>> reporter: it is more than a cosmic phenomenon he is chasing, it is a feeling that sparked inside of him when he witnessed the first total solar eclipse in 2012. >> that is when i first got that sort of cosmic feeling that people talk about. it is just something incredible about the sun being blocked by another object. it is very dramatic and makes you feel very part of the whole thing. very, i don't know if small is the right word, but you get a perspective, like an actual perspective. >> reporter: and experience bigger than himself, bigger than any individual and one that he is moving heaven and earth to witness once more. >> once the totality hits, it is so shocking because the transition from day to night is 30 seconds. you know, it's like this incredible joy , because everything lined up . >> reporter: in his quest to capture the solar eclipse

palestinian and israeli activists hopeful that the suffering and the war might finally end. jose martinez reports. >> reporter: a long awaited announcement for a member of the arab resource organizing center and has been at the forefront of hundreds of protests calling for a cease-fire in gaza. >> we welcome any news that indicates that there will be a de-escalation in the genocide against palestinians . >> reporter: on sunday the israeli military announced that they pulled back the majority of ground forces in the gaza strip following a significant offensive and only one brigade remains in the area. >> we also recognize that this could have happened from day one. this could have happened when there was 3000

palestinian deaths as opposed to 35,000. >> reporter: the missing families group has also been actively involved in protests, calling for the release of israelis by hamas. >> now that they have diffused all areas and diffused hamas, they felt secure to leave the area and let the population slowly come back. which, i mean, i don't want civilians, israelis nor palestinians , to suffer or be away from their homes. they have a lot to build . >> reporter: this is a step in the right direction for both sides. she says it could help facilitate the release of at least 150 israelis that are still hostage through more

targeted operations. >> i want it to be over, but it will not be over for those who lost their loved ones and it will never be the same for those who lost their homes or were kidnapped. >> reporter: while they both acknowledge the significance of the idf's decision, they want to continue efforts to work toward sustainable resolution. >> until we see more pressure by the united states including withdrawal of funding and arms to israel, we think they will try to continue that policy. we need to see the pressure continuing and we will continue coming out in the thousands to protest against our elected officials to make sure that happens. >> my position as an israeli and american civilian is to make sure that innocent people are safe . my only goal is to help bring them back home.

protection to people living in all presidential buildings and says that homeowners could lose control over all of their properties and is spearheading an effort to put this on the ballot. >> we ask them to put this to the vote. let the citizens of concord, which includes everybody, vote on the ordinance. and that is what the referendum is about. >> reporter: the law will be on hold for 30 days as she tries to get enough signatures for the referendum. if she can't, it goes into effect immediately. and that is why they were caravan in through the streets on sunday afternoon trying to raise awareness and support if it should come down to about . >> if the citizens of concord boat as a majority, then so be

it. we will have to live with it. we are in it, that is a democracy. if they voted down, that should tell the council something. >> if it is unsuccessful, they would be back to square one on the tenant protection lot they spent seven years creating. taking a live look at the oakland coliseum where the a's announcement to leave the city certainly hurt sports fans but it is also a blow for the nearby business corridor. it took decades to infest in east oakland in the corridor, but now businesses are starting to see people leave and they are shutting their doors and it is really frustrating those who put in the hard work to get businesses there in the first place. while the a's are leaving over different reasons, the result is the same, less tax dollars, fewer jobs and a lot of people in east oakland are upset .

>> just helping crime escalate even more, without the jobs and making money, how are you going to live? crime seems to be the only thing working in the city of oakland. >> joining a lot of you who say public safety has to improve or more businesses will leave. we will have to wait to see the full impact of the a's leaving and they are scheduled to play their last home game on september 26th. we are joined by tony dokoupil, he is life and i see a lot of people camping behind you in indianapolis. when you look up, are you seeing any clouds? >> reporter: that is a great question, i can say that there are no clouds in the sky of any significance at the moment. the sun is up and it is heading towards its rendezvous with the moon. the weather actually improved overnight and it is

looking good. if you are anywhere near the path of totality, the advice is that you should drive in 95%. that last 5%, it is described as a peck on the cheek versus a night of passion. >> that is a good way to get us revved up on a monday morning. and we hear the entire team is spanned out all over the country . >> reporter: got a really unique show. we've got gail in austin, texas. she is not there for the eclipse, she is there to cover the cmt music awards. she was a presenter last night. jellyroll was the big winner of the night. he will be appearing live on the show with gayle king. then we've got nate all the way in

before we had to break. the sun is just coming up, saying, have a great workweek . - lift the clouds off of... - virtual weather, only on kpix and pix+.

