we are live this morning in new york, just outside of the courthouse, breaking what is expected as jury selection begins in donald trump's hush money trial. this is "today in the bay." it's monday morning. good morning to you. thanks for allowing us to be a part of your morning. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. don't forget it's tax day as well. all right, let's see if it's less sad trombone in the weather department. this weather has been taxes -- taxing, but it's going to be nice. we're going to see it warm up as we go throughout the week. we're right now in the low 50s. in oakland it's 47, and low 40s for parts of the north bay. it is a chilly start and it will be a slightly warmer afternoon. in hayward we're starting out at 54 degrees and we'll see a few

peeks of sunshine throughout the morning into the early afternoon, as we're headed up to 66 degrees. it's going to be 68 in san jose and upper 60s for concord and martinez, and san francisco, 62 degrees. but look at the change we'll see tomorrow. mid to upper 70s, and it will feel more like the end of spring. i'll have more in the forecast in a few minutes. mike, you're seeing the build coming out of oakland. >> bay bridge toll plaza, a little more volume. no surprises, but a crash in walnut creek. we have slowing down in richmond, so watch that for the upper eastshore freeway. and clearing in vargas did not happen as quickly as i thought, so we may see more slowing out of sunol and toward fremont. back to you. . >> announcer: this is an nbc news special report. here's savannah guthrie. >> hi, everybody, good morning, we come on the air with breaking news.

former president donald trump set to arrive at any moment at a new york city courthouse as the beginning of his first criminal trial gets underway in just a few minutes. jury selection up first. a process expected to take at least several days if not more. our cameras are right there waiting for the arrival of the former president. over the next few days, 12 jurors and 6 alternates have to be selected to hear the case. we have our cameras high in the sky watching the president's motorcade as he arrives in downtown manhattan for this trial. he faces 34 counts of falsifying business records. these are related to hush money payments made in 2016 in the closing weeks of the campaign to adult film actress stormy daniels. those payments took place through his then attorney michael cohen who has pleaded guilty and will testify in this matter, and the payments as mentioned came near the end of his first campaign for president. we have our reporters fanned out this morning.

the former president denying any wrong doing in the case, and says he will testify at the trial. laura jarrett is there in position. so laura, set this up for us. what are we about to see? >> reporter: savannah, an unprecedented moment playing out here in lower manhattan. the former president's motorcade just arriving here at the courthouse as he sets to go in for day one of what will be a historic moment for the country, for him, his trial actually quite simple, savannah, as you laid out. 34 felony counts, all having to do with what prosecutors say was an illegal scheme to cover up a hush money payment. we call it the hush money case, but prosecutors have tried to crack it as far more broad, potentially much more significant having to do with what they think is election interference, a scheme to try to hide pertinent information, an alleged affair from the voters in 2016. the former president denies all of the charges. he denies knowing about the

scheme. he denies that the affair ever happened. he pled not guilty. he has tried to fight this case tooth and nail for the better part of a year but lost all of his appeals. that's why he's here today for the joining of jury selection. >> stand by. we have heard that the former president has entered the courthouse, and we've got cameras in there. we are allowed to shoot comings and goings outside the courtroom. there will be no camera or audio recording of this trial, including jury selection, which is about to get underway. with me here we have senior washington correspondent hallie jackson, and nbc news analyst, danny cevallos. the former president has been defiant. he has used these criminal matters. there are four cases pending against him. this is the first to see trial. he has used them to his advantage in the republican primary. now we're in a general election. how do you think this plays? he has to be in court every single day for this criminal trial. >> super important point because what we're about to see now from these hallway cameras is what we are going to see from the former president for weeks to come.

he has an opportunity to stop, to talk to reporters, to be visible, to be present. it's not a campaign rally but it's the collision of the campaign trail and the courtroom. that is how he has tried to use it to his advantage. i'm told by a senior adviser, the former president feels defiant, as he has for months and years now, convey all of these legal issues against him as the idea as he sees it, a victim of political persecution. in the republican primary, this was gang busters. he did well from a support perspective. he consolidated the gop party around him in the primary. he raise add ton of money, millions of dollars after the indictments came down in each of these cases. question is will that hold for a general election. half of americans, about 44% say it doesn't matter whether president trump is convicted. you know who doesn't think that, a third of independents, 36%, say they are less likely to vote for the former president if he

