that's why get into the whole question of recklessness they get you into a mass case that easily could have been done. >>i think the decision was these officers were there they were firing in defense of their own life send out. and they were firing until the threat subsided. >>meantime president trump is praising kentucky's republican attorney general for his handling of the investigation when asked about the case the president said that the attorney general daniel cameron is quote really brilliant and the star. >>and he made a statement that i'll just it just is just this is often easy. it does not fit the mold of public opinion and it does not conform. to shifting standards it. it says only to the facts into the law. if we simply actor in a motion are outraged is no justice mob justice is a chess

is just a side by violence is not just as. it just becomes that they heard that i said write that down from a place because i think it's it was a terrific statement. he's handling it very well. >>the president said he soon and be speaking to kentucky governor andy bashir. >>democratic presidential nominee, joe biden reacted to the ruling saying quote we need to start addressing the use of excessive force banning choke holds and overhauling no knock warrants. he went on to add that he knows that people are frustrated and that they have the right to peacefully protest. however he says violence is not acceptable. and by his running mate senator kamala harris also responded saying in part quote, i'm thinking of briana taylor's family who still grieving the loss of a daughter and sister. we must never stop speaking brianna's name as we work to reform our justice system including overhauling no knock warrants. very families who have been no had their loved ones killed at

the sun comes back out with daytime highs back in the 70's and 80's another beautiful afternoon ahead of us much clear start to your morning we're going to start to see that on shore breeze, relaxing into tomorrow for your friday. this is the transition day out of see where we've been seeing ocean cooled air pushed across the bay area over the past week and into some hot dry inland. there that's going to be pushed out or direction starting on saturday. now as that happens fire danger increases inland east bay area's will be looking at fire weather watches taking effect on saturday lasting through monday as we see very warm daytime highs very low humidity and some strong winds gusting to 30 to 40 miles per hour. all of solano county also affected as well as upper elevations of napa. are in and sonoma counties as we work our way through the weekend what does that mean we'll avoid outdoor exposure. this weekend and use extreme caution and today just enjoy as much as possible because you'll miss days like today, come this

weekend and next week 60's and 70's for the coast today while 70's and 80's elsewhere, pretty familiar looking numbers really not a lot different than yesterday was san jose at 79 for the high union city 73 while low 80's in the tri valley on up through conquered in walnut creek expect some upper 80's. oakland at 75 beautiful afternoon. the layaway 80 well vacaville one of her hotter spots, 87. santa rosa down through center fell all in the low 80's looking ahead at tomorrow even a little bit cooler before the big warm up starts on saturday and then really intensifies into sunday monday and tuesday this is what our inland areas will be in the triple digits for many spots while 90's for many bayside areas on the same days, fire danger will be especially high into the upcoming weekend. so if you do plan on venturing outside these use extreme caution while doing so robin all right, thank you john let's check in on the traffic, no major hot spots right now, but we do have some foggy spots the bay bridge, the golden gate bridge.

>>covered in fog this morning. so that's going to impact your visibility need to be extra cautious and careful here on one oh one across the span. we're looking at 20 minutes from the north bay to san francisco with a dense fog advisory in place for chp the fog has rolled in over to the bay bridge as well covering oakland and emeryville it wasn't like this about 20 minutes ago. so just be cautious here you're delaying your slowdown goes all the way back to the bottom of so from that point up the incline you're going to be stuck in that typical stop and go traffic but that's normal so 10 minutes is a great average into san francisco. we're not dealing with fog on the san mateo bridge looks pretty good here 15 minutes to the peninsula. but we do have a little stretch of slowing out of the south bay for those of you leaving san jose, northbound one on one under the limit from 6.80 to 8.80 so 33 minutes from san jose to menlo park, i'll give you one more slow down for the east bay and that's highway for the usual crowd through pittsburg bay point you're looking at stop and go traffic from right

around the bart station to the top of a hill, so 22 minutes from antioch to concord for that commute on westbound fort james. >>all right. thank you very much, rob and governor gavin newsom has announced new initiatives to fight climate change the governor says the state will halt the sale of new gasoline powered passenger cars and trucks by 2035. so if you're going shopping for a new car or truck after that date it can't be aghast when they will have to be electric. he says the move will cut greenhouse gas emissions by 35% and he's calling on state regulators now to come up with requirements to meet his goal and although other countries have already put in similar requirements, california will be the first state in the u.s. to do so newsome says this initiative will have a huge impact on pollution. and of course the auto industry. >>the trends are in the direction of 0 emission vehicles, the trends are in the direction globally and 0 emission vehicles. if you are an american manufacturer how can you compete globally unless you're in that business unless you're pushing the boundaries of innovation

unless you're encouraging that same mindset that we are trying to advance here in the state of california. >>and the governor's plan would not ban people from owning gas-powered cars are selling them on the used-car market, but it would of course and the sale of any new gasoline powered car or truck in the state passenger car or truck california already has rules mandating a certain percentage of new car sales be electric or so as emission vehicles. >>6.52 right now in san francisco surveillance cameras are catching more crimes, here's one happening in somebodys garage. so far the city has recorded more than 5100 burglaries since the start of the year which is a 42% jump from last year. people who live in the northern part of san francisco north beach russian help pacific heights. they say they're experiencing break-ins in their neighborhood every day. according to the san francisco police there's been a 58% increase in the northern
