behind this. >> throw the dolls aside. >> look at her now. >> an origin story right here. >> exactly, how it all started. country music legend reba mcintyre officially announced as the newest judge on the hit singing show "the voice." she's going to join for season 24. this is not her first appearance on the show. she was a super mentor this season and she will replace blake shelter, who has won the most seasons there on "the voice." mcentire says she hopes to surpass shelton's expectations. >> i'll make him proud. that's what i'm worried about, is making him proud. i hope he's not disappointed and disgusted after the first season saying, oh, my gosh, what have i done? >> you can catch "the voice" next monday for part 1 of their

two-part season finale at 8:00 p.m. right now at 6:00, a frightening ride for b.a.r.t. riders as a train strikes a truck and it was stuck on the tracks. we're going to update you on injuries overnight and whether it may impact your morning commute. >> if you allow a black person to be executed in the street, that tells me that black lives don't matter to you. >> demanding justice. san francisco authorities releasing surveillance video of the deadly walgreens shooting, sparking a new round of protests and calls for criminal charges. ahead in a live report, the new response from d.a. brooke jenkins at her refusal to bow to pressure. >> and a controversial plan to roll out expensive new trash cans suddenly put on hold in san francisco. the new fears prompting that pause. this is "today in the bay." tuesday morning is here, and so are we. thanks so much for joining us this morning. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia.

we'll check that morning commute with mike in just a little bit. we're talking about a tiny warm-up with meteorologist kari hall. >> it really just depends on where you are because not everyone is going to see the warm-up. this is the inland valleys that are going to really notice the difference. as we take a look at san rafael, starting out with low clouds and fog, that will keep those temperatures down there. it's 54 degrees and we'll start to see a little bit more sun at 9:00 and then as we go into the rest of today, all clear and sunny and it's going to be a nice one as our temperatures head up for the low 80s. upper 70s expected for napa with martinez reaching 85 degrees. upper 80s for the inland valleys, but still in the 60s near the coast and parts of the peninsula. mike, you were hearing about a hazard on the bay bridge. >> i want to show you our view from emeryville. there's lower visibility. we're looking at the taillights and they do move relatively smoothly. we're hearing about a disabled vehicle inside the tunnel and someone standing by their vehicle with the hood up.

i'm concerned for safety and so is the bridge crew. we see slowing up to the scene and then clearing to the san francisco side. the metering lights don't seem to be slower so we'll watch the stackup on the oakland side. the north bay, looking pretty standard. we have a smooth flow of traffic in the south bay. a fire reported, probably a roadside fire on 280. back to you. new overnight, a b.a.r.t. train collides with a truck on the tracks. now, this happened last night at 11:30 between fruitvale and lake merritt stations in oakland. investigators are telling us that pickup truck was driving down east 8th street and crashed into the b.a.r.t. tracks. then an oncoming b.a.r.t. train smashed into that truck. paramedics took the train operator to the hospital. a passenger on that train also was hurt. other passengers there on the train, they say they are just grateful that it wasn't worse. >> i'm happy to be okay, not hurt worse, and nobody died that i know of.

i just hope i don't wake up tomorrow in more pain than i'm in now. >> police did take the truck driver into custody. b.a.r.t. workers have cleared the tracks and normal operations have resumed. this morning angry protesters are not giving up in san francisco. we are demanding criminal charges be filed against the walgreens security guard who shot banko brown. this comes after surveillance video shows the moments leading up to his death. "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is live with more on these continued calls for justice. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: good morning, laura. well, there were calls to release that surveillance video, but d.a. brooke jenkins had said she would not release it because of the ongoing investigation. now that surveillance video has been released and the reactions to it are growing louder and louder. [ crowd chanting ] >> reporter: protesters gathered last night in san francisco outside the walgreens on market

and 4th street. they marched to city hall, demanding criminal charges against the security card, michael earl wayne anthony, who shot banko brown. this coming hours after d.a. brooke jenkins released surveillance video of the shooting and the moments leading up to it. it shows a fight between brown and anthony. now, brown is hit and lifted off the ground and momentarily put in a chokehold. things calm down for a short while. brown starts to leave, but then turns around and motions slightly toward the guard. the guard says he felt threatened and then he shot brown. protesters and members of san francisco's board of supervisors say more needs to be done. d.a. jenkins says she's taking all sides into account. >> with the video that has no sound, no audio to it, it's difficult to have context to what is going on, and that is why we must listen to the

