elementary at the campus. the older campus now are relocated and will be attending class here in this converted middle school wing. live in richmond. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, allie. thank you. time now, 734. california lawmakers passed a bill that makes it legal for undocumented students to work at public universities. now, if the governor signs it, california will become the first state in the country to employ an undocumented students who don't have work permits. these students would be allowed to work at csu's, the state's community colleges, and possibly at ucs as well. many of these students became ineligible to

work after the daca program was frozen in 2021. governor newsom has until the end of september to sign the bill. >> we're learning more about the victims in a deadly wrong-way crash in san jose. a 47 year old woman and 14 year old boy were in a tesla on highway 85 when they were hit head on by a white truck that was going the wrong way. chp records show the victims were both from san jose. their names have not been released. one police officer says no one else was hurt as far as the crash goes itself. >> three total people involved, two vehicles. but the impact of, you know, the. i mean, talk about how it's scary or traumatic, potentially for somebody to see a vehicle traveling towards them. >> the chp identified the driver of the truck as a 39 year old man from orlando, florida. he was treated at a hospital for major injuries. >> time now 736. it appears a trend of declining traffic enforcement in san francisco is changing now, according to the chronicle, san francisco police

issued more than triple the number of traffic citations this year compared to last year at this point. however, the more than 9000 citations are still less than half of the number of citations issued pre-pandemic, and almost 90% less than ten years ago. the police say there are several reasons officers are issuing fewer tickets now. that includes staffing shortages, a drop in driving during and after the pandemic. >> the tsa says it expects its busiest labor day travel period ever soon, and it will be much the same story on the roads. millions of americans will mark the unofficial end of summer by getting out of town. triple a says lower gas prices be fueling travel plans. gas is down $0.67 a gallon this year compared to last year. >> domestic travel is up 9% compared to last year over labor day weekend, according to triple a booking data. and the price to travel domestically is down 2%. so we're paying a little bit less for those rental cars and

in some cases for certain flights. >> friday is expected to be the busiest day both on the road and in the sky. anyone driving this weekend is urged to leave as early as possible. a group of stinson beach homeowners is battling with marin county officials about whether or not some fences can stay. according to the san francisco chronicle, the county is now telling some of the homeowners to get permits for the fences. others are being told to tear them down. six homeowners say they put the fences up to protect their property from beachgoers. the county says several of the fences encroach on public property. the restaurant, private property, but need permits to remain. >> it is now 738. starting this week, a new era of stanford football begins. the cardinal will be playing in the atlantic coast conference when they play their first game of the season in palo alto on friday. it's the first time in more than 100 years stanford will play in a new athletic league. stanford is considered a home underdog to open the season against tcu, but the players say they'll be ready

to represent the cardinal during this exciting time. >> and i think game one for everyone is like, always tough. i think you prepare the best you can and you're kind of ready for stuff to be, uncertain and ready for adversity. we're preparing for a game, and everyone's got the nerves and kind of isn't in the flow yet. and i think game one is always kind of crazy and unpredictable. >> now, kickoff of friday's game at stanford stadium, 730. and tickets are still available. now cal's also playing at home this weekend for its first game as a member of the acc, uc davis will travel to the east bay for that game. cal may be heavy favorites, but one big question remains for the golden bears who's going to be their starting quarterback? head coach justin wilcox says he won't make the announcement before game day. the kickoff is at 2 p.m. saturday at cal memorial stadium. time now is 739. >> let's get out the door and

see where sal is most concerned as you monitor the morning commute. >> i was just lacking that last story. >> i know you are. cal. >> football is here, ladies and gents. all right. good morning everyone. let's go outside and take a look at the bay bridge. that's where we're going. it is backed up all the way out to the maze and this is, you know, people say, oh, my goodness, this looks terrible. well, if you compare it to what we were looking at in july, for sure. but this is the new normal now as people will adjust. i'm just checking to make sure there's nothing on the bay bridge that's new. sometimes when i, you know, when i see this, i say, is there something on there? nope. it's just the usual slow traffic. and the east bay, too. you can see highway four and 680, even 680. driving south of the venetian bridge is slow. these backups are becoming somewhat normal, so don't don't worry too much about it. southbound eight 880 is slow from hayward to fremont. i think people who drive that way every day, they know that southbound 680, there was a crash just after highway 84. now that is also slowing traffic. you can see the traffic from, let's say,

stoneridge or 580. all the way down is going to be tough if you get on the freeway after that, you're going to have a nicer drive into san jose. 740 let's go back to the desk. >> tech giant apple is expected to unveil its new iphone here in a couple of weeks. pam cook will be in studio with details on that in a second. first, though, we turn to you. >> yeah. today we're asking you, do you plan to upgrade to the newest iphone model? here are your options. yes, i'm like sal. i love new technology or no. there's no point to it. or only when my phone is old. now, if you want to vote and i know you do, just scan the qr code. it's right there on your screen right now. or you can go to ktvu. dot com slash vote. >> but when is your phone old? right. is it old? if it's two years old. is it old if it's five years old? >> it's a good question. okay. >> we'll dive deeper into these numbers through the morning. let us know what you think. we'll be

health experts say playing sports can greatly benefit a child's physical and mental health. team sports, in particular, can help strengthen

a child's social and emotional well-being. according to the american psychological association, children who aren't physically active and don't eat a healthy diet are at higher risk of chronic health conditions. behavioral problems, and depression. >> share with the kids that you know physical health and mental health is intertwined. together they can perform better if they focus on their mental health, especially athletically. and both academically. >> the federal government has set a goal to increase participation in afterschool or extracurricular sports to 63% for people ages 6 to 17. by the year 2030. the current participation rate here in california is below 50%. a well-known silicon valley tech company is getting a big investment to help it compete with companies outside the u.s, and new numbers on home prices were just released. right pam? >> yes. just getting that information in here. this. today's dollars and cents. a new report shows home prices hit a record high in june. nationally home prices were up close to

