going on on the southbound side. any time you can see flashing lights coming toward you, folks will tend to tap the brakes. there's gravel reported spread across all lanes on 680, so that will be slow from the dublin interchange to sunol. the northbound side will be distracted heading out of the south bay. no problem for contra costa county. the area shows you the bay bridge. antioch and vallejo, no early slowing. very pleasant right now on the roads. and as far as your temperatures go, we are in the 50s. a couple of 40s through parts of novato. also, notice some areas of fog and some cloud cover through parts of the north bay, stretching through the east bay as well, and of course around the coastline. we can expect to keep the dry weather rolling through as high pressure continues to dominate in our forecast. what this means for us in the

next couple of hours, dry weather. however, we do have a cooling effect that's going to go on. through the afternoon, you'll notice the winds picking up at times, slightly breezy. 9:00 a.m. for san francisco, we'll be in the 50s and daytime highs will climb into the 70s. we'll give you a look at your weekend in a few minutes. we begin with breaking news and new fears of escalation in the middle east conflict after israel carries out a military retaliation against iran. >> it follows iran's unprecedented strike on israeli targets last weekend, also called a retaliatory move. "today in the bay"'s brie jackson is live in washington. what's the white house saying about this? >> reporter: good morning, marcus, laura. so israel's strike ups the ante on middle east tensions and it comes despite president biden's calls for restraint. this is new video of the israeli strike targeting a military air base near central iran.

local state media says nearby nuclear sites were not impacted. the u.s., we're told, was not involved, and flights in iran are resuming this morning with no restrictions, after reportedly being suspended earlier in several iranian cities. israel vowed to respond to iran's strike saturday. that's when iran launched more than 300 drones and missiles at israeli targets. most all of which were intercepted and caused little damage. u.s. secretary of state blinken spoke in the last 90 minutes at the g7 meeting of foreign ministers in italy, and he says the g7 condemns the weekend attack. >> we're committed to israel's security. we're also committed to de-escalating, to trying to bring this tension to a close. >> reporter: and blinken this morning is not out-and-out confirming israel warned the u.s. ahead of time about this strike, but he is reiterating

the u.s. was not involved. yesterday the white house announced new sanctions targeting iran's missile and drone program in response to last weekend's attack. >> brie, before you go, has the u.s. issued an advisory to those americans there in the region in light of this latest attack? >> reporter: so they have. what we do know is that the u.s. embassy in jerusalem has pulled all government employees and family members and told them not to travel outside of tel aviv. we're told this is being done out of an abundance of caution. >> brie, thank you. former president donald trump's hush money trial resumes for a fourth day today. a 12-person jury, plus an alternate, were selected yesterday. the trial expects to pick five more alternates today. trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment made to adult film

actress stormy daniels at the end of 2016's election cycle. prosecutors say the payment was made to keep daniels quiet about her alleged sexual encounter with trump, however he has denied the affair. opening statements in the criminal trial could start as early as monday. one san francisco leader expressing new hope not only for the future of union square, but the future of its macy's flagship store slated to close. supervisor aaron peskin says high-level discussions are taking place with macy's top executives to hopefully keep that store open beyond this year. he also says that this is also part of a bigger plan to revitalize the entire union square area. peskin says it could include converting empty office space into housing, a cable car museum, and even a performance area center as soon as the summer. >> part of, i think, our mission is to make union square more of a neighborhood, and when you have more of a 24-hour place --

union square hasn't been a 24-hour place. >> if the closure does go as planned, some experts believe retail and restaurants may still attract visitors and locals, but they say the city should consider reimagining the macy's building. good news not just for san francisco, but the entire bay area. >> guess what, san franciscans, i have some really exciting news. we have some cute, cuddly black and white beauties coming to our city. ladies and gentlemen, welcome pandas to san francisco! >> that's right. san francisco mayor london breed making the big announcement, the san francisco zoo is getting giant pandas. it comes during her visit to china in hopes of bringing business and tourism to san francisco. she first discussed the idea with chinese president xi and