ends up with a conviction. he can run for president if he has a conviction. there's nothing constitutionally that says he could no longer run, that he has to drop out at that point. >> as i turn to danny cevallos, a practicing defense lawyer, this is something so ordinary, a criminal case in the manhattan courthouse, and in other ways, extraordinary. we have never seen a former president go on trial in a criminal matter. now jury selection. this is a manhattan jury that will be selected. not trump country. so how will they go about finding a jury that can be fair? >> judge merchan has made it clear that someone's political affiliation, who they voted for is not a factor that will automatically exclude someone from this jury. the jury questionnaire reflects that. 42 questions. not one of them is who did you vote for in the last election, but judge merchan said, and you can see for yourself, you can get a pretty good idea of where

someone stands by their questions to the questionnaire. the question, are you a member of antifa or the proud boys. have you ever attended a donald trump rally, the answer to that question, if it's in the affirmative, will give you a pretty good idea of how this particular juror votes. the mere fact that they may not have voted for donald trump, or like donald trump, will not disqualify people from the jury. the test is and has always been, given what you know or think about this particular defendant, can you set those ideas aside and judge this case fairly on the facts and the evidence. the challenge here is just realism. this is someone that is so divisive in this country and we're in a county that voted overwhelmingly for president biden, how do you suss through that. i actually think normally people try to get off jury duty. i think something they need to guard for here is the stealth juror, someone who will appear plain, neutral, but wants to get on the jury, maybe because they

have an agenda or simply they know this is a part of history and they want to be part of history. >> and that can cut both ways, stealth juror. it only takes one juror to side with the former president and you have a hung jury. you need a unanimous jury to get a conviction in this case. >> exactly right. it's often said it only takes one to hang a jury, but reality is, if jurors deliberate, and you only have one or two in the room, they usually get harangued into changing their vote. just one juror can hang the entire case. and by the way, some of the traditional thoughts about jury selection are flipped on their head. a defense attorney like me, if someone comes in and has a connection to law enforcement or an affinity to law enforcement, you want them off that jury. maybe in a case like this, that's exactly who donald trump wants on the jury, given voting patterns and other things behind our area, this is a unique jury

selection, and lawyers are involved in jury selection in new york, which is unusual. in federal court, for example, i don't say a word until i'm spoken to by the judge. they have one on one access to question the jurors. >> which is an opportunity for both sides to see the facts and see the jury pool. >> let me turn back to laura jarrett. we are awaiting the former president to walk into the courtroom. just the specter, he's required to be there every day. he has indicated that he wants to testify. if he does, his lawyers can't stop him from doing so. how do you expect that to play out day by day? >> reporter: the trick of it is, savannah, he's been in this courtroom before. he's been here obviously for his arraignment and pretrial hearings. this is different. his appearance is not voluntary, he's required to be here unless he gets special dispensation from the judge, and the judge has made it clear, he expects him to be here every single day, which in the middle of a reelection campaign is also just

extraordinary and unprecedented if you really think about it. it will be interesting to see who's driving this. you talk about him saying he wants to testify. that obviously poses extreme risk for him across examination. obviously he would be in the witness chair there under oath and would have to testify truthfully in front of this jury as they assess his credibility, and we have seen him testify before, just recently in his civil fraud trial, he insisted upon testifying in that case. and we know how that one turned out. it may be the case he doesn't testify, in which case the prosecution can't comment in front of the jury. he has a right not to testify like any other defendant. throughout the trial, we see the power struggle between what donald trump the candidate needs to do and what his lawyers think is in the best interest for him. >> we also have "meet the press" moderator, kristen welk with us. there's probably no question

he'll testify on the courthouse steps, though there is a partial gag order in the case. what is the trump strategy as this case unfolds? he's off the campaign trail and in a courtroom. how does he intend to balance those things? >> it's a great question. we have seen it play out throughout his previous court cases in which he has made use of the cameras outside the courtroom. i am told by and adviser close to donald trump, he and his team will make use of every avenue to the media possible. no surprise there. he's a former reality tv star, after all. he knows how to do this. savannah, he has been very clear he plans to be out on the campaign trail as much as he can after court. court's not going to be in session on wednesday. expect him to be out on the campaign trail as well. he's close to nearby pennsylvania. big battleground states. expect to see president biden in pennsylvania, by the way, this

