>> and thanks for joining us on this wednesday morning. and daria and i'm james. we want to start this hour with a check of weather and should probably begin with the traffic because i know we have that accident scene at the bay bridge. start with rain and that means trouble on the roads, right? let's go ed. good morning. well, thankfully the trouble that we were seen in the last hour, finally almost handled what you're looking at right behind me to vehicle traffic collision right here at the toll plaza. both of those vehicles, one of them moved off to the side of the road. the other one towed away was pretty smashed in. and when it all happened was pretty chaotic there. yet people running back and forth out of the lanes. they have to do a traffic about 10 minutes ago or so. so now what you're seeing is the aftermath of that all pushed to the side of the bay bridge. they have one lane blocked. you can still see the flares. the air. so to vehicle traffic collision. we're still trying to see how severe the injuries were. looks like everybody walked away from that, though. chp is going to be here until they

get this all cleared up and they complete that investigation. if you're wondering what your drive times are going to be still around. just 12 minutes to make it into the city right now. so the accident happened quick and they were just as quick to clean it clear that up. you still see that lane blocked there. but we're not seeing any major delays tow trucks still on scene. you can see the emergency vehicle still talking to people there. let's get a look at our other bridges. if you're not taking the bay bridge this morning, you probably want to know what the san mateo bridge looks like. a 12 minute ride a 80 to one o one heading across towards the peninsula out of richmond heading towards san rafale. just under 8 minutes of things have pretty quiet along our highways here. if you're checking want to one traveling up about 30 minutes, 85 to menlo park. 2, 80 82 looking great crockett down towards so just before you're approaching all that activity at the bay bridge just about under 60 minutes. that's a look at your traffic. a lot of people going back to work and school this week. john, how's the weather lookin yeah, we are seeing a beautiful sunrise this morning. rain a little

bit prettier than that view of the bay bridge. unfortunately, if you look close. >> you can see downtown san francisco rising up through the low gray that is being seen all across the lot of the rest of the bay area. really nice start to this morning as some more of those kiddo's get outside to get back to school for another day. you can see also some of that same low gray sitting right across the bay. very patchy this morning. most of us are in seeing visibility issues. there are a couple of spots out there, though, where you should watch out for current temps in the 50's to 60's light cool conditions this morning. light jacket kind of step. i should say petaluma and nevada 54 right now. oakland, you're at 64 degrees. well, livermore at 59 light jackets on as you're getting those kids ready. darya james. >> thanks a lot. and as you are getting the kids ready, it's the first day of school for teachers and parents and students in milpitas. yeah. the district says families can expect to see new teachers, new programs even have some new crawford's will trend

actually live for us in milpitas. now with a closer look at all of that. good morning. well, >> james, before i go into my report, i want to quickly ask you,d to you look forw the first day of school or did you hate it? >> i look forward to it. i was always excited. course about you will. of of course you did. no, no, of course. you did say though, id be dragged to school and i'm sure a lot of other parents will be driving their kids to school. >> you can see the lights on the right behind me at this elementary school in milpitas talking about 10,000 or so students within the school district summer is over. and now we're taking attendance in school. so get ready for buehler, buehler? yes, i just age to myself. the school district. they are ready to go. and unlike other school districts, many of them out there not just in the bay area but across the country. they claim within the milpitas unified school district. that staffing is not an issue. the

students and the staff will have the full support that they need. once the big ends in a couple of hours from now, depending on your age, of course, high schools, 10 to start a little bit earlier than elementary schools. but the bottom line is it is back in session. so keep in mind, i want to give a friendly reminder to people out there. you know, that school zone that you went by this summer go a little bit slower as the kids are back in is going to be a little bit slower because many people will be taking pictures of their kids. they're thinking about today, guys, but the 're also thinking about the future. let me show you the innovation campus in milpitas. they actually broke ground on this 4 years ago and it's going to take another 2 years for them to complete. and just like new things. it's state of the art. it will cater to the needs of students in the future with all the bells and whistles at a cost of 91 million dollars. what do you get for it? well, according to a school administrator to get a lot. >> first of its kind, the m

usd innovation campus will open doors and take us to another level in how we educate our students so that one day they can work for you. our partners, our businesses, founding members, the city of milpitas. the list is endless. and that is just the beginning. >> ok, as far as the innovation center, james and area, it's 66 million dollars and that money will come from the community. but it's a little bit short at a cost of 25 million dollars extra. so they are reaching out to the community to ask them if they can possibly donate. the bottom line is they do expect it to be finished in a couple of years. so now, but if your student, you're not thinking about the future, you thinking about that dreaded bell at 7.45, if you can possibly make it and not get the $0.10 on the first day, going to send it back to you. we are ready to go. talk to talk to administrators and parents