they announced they would have panda diplomacy with the united states. the time for the arrival has not yet been set. the mayor's office says they will arrive once the panda enclosure at the san francisco zoo is complete. nice to see. excited for that. a new mural called diaspora is opening in the south bay. we got a sneak peek at the indian community center. the artist is the founder of the organization that seeks to connect women and non-binary changemakers. organizers say the mural aims to welcome those who visit the indian community center. an official unveiling will start at 11:00 this morning. turning to our climate in kiesz, a decade ago california banned single-use plastic bags. >> there's a flaw in the law. meteorologist vianey arana joins us on how the loophole is making more waste. >> i think when people were

looking for plastic bags, they were hoping to produce the amount of plastic. what ended up happening is we made more durable plastic. we weren't looking for durable plastic, we were looking for less. the plan to reduce waste and get use of single-use plastic bags has a loophole getting in the way of a green future. there was a section that allowed grocery stores and retailers to charge a dime for a plastic bag. stores then created thicker and heavier plastic bags intended for customers to reuse. many don't think of the bags as reusable so it's creating more waste. i spoke with the director for a company that advocates for environmental solutions. here is what they found. >> it has circumvented the intent by mass producing thicker plastic bags they claim are exempt from the law because they can technically meet the law's requirements for a reusable bag. because of that, there are

plastic bags that really don't look like reusable bags. they look like they're designed to be single use and people are just throwing them away. >> they also have a disclaimer that says, hey, we use me so many times. even if you do reuse them for trash, at the end of the day, that's more plastic that is ending up in the landfill. scientists have found plastics everywhere, from the ocean to the highest mountain peaks, and even in things we eat and drink. according to the united nations, if we don't make a change, there will be more plastic than fish by weight in the year 2050. tune into nbc bay area saturday night and you can see the new bill trying to close the loophole. our team of meteorologists will highlight stories we have covered throughout the year so far, including not only the problems, but most importantly, the solutions when it comes to our climate in crisis. that airs this saturday at 6:30 p.m. we will also have complete either week coverage beginning next week. we don't like to hear the

news, yet we do. i can advise you there will be slowing southbound 680. in fact, if you say on foothill road, you'll be okay, clear from the gravel that's across 680 southbound. all lanes after an earlier crash. chp says maybe 6:00 before that can happen. that will be a problem for this section of the tri-valley, because that is a focus point. the northbound side from time to time does show slowing coming out of sunol because of the distraction coming toward those folks. a new crash 85 just north of 280, not a major issue. i'm tracking that for the south bay, peninsula. aside from that section, looking just fine. vasco road, you're at speed. back to you. >> thank you so much. a new sign that the streaming wars may soon be coming to an end. ahead this morning on "today in the bay," the news from netflix shaking up all street. what else is coming to an end? maybe tiktok. the bill to do so could come as

soon as this weekend. we'll tell you all about it. plus, an exciting thriller headed to theatres. we're talking to the lead in "abigail" about what moviegoers ca expect.n

cooler as we inch closer to the weekend. let me help you plan out your saturday and, of course, your sunday, and a look ahead in a few minutes. right now we're looking at the bay bridge. plan for slowing if you're heading away from the bay bridge, southbound 880, you just read about a crash on the chp's report. i see slowing on the sensors. plan a couple extra minutes as you're driving through oakland. good morning. very happy friday to you. stocks are on track for their worst week in quite some time. we've been talking all week about why. netflix in los gatos gave a quarterly briefing to investors and analysts and said that the password crackdown was really paying off. netflix picked up more new customers in the last three months than it ever has, 9 million new paying customers. it also says it's not going to report that number from here on now. it's done being a company judged on subscribers. it wants to be judged on the

money it makes. virgin galactic, it's richard branson's space company, talking about a reverse stock split to get this number up. a very stock split inflates the share price by cutting the number of shares in half. video of the morning they went public. the new york stock exchange is threatening to delist virgin because its shares fell under a dollar. same thing happening to 23 and me, it's share price is so low. the nasdaq is threatening to kick it off the exchange. it's cheap enough, somebody could take it private. the weird thing is, its overall value as a company, market cap, is less than the money it has in the bank. you could buy the whole company for this much and cash out this much. mortgage rates now above 7%. this is going to be the new normal as inflation remains high and the economy remains strong.