5.5% from june 2023. the top three cities showing the biggest increase. new york, san diego and las vegas. portland, oregon posted the smallest increase in home prices in the last year. now that's all. according to the s&p corelogic case-shiller u.s. national home price index as the opening bell rang this morning. investors looking to score big when it comes to the nfl. team owners are meeting. they want to be able to allow private equity firms to take up to a 10% stake in the team, which could push up the values of those franchises. all right. as we take a live look at the numbers, a little bit of a mixed picture at this hour. the markets. all three major market indexes headed slightly lower when that bell rang. the dow jones still down just a little bit. but the s&p 500 and the nasdaq have turned around a bit. they're posting some small gains at this hour. investors on wall street also will be closely following a big announcement by crowdstrike tomorrow. the cybersecurity company is set to announce its

first earnings report since its software update triggered an internet meltdown around the world. the global outage involving windows devices caused huge financial losses for airlines, banks and many other industries. you might remember, the delta airlines had a lot of problems with it. tomorrow's earnings report will give investors a clear view on crowdstrike's current efforts to recover. the biden administration announced this morning it is awarding a $50 million contract to one of silicon valley's most famous companies. the money will go to hewlett packard and its efforts to boost its semiconductor technology and expand its facility in oregon and advance its artificial intelligence applications. now, the u.s. is investing billions of dollars in science, engineering and emerging technologies to better compete with other countries. and apple is expected to unveil its new iphone in the next couple of weeks. the next big apple event is monday, september ninth at company headquarters in cupertino. the iphone 16 lineup

is rumored to have bigger screens, new color options, and apple's version of artificial intelligence. now, tech analysts say apple may also launch its newest watch series and two new versions of airpods. now, we've been talking about this in our question of the day. the time people hang on to their phones has been increasing because people haven't felt the need to upgrade, but analysts say that could change now because apple's new ai features will most likely only be accessible on the i iphone 15 or newer. so we'll see if that changes your response. i'm pam cook. that's a look at your dollars and cents. >> pam. thank you. there is now a hydrogen powered garbage truck on the streets of san francisco. the new recology truck is cleaner and quieter than the typical garbage truck. the zero emission vehicle has been picking up recycling trash and compost all around the city. this test is part of a push to get a zero emissions fleet in place by the year 2042. the hydrogen powered truck costs about twice as much as a gas

powered one. aside from the savings, though, on gas, these trucks are also much better for the environment. >> the environment is hugely important. it being quiet is like a nice now, but it being energy efficient is nice for the future, yeah. i mean, i haven't even heard about this project, so now i'm interested in going and reading more about it. >> the pilot program runs for another three and a half weeks in the city. after the pilot program, the truck will also collect trash on the peninsula and other cities in california. 749 let's see what's happening with your tuesday morning commute, sal. >> all right, garcia, thank you very much. let's go. right to some of the east bay commutes we've been looking at here. and i'll show you that 680 south is still a problem spot because of a crash just after highway 84. and is the usually goes here. it's also affecting vallecitos road for people coming out of livermore pleasanton using that. so all of a sudden we have kind of a tough commute there. and we have the dreaded 880 commute,

which whenever something happens on 680 more people go to 880. and there you go. i even see some slowing on mission boulevard today heading south. that's just one of those days it's going to be, you know, tuesday is one of the busiest days of the week. and today it's kind of living up to that. let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see that traffic is backed up all the way out to the maze. and all the approaches are slow as well. and bart has no significant delays. according to dispatchers that i just got off the phone with here. 749. let's bring steve back in with today's weather. >> all right, sal, thank you. you saw a bigger fog bank there. makes it a little challenging, i think, for the coast and the city. but we'll start out in livermore, where the temperatures have been on a climb up since last thursday, when it was a beautiful 74 degrees. then 75, then 78 shot to 86. yesterday was 94. and today we're going 98 degrees. so if you're thinking, man, this jumped up a lot. it has in the last six days, the 6 to 10 day

temperature outlook by our good friends at the climate prediction center, we call them cpc about a week ago said that the 26th to the 30th would be above. well guess what? it's above, especially inland coast is always a little dicey here. from friday to monday we had a big swing here santa rosa, boyes hot springs, northern north of sonoma, there, livermore, redwood city, morgan hill and san jose 70 to 90. morgan hill 74 to 95. boyes hot springs 7595 and livermore 75 to 90 for redwood city, though 71. friday to 90 yesterday. it's a big jump. it's august, so you know it could easily happen. these are the highs yesterday except for san francisco and oakland. everyone else on the panel. redwood city to santa rosa, all between 90 and 94 degrees. another hot day inland, probably even bayside, although with a bigger fog bank. no doubt. i think coast in the city will probably stay the same. if not, maybe a smidge cooler. there's a lot more there than we saw yesterday, but again, the bases are pretty shallow and i just

think the high is too strong here. but 5060s on the temps. not really moving out yet. 30s in the mountains. truckee, south lake tahoe to a lovely 75 down in viva las vegas. arcata 55 to 71. in san diego there's a little low out there to the west. it will get here, but not until probably the weekend for a cooldown. if you're inland, today will be hot coast and bay, mild to warm 6070s 80s inland low 90s to near 100 degrees. warm down. this is probably the hottest day. still pretty toasty. wednesday. starting to come down. thursday friday and then cooler for the weekend. >> it shouldn't happen, particularly when we're going through such a terrifically horrible budget crisis. >> frustration focused on the oakland police department coming up at 8:00. why some people are upset about a police boat that was spotted at a busy north bay restaurant, and a seven year old boy in san jose walks away from his tutoring center. and then he

was hit by a car. how he's recovering from serious injuries. two months later. and i'm so sorry jack about the mess that big yellow and i made. yeah, is there any way that i can make it up to you? actually, you could help me promote my new $6 big deal meal. you think i could be bought, you son of a— hello. this is only showing in japan, right?