week. he has three separate stops in pennsylvania. he's going to try to counter program this. don't expect him to talk about the court case. he's going to be talking about the economy, abortion, other issues that he thinks will resonate. we just got new polling nationally showing that this race is as tight as a tick. all of this could potentially resonate with moderates, independents in the critical battleground states. savannah. >> we continue to keep our eyes on those doors. we expect former president trump to walk in as his criminal trial, an unprecedented moment in american history, a criminal trial for a former president begins any minute now with jury selection. i want to turn to danny cevallos, one of the lawyers on our panel this morning. let's talk about the case. there are four cases, criminal cases pending against the former president. this is the new york case. there has been a lot of analysis

of the strengths and weaknesses of the various cases. this is the weakest legally. why is that? >> it's probably the most defensible for a number of reasons. number one, the original theory of the case is that trump falsified business records and additionally because he was doing that to conceal another crime, it's elevated to a felony in new york. the other crime it is a federal campaign violation, which really is an unusual place. it's a novel theory. nst never really been tested in new york courts. falsification of business records has been tested. a crime that is prosecuted. the prosecution must prove not only that the business records were falsified but additionally that it was in concealment of a crime. the defense there could simply be it wasn't for campaign purposes. it was to reduce the

embarrassment that i would have with melania. or you might see a defense of i don't know anything about that. those are other people, michael cohen acted on his own. that's why i suspect you see witnesses, hope hicks, people around him and maybe heard him talk about things. michael cohen has credibility issues. but i have to say, that's a classic thing that all cooperating witnesses have. if he's introducing documents, the prosecution will say the documents speak for themselves. >> michael cohen is the former lawyer, the person who executed these payments and later was reimbursed. he has pleaded guilty. and when you have a cooperating witness like that, they have credibility problems. the prosecutors will have to shore him up with corroborating evidence. >> they are. they're going to have to try to use some documentary evidence.

there's one recording we know about. not about stormy daniels, the porn star involved in these hush money payments. there's another one, the former president is on tape discussing how the reimbursement schemes will work. prosecutors want to bring in all of that to flesh out the story. they want to show a pattern of suppressing a bunch of stories leading up to the election, all in service of trying to keep what they say, prosecutors say was damaging information from the voters. as danny laid out, the defense is going to continually say this wasn't about keeping information from the voters because the voters would have never seen how i was documenting on my books and records. this was about a personal issue, embarrassment, keeping the issue from his wife, savannah. >> and we don't know how the public will react, how this will play politically. of all the facts that are pending, this is certainly the steamiest. this is the scummiest settle of facts. >> it's a set of facts that was

known before the president was elected in 2016. it was in the public eye prior to election day. >> a porn star who he acknowledges having an consensual affair with. >> denies wrong doing. the politics is interesting because the timing piece, savannah. you brought up the idea that this is perceived to be potentially the weakness case from a legal perspective. those close to the former president see a political advantage in this case coming up first and not the federal election interference case and not the case involving the mishandling, allegedly of classified documents here. the fact that this is the one we're sitting here talking about, in the public eye, they see this as potentially useful because of the fact that it is known information, it is happening in new york city, where the former president has and can say, look, it's manhattan, there are a bunch of democrats looking to be out to get me. we're talking about the names coming up. you can be forgiven for flashing back to 2016. that is the vibe.

hope hicks, who we haven't seen for or heard from in years. >> stormy daniels will testify, karen mcdougal, anoer woman claims to have been paid off. she may be a potential witness. >> the "national enquirer" folks involved in the catch and kill scheme, you see the list of potential witnesses. we are expecting to find out morebout possibly as early as today, these were all names we were having conversations about, who are coming back and reliving, as you put it, some of the steamy details of what exactly happened here. >> danny, one of the issues, and we only have a couple of seconds left, is timing. the former president can say, look, this was a personal matter, i used personal funds, these are my business records, no one is relying on them. then why did you do it in the waning days of the 2016 election. this story had been out there for much longer than that.