high mortgage rates have people stuck. they don't want to sell a house with a 2% or 3% mortgage for a new one at 7% plus. apple says china is forcing it to take communications app like whatsapp off its app store, threads, telegram, all those that let people communicate, especially those that let people communicate without the government knowing what they're doing. apple has no choice but to follow chinese law. china worried about its citizens using the app, then again, the use worried about citizens using tiktok, worrying china is too close to bytedance. speaker johnson has said he would ban the bill and package it with aid. members who want to support israel or ukraine have to back a ban on tiktok as part of the deal. now, this fast-tracked house

bill will give bytedance a longer period of time, 12 months to find a buyer. it could come as soon as this weekend. president biden has indicated he will sign a tiktok ban. he also desperately wants to sign a ukraine aid bill, and if they're together, this is just going to go right through. >> interesting. >> it is strange. >> thanks, scott. the last movie filmed by the late bay area actor angus cloud is being released today. >> i pinky promise you, it will all be over soon. >> i think she knows something. >> guys, guys, guys! >> oh, no. >> that's a little scary for morning. i'm sorry. >> you know, hey, just letting the people know. the horror and thriller was filmed before cloud died at his family's home in oakland nearly

a year ago. the movie "abigail" stars the 14-year-old alicia weir who is giving her kidnappers a run for their money when she turns into a vampire. i actually got a chance to speak with the young actor about her stunts and the evolution of her character. >> at the start of the film you see her innocent sweet side, and, i mean, you have no idea what's coming. this movie has so many twists and turns and you're on the edge of your seat and it's definitely a ride. >> what about the acrobatics? did you have to go through training? did you do your stunts? >> definitely strange and crazy at times. definitely, when i went home and i was telling my family i was flying on set, i don't think they could believe me half of the time. >> she needs to be on mary poppins. >> she was in another film -- i forgot it. she was in "matilda" and is a great actress. it opens in theatres today.

the movie is distributed by universal pictures, part of nbcuniversal which owns this tv station. she was cute. i loved talking to her. >> she was so cute and proper, and then, ah! >> does a good job of being a vampire. swifties, if you're one, you already know, are waking up to a spring in your step this morning. it just so happens to be twice as nice. >> not only did taylor swift release her anticipated new studio album, but in a huge sur prize twist, it's a double album. ♪♪ that's the title track from the new "the tortured poets

department" and fans should plan to spend some time hearing the whole thing. in all, there are 31 songs. diehard swifties are trying to break down the meaning behind the lyrics. fans are saying they may allude to breakups with not one but two recent exes. actor joe alwyn and the 1975 lead singer matt healey. during the recent grammy awards, she called it two years in the making. the first one dropped at midnight, and then at 2:00 a.m., when probably a lot of swifties were asleep, she came out with a second one. >> i'm sure they knew something was coming because they know she works hard. >> and they have this pop-up in l.a. that gives you a chance to look for the clues. >> sounds like she created an album to get you in your feels. go out and enjoy the sunshine today. we'll help heal some of the broken hearts with a little bit

of sun. let's get some live shots of san francisco. look at this. it's nice out there. we do have some areas of cloud cover. temperature-wise, we're going to see slight cooling. i want to show you some areas where that fog is present right now. parts of the north bay, stretching through the peninsula, and through parts of the tri-valley and through parts of the south bay in some spots. overall the weather pattern has been calm and that high pressure continues not only over northern california, but stretching through central and southern. typically we like to monitor the pacific when we're talking about tracking the forecast. but the influence of a system to our north is going to bring a slight cooldown today, but no rain. first let's plan your afternoon for oakland. we'll be by 10:00 a.m. in the upper 50s, low 60s. by 2:00, we've got a lot of sunshine. we're going to be seeing mostly