time now for your money watch report . elon musk says he will challenge an order by a supreme court judge in brazil ordered his company to block some accounts. in a post on x elon musk accused the judge of abusing the rights of the constitution. the judge threatened to impose heavy fines of any reactivation of accounts in question. let's talk powerball. somebody in oregon won $1.3 billion. no jackpot winner until the draw in oregon. if they take the cash option it would be a little bit more than half $1 million in their bank account. >> bomber , for them. >> you will still do okay, and

i don't feel bad that they will have a complicated tax year. they can afford a few people to help them out. total solar eclipse today, for some people . not us. while we won't see the moon totally block out the sun, we will still see a partial eclipse that begins at 10:14 a.m. and the best viewing at 11:13. if you are traveling to a different state that is under the path of totality you will most likely get an experience you will never forget. >> it will be memorable, that is the unique part to say i know exactly where i was >> the next solar eclipse is set to appear in 2045. parts of europe will experience it in just two years. joining us from indianapolis, a city under the path of totality, our senior space consultant, bill, welcome. and for those outside

of the path of totality, can you describe what people will see? >> reporter: a partial eclipse is lots of fun to watch, even if it doesn't go total. you will see the moon take a bite out of the sun. it will become crescent shape, which is utterly unique. and you don't want to stare at that with the unaided eye, you absolutely want to use eye protection. even partially covered, it is still thousands of times too bright to take in without risking permanent eye damage. so you need some of those solar eclipse glasses. take a good look at it, or a little pinhole camera. punch a tiny hole in cardboard and project an image on a piece of paper. definitely worth the effort though. >> we brought up those special

sunglasses, so what do they actually do when it comes to helping the view? >> reporter: it is basically darkening the sun by about 99.999% you really can't see anything through those glasses except for the sun. they lower the intensity of the light enough where you will not get that intense radiation that could damage the retina of your eye. and it is really not just because of the eclipse, if you go out on any day and stare at the sun you can risk eye damage. so, you've got those glasses, use them. >> one last question, how do scientists predict the pattern behavior of the moon? >> reporter: it is interesting, you got a bunch of things going on. you have to take into account the earth's orbit and the earth's rotation and that moons orbit. all of these things are moving at the same time and it turns out that

astronomers, literally, 2000 years ago they could predict upcoming eclipses. it is kind of mind-boggling, just kind of repeatedly watching and taking note, you can figure out a pattern. now they do it with computer accuracy down to fractions of a second. i was looking at your eclipse on my ipad and it will model it just as if i'm there. it's quite amazing how that works. >> that is awesome. thank you so much. and of course, make sure to wear those protective glasses. you can join us today for eclipse watch, our special coverage starts at 10:00 a.m., streaming on cbs news bay area and on the free cbs news app. in the bay area, we will get about 34% of the partial eclipse. luckily the weather

is shaping out to be perfect. right now in gilroy and some southern portions there is a little bit of cloud coverage, but that is starting to bleed off. a little breezy with the wind out of the north at around 20 miles per hour. the rest of us will notice just a little bit of a breeze. before we get into the overnight, the eclipse is happening this morning and like i mentioned, we will get about 30% and for our friends in the path of totality, here is the forecast. not the best weather down in the south in areas like texas and louisiana. now a little bit of alabama they are dealing with some really active weather and cloud coverage that could impact the total eclipse viewing. as we extend it to the north, areas like michigan and pennsylvania, we will continue to keep a close eye on that heading into the next couple of hours. they are heading closer and closer into that opportunity. into the east