i asked deadpool to show off my 100% all white meat spicy chicken strips. ...not really what i had in mind deadpool. starting at $5.50! with brand new dipping sauces. see marvel studios' deadpool and wolverine in theaters july 26th. welcome to jack in the box! back on track two months after

he was almost killed in a crash back on june 24th. seven year old bastian michel was attending a tutoring session at kumon learning when staff members lost track of him before they realized he was gone. bastian was hit by a car outside of the location on willow street, according to police reports. a neighbor who happened to be a paramedic ran to the scene, performed cpr and saved his life. today bastian is back in school, but he's still recovering from the accident. >> mornings we have a lot of meds that he has to take. he doesn't have a spleen anymore, so it is something you can live with, but it requires a lot of medication. >> after the crash, doctors said bastian may struggle to walk again. now they say he could be running by the end of this year. his family, by the way, is preparing to file a lawsuit against the tutoring center. well, the u.s. department of

transportation is awarding $150 million for california alternative fuel projects here in the bay area. bart will be getting $14 million to implement ev charging stations across its various parking lots. right now, only the lafayette and warm springs bart stations have the ev chargers on a test basis. while it's a step in the right direction, some drivers are still hesitant to make that big step towards going all electric. >> there's still a lot more that needs to be done. and, you know, particularly for folks who don't have a garage or a dedicated parking spot with an electrical outlet. >> pure electric for me know, because as a renter, you never know if you're going to be able to plug in at home. so then you have to make time. and where i work, my place of business, we do not have plug ins. >> now, most of the money will be spent on building hydrogen, fueling and ev charging stations on interstate five for big rigs. well, back to school spending this year is expected to hit

almost $40 billion. the national retail federation says that's down a bit from the record $41 billion. the parents spent last year on school supplies. economists say it's a combination of inflation and school districts around the country running low on funding. that's putting more pressure on parents to pick up the costs. >> five little boys, myself and i was stunned the other day when we got four out of the five of their back to school lists. we're not talking about haircuts. we're not talking about clothes, sneakers, everything else that little boys need to go back to school. just the school supplies. and it was $950. >> i haven't really seen too many deals like i used to. like ten cent or five cent notebooks and stuff like that. everything just seems like it's way more expensive than it used to be. >> and parents are expected to spend about $875 on electronics, clothing, shoes, accessories and school supplies. economists say the best deals this year are online and also use generic

compared to the popular name brands. the san francisco chronicle marathon is now issuing refunds after a measuring mistake. sfgate reports marathon organizers are now offering the half marathon participants 50% refunds after the marathon. they they said the city hall half of the marathon was only 12.6 miles long instead of 13.1 miles back in june. that mistake did not affect the full marathon. well, one of the world's most popular and best known artists performers will no longer perform at next month's dreamforce in san francisco. elton john was due to sing at the event's benefit concert, dream fest dreamforce. organizers announced that elton john, who's 77 years old, will not perform because of unforeseen circumstances. is would have been the rock and roll hall of fame artist's first

performance in the bay area since his farewell yellow brick road tour last year. now pink and imagine dragons will be headlining dream fest, which by the way, is scheduled for september 18th at oracle park. >> we know, i know that you don't feel safe because what you see on the news every day is talking about crime within the city of oakland. but what we're doing is working. >> oakland city leaders come face to face with frustrated residents. why? some oaklanders say the numbers that show crime is down don't reflect their reality. and what the mayor says is key to improving public safety. then a plan to ban artificial turf in the south bay. the proposal county leaders are set to take up, and who could be dramatically impacted. >> from ktvu, fox two news this is mornings on two. >> good morning and welcome back. and this is going to be the final day of heat far inland but much milder temperatures are greeting you if you live in or

around san francisco. we see the clouds and fog there. it's looking beautifully mild. what can i tell you? we ran the ac yesterday. i think we'll do it again today. >> you still have to walk and jog? >> no, i'm putting that on hold. okay, i'll make it up when temperatures drop. thank you for being with us. good morning. i'm gasia mikaelian and good morning, i'm dave clark. >> welcome to tuesday. it's august 27th and welcome to steve paulson. he has all your information about our weather. >> well garcia was spot on there with bigger fog bank, no doubt about it. and with that coast and bay in the city might not be as hot as yesterday. inland, it won't matter. but you can see there's plenty of low clouds there. that's a much stronger fog bank. and bigger coverage than yesterday by far. but inland you can see the bases are extremely low. so 50s, almost 60s for some here it won't take long inland to jump up that low. far to the west. will be here for the weekend for a cooldown, but hot tuesday inland we'll see mid 90s, maybe a few upper 90s 80s to low 90s maybe and around the bay, but closer to the coast

and bay. i think it's going to be a push. their 60s and 70s. all right. sal's here. usually we head south around this time. >> yeah, we have to go to the sunol grade, steve. southeast, if you will. east bay transition in the south end. there's a crash southbound 680. it's been there since about 725. this morning. and it really is causing the big hurt on 680 and on vallecitos road. this crash involved several vehicles. at one point, it was blocking three lanes. it seems like they're making progress, but it really is having an effect here and also having an effect on nearby 880. let's talk about the south bay commute. that's filled in. although we haven't had a lot of crashes. this is a busy time for that silicon valley commute. getting over to cupertino and sunnyvale and at the bay bridge, we're backed up to the maze. 802 let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal. happening today, the santa clara county supervisors will debate whether to ban artificial turf on fields. ktvu james torres live in santa clara to share why the conversation is getting a lot of

attention here. james gasia earlier this year, the board of supervisors in the county asked the administration to look into a health study and a health review about how dangerous artificial turf can be if it's used in county facilities. >> and it's gotten a lot of attention already. just two weeks ago, at a at a county board meeting, there were several people who came out to speak their mind. >> i'm a long time soccer mom. i advocate for youth sports, but i, along with many other soccer families, do not advocate for artificial grass for obvious reasons. it's plastic. it's uncomfortable. it's uncomfortably hot and dangerously hot. >> i believe the risk of kids not playing year round is greater than the risk of synthetic turf field, and currently, the city of san jose is about 100 fields short, and 50 of them are soccer fields. >> we're starting to learn some details about that health review, and it will be the

ultimate influence in how supervisors decide to vote. a ban has also been supported so far by the santa clara county medical association. according to a review done by the public health department. artificial turf can be linked to some potential dangers, but it says many of the studies it's reviewed makes it hard to make a clear case to be for or against it. for example, researchers say turf does get much hotter than natural grass, but it can't conclude if that difference in heat contributes more to injuries or illness. there's also some concern about pfas, or forever chemicals used in the turf that have been linked to cancer, the review says. most turf does contain those chemicals, but it's not clear to what extent using the turf quote causes meaningful human exposure to those chemicals. so in essence, the review did identify some potential dangers. but in most cases can't conclude just how dangerous the turf really is. those against the ban say turf is cheaper. it's easier to