sunny 70s versus 80s like yesterday. by the time we get into your saturday forecast, we're still going to be in those upper 70s. it does look like we have the influence of warmer air once again settling in as we inch closer toward your sunday forecast. that's going to warm us back up and that's going to warm us into the 80s. for now, at least it's nice and dry. mike, you're tracking a new issue. >> look at that, green sensors toward the bay bridge. getting away from the bay bridge, a crash is reported south 880 around broadway or 7th, coming around the bend there may be slowing. the initial report says blocking all lanes. i gave it a few minutes to develop and i see no slowing. watch 880 getting away from the bay bridge. south 680, the cash still perhaps in the lanes in bernal, gravel

by 12:00, we're going to be in the upper 60s for san jose. eventually maxing out only in the 70s. the past few days we've been seeing 80s. that was considered above average. oakland daytime highs by 2:00 will be in the low 60s, eventually maxing out at about 65. meanwhile, in san francisco, san francisco has also been enjoying 70s. today we're going to max out in the 70s at some point, but not for san francisco. we're going to be in the upper 60s. notice the cloud cover, some areas of fog through 8:00 a.m. eventually by 12:00, we're going to see much better clearing. this is going to pave the way for sunshine. santa rosa can expect to be in the upper 60s by 2:00 and we're going to max out in the 60s. one thing is for sure. the dry weather will remain into saturday and sunday and i'll have a closer look at your extended outlook. first, mike has an update on an alert in the tri-valley.

>> it went from greenish-orange to red. they've stopped all traffic southbound 680 coming into pleasanton. at bernal there was a crash and a gravel spill. the stoppage is good news. that means the sweeper has arrived to clear the gravel. hopefully they'll make quick work of it. maybe 15 minutes. foothill road is along 680 parallel to that, smaller roadway. allow slowing time through that area. south 680 currently has the sweeper truck at bernal and it will stop you before you get to sunol. you can use 83 out of the altamont. the rest of the bay shows a smooth drive. a new incident pops up on the bay bridge. we'll check that coming up. we continue to follow breaking news. israel overnight launching at least one air strike against iran. >> scott mcgrew has been monitoring the very latest. the strike is in response to an iranian strike on israel. >> right, which is in response

to an israeli attack on an iranian consulate. you can see why the u.s. and other countries are very worried about this getting out of control quickly. reporters were just speaking to secretary of state blinken, who no doubt had a long night. here is the latest from america's top diplomat. >> we're also committed to de-escalating, to trying to bring this tension to a close. >> the strike itself was very small. this is video of something somebody saw in the area of the strike, apparently on an iranian air base near a city called isfahan. we know of no damage and you're not going to see much out of iranian media, either, because they're playing it down. another sign, maybe, both countries have found an off-ramp. here is nbc military analyst and medal of honor winner, jack jacobs. >> i think we have to assume

that's it from israel for the time being, and perhaps they're just trying to see whether or not iran is going to respond. >> now, isfahan on our map is here, a city of about 2 million people. it's home to a lot of iranian weapons manufacturing, as well as a lot of historic sites. there is a nuclear plant in the area, but the iaea says that plant is fine. all this comes after a massive iranian air strike on israel using missiles and drones. nearly all of which were shot down by israel. one person was hurt. again, this strike in response to an israeli air strike. the u.s. urged israel not to respond, but, again, a very limited attack, marcus, or at least so far. >> all right, scott. thank you. now, we will continue to monitor the latest coming out of the middle east on air as well as online. you can always get up to the minute breaking news alerts on your phone. download our free nbc bay area app.

you can find it in your local app store. new developments in a controversial death in police custody from 2021. it comes in the form of new criminal charges filed against three alameda police officers. >> and tonight a vigil is planned for the man who died, mario gonzalez. "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez is live this morning with a closer look at how all of these charges came about. >> reporter: so these are not charges that were brought by the district attorney, pamela price. rather they were brought by the public accountability unit that was created by pamela price, but which works independently. these three officers who now face involuntary manslaughter charges are eric mckinley, james fisher and cameron leahy. in the 2021 death of 26-year-old mario gonzalez, who was pinned down by those three police officers for several minutes before he died. the altercation was recorded on body camera video and captured gonzalez struggling to answer