>> exactly right. the timing is probably the prosecution's best piece of evidence. had it happened a year or two more, there's no case. the prosecution needs to time in the timing, to go against the defense saying this is a personal payment. >> danny cevallos, hallie, and kristen welker, we will continue to have our coverage on the streaming network, nbc news now, nbc.com. we'll wrap up on "nightly news", and we'll be the eyes and ears inside that that was a special report from nbc news. of course, we will continue to follow that. you can find more information online at nbcbayarea.com. we are following breaking news, a bombshell plan by tesla to conduct massive layoffs. a report from business insider indicates the company, as soon as today, may be cutting more than 10% of its workforce. tesla so far is not commenting,

but did recent report poor quarterly earnings results. the report cites an email sent yesterday by ceo elon musk. tesla currently employs close to 150,000 people across the globe. that includes about 20,000 at its fremont factory. it's still not clear if any of the layoffs will impact the fremont plant. well, this morning, more calls for action following another weekend of dangerous sideshows here in the bay area. "today in the bay"'s bob redell joining us live from the east bay this morning. bob, i know one local leaders begging police to do more here. >> reporter: yes, we're talking about oakland city council member noel gallo who says that he and fellow residents have asked opd, the chief and deputy chief, to do more, they need more assistance in cracking down on illegal sideshows that take

place not only on the freeways behind me, but on local streets. that was the scene early sunday morning, illegal sideshows took over intersections at several locations in oakland sometime before 2:00 a.m. so that would be just over 24 hours ago. hundreds of people, as you can see, watched as cars did dangerous donuts close to spectators. you saw the video of the fireworks going off. there were reports of gunshots. opd says that when officers arrived, people did disperse, but not always in an orderly fashion. as you can see in that video, a driver rammed their sedan into at least one oakland police car. at one point, a car was set on fire. the next morning, workers cleaned up the charred mess from the middle of the road as city

council member gallo looked on. gallo tells us he was impressed that opd did show up to try to stop the sideshows sunday morning, and that in some instances they even issued citations. >> the reality is oakland does need more officers. i still remember the day when they had 780 officers. we can do a lot better, but it's going to take all of us united to get it done. >> reporter: we did ask police about citations and arrests, but have not yet heard back. after sideshow activity in the city the weekend before, opd posted on social media saying violent, disruptive and illegal behavior will not be tolerated, officers will issue citations, make arrests and tow cars. reporting live here in the east bay, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> certainly a lot going on. bob, thank you. well, turning to decision 2024, the race for california's 16th congressional district is heating up yet again. that recount set to begin later

today. former san jose mayor sam liccardo winning 21% of the march primary votes. both low and simitian winning 17%, making that a three-way runoff for november. but after two requests for a recount, it's possible that field could be narrowed to just two candidates. assembly member low and santa clara county supervisor simitian both had 30,249 votes last month. if the results are the same, the men will have to pay the cost of the recount. new at 6:00, south bay leaders plan to gather later today to push back against changes planned at one hospital. in february, regional medical center announced they were closing due to low patient volume. nurses rallied against the plan change, which is expected to take place in august. today santa clara county

supervisor cindy chavez will join to push to keep

good morning to you. very happy monday as well. shares in donald trump's truth social expected to fall today as the company says it will issue more stock. more stock dilutes current shareholder value. business insider says it has seen internal emails from tesla

saying the car company will lay off 10% of its employees. we have not been able to confirm that. markets had a terrible day on friday, their worst all year, as investors worried about inflation. if inflation sticks around, so, too, will higher interest rates. now, remember, wall street is not the economy. the economy continues to do well. growth is up, retail sales up, wages up, unemployment near historic lows. a new survey of economists by the "wall street journal" found even fewer of them were entertaining the idea of a recession, down to about 10% of economists surveyed thinking that we would have even one quarter of negative growth. samsung is the best selling phone maker, beating out apple. the number of apple iphones worldwide continues to fall, according to sales data from research firm idc. samsung makes 20% of all new phones sold, apple 17%. samsung is going to get billions

of dollars in grants from the chips bill to build a factory in texas. the commerce department will announce a $6.8 billion grant today. the bipartisan chips bill hopes to encourage more manufacturing here to make us less dependent on foreign countries for critical computer parts. united airlines canceled its investors day. the company has run into all kinds of problems, mostly from boeing-made aircraft. united says it would just send the wrong message to have a day celebrating the airline's achievements when its team is focused on working with regulators to improve safety. this year on our podcast sand hill road i talk with one of the richest men in israel, the founder of checkpoint software. people call him the godfather of cybersecurity. >> did you know that you are the godfather of israeli cybersecurity? >> i heard this term used