maintain the natural natural grass. you use a lot less water, and it was a good substitute during the drought. and it gives children the opportunity. many more opportunities to play some of the sports they love. the board of supervisors is expected to take on this conversation and go to a vote later this afternoon after 1:00. we're live this morning in santa clara. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james, thank you. new this morning. an investigation is underway after a person in custody at the county jail in richmond died yesterday afternoon. the contra costa county sheriff's department says deputies found him unresponsive in his cell around 2 p.m. the man was later pronounced dead. he was the only one in the cell. his identity has not been released. investigators say the death does not appear to be suspicious. >> our time now 805. police in dublin investigating two controversial incidents at dublin high school, including an attack on a student. the bay area news group reports the principal announced that five people went into the boy's locker room last week and

attacked a teenager, a football coach and some players were there. they stopped the attack. now the police are trying to identify the attackers. dublin high school was also briefly locked down a week ago. after there was a phony report that there was a fight on campus involving a deadly weapon. >> tonight is the third in a week long series of community safety forums in oakland. it will be held at fremont high school on foothill boulevard. dozens of people attended last night's town hall at saint john's episcopal church. they heard from city leaders, including mayor sheng tao and the police chief, floyd mitchell. they touted statistics that show progress in fighting crime, but many in the audience said those numbers don't reflect their reality. >> see no results out in the street with sideshows, robberies, strong armed robberies, carjackings, shootings. i mean, they're just they're continual. >> this is the worst i've ever seen. this is the worst i've ever seen. and sometimes i drive down the street and i have to just stop and look because i'm

not accustomed to it looking like it's been in a world war three of oakland. >> and so they giggled and they said mayor tao and chief mitchell talked about using technology such as real time images from street cameras and getting support from other law enforcement agencies, including the chp. we know that we don't have enough police officers. we can't afford them. but that doesn't mean that we use that as an excuse or a reason not to ensure that our people feel safe. >> we have reduced our violent crimes when it comes to murders, aggravated assault, sexual assaults or rapes and robberies by over 15% this last year. >> chief mitchell also touted the police department's sideshow details, saying dedicated officers go out every friday and saturday night. so again, the next oakland town hall is tonight at fremont high school. then thursday it's at allen temple baptist church. the last forum is friday at the oakland asian cultural center. all of these meetings go from 530 to 7:30 p.m. >> all right. gasia times. 807. there's criticism of the oakland police department after photos surfaced of the department's

police boat, seen at a popular restaurant in tiburon. ktvu henry lee says women, men and children were all seen on that boat, but there were no officers in uniform on board. >> these are photos of an oakland police boat docked at tiburon in marin county, and what appears to be two men, two women and three children, including a toddler, on board. the women appear to have drinks in hand. an amateur sailor spotted the boat at sam's anchor cafe at about 4:00 saturday afternoon, and sent ktvu the photos, concerned about whether the boat was being used for non-official business. that sailor told us no one was in uniform. tiburon is about 12 miles away from the boat's home port at oakland's jack london square. we did see the boat docked there on monday. >> it's the city's boat. it's the city's gas. >> jim shannon is a civil rights attorney who monitors the oakland police. >> if it's not for a sanctioned oakland police department event, then it shouldn't happen,

particularly when we're going through such a terrifically horrible budget crisis. >> we asked oakland police for a response, and the department sent us a one sentence email saying they're, quote, looking into these allegations. police did not elaborate as to whether the boat was there on any official capacity. >> that's a funny word to use. if you're doing some good deed and no one knows about it. >> well, i'd say it is a knee jerk reaction. you don't know the facts. so before you start complaining, find out what was going on. >> larry goodman is a retired alameda county judge and licensed merchant mariner who once piloted an alameda county sheriff's boat. >> there's nothing nefarious about the fact that the patrol boat is over at sam's with some civilians on it. >> goodman says there could be many innocent explanations for what happened. >> it could be a public relations trip. it could be just like a police ride along where they just take people from the public and give them a tour, show them the boat. >> the unit has also investigated break ins on boats

and along oakland's embarcadero. but goodman says local police boats have jurisdiction across the entire bay and have helped out for rescues and security at fleet week. >> so they're not limited to the, you know, the i guess it would be the east side of the estuary on the open side of that part of the of the bay. >> reaction on both sides of the bay was just about the same. >> i think there's too much unanswered questions to really say. >> you know, normally i think it wouldn't be an issue, but it's hard not knowing the full situation and context. >> oakland police boats have previously been seen here in tiburon. it remains to be seen if the latest trip was a pleasure cruise of some kind, or a legitimate outing in tiburon. henry lee ktvu, fox two news. >> time is 810 and we do have a busy tuesday underway for the morning commute. if you're trying to cross a bridge, for example, the bay bridge, very slow traffic here. it's just one of those things where it is going to be a tough commute all the way across. but we've had

some tougher areas. 683 concord walnut creek highway for interstate 80, but perhaps the toughest is southbound 680 at 84. they're clearing a three car wreck whenever something like this happens there, it affects not only 680 or 84, but also people get on interstate 880 instead. those who can. and it really makes the whole region much slower. at 810, let's go back to the desk. okay, sal. >> well, members of congress toured the site of donald trump's outdoor rally in pennsylvania, where he was almost assassinated last month. the new task force looking into the shooting and what they hope to find out

i'll say what city hall insiders won't. we have a drug, homelessness, and economic recovery crisis, because the system that's supposed to fix things is the problem. record budgets. fewer officers. business killing bureaucracy. the insiders won't change a system built for their benefit. i'm daniel lurie and san francisco needs a mayor unafraid to take on the status quo, bring accountability, and stop the excuses.

the assassination attempt against donald trump. the republican presidential nominee wants to know why law enforcement froze when they first saw the gunman. the house lawmakers went to the pennsylvania fairgrounds in butler, pennsylvania, where that shooting occurred back on july 13th. they say it's too early to tell if there was any criminal negligence, but they want to figure out who was in charge of the assignment to protect donald trump.