security guard's statement, the witness statements. >> to allow a black person to be executed in the street, that tells me that black lives don't matter to you. and, yes, a black person most certainly can feel that way, unfortunately. >> reporter: supervisor walter and board president aaron peskin say they will ask attorney general rob bonta and the u.s. department of justice to review jenkins' decision not to press charges. meanwhile, an nbc bay area legal expert predicts the brown family may also have their day in court in a civil suit against walgreens. we'll continue to watch as it all unfolds. back to you. >> so much to cover there. thank you so much, ginger. police questioned that security -- the walgreens security guard two separate times, each lasting about three hours. along with saying that he actually feared for his life, he claimed his employer, which contracts with walgreens, repeatedly changed its

shoplifting policies. >> at one point it was hands on, i think it's still hands on now, you know, to be honest. they kept on changing it back and forth, now it's like particular, it's like, okay, if you suspect or if you seen it, then you can go that route. but if you haven't seen anything, you can't follow nobody, and i never did that. >> among the other new details from his interviews, he told police the second guard on duty that day was on break at the time of the confrontation. now to a developing story out of washington, d.c., a live look at the white house this morning. time is running out for congress to hammer out a deal on raising the nation's debt limit by june 1st. experts say an unprecedented debt default could trigger a financial disaster. "today in the bay"'s drew petrimoulx is live in washington. there's still so much up in the air right now.

>> reporter: yeah, good morning. over the last few days we've heard some optimism from the president and members of congress but it's still not clear what a potential deal would look like and they are running out of time. >> what's your message for the speaker? >> reporter: with the fate of the fragile u.s. economy in their hands, the president and top congressional leaders meet at the white house today. the treasury secretary says if congress does not lift the debt ceiling, the federal government could run out of funding as soon as june 1st. over the weekend, president biden sounding optimistic. >> i really think there's a desire on their part as well as ours to reach an agreement. >> reporter: publicly, the two sides appear far apart. republicans are demanding spending cuts in return for their votes to raise the debt ceiling. democrats accuse the gop of holding the economy hostage and house speaker kevin mccarthy says a deal is not in sight. mccarthy says they need a deal by this weekend in order to get

legislation through congress without risking default. >> we just had our secretary say june 1st we could run out of money. we only have so many days left. >> it would be a catastrophe. no one should play with it, no one should flirt with it, no one should hold it hostage. >> reporter: the stakes are clear. what's not is whether lawmakers can reach a deal before time runs out. on monday, treasury secretary janet yellen sent a letter to top leaders in congress warning that just waiting until the last minute to increase the debt ceiling could do serious harm to consumer and business confidence and also raising interest rates for borrowers and threatening the credit rating of the u.s. reporting from washington, drew petrimoulx. >> what happens in those meetings affects us all. drew petrimoulx this morning, thank you. new this morning, san francisco's next generation of trash cans is suddenly being placed on the back burner. the "chronicle" reports the design committee is raising concerns the cans may be prime

targets for taggers. leaders selected the slim silhouette model. each is expected to cost up to $3,000. but not one committee member voted to approve the design yesterday, essentially delaying final approval. public works leaders are still planning to proposal it again to the same committee. we'll take a live look at walnut creek this morning. the sun is coming up. it's a beautiful morning. and meteorologist kari hall, hopefully you have a look at a beautiful forecast. >> it's going to be a little warmer in walnut creek. we're not seeing much in the way of any of the cooling clouds that is protecting other parts of the bay area from the hot temperatures today. so take a look at the trend. we're at 54 degrees, we'll be at 59 at 8:00 and 64 at 10:00. already reaching into the low 80s by early in the afternoon. as we head for the upper 80s today. but compare that to san francisco where it's cloudy,

foggy, and will only reach up to 66 today, and we're feeling some of those breezes for the inner bay. the inland valleys will be much hotter. we'll talk more about what's ahead in a few minutes. mike has a look at lower gas prices. >> the platinum on washington street in santa clara, it's up 4 cents. we don't like to see that direction of movement. it's at $3.95. solano county, vallejo, $4.11. the shell on tennessee street. and contra costa county, $4.25 for spots in concord, we'll recognize arco on pleasant hill road for the last price reported by all of you through gasbuddy. we are looking at a slowdown on the bay bridge. a disabled vehicle reported near treasure island. in the south bay, we checked on this fire. it's a roadside fire, just around saratoga. the smoke may not be visible. we don't see slowing. notice the haze from the 280/17 camera. if there's any smoke, it probably just blends in.