before. but i think there are many godfathers to this success. i've done well, you know, and i've lived an interesting life. so that's a benefit. >> that's just what a godfather would say. you can listen to sand hill road anywhere you get your podcasts. >>

until now they've all been civil trials. today, the first criminal trial of donald trump. locked up and locked down. we are live in san francisco where two county jails are on high alert after multiple inmate attacks on deputies. how the sheriff's department is now responding. and it's tax day. if you haven't filed, we've got you covered. what you need to know if you're a last-minute filer. this is "today in the bay." good monday morning to you. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. let's get a look at what's going on with the weather. meteorologist kari hall, of course, has been monitoring that. beautiful shot there in san francisco. >> it's nice that we have the low clouds, we can see the clouds above that, all from our sutro tower camera. we've had a mix of sun and clouds throughout the weekend. but it was very chilly, with rain that came through on saturday. today we will see some peeks of sunshine, slightly warmer temperatures, and then we see a

bigger spike in temperatures starting tomorrow, with sunshine. the rest of the week will be warm and feeling like spring, even more like late spring. but today we're going to see our highs in the mid to upper 60s, all around the bay area nice and quiet conditions, with no rain in sight. we'll talk about the warm-up in those temperatures coming up in a few minutes. breaking news this morning, the fbi opening a criminal investigation into the collapse of the francis scott key bridge in baltimore. here is a live look at that bridge this morning, or what's left of it. the investigation is focusing on the circumstances leading up to the deadly incident, including whether all federal laws were followed. six construction workers were killed when the ship lost power last month and drifted into the leg of the bridge, causing it to collapse. also breaking this morning, american history being made as the very first criminal trial of a former american president gets under way. >> scott mcgrew, it all starts

with jury selection. >> that's right. i've got the jury questions right here. there are 26 questions in all, like have you ever attended a trump rally, or an anti-trump rally, what kind of podcasts do you listen to. now, the jurors or potential jurors will not be asked who they voted for or who they intend to vote for. question 32, do you have any feelings or opinions about how mr. trump is being treated in this case? they will also be asked the standard fare that you would see in any trial this morning. what do you do for a living, have you ever been a victim of a crime. lawyers on both sides get to reject some potential jurors without explaining why, just like they do in the movies. last week, former president trump said he would testify in his own defense. that can be a good idea or terrible idea, depending on the trial, depending on the defendant. it's quite possible trump's lawyers will ask him not to because trump's behavior is

unpredictable. video here of him at his new york city civil fraud trial, which he testified and lost. he testified and lost in a previous case, the civil trial brought by e.j. carroll. in that courtroom, the judge threatened to throw trump out if he didn't improve his behavior. judge kaplan, i hope i don't have to consider excluding you from trial. i understand you're probably pretty eager for me to do that. trump, i would love that. you just can't control yourself. trump has to be at his own criminal trial whether he testifies or not, that's new york state law. he can be asked to be excused for some days but the judge has to approve that. as for actual accusations, trump is accused of faking business records to cover up hush money payments to an adult film star who has threatened to go to the tabloids with an account of

their affair. trump does not deny the payments made through his then attorney michael cohen, who is expected to be a witness against trump. but he denies having an affair with stormy daniels. so affairs are not illegal, hush money actually is not illegal. it's the faking of the business records which is not legal. >> and this is the first of four criminal trials that trump will face? >> that's right. the one in georgia got gummed up, as you well know, with fani willis. the one in florida, many people feel it's a pro-trump judge that's slowing things down. the one in washington, d.c. is slowed down by -- we're waiting on a supreme court decision. so this may be the only one that happens before -- with a verdict, before the actual election. >> wow, so interesting, the times we're living in. thank you very much. a lot going on in this world as well. we have a live look from tel aviv, where israel's war cabinet is believed to be holding another meeting right now in response to iran's weekend

attack, and there are new fears in the united states about the situation escalating into a wider regional conflict. the white house says president biden is already advising israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu not to retaliate, indicating the u.s. would not participate in offensive operations. at a g7 meeting yesterday, the president urged restraint. in the meantime, there are renewed calls from congress to pass the now stalled bipartisan israeli aid package. happening today, the promise of global action by palestinian supporters, including actions promised right here in the bay area. the group is calling itself a15 for april 15th. organizers designed a website calling for a global blockade in more than 50 cities around the world. bay area organizers are vowing actions at west oakland b.a.r.t. station and later today at two fremont locations. the warm springs b.a.r.t.