>> burning question is always going to be with me. there was knowledge ahead of time that there was a person of suspicion on that roof and armed. the key was get the former president of the united states off the podium. >> now, the bipartisan task force is still trying to interview federal, state and local officials, along with the people who were there at the rally that day. five secret service agents have been placed on administrative leave for that security failure. here at home, the nonprofit group behind the stern grove festival in san francisco, now suing the city because of a flood that occurred three years ago in 2021. a ruptured water main on sloat boulevard caused thousands of gallons of water to spill from city streets into stern grove's outdoor amphitheater. the lawsuit, that was filed last week in san francisco superior court, is seeking $336,000 in damages. the stern grove festival association says that amount represents damage costs.

plus, the cleanup and lost revenue tied to the flooding. well, a year and a half after it was badly damaged in the storm, people can once again head out onto the capitola wharf. now it's not open all the way to the end yet. the work is still going on, but visitors can walk out onto the wharf and enjoy that beautiful water. the grand reopening is scheduled for the wharf next month. the pier in capitola was badly damaged in january of 2023, in strong winter storms out there. the crews had to demolish several of the structures on the wharf because of that damage. >> 816 here, people in las vegas may want to mark their calendars for october 9th, as the tropicana resort is set to come down with a spectacular light show. bally's corporation said it has to blow up the resort's two hotel towers on that date. it's now waiting for approval from county leaders before the implosion. bally's and the oakland a's plan to host a drone and fireworks display to

commemorate the moment that is the future site of the a's ballpark in las vegas. >> time is now 816. this week's episode of our ktvu show, talk of the town, is especially timely, with students back in school right now. now, i spoke with monet brown, the founder of not our kids, which is dedicated to protecting kids online. monet brown uses her more than 20 years of law enforcement experience to help make sure kids are safe on the internet. >> what i saw is that a lot of parents were unaware that their children were meeting these people through the phones, that they were paying for every month, that they didn't have the passwords. they had never searched their kids phones. but back then we were as pos. we were able to go through the kids phones and we were able to show the parents, like, are you aware of this? know and i believe now. >> monet brown points out, a lot has changed since many parents were kids themselves, and sharing too much personal

you have any flexibility at all to use it. this morning. i know that this time of the year, it's like it's not a lot of flexibility. this is a look at northbound 101 right near 85. there's a crash there. but also the rest of that valley is very filled in. so definitely very slow. let's talk about the bay bridge that is backed up to. so tuesday tends to be the busiest day of the week. i guess they went to you a little early, steve. >> that's all right, sal. i'm ready. i was going to say flexibility. what's that? sal? i don't have that anymore. >> i used to have that. >> you used to have that. thank you sir. they went to me anyway. that's all right. bigger fault. what i was doing was putting that together for you. the visible satellite that is much bigger than yesterday. but it is limited. it's not going to help anybody inland. and what's interesting, and i'll show you in just a second, is, is what's going on with the observations. and i'll give you a little cue there. rising high temps in livermore going back to the 22nd, 74, 75, 78, 86. yesterday, 94 today we're going 98 on the

high side. when will it go down? maybe maybe a degree or two tomorrow. i think. but going back to friday on the high temps for santa rosa, boyes hot springs, livermore, redwood city, morgan hill and san jose from the 70s to the 90s. morgan hill 74 friday 95. yesterday redwood city 71 friday to 90 and you can see livermore, boyes hot springs, santa rosa, san jose. we're all in there as well. it was hot yesterday for some that did not take long from redwood city's 90. san jose, san rafael, napa, concord. santa rosa to 94. oakland 85. the city 78. end of august. going into september is always the toughest time for the city. another hot day inland will be today. i think today is the hottest day really. there's pretty good fog bank as you saw on the coast there. now, some of that's been kind of sneaking in right there over the golden gat, heading over to berkeley, emeryville, albany. i think it's on borrowed time. but that was not there yesterday. now look at this santa rosa, napa, fairfield, concord, oakland all say calm. and the wind

direction, though, is slightly northerly. half moon bay, sfo, palo alto, hayward, mountain view, san jose, livermore, all calm. i couldn't tell you the last time i saw that yet. they're all out a little teeny teeny direction out of the north. kind of interesting. you don't see that all that often here. even s san francisco out to fairfield. sfo is calm that that's a rarity. but 5060s on the temps here that little low to the far west will be here for a weekend. cool down. but today, if you're inland, it's just wave the white flag or turn on the ac or get those fans cranked up because it will be hot for many 90s to near 100 coast in the city are a little dicey, a little iffy with. so we'll go 6070 there, but inland bayside should not be a problem for warm to hot temps should start to ease off thursday and then more so as the low comes in. i mentioned on the weekend for a cool down. >> all right steve, it's 821. we've been warned by steve. and with the news coming out that apple is about to unveil its new iphone in just a couple of

chronicle reports. a liberty mutual fire insurance company, a subsidiary of liberty mutual, will not renew policies of 17,000 customers. the issue involves dwelling fire insurance that provides less coverage than standard homeowner policies. now, liberty mutual blames antiquated gear that can't properly manage dwelling fire policies, and that it's impractical to create a whole new system. major insurance companies like state farm and allstate announced earlier this year it's dropping thousands of policies or pausing any new coverage because of wildfire risks. >> a family says its christmas tree farm burned down in the park fire, which is still burning in four northern california counties. andras and emma bobadilla bought the farm in tehama county two years ago. they now say their dream is dashed. they say they didn't have fire insurance on the property when it burned down, because no one would insure them due to the location. they're now

paying out of pocket as they work to rebuild all that was lost. >> pretty much just going to do what we've done to the entire first half of our lives and just work for it. and, you know, just make it happen. just, one step at a time, make our plans and work on it a little bit at a time. >> earlier this month, the couple started a gofundme account to help raise money to rebuild the family hopes to reopen the farm in the next few years. >> time now 826. a win for access advocates in a beach battle. we'll tell you what marin county just said about fences that some homeowners in stinson beach have been putting out. >> and a wrong-way driver. a south bay highway accident leaves a woman and teenage boy dead where the crash happened, and where the driver who caused it is this