back to you. 6:11 right now. coming up next on "today in the bay," the official end of the line for a covid vaccine that never really took hold in america. the roundabout way cdc leaders signaled its demise. >> a busy day in washington with bank hearings and hearings on ai. i'll tell you everything you need to know. as far as the futures go, it looks like it will be a slow to slightly rough start to our trading day. >> plus -- ♪♪ ♪ that's just the way it is ♪ ♪ things will never be the same ♪ >> a hip hop icon could see an honor down the road. keep it right here. much m

good tuesday morning. right now at 6:14, let's get a look at this beautiful shot over san francisco. i know, if you're in the city it doesn't look anything like this. that's because you're covered with a layer of low clouds. this is looking above it from the sutro tower camera. a big range in temperatures with some spots hitting the low 90s. we'll talk about our microclimates coming up in a few

minutes. >> we're looking down on the road at the bay bridge, low clouds here. in fremont, the lower clouds here and the drive just starting to develop. we'll show you the bay bridge coming up. good morning. very happy tuesday to you. the markets still do not seem too concerned about a potential default. you heard drew talking about the debt ceiling before the break. i don't hear any reason to feel optimistic. roku, meanwhile, giving up more real estate in san jose. this according to the san francisco business times. >> wells fargo has agree to pay $1 billion to investors who sued the bank over its fake account scandal. they say wells fargo hid the truth from them about how long it would take to clean up the mess. the settlement first reported by the "wall street journal." >> the former head of silicon valley bank will join an executive from signature bank to testify before a senate

committee about bank failures. expect greg becker to face a lot of tough questions about how much he was paid and the timing of some of his stock sales. in written testimony submitted ahead of time, becker will testify, quote, the takeover of svb by the government has been personally and professionally devastating, and i am truly sorry for how this has impacted svb's employees, clients and shareholders. >> it's going to be a busy day on capitol hill. also testifying before a senate subcommittee, open ai head sam altman. he is not in trouble. he's more there to educate senators about artificial intelligence. coming up on the "today" show, aaron ross sorkin will sit down with microsoft's satya nadella to talk about what kids and parents need to know about ai. you can watch that coming up at 7:00. really, it's good for everyone. teenagers, parents, lawmakers,

to ask questions about ai. senators can somewhat be behind on the times as far as tech trends go. you may recall orrin hatch confused by facebook at a hearing in 2018. >> how do you sustain a business model in which users don't pay for your service? >> senator, we run ads. >> i see. >> senators, i think, are doing their best. they tend to be a little older. the house tends to be a little hipper. that's where you're going to find the people with tiktok accounts that seem to understand it a little better. as i said, it's important to ask questions because most people don't understand the direction of ai, senators are no exception. they're going to find out more today. >> it will be interesting to watch. >> ask a question that leads to another question to get a better answer. >> yeah, answers for those who don't know the answers. johnson & johnson's long stalled covid vaccine now officially no longer available.

americans have been unable to receive the j&j vaccine for more than two years. the cdc says last week all remaining stored vials expired. fewer than 10% of americans ever received a johnson & johnson vaccine, which scientists eventually tied to a rare blood clot disorder. oakland leaders will vote to rename one stretch of a busy street to honor a hip hop icon who launched his career in the town. ♪♪ ♪ the bay area and back down ♪ >> bay area and oakland getting a shot there. amazing song there. tupac shakur lived in several cities but his career took off during his time in oakland. the collaboration you heard with dr. dre on california love, one of those popular songs out there. today council members are going to consider renaming a stretch of macarthur boulevard that will happen near grand avenue and name it tupac shakur way if it

