right now. at 11, pg&e begins power safety shut offs amid fire concerns. we're live in livermore with the latest updates from the utility and how long it could last. good

thursday morning and thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. and i'm kris sanchez. marcus washington is off. we do have some breaking news that could be affecting bart right now. bart is now recovering from an earlier problem. there is a ten minute delay systemwide to service because of an earlier computer networking issue. now, you might remember back in may, a fire at the san leandro station shut down green line service for nearly a week. that does not appear to be the same problem today. about ten minutes ago, bart said systemwide trouble for an undisclosed time. but now they're saying just about ten minutes a delay and they are recovering. we will continue to follow this for you through the morning. also this midday, amid increased fire danger across the bay area. pg&e is moving forward with planned power outages. it also comes hours after a brush fire broke out in the east bay. nbc bay area's bob redell joins us live from livermore and bob, that area already starting to see some power outages. we see it's

breezy for you there, too. we are at the corner of tesla road and greenville road here in the southeastern part of livermore, which is the eastern part of alameda county. you can see it's very windy. the hills here are very dry, as they have been for some weeks now, and it's very warm. and that's one reason why this area has some of its power shut off right now. so this is a very rural area. so you tk about wineries. people who live in the hills. you can take a look at the public safety power shut off map put out by pg&e. they say there are about 600 customers right now in this area. and in contra costa county without power. again, as a precaution, because of these dry conditions. and there's also we know some people without power in clayton, which is in contra costa county. pg&e we did speak with him within the past hour or so. they said there could be about a total of 1000 customers without power in the bay area,

as many as 11,000 over their entire service area. and again, the concern is with these winds, these dry conditions and the heat that power lines could clap together spark. and the last thing they want is to cause a wildfire. but the reason that we do these shut offs is because it's critically important that we eliminate the risk of catastrophic wildfires. we have seen terrible wildfires in the state of california over, over the last several years, and we are committed to taking whatever steps are necessary to minimize, reduce and hopefully eliminate that risk because. and this was a scene about 30 miles north of our location in antioch last night around seven, you can see this wildfire burned 290 acres. this was in a neighborhood up against a neighborhood near somersville and jack donlon. so it's in the foothills. this was

fueled by the dry grass and strong wind gusts. no homes burned, but some backyard fences were lost. people actually had to evacuate because the flames came so close. that evacuation order has since been lifted. those people are back home. we're told four residents were actually transported out of the area with symptoms of things like smoke inhalation. so again, 290 acres burned up there and containment as of early this morning, even though the fire is out, the containment lines around it. so nothing were to flare back up and spread is at around 50% reporting live here in livermore. bob redell, nbc bay area news. all right. thanks for the very latest, bob. all right. speaking of fire danger, no plants, no shrubs, no trees within five feet of your home. that is the new rule for people in berkeley's most fire prone areas. the berkeley city council passed its ember proposal, one of the strictest wildfire prevention plans in the state, which includes so-called zone zero standards. that means only non-flammable or hardscape material like gravel within five feet of. structure. plants can

ignite. it doesn't really matter what the plant is under the right conditions, dry plants burn, and if you've got burning material very close to your house, your house has a good chance of burning. and here in berkeley, the fuel load as it is in many places, it's the houses and if we can. so we're trying to protect the houses, keep the houses from catching on fire. now, in addition to no plants within five feet, berkeley's ember plan requires vent and gutter covers and for homeowners to move wooden gates away from homes. this applies to the most fire prone areas, like grizzly peak and panoramic hill mitigation areas. enforcement won't begin until next may. now, though, this is official for berkeley. we'll all want to pay attention because the state is working on zone zero rules that will eventually apply to fire zones all around california, and we do know how dry it is out there. and winds can also be a concern. yeah, it's so dry. you