at a temporary campus. we'll tell you when students and parents at stege elementary can expect emergency repairs to be completed. >> plus, it may be hard to believe, but levi's stadium is now ten years old. so what's in store for the future? i'm mark sayer. i'll tell you about some planned improvements. just ahead from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and welcome back to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> good morning. i'm gasia mikaelian. it is tuesday, august 27th. one of the best parts of being in front of a window on

the oakland estuary is that we can check the weather just by turning around. steve paulson i don't know that there is a cloud in the sky back here. >> you know what? i'm down here in the bunker. >> i know you are. >> i'd rather be up there with you too, but you guys have a great view up there. hopefully we can get that done someday soon. but gas is right now again. there's some areas where the fog is creeping across, mainly right across parts, right over to oakland or excuse me, berkeley. emeryville. looks like albany. i don't think that's going to last long, but this is a much bigger fog bank than we saw yesterday. even though there was nothing at santa cruz yesterday, there is today. now, the key, though, is it's only on the coast. it's already starting to retreat over the city and temps are on their way up inland. livermore is out of the gate already at 67. it will be hot inland today. it may be bayside. might get a light breeze. i think more likely that's tomorrow. so it's a little tricky forecast by the coast and in the city, but inland it will be 90 to almost 100 degrees. all right. sal is here south this time, east and south. >> that's where most of the slow

traffic is, steve. first of all, there was a stalled vehicle in oakland near our traffic camera on interstate 880 northbound. you can see slow traffic. and by the way, it continues even past that up to downtown oakland today. definitely vying for the busiest day of the week already. here we are tuesday only it's backed up to the maze there. and as steve mentioned, the south bay. that is no picnic. we had some earlier problems on southbound 680 this morning. we also did have some slow traffic if you are driving. looks like well, looks like my maps aren't working. so we'll go back to the desk. >> leaders of the west contra costa unified school district are giving the media a tour of a new temporary campus for hundreds of elementary school students. as ktvu erasmus explains, it comes after the students original school campus had to be shut down for emergency repairs. ali garcia, i'm going to step out of the way so we can show you the cuteness out here. >> the school day is just good morning. school day is just

about to get underway here at the new stege elementary campus. good morning. have a great day. these are kindergartners and teachers who just got dropped off by the bus here. and they are heading into class. the reason they took a bus here is because the original stege elementary campus has been shut down for emergency repairs. so now they've opened a new wing and converted a wing of the of a different middle school to convert it into about 12 kindergarten through sixth grade classrooms. and in order to make it easier for families to get to this location instead of their original school, the district is providing busses and bus transportation for about 130 students at stege elementary. their families have opted into that bus transportation, so that's why those teachers and kindergartners were coming here by bus. now we can show you inside this new temporary campus that just opened up for this school year. we can show you some of the video from that. and you can see in just about four

weeks, the west contra costa unified school district transformed a wing of the middle school campus into this elementary school. the original elementary school, as we mentioned, had to close for emergency repairs. the superintendent says that campus. it was discovered over the summer that there were problems with mold and asbestos, prompting them to shut it down and then relocate students to this temporary campus. it came as a surprise to students and families, and some were concerned about young children going to school at the same site as middle school students, but the district says that they have put up a fence and this wing with the younger kids is completely separate from the middle school kids. and the first day of school here was two weeks ago. the principal says the students here are adjusting well. >> this was done in less than four weeks and the school district really came together. like all school district personnel, in the last few days before school started, we had dozens of personnel from central office come and help. and so it

really took a village. >> now stege elementary, being rebuilt after 60 years. the superintendent says the planning for that reconstruction started in the spring. however, in june there was a lawsuit filed against the school district. west contra costa, unified by a group of parents and teachers who said that the district delayed rebuilding and making repairs to stege and two other campuses. they claimed in the lawsuit that the buildings were not properly maintained and not properly staffed. now the new temporary stege elementary also has new leadership. not only is it new desks and new equipment inside, but they have a new principal and vice principal and instructional specialist, and all of the teacher positions have been filled, we're told, by the superintendent. so they're hoping to alleviate some of those concerns about the school being properly staffed. and for the next three years, though, this will be the temporary site for the 230 kids enrolled in k through two k through sixth

grade at stege elementary. and the school day just getting underway here on the campus. live in richmond. allie rasmus ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. ali thank you. time is 835. california lawmakers passed a bill to make it legal for undocumented students to work at public universities. now, if the governor signs it, california will become the first state in the nation to employ undocumented students who don't have work permits. these to work at csu's, at the state, or at ucs as well. many of these students became ineligible to work after the daca program was frozen back in 2021. governor newsom has until the end of september to sign the bill. >> we're learning more about the victims in a deadly wrong-way crash in san jose. a 47 year old woman and 14 year old boy were in a tesla on highway 85 when they were hit head on by a white truck going the wrong way. chp records show the victims were

both from san jose. their names have not been released. as far as the crash goes itself, three total people involved, two vehicles. >> but the impact of, you know, the. i mean, talk about how it's scary or traumatic, potentially for somebody to see a vehicle traveling towards them. >> the chp identified the driver of the truck as a 39 year old man from orlando, florida. he was treated at a hospital for major injuries. >> well, it appears a trend of declining traffic enforcement in san francisco may be changing. the chronicle reports san francisco police issued more than triple the number of traffic citations this year compared to last year. at this point. however, the more than 9000 citations are still less than half of the number of citations issued pre-pandemic and almost 90% less than ten years ago. police say there are several reasons the officers are issuing fewer tickets now. that includes staffing shortages and also a drop in driving during and after the pandemic.