passes. tupac was shot and killed while in vegas at the age of 25. trending this morning, it is national barbecue day, and yelp is out with the best places to get barbecue in the only three california restaurants made the list. they're all in southern california. we want to know, what's the best barbecue spot here in the bay area? i asked you to weigh in on twitter. let us know what you think. some people have said bounty hunter in napa, jackie's place on north 1st, and texas roadhouse. >> interesting. >> i like sauced in livermore, but bounty hunter used to always make the top ten list. >> exactly, got to represent. >> i did notice that southern california won. i think the top one was a korean

barbecue. they're expanding the definition. >> which is nice. >> diversity even in the barbecue. >> i'm from memphis, the home of barbecue. we're going to take a trip. >> but you remember the "today" show used to go for the barbecue fest in may. al used to go every year. >> he's a connoisseur. we'll take you around the bay area. it's going to be warm. i think a little too warm for grilling outside, especially in the inland valleys. let's talk about how much rain we've measured. here is the update since october 1st until now. we're still at a pretty big sur plus, with oakland measuring the most in terms of what they tip typically see what with we got throughout much of the winter. we're at 183% of normal.

with no rain in the forecast, why are we talking about the water year? even though we are all dry, because of the sierra snowmelt, we're seeing our reservoirs filling up quickly. so when we compare the sierra snowpack last year at this time, it was only at 22% of normal, and now as of today, it's still at 337% of normal. those reservoirs are filling up quickly. a lot of them over capacity for some of the larger ones in northern california. now, trinity lake just a couple of weeks ago was at 36% of capacity, and we're already at 52% of capacity. that one totally relies on that sierra snowmelt, mostly happening between now and june. that's going to go up quickly as well. let's get to the temperatures because they're going to be quite a bit of a difference as you drive around the bay area. we're up to 82 in san jose, but 87 in morgan hill. as you make your way through the inland east bay with antioch hitting 91, you compare that to

the 73 in oakland in afternoon. so it really just depends on where you are. we're still in the 60s and 70s for much of the peninsula, and san francisco 60s today. the north bay ranging from low 60s in bodega bay to about 87 in ukiah, and napa still getting breezes. we'll be in the upper 70s. nice weather for the game, for the oakland a's. at the same time we'll have the giants across the bay. slightly warmer with temperatures at about 71 trees at first pitch, dropping down to the 50s. we'll be in the mid-60s for the start of the giants game. make sure you're ready for those gusty winds. our temperatures will be very warm today in gilroy, with upper 80s. it's going to come back to more seasonable weather for the end of the week with mostly 70s over the next week or so. today temperatures spike, but then come back down for some milder weather for the next seven days. mike, you're tracking an issue on the bay bridge. we've got good news, in the

last few minutes. we had an issue on the bridge, it's cleared from the chp report and i did see good recovery for the hov lanes, which usually indicates the flow for most of the rest of the traffic is starting to get back to normal. we are looking at flashing lights at the toll plaza parking lot. we do have some recovery for the speed sensors on the incline, quick recovery on the san francisco side. not a major issue as far as the build coming down the eastshore freeway. you do see the feeder route off 880 starting to build. >> thank you. well, a heart-stopping shark attack caught on camera. coming up on "today in the bay," the incredible store of survival one fisherman now is shari one fisherman now is shari with theng w

inner voice (furniture store owner):i know everytythig abouout my new furniture business... ...well, everything except the whole business part. not anymore. with quickbooks, you can confidently manage your business. new business? no problem. success starts with intuit q quickbooks.

this was a frightening scene caught on video in hawaii. >> a fisherman is talking about an all-too-close encounter with a shark. this happened friday about a mile off the coast and you can see that shark come up right there, boom, taking a bite out of that man's kayak. fortunately, there's only the teeth marks in that man's kayak. pretty scary video. it also shows him trying to kick that shark away, which actually worked. he tells "today" that it wasn't until he watched the video that he realized how bad the situation could have been. >> i realized it was a shark, but i didn't realize how close its face and teeth had come to

me. i think i luckily hit it in the eye or near the eye, so it swam off and didn't want any more kicks in the face. >> so he believes the shark may have confused his kayak with an injured seal, one he says he actually saw swimming in the area nearby. luckily, he's okay. >> that thing was big. 6:27 right now. coming up next, the top stories we're following, including elizabeth holmes prison reporting date. the new motion that may lead to more delays, keeping the convicted theranos founder out on bail. >> reporter: oakland teachers and students return to the classroom for instruction today after a one-week strike. we're going to show you what's in the deal and how students are feeling about th ei