questions before officers were restraining him. when he was pinned to the ground in a public park, gonzalez can be seen in that video shouting and grunting before losing consciousness. previous district attorney nancy o'malley found insufficient evidence for those charges against the officers. the police accountability unit, though, found otherwise. d.a. pamela price says the case is about rebuilding trust with the community. >> if people don't believe that police officers or law enforcement can be held accountable, then witnesses won't cooperate. we can't do our job without witnesses. we won't be able to administer justice if the community doesn't trust that the system is going to work for everyone on an equal basis. >> reporter: we did reach out to attorneys for the three officers, and we did get a statement from allison berry wilkinson, who will be representing officer leahy.

it reads, the district attorney waited until the 11th hour before the statute of limitations was set to expire to bring these charges just days after it was confirmed she would face recall. there is no new evidence. this is blatantly political prosecution. district attorney pamela price did not answer many questions. she said now that the charges were filed, this is in process and she cannot address many of the specifics of the case. the campaign to recall her, however, does continue. mario gonzalez's mother is one of the people set to speak at that vigil planned for 5:15 tonight at scout park in the city of alameda. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> i was just looking online, he died three years ago today. kris, thank you. happening today, a status hearing for the man accused in the half moon bay shooting rampage. earlier this year he pleaded not guilty to new grand jury charges. investigators say he gunned down seven of his colleagues on two mushroom farms in january of

will hold a family day tomorrow that includes conservation and education, dozens of conservation groups are expected to take part. one of safari west's co founders says visitors will be able to meet and greet conservation experts. >> they bring with them some of their animals. we have bats, owls, ravens, and the people who come to participate get to see them up close and personal. >> the park includes all types of animals, like zebras, a rhino, cheetahs, antelopes. families are also encouraged to dress their children in their favorite animal costumes. that should be cute. >> i've always wanted to go to safari west. if you're anywhere near san francisco's mission district tomorrow afternoon, you can look for a commemoration cruise honoring a music legend. ♪♪

>> she's known as the queen of tejana music. tomorrow the council plans to hold a cruise in the mission to honor her. it is scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m. lines will be rerouted. mike is tracking the road advisories ahead of the weekend. first, we want to check on the forecast. the weather should be right. >> yeah, anything for selena. >> but no rain. >> you know, tomorrow's weather in san francisco will have some cloud cover. it's going to be very similar to the shot you see here. the thing is that tomorrow we're going to be in the 60s, which is tried and true to san francisco. you've got to just layer up, that way you can add or remove and be comfortable out there.

let's take a look at how this is going to fare into saturday and sunday. we're going to be seeing temperatures in the 60s for tomorrow, we're going to wake up a morning fog. by sunday, temperatures do begin to warm up once again, leading us into the 70s by the time we get into monday. we've been watching for a potential of changes into thursday, but so far the model runs seem to agree the system isn't going to make us go into too much of a panic. now, heading into saturday and sunday for inland daytime highs, we'll be in the upper 70s for saturday. by sunday, those are 80s. it's going to be really comfortable, slightly warmer heading into the start of the week. we'll make it into the 60s by wednesday and thursday with the influence of cooler air. for now, the high pressure will keep us nice and dry to celebrate selena.

i spotted a disabled vehicle, that's what the report was for the span eastbound, getting away from san francisco. it looks like it's all right. getting into the city, that is the issue. a little more build but no metering lights and no backup. in the city, we're talking about not rain, the queen, those folks who aren't bilingual, there's a cruise going on saturday afternoon and evening. there will be reroutes for the sfmta. there will be muni buses. watch the mission for the celebration, the tribute to selena on saturday night. unfortunately, tonight there's a closer, highway 37 westbound. it's for improvement this weekend and next weekend, the westbound direction will be closed from highway 29 to 121. that means folks traveling from vallejo, they have to go up and over, or you can go south toward the richmond-san rafael bridge. that's probably better for

westbound 580. southbound 680 still has the gravel clean up at bernal. a desperate call in washington to boost child care options. coming up next, the funding supporters say is just a few simple steps away that may make all the difference for parents now struggling wh rising now struggling wh rising itco