>> a group of stinson beach homeowners is battling with marin county officials about whether or not some fences can stay. according to the san francisco chronicle, the county is now telling some of the homeowners to get permits. others are being told to tear the fences down. six homeowners say they put the fences up to protect their property from beachgoers. the county says several of the fences encroach on public property. the rest are on private property, but need permits to remain. >> your time is now 837 new. this morning, the san francisco 49ers say the team will invest $200 million to improve the fan experience at levi's stadium. the stadium just turned ten years old, and the 49ers say they look forward to hosting world cup soccer matches. and also the super bowl in the coming years. ktvu mark sayer takes a look at what's in store and what the construction begin. >> it was april 19th of 2012 when the 49ers officially broke

ground on levi's stadium, and it opened in the summer of 2014. in the first ten years, the stadium has already hosted the super bowl, along with international soccer matches and major concerts. and now, as the stadium enters its second decade, the team is making a big investment. >> and so we're really excited about what we're doing here at levi's stadium. the concourses, they illuminate the stadium. >> francine melendez hughes is the general manager of stadium operations. she says the goal is to keep the fan experience moving forward. we're always looking to reinvest into the stadium to ensure that it's up to the most technologically advanced stadium venue out there. both video boards at either end zone will be upgraded, giving the stadium the largest 4k display of any nfl stadium in the nation. new led field lights will be installed, which will save energy and also brighten the playing field for primetime night games and new wi-fi six systems are being installed. stadium wide, with more than 1300 access points.

>> so for us, investing into the fan experience, whether it's frictionless technology at the concession stands, so they're minimizing their wait time or wi-fi or 5g so that they're able to get their text messages out there and send pictures and just really enjoy their their time here. >> and here's one area that most fans don't often get to see. the luxury boxes. but like any nfl stadium, corporate sponsorship is critical to the team, to the stadium, and they drive sales. that goes right to the local tax base. so all 120 of these boxes are also being upgraded. >> as the stadium operator, you always want to put money into the stadium. it's all about the first class fan experience. >> levi's is looking forward to the 20 2425 nfl season, and in 2026, will host six fifa world cup matches and also super bowl 60. reporting in santa clara. mark sayer ktvu, fox two news.

>> all right, mark, thank you. time is 840 for san francisco. a first in the nation. the new garbage truck taking a trip into the future along city streets

focus is also on fall sports. mental health experts say playing sports can really benefit the physical and mental health of a child. team sports in particular, can help strengthen a child's social and emotional well-being. the american psychological association says children who are not physically active and don't eat a healthy diet are at a higher risk of chronic health conditions, behavior problems, and also depression. >> share with the kids that you know physical health and mental health is intertwined. together, they can perform better if they focus on their mental health, especially athletically. and both academically. >> now the federal government set a goal to increase participation in afterschool or extracurricular sports to 63% for those between 6 to 17 years old. by the year 2030. the current participation rate here in california is under 50%.

well, some new help for people who are trying to afford some of the new weight loss drugs. >> cam cook is in studio again with that and also new numbers on the housing market in today's dollars and cents. >> yes, a little bit encouraging mixed news on home sales. a lot of people looking for this. a new report showing home prices hit a record high in june. nationally, home prices were up close to 5.5% from june 2023. the top three cities with the biggest increase. new york, san diego, las vegas. portland, oregon posted the smallest increase in home prices in the last year. that's all according to the s&p corelogic case-shiller index. a lot of it has to do with interest rates. we'll talk more about that in a second. as the opening bell rang this morning. investors are waiting to see what happens at an nfl meeting today. team owners are expected to vote to allow select private equity firms to invest in pro football teams and take a 10% stake in up

to six teams. analysts say that translates to an average of $500 million in added capital to teams that attract those investments. all right. as we take a live look at the numbers a little bit of a mixed picture. the dow jones has continued lower in the last hour or so. now down as you can see, just about a quarter of a percent. the s&p 500 and the nasdaq have been flirting a bit with a little bit of a gain to a little bit of a loss. no big swings. but right now all three are down this morning. mark zuckerberg says during the pandemic. the biden administration pressured facebook to censor covid 19 content. now, the meta ceo wrote a letter to the republican chair of the house judiciary committee accusing the white house of repeatedly pressuring the social media company to take down certain covid related content, including satire. now, zuckerberg argues that the government should not be involved in social media content. the white house responded, saying that the

administration encouraged responsible actions on social media to protect public health and safety. and eli lilly, launching a lower priced weight loss drug without an injector pen. the drugmaker announced starter doses of the weight loss drug are now available. the company says it will significantly expand supply as it sees continued high demand. instead of a preloaded injector pen. patients will use a syringe to draw the medicine themselves. the starting price $400 a month, which is less than half the cost of the pens. the hope is that more people will be able to afford the weight loss drug and more insurance plans will cover it. with that lower price and home buyers are keeping a close eye on potential rate cuts from the federal reserve and how it might affect the housing market. right now, there is a shortage of homes for sale, mostly fueled by a phenomenon called the lockin effect. redfin reports 85% of people with mortgages have an interest rate below 6%.

roughly 20% have a rate below 3%. that means at current rates, there's less incentive for them to sell their homes because they would have a much higher rate for a new loan on a new home. i'm pam cook. let's look at your dollars and cents. >> pam. thank you. there's a new hydrogen powered garbage truck on san francisco streets. the new recology truck is cleaner and quieter than your typical garbage truck. the zero emission vehicle has been picking up, recycling trash and compost all around the city. it's a test that's part of a push to get a zero emissions fleet in place by 2042. the hydrogen powered trucks cost about twice as much as the gas powered ones. but aside from the savings on gas, they're much better for the environment. >> the environment is hugely important. it being quiet is like a nice now, but it being energy efficient is nice for the future, yeah. i mean, i haven't even heard about this project, so now i'm interested in going and reading more about it. that's exactly what the pilot program runs for another three and a half weeks in the city.