station and the nearby tesla factory. global protest locations today include ports and other so-called major economic choke points. developing this morning, two san francisco county jails remain on lockdown after a surge in inmate attacks targeting jail workers. visitors, programs, services all being cut off at two locations. "today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is live for us this morning in san francisco. ginger, i know we're learning that this apparently has been a growing issue there for weeks now. >> reporter: that's right, marcus. the san francisco sheriff's office says in the past two weeks seven staff members have been injured by incarcerated persons. some of those injuries have been serious. now, that is why a lockdown went into effect at two san francisco jails. we have not been told the lockdown has been lifted just yet. but it went into affect at san francisco county jail number 2 and county jail number 3 in san bruno.

all visits, programs and services were canceled because the san francisco sheriff's office says there has been an increase in assaults on deputies and jail staff by inmates. the sheriff's office is investigating the cause of the attacks, and whether or not they are actually correlated. the president of the san francisco deputy sheriff's association, the union that represents deputies, says if you date back a week earlier, march 24th, there have been nine assaults. he says inmates are attacking other inmates, also. >> on april 12th, it was like the worst day in my history of the department. it just felt like the bottom just fell out of the department because of all of the attacks on deputies and the prisoner versus prisoner fights. >> reporter: the president of the union believes the spike in violence is a result of a staffing shortage in the department, and over the weekend he sent a letter on behalf of the union to the sheriff and the city leaders demanding help from

california national guard to fill in those staffing gaps. now, the department says normal jail operations should resume this week, but they have not given a specific timeframe of when. >> very concerning to hear that. ginger conejero saab in san francisco for us this morning, thank you. santa clara county sheriff's deputies got quite a surprise over the weekend, pulling a man over impersonating a police officer. here is video posted from deputies in the west valley decision. there was a silver car with flashing lights. deputies pulled the car over for expired registration. the driver was said to be wearing a security uniform with "police" on it, along with a duty belt and bulletproof vest. he's facing multiple criminal charges, including possession of weapons. san rafael leaders will debate easing camping

restrictions homeless advocates say go too far. the current rules restrict camp sites to 200 feet apart. a legal injunction blocked the city from enforcing it. today council members will debate a modified plan that would force ten foot buffers and prohibit camping within 250 feet of schools. it would also limit the size of the camp sites. happening today, it is tax day, and experts call it a perfect opportunity to get your finances in order. experts say the tips you should follow here, canceling any unused subscriptions such as your streaming service. also, instead of splurging with your tax refund, save it or use it to put a dent in some of that accumulated debt. wealth experts say changing spending habits can eliminate fears many people have around finances. i feel like many people are looking for this big one purchase from their tax return, not realizing that was actually the money that they had worked

for. but if you can do it sensibly, you can start seeing that your money will be working for you instead of you working for your money. >> experts say taking inventory of your finances will allow you to better match your goals in the long run. if you need an extension, you have until the end of the day to file that. it's going to give you six months to file. but you still have to pay today if you owe money. >> trying to kick the can down the road. let's take a live look outside from the east bay this morning in walnut creek. kari has a look at our forecast for this monday morning, and maybe a peek at the rest of the week. >> we are going to see peeks of sunshine to start out this morning. it is mostly cloudy as we look around the bay area. it's 52 in oakland, walnut creek in the upper 40s, and 51 in san francisco. also low to mid-50s in the south bay. this is a look at our highs. we're headed for the upper 60s from the south bay from san francisco to los gatos, fairfield up to 68 degrees, and about the same in santa rosa, while san francisco will be in

the low 60s. we're going to see the sky eventually clearing, and even warmer for tomorrow, with mid to upper 70s for the interior valleys. so we'll talk more about this and the warm-up we'll see over the next few days. mike, you're tracking a crash in oakland. >> we are. we're looking at the east bay and pretty standard, not so bad for highway 4. walnut creek, the crash cleared. but this crash, maybe two is what we're looking at for the nimitz. coming through downtown, we do have slowing southbound. i thought it was a distraction from the crash on the northbound side. at one point there was a crash reported on the southbound side, about 23rd as well. northbound jammed up from the coliseum to the scene where it sounds like only one lane was blocked, but perhaps two, given the details i just read on the chp report. this evening there will be a coliseum event, the athletics are playing. there will be slowing. this morning's slowing is because of that crash north 880 at 23rd. typical build for much of the east bay. in the tri-valley, recovery