go up to the hillsides and you can just kind of crack the grasses in half. and those winds will continue as we track them through today and tomorrow. some changes are coming about as we look outside right now. clear sunny skies. but those winds around 1020 miles an hour through san carlos, pleasanton, petaluma. and as we go on and take a look at that area where bob was out there towards the tri-valley, we see them gusting even more up there towards the altamont pass, fairfield, the delta. and that will creep on up as we go on into the afternoon. so that's when those fires start to break out in the evening hours. make sure you have our app so we can send you alerts when things do break out. we take a look at this afternoon, even on into tomorrow, our first official day of summer, we'll talk about the changes that we're tracking in that full forecast coming up in just a few minutes. sounds good. cinthia is monitoring conditions throughout the day, and so can you through our free nbc bay area weather app. all you have to do is scan that qr code on your screen. you can sign up to receive

personalized alerts sent straight to your phone. all bay area lawmakers continue to push back against the trump administration promise of the biggest mass deportation in history, and the ice raids that they say are terrorizing immigrant communities. state senator josh becker of menlo park joins us this morning. thank you so much for joining us. senator. what's your what's your message for the president? well, first, i want to recognize the irony. you had me on here last year talking about my efforts to recognize the last time we had a mass deportation in this country in the 30s. and what a moral and economic disaster that was. and now, not more than six months later, we're here to talk about another mass deportation. a republican president planning a mass deportation, the impact it's already having, and the bay area council coming out with a study saying it's going to have disastrous economic consequences, costing the country over $275 billion and in direct tax revenue, $23 billion, including $13 billion for

california. so kind of the moral and economic disaster that mass deportation would be here in the bay area. and your message for the president, message for the president is that we are organized. i represent 27 bay area legislators, and we are organizing. we are coordinating to look at the impact across our different communities and then working on legislation over. one of the thing that came out in this study is that over 50% of undocumented people in california have been here over 20 years. so these are people with families. these are people, essential workers. over a third of our construction workers, over a third of our agriculture workers, over a third of our home health care workers taking care of the elderly, taking care of the sick. so the president thinks this is a good idea to traumatize kids who are now worried if their parents are going to come home. these kids who are legal residents of this country, he is sadly mistaken. we're going to absolutely push back and fight against these

raids and the way that they're being conducted. you talked about the economic impact, and it seems like the president has been getting that message from people as well. he said that he wanted those ice raids to stop at farms and hotels and restaurants. but then just days after that, homeland security said they were going to continue those workplace raids. so what do you make of that? well, f fit of all, the selective targeting of california is absolutely outrageous. he's very explicit that he's going after blue states. you know, when biden was president, his main policy was factories across the country for clean energy. most of those went to red states instead, that trump is targeting the blue states. you know, he's obviously recognizing some of the economic damage he's causing. but as you say, the raids are still continuing. and it's just having absolutely a chilling effect. we have over 1.8 million undocumented immigrants in this state. and like i said, most of them have been here more than 20 years. these are essential workers in o our community. and, you know, he may say, hey, i'm not going to target this

industry or that industry, but ultimately it's his policies that are having this disastrous economic consequences. and people across california, even my republican colleagues, i have to tell you privately, they're horrified about what's happening. well, and you talk about that chilling effect. so if somebody wants to victimize an immigrant and they don't go to the police and that person who's victimizing people maybe hits somebody else at another point who is documented, i want to talk about the california national guard, though they remain under the control of the president, at least pending that ninth circuit court of appeals decision, you have to have constituents who are members of the california guard, who are members of the u.s. the marines down there who were deployed to la. what are they saying to you? yeah, we are absolutely concerned about this, and we want to try to visit these national guard members. we've not been able to so far, but we know that we've always been able to visit troops. in the past

when we've been, when we've asked to. and so we went to visit these national guard. we've we've read the chronicle itself, you know, chronicled had pictures of the disastrous conditions that these folks are living in. and i know that our leaders here in california are national guard leaders, are very concerned. and again, this is absolutely unprecedented. kristi noem herself stated in 2024 that it would be an absolute violation of states rights if this happened. and now they're doing it to here. so we're going to absolutely push back on this. all right. state senator josh becker of menlo park, thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us today. thank you. iranian missile strikes an israeli hospital during a volley of strikes between the two countries. president trump weighs in on the escalating conflict. we'll have the latest from overseas on where things stand. we're live in san francisco with the juneteenth event that's already kicked off. ahead, we'll run down the

celebrations and events happening across the bay area. and the important reminder coming from city leaders, you're watching no o nne's dumb enough to go where we're going. if we get this dna, millions of of lives are saved. don't move. hold on! we're not going to let you get hurt, ok? go! [ orchestrial music playing ] let's go! come on!