right now at 6:30, a deadly overnight crash in the east bay, and within the last hour a sobering update from pololice. alall new detailsls on ththe ininvestigatioion. >> a a string o of fires break in the south bay. what we're learning from the crews at the scene. >> i just hope for the best and pray for the best that we make sure we get through this week altogether and that we all graduate on time. >> it's finally back to class. oakland families breathing a sigh of relief as teachers return to their jobs following a lengthy strike. ahead in a live report, a closer

look at the real time crunch so many will now be facing. this is "today in the bay." a very good tuesday morning to you. thanks for starting your day with us. 6:31 right now. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. time to get a look at the forecast. meteorologist kari hall says it's going to be warm. >> it's going to be warm in spots. other areas we're seeing clouds and that's going to help keep temperatures down. as we head to martinez, this is going to be one of the spots warming up quickly, going from 54 degrees and sunny now to temperatures in the low 70s at noon, and then reaching into the upper 80s in the next hour. you can see how the temperatures go up and head for the mid-80s today. compare that to 73 in oakland, 69 in san mateo, and 66 degrees in san francisco. really just once again depends on where you are. we'll talk about more of our microclimates coming up. mike, you were sorting things out at the bay bridge

toll plaza. >> there was another person over here, i think there's an autograph session going on. we're looking at a smooth drive on the approach to the bay bridge. you see the hov lanes moving much better. there was a disabled vehicle in one of the left lanes as well. that looks like that sorted out as well. the drive is actually much better on the bay bridge, a little more slowing through richmond and across toward san rafael for 580. that span seeing more volume. everything else holding relatively steady. slowing south 680 past gold hill but no changes reported for chp. san jose shows a build, morgan hill looks a little better. no more slowing south of san martin. >> thanks, mike. new overnight, police are investigating a deadly crash in antioch. investigators confirming within the past hour three people were killed in two vehicles. now, new video shows the damage done to one of those cars. we do know that all three

victims were in the smashed car. it happened around 11:00 last night along long tree way near country hills drive. a witness working inside a nearby gas station says that a car clipped another vehicle, leading to that crash. police have not confirmed that. san jose firefighters investigating a string of overnight fires, including at least one in the coyote creek riverbed. it started in the same area where teams yesterday started clearing a homeless encampment. it's not clear how that fire started or exactly what burned. it follows a fire late last night on capitol expressway between cunningham avenue and tully road. our photographer at the scene says crews had to cut through a fence to get to the flames. the cause of the fire is also under investigation. in just about two hours oakland teachers will be back in the class, this comes after many spent a week on the picket lines fighting for a new contract. >> kris sanchez joins us with a

look at the day ahead. >> reporter: well, it is a day of likely some excitement and also some high anxiety. students are just about two weeks away from the end of the school year and the strike really came at an inopportune time for them. the strike finally came to an end after about a week on the picket line. it's a $70 million deal that will increase salaries by an average of 15% for teachers. it also gives reachers a one-time $5,000 stipend. oakland unified will also bring on more counselors, librarians, nurses, and even performing arts teachers. the teachers, the union, they also fought for what they call a common good agreement to provide resources for unhoused students, revisit school closures and a possible path toward black student reparations. >> i think the tide turned when the district knew that we

weren't backing down. through the weekend we were continuing to push forward. there were some reel intense moments, but we didn't blink. >> this is finals, the most important week and you took away a key week for us to prepare for our final. >> reporter: so obviously the timing was not super opportune, but finally now a deal. although it is tentative. the teachers will return to class. later this week the union has to ratify the contract and then also the county has to agree to it, and then oakland unified will take a final vote. in oakland, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you, kris. 6:35 right now. and whether you've seen, heard or heard of them, illegal sideshows have become a growing problem across the bay area. now today, oakland leaders will discuss a plan to crack down on those illegal activities. you might recall earlier this month one car caught fire and another driver there seen crashing into that burning car.