>> after that, the truck will collect trash on the peninsula and other cities in california. later this year. >> our time is 848. this is just for gasia. here's some places you definitely would not want to get stuck during a storm. suspended in the air, almost 243ft above the ground. these amusement park riders were left dangling over six flags méxico last week. a storm disrupted the ride operations. the riders were pelted with rain and wind. they were stuck there for ten minutes, according to one passenger. park officials said the storm got even more intense. they couldn't get the riders down before the storm hit. officials later apologized and said no injuries were reported. >> no thank you. yeah. 849. let's get out the door here. there's a bart issue you're focusing on, right, sal? >> that's right. bart has police activity at the west dublin station, and it has been forced to close that station for the time being. now, the other big problem is the in that general

area, southbound 680 is a huge mess coming out of dublin, there was this crash that really has been there for a long time now, and traffic is not only backed up on vallecitos all the way into livermore, but 680 is a mess and 880 has been slow as well. and people using 880 instead of 680 this morning. we also look at the south bay commute. that's all full. this is definitely the busiest day of the week. northbound 85 near fremont. there's a crash there, but really that's just adding more fuel to the fire. it was already really slow in that area. and the bay bridge is still backed up to the maze. so yeah, this is one of the busiest days we've seen in a while. 849 let's go back to steve with today's weather. >> all right. thank you. you probably saw in that last traffic some fog. this is why we have the microclimates here. we'll el cerrito looks like it just burned off albany. berkeley. emeryville. berkeley. marina. yet? you go east. it's already burned off on the east side of 80. it's burned off. or at least close to it. yet on the

west side, you still get some fog. it won't last much longer, but it's just kind of cool to see. also, through the gate there. you know, and then heading out towards the golden gate and on the coast. that is a far bigger fog bank than we saw yesterday. so initial impacts inland. it's like it doesn't matter. but coast might be a little cooler today because that's a much bigger fog than livermore the past six days from 74, 75, 78, 86, 94. and today we're going 98. that's a heck of a spread there for august. but that's what we had from that low to now. the high pressure system and the highs on friday to monday. that didn't take long did it? santa rosa boyes hot springs, livermore, redwood city, morgan hill and san jose from 70 to 90. morgan hill 74 to 95. redwood city 71 to 90 degrees from friday to monday. another hot day inland, probably bayside as well, although that fog on the coast, even though it will probably get chewed up, i think that will take the edge off a couple of degrees from yesterday. look at every

reporting station saying calm, yet every arrow wind direction is slightly northerly. you don't see this, all this, all that often. especially, you know, somebody usually has a puff of a breeze. but even sfo out to out to travis. you know fairfield is slight northerly yet calm. that is a rarity 6070 already on the temps mainly 50s and 60s. that little low there to the west, far left of your screen. that will be here for a weekend. cool down. but today it's a sunny side up and it's going to get hot for many here. we'll see some mid to upper 90s. i think even bayside 80s don't think a breeze is really going to save anyone today, but this does look like the hottest day of the week. we'll start to ease up a teeny bit. wednesday more so thursday than that low to the west will start to move towards us. that will open the door to a cool down for the weekend. you guys. >> thank you steve. following news that apple is expected to unveil its new iphone in just a few weeks, we want to know do you upgrade to the newest phone model? we see the largest group of you by far two thirds only

when my phone is old. 67%. the next largest group, say 21%. now there's really no point. 12% of you say, yup, i love my new tech. you can vote with your old or new phone by scanning the qr code at the top right of your screen, or just head to ketv.com/vote. >> all right, gasia times 852 young americans spending a staggering amount of money on rent. we'll tell you where california ranks when you join us on the nine. >> the seven year old boy walked away from a tutoring center and was hit by a car. how he's recovering fro rious ju

was nearly killed in a crash back on june 2724. seven year old bastian michel was at a tutoring center at kumon learning when staff members lost track of him before they realized he was gone. bastian was hit by a car outside the

tutoring center on willow street. according to police reports, a neighbor who's a paramedic ran to the scene, performed cpr and saved his life. today, bastian is back in school and is defying the odds. >> in the mornings, we have a lot of meds that he has to take. he doesn't have a spleen anymore, so it is something you can live with, but it requires a lot of medication. >> after the crash, doctors said he would likely struggle to walk again. well, not only is he walking his parents say bastian could be running by the end of the year. his family is preparing to file a lawsuit against the tutoring center. >> our time now. 856. the lead singer of a rock band is in the spotlight right now. after having a meltdown near yosemite national park. the mariposa county sheriff's office says 40 year old anthony mehlhaf walked up to a pregnant waitress, put his hand on her belly, and then said he wanted her baby. then he stole several drinks, took off

towards yosemite national park before crashing his car. then he stole a bike and told people, i'm going to be famous. eventually, he was arrested. he's facing several charges. mel laugh is the lead singer of the band cancer. christ. that band is expected to issue a statement about this later today. well, the department of transportation is awarding $150 million for california alternative fuel projects. and here in the bay area, bart will be getting 14 million to implement ev charging stations around its various parking lots. right now, only the lafayette and warm springs bart stations have ev chargers. on a test basis. while it's a step in the right direction, some drivers are still hesitant about making that big step towards going all electric. >> there's still a lot more that needs to be done. and, you know, particularly for folks who don't have a garage or a dedicated parking spot with an electrical

outlet here. >> electric for me know, because as a renter, you never know if you're going to be able to plug in at home. so then you have to make time. and where i work, my place of business, we do not have plug ins, and most of the money will be spent on building hydrogen, fueling and ev charging stations on interstate five for big rigs. >> back to school spending this year is expected to hit nearly $40 billion, according to the national retail federation. that's down slightly from the record 41 billion parents spent on school supplies in 2023. economists say it's a combination of inflation and parents buying more on their own, because school districts across the country are running low on funding and can't provide all the essentials, like in years past. >> we have five little boys, myself and i was stunned the other day when we got four out of the five of their back to school lists. we're not talking about haircuts. we're not talking about clothes, sneakers, everything else that little boys need to go back to school. just the school supplies. and it was $950. >> i haven't really seen too many deals like i used to. like

ten cent or five cent notebooks and stuff like that. everything just seems like it's way more expensive than it used to be. >> parents are expected to spend about $875 on electronics, clothing, shoes, accessories, school supplies. many families are searching for deals online and turning to store brand supplies in an effort to save money. the san francisco marathon is now offering refunds to some runners, after a measuring error meant one of the races fell short. sfgate reports marathon organizers are offering the half marathon participants a refund of half their registration fee. that's because the city hall half marathon back in june was only 12.6 miles. instead of the 13.1 it should have been. the error did not affect the full marathon. >> a devastating deadly crash in the south bay. >> it's scary or traumatic, potentially for somebody to see a vehicle traveling towards them. >> a wrong-way driver barreling down a highway before smashing head on into another vehicle. >> then tonight, oakland continues its wee