the white house press secretary says president trump will make a decision on attacking iran in the next two weeks. this comes as thousands of u.s. troops are already stationed in northern iraq. as nbc's keir simmons reports, missiles hit a hospital in israel overnight. we're around two hours from the iranian border here in northern iraq. in that direction is the american base, perhaps the one closest to iran? and there there are around 3000 international military at that base now. so far, that has not been substantially targeted, although there are reports of drones downed in this region. over in

israel, a very, very difficult night. they now say around 271 people are injured after that hospital was targeted in southern israel, in iran. israel continuing to target iran's nuclear program, striking multiple sites. president trump now having to decide whether to target the fordo nuclear site. it is the one buried deep in the ground that perhaps can only be reached by american bunker buster bombs, those 30,000 pound bombs. one of the issues of president trump. it's not even clear whether those bombs would destroy that site. on the other side of the iranian border from here, meanwhile, the israelis signaling again that they are interested in regime change. the israeli defense minister saying that ayatollah khomeini, the leader of iran, cannot continue.

thank you keir. new at 11 president trump is extending the deadline for tiktok's parent company to sell the app to an american owner. he signed an executive order earlier this morning granting a third extension. this allows the app to operate in the u.s. until september 17th. back in january, a law requiring the social media app to be sold off by its china based parent company went into effect. the legislation was passed over concerns that tiktok's chinese ownership poses a u.s. national security risk. today, we are marking juneteenth, a celebration of the end of slavery in the u.s. it is also a day to honor those who have long battled for civil rights. this morning, we are honoring doctor amos brown, senior pastor of third baptist church in san francisco. brown has been a leader at the city's first baptist black church since 1976. but since his days growing up in jackson, mississippi, he's also been a crusader for civil

rights. he was arrested numerous times, protesting, even attending a class taught by doctor martin luther king jr. brown says his life's work has been motivated by a single idea. was that law? was that dictum that you find in all of the eight major religions of the world. do unto others as you would have them do unto you. coming up tonight at five, we'll tell you about a significant life change brown is making after nearly half a century on the pulpit. in the meantime, juneteenth celebrations happening today across the bay area. with that, a reminder from authorities to celebrate safely. nbc bay area's ginger conejero saab is live in san francisco at one of the celebrations happening and ginger, a lot of folks gathering together to commemorate this historic holiday. i believe it is a lot of reflection on the significance of today. chris and laura, we're at the longshore workers union juneteenth

celebration here near fisherman's wharf in the city. it is a holiday. it is a moment to commemorate the end of slavery in the country after the civil war. now it is a federal and state holiday, as many of us know, but not all state employees have an automatic paid day off. so there are some state offices that may still remain open. let's give you some more guidance on that. government offices and services may also have special hours or may be closed altogether. the stock market. most banks in the dmv are all closed today, and there will be no mail delivery as well. but fedex and ups locationss a open along with most retail stores. schools, for the most part, are already out for summer break. now, authorities are urging everyone to celebrate safely and avoid any violence like the kind that ended last year's junetnth event in oakland. that is when gunfire led to chaos as thousands were celebrating at lake merritt. 16 people were shot and injured. oakland police this year say they are adding