this morning. i want to quickly show you we are in the back to school theme. i was showing you guys a little bit earlier this morning. i guess what grade i was been laughed at, but how young i look take guess how old i was here. i think that's great. we the 5th. i think that was your maybe 3rd year in the 5th grade. >> 10th >> grade. i was just a little a big g $100 bills. very cool. i love that back-to-school pictured fact. that's a great segue will. thank you very much because we want everybody to send in pictures just like we'll just did and show us what you look like as you're heading back to school this year. the kron 4 app use the reported tab. send it our way. we'll show it here on air you never appreciate when all you look so much younger than her age you get older, >> 6, 0, 6, is the time right now. and continuing our stories in the east bay. go to the next story and we'll pick

it up from there. 6, 0, 6, just a school starting in the contra costa county district educators and staff. they're demanding better working conditions and pay. let's take a look at their demonstration. the contra costa county school education association rally at the office of education. they say that the students deserve smaller class sizes and more textbooks. educators want a better mental health program and a livable wage. we need to be able to retain more teaches. we've got teaches. >> great teaches that just completely bent. how and just moving on to different districts because the county is not listening to when asking the safety and children. >> currently, they are in the mediation process of the bargaining process and both sides are set to meet again soon. so we'll keep you posted. >> well, we have 2 backpack giveaways to tell you about today. first one is happening in san jose. sacred heart community service is putting it on the going to be giving away about 3800 backpacks during this giveaway, which is

going to be on south first street, starting at 8 in the morning. and then the second backpack giveaways in sandra fell. the river center is going to be giving out 170 backpacks to families. each one will include a gift card so they can buy new clothes. the giveaway starts at 9. and again, it will be at the river center on richard street. and new this morning, we have a follow-up to a story that we first told you about on monday. the contra costa county board of supervisors says it will fix the problems with the county's head start program head start helps kids from births really all the way to 5 years old. help them get ready for school. well, during yesterday's meeting, the board acknowledged that there was a report by the federal government would show that their program has deficiencies in several areas, including safety practices. the county has 120 days now to fix these issues or the program could lose all of its federal funding. the board says it will have those problems fixed by that deadline. >> that could be a change in the way you get a monkeypox shot. the fda just approved new dosing guidelines up to

now. if you get the vaccine, you get one vaccine with a full dose shot in the arm done. the new strategy is 2 shots a month apart and just one-fifth the dose injected under the skin. local doctors say this is been used with other vaccines in the past successfully. but some are concerned about how this could impact people who have unity disorders. >> 41% of people who are in this large 20,000 now, monkeypox outbreak across the planet are living with hiv. and so i would be worried, especially if the patient living with hiv isn't very well constitute a not medications i'd be worried about using the strategy in someone with hiv. >> leaders with the san francisco department of public health. so they're not going to be implementing these changes to the vaccine immediately. they're waiting for federal and state guidelines. it's 6, 0, 9 right now on news that we covering this morning, james. yeah,

monkeypox could soon be renamed the world health organization is exploring a new name. >> because the current name of the virus has been criticized right now for being discriminatory and potentially stigmatizing monkeypox got its name when it was first study back in monkeys in the 1950's. well, the organization says the virus needs a new name because there is a race's history of black people being referred to as monkeys. an infectious disease expert at ucsf doctor peter chin-hong says that the name is a misnomer since the virus is actually found most often in small rodents and not monkeys at all. >> the last thing you probably want is a way that immediately brings to mind images that have a historical context and association with racism. that actually is a horrible make. it just gets stigmatize ing. it's even make sense that that which is absolutely talking about changing the name. >> now, the world health organization, names, diseases, but it's actually the international committee on taxonomy of viruses that decides the formal names. and as of this week, there's been

no official name proposal to replace we'll keep calling at that. for now. >> the state's monkeypox select committee held their first meeting yesterday and they created this committee. both sides of the aisle say is to learn more about monkeypox and try to hopefully slow and stop the spread data from the california department of public health shows that here in california, we have more than 1300 cases, which is 500 more than there were last thursday. the federal government's public health announcement was made. governor newsom declared a state of emergency in the state and the committee is focused now on the vaccine rollout and d stigmatizing the virus. >> our goal is to do everything we can to control this outbreak. right now. it's not controlled. so we want to make sure that people have access to vaccines to testing and to the treatments that help make this less painful overall, it's just an opportunity for us to see and

assess where we are so that we can move forward from here and have a lot of facts. >> the next meeting of the committee will be in the fall. >> we will take a break here at 6.12, but still ahead on the kron, 4 morning news, the trump era travel ban is leaving thousands of o% immigrants in limbo. we'll explain why federal judge is ordering the federal government to do something about that. and after the break, republicans are coming to donald trump's defense after the fbi raided his mara lago as states. we'll tell you why his supporters say this may push him

for years, california's non-gaming tribes have been left in the dust. wealthy tribes with big casinos make billions, while small tribes struggle in poverty. prop 27 is a game changer. 27 taxes and regulates online sports betting to fund permanent solution to homelessness. while helping every tribe in california. so who's attacking prop 27? wealthy casino tribes who want all the money for themselves support small tribes, address homelessness. vote yes on 27.