last week the city's public safety committee passed a resolution that would impose fines on illegal stunts. the city council is expected to discuss the matter during the meeting later this afternoon. >> the south bay mother accused of hosting alcohol-fueled parties for minors is expected back in court today. attorneys for shannon o'connor have been trying to negotiate a plea deal. she's been held without bail for more than a year and pleaded not guilty to 39 charges, including child endangerment, providing alcohol to minors and sexual battery. attorneys for elizabeth holmes have filed a motion that may further delay her reporting to prison. holmes last month received a last-minute hold in starting her sentence. an appeals court agreed to let her remain out on bail while her attorneys appealed the verdict. the state now has 21 days to reply. holmes' lawyers will also then have 21 days to respond.

by that math, she may not enter prison before late june. the oakland a's appear to have another foot out the door when it comes to a brand new land deal in las vegas, but there's still many hurdles that need to be cleared. the announcement yesterday calls for a retractible roof stadium at the site where the tropicana hotel currently sits and it undos the earlier deal. just like the deal that fell apart at howard terminal, many obstacles still stand in the way with little time to clear it all before the current legislative session. nevada's state senator says the concerns include parking and transportation. >> as we speak, i believe sort of a transportation and mobility impact study, to make sure this facility or this particular location is a good location. >> with the a's coliseum lease set to run out next year, it is still possible that the a's move to vegas could be earlier.

they could potentially play at their team's minor league stadium until the new stadium is finished, perhaps as soon as 2027. taking a live look outside at a very foggy san francisco. across the bay, over to the east bay, if you're headed to the a's game today, i would hope that it would be sunny there, kari. >> yeah, it will be a beautiful day. we're enjoying those games. temperatures in the low 70s at first pitch. it's going to be breezy, but also once again clearing up at we go into the afternoon. a cool evening as we see the temperatures heading down to the upper 50s. we'll also have a giants game right across the bay at the same exact time, so it's going to be busy around that area. and our temperatures ranging from mid-60s in san francisco to low 70s for the inner bay, so low 80s in the tri-valley, and up to 91 this afternoon in

fairfield. as you're making your way around the bay area, you'll want to be packed and prepared for just about anything. tomorrow it's still going to be warmer in the valleys, reaching upper 80s in morgan hill, while san francisco will be 64. mike, there's a note about the tri-valley. >> they're talking about fog, 84 and 680, the sunol area. you can see the low clouds extending through the area. for a period of time we lost sight of the freeway from the camera but there was okay visibility on 580 itself. the build here for 680 heading toward 84, that's right where the chp says there may be pockets of fog. 880 shows a typical build toward union city. this is pretty predictable patterns. kari did talk about the a's playing tonight. a note, in addition to the a's game at 6:40, a little after that we have this concert starting, suga, from bts. it's a concert going on at the

arena and that will be tonight and tomorrow. there will be two nights of crowds. across the bay, the bay bridge will be critical because some folks get to the a's game, others want to get to oracle at about the same time. it's about to get a little more expensive to park in san francisco. the new changes coming to metered street parking ahead of the busy summer season. in washington, another critical meeting over the debt ceiling. can they get anything solved? >> and a bachelor's degree, check. master's degree while playing in the nfl. check-check. we're going to show you which big-time quarterback got to walk the stage. the stage. stay with us.

the time is 6:43 on this tuesday morning, as you're heading out in the east bay. we're checking out pleasant hill. it's going to be in the mid-50s at 7:00 and then quickly heating up. at noon it's in the upper 70s, low 80s early in the afternoon, eventually reaching into the upper 80s today. it's really all dependent on your microclimate as to what weather you'll see. we'll take a look at those in a few minutes. the brake lights, you can see them flashing on and off west 92, the san mateo bridge slowing down. we'll show you how traffic is

feeding off of the east bay and how things are shaping up on the peninsula as well. ukraine's capital under heavy fire from russian air strikes. new video overnight showing a series of missile attacks. ukraine's military reports that it's an air defense system that managed to successfully shoot down all 18 missiles and this is believed to be the eighth attack on kyiv since the start of the month. ukrainian defenses shot down drones linked to russia. no deaths are reported and at least three people are injured. republicans and democrats will meet once again at the white house today, and once again they're hoping to solve the crisis over the debt ceiling. >> scott mcgrew joins us. in many ways it's a manufactured crisis. >> it really is. good morning to you. most times this is just not a crisis at all. we've had to raise the debt ceiling many times in the past, often without argument. people barely notice. but today we'll see a white house meeting with the top leaders from both houses.