more officers. the goal is basically to provide a safe holiday and make it a family friendly environment for all attendees. going over to the traffic and potential closures that we're going to have around the lake, there will be some closures around lake merritt. so we ask the residents to be prepared for that day, june 19th, the entire day, to be prepared to make arrangements, because there will be more than likely some traffic restrictions due chris pollone. all right. there are a long list of events happening across the bay area today, including a juneteenth heritage gala that's happening at 530 this evening in oakland that includes food, wine, live entertainment and a freedom awards presentation. there's also a children's themed event happening today at the children's discovery museum in san jose. here we see the

juneteenth party from the longshore workers union. that's happening. a lot of fun that's already been set up here. there's also going to be a party along market street between fifth and sixth that's happening later this afternoon. there are more events on our website at nbcbayarea.com to let everyone know what is happening today. for now, we're live in san francisco, ginger conejero saab nbc bay area news. all right, a lot of great info there, and especially important to explain what our kids the importance of today. absolutely. thanks, ginger. ginger. tonight here on nbc bay area, a special dateline on a court case which captivated the nation's attention for weeks. yesterday, a jury found karen reed not guilty of murder and manslaughter charges. in her retrial, prosecutors accused her of killing her boyfriend, boston police officer john o'keefe. dateline's andrea canning also spoke with lead investigator and former massachusetts state trooper michael proctor. he led the investigation into o'keefe's death and was fired over revelations that emerged in

reed's first trial, which he shared investigative details with non-law enforcement personnel and also made derogatory comments about karen reed. he is now responding to accusations that he framed her. what do you want to say to anyoneho believes the narrative, the defense's narrative, that that you are corrupt, that you framed karen reed? i laugh because it's such a ridiculous accusation. there's not one piece of evidence or fact to support that because it did not happen. i would never do mething like that. did you crack the taillight to make it look a certain way? absolutely not. you can watch the entire two hour dateline special tonight at 9:00, right here on nbc bay area. it's called center of the storm. we don't have a storm brewing in our neck of the woods, but it is cooler. it is cooler. we will feel those changes as we go on into the afternoon. and i wanted to get right outside, because i hear

that some metallica fans are coming down to santa clara for their merch. how fun an umbrella is. not a bad idea. i took one out there one time. people looked at me kind of weird, but i was protecting myself from the sun, which we are looking at a lot there through santa clara over the next couple of hours. temperatures getting to 72 this afternoon. the walnut creek camera has been really good at showing us that wind that's arriving. so a cooling factor for today and tomorrow as we go on into summer. on friday, the winds, of course, bringing that elevated fire danger through our hillsides as we go on in to talk about this afternoon. so we're going to knock down those temperatures from those upper 80s and 90s yesterday to only about 82 there through fairfield 81, santa rosa, 66 hayward. so we see the cooler numbers along the east bay shoreline down into the south county. we're also due those 80s for this afternoon. look at that cool down for tomorrow as well. so the numbers not concerning me too much as far as the fire danger goes. but the wind gusts, that's what we'll be talking about as we go on through three, four, 5:00.

that's when those fires break out. notice that the contours there, purples and those dark oranges through our coastlines, the interior there through concord, the delta, and also the altamont pass. so aside from fire, weather and the winds, make sure you're driving carefully along our bay area ridge tops and the bridges, too. i see this continuing on into friday as well. now, what those gusts do aside from the cooling factor, it also dries out the vegetation even more in our bay area hills. so something to watch there. two places that are going to get a little bit more moisture to help their fire concerns. as we go on deeper into the season. pacific northwest a little bit of a late season storm up north. if that's where your road trip plans are going. as far as us here. extended outlook, no major changes and no major heat aside from the winds. that's what we'll watch for this weekend. mid to upper 70s through about saturday. getting us getting us back into some 80s as we go on sunday and into next week chris. all right. thank you cinthia. happening now the 4th of july fireworks show at almaden lake

park in san jose canceled this year. council member george casey, who represents district ten where the park is located, is citing safety concerns. last year, a fire started that took firefighters hours to put out. council member casey says emergency crews also had a difficult time responding to calls in the area because of the large crowds and hundreds of cars blocking the streets. san jose is still hosting other fireworks shows on the 4th of july, including at lake cunningham park.