south 680, an earlier crash. five vehicles were reported there, so south 680 is still slow. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 6:43 right now. lowering the health risk for expectant black mothers. >> black women account for only 5% of pregnancies in california, but make up 21% of pregnancy related deaths. >> ahead on "today in the bay," we mark black maternal health week. ahead, the new steps being taken to provide more support. the summer olympics are about to clear a major hurdle. details on the traditional ceremony set to start this week and hear from one bay are

we are marking black maternal health week, and doctors and health care workers recently gathered in washington to shine a light on maternal health disparities. the cdc says black women are three times more likely than white women to die from a pregnancy related cause. experts cite several factors, including low quality health care, structural racism, and underlying chronic conditions. advocates say this is also leading to a lack of choice when it comes to where to deliver. >> access to equitable resources, such as midwives, lack of choice in regards to where they want to deliver, whether it's a home birth, hospital birth, or birthing center. and then thinking about just social factors such as housing insecurity, food insecurity. these are all playing a role in how someone is able to show up

in their health care. >> last week president biden officially proclaimed this black maternal health week. the white house says it is working to grow and diversify the workforce to better serve and support expecting mothers from underserved communities. 6:48 this morning. and here we are, just over 100 days from the start of the paris 2024 olympics, just 102 days to go. and tomorrow it means the lighting of the olympic torch. that will happen where it always does, olympia, greece. the first torchbearer will start an 11-day relay, ending in athens. the torch to head to france on a three-mast ship. may 8th will be the start of the french leg of the relay. ahead of wednesday's 100 days out celebration, team usa

are going to calm things down in the weather department. it is all clear as we take a live look outside in walnut creek. a few clouds near the coastline. we are going to see a mix of sun and clouds throughout the bay area. let's talk about how much rain we measured over the weekend with the off and on showers. it was highest in the santa cruz mountains, nearly 2 1/2 inches of rainfall in ben lomond, mount tam had an inch and three quarters. mount diablo, about three-quarters of an inch, and little more than a half an inch of rain in san francisco. looking at where we're headed today, now that the system has gotten out of here, we're going to be in the low 60s near the coastline, mid to upper 60s for the east bay, the south bay, as well as the north bay. but if you've been looking at the seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen, tomorrow temperatures go up significantly with that sunshine. we'll be in the upper 70s from

san jose to san martin, and mid-70s for much of the east bay into the north bay, with some mid-70s midweek. we'll see those temperatures holding for wednesday as well. so high pressure is building. we can see the rain and the storms heading off to the east. as we go throughout the next several days, eventually high pressure is going to build. but with its clockwise wind flow, it will give us an ocean breeze and keep our temperatures moderated, keep them from spiking too much. but we're going to see upper 70s and low 80s for some inland areas like concord, and then a slight cooldown for the weekend. it's still going to be nice and spring-like. overall, a beautiful week ahead. we deserve it after that cold and rainy weekend. and we're going to see those temperatures warming up midweek, and then coming back down to more comfortable and seasonable weather in time for the weekend. mike, we were looking at that oakland camera. what's going on there? >> jammed up. northbound 880, from the coliseum, and building from

hegenberger farther south, because just over the hill, the high street high-rise, we do have another crash. there's a first one at 23rd. so this one at high street is on this side, on the right side. it sounds like the one at 23rd is the left side. it's a jammed up freeway and we are looking at a tough drive. so definitely 580 is a much better route if you're traveling toward the bay bridge and coming off the castro valley y. 580 toward the maze, instead of 880. 680 recovers south toward sunol. >> thank you very much. happening now, police are searching for a gunman who killed two women in the north bay. it happened saturday night on riverside drive near laurel street in napa. one of the victims died at the scene. the other later died at a nearby hospital. so far, no other details are being released, but investigators want anyone with information to call 911. and just ahead, a look at our top stories, including that

6:56 this morning. welcome back. we are moving you forward with a look at our top stories on "today in the bay." >> we do begin with breaking news, a bombshell plan from tesla to conduct massive layoffs. a just-out report this morning from "business insider" indicates the company, as soon as today, may be cutting more than 10% of its workforce. tesla so far is not commenting,

but did recently report poor quarterly earnings results. tesla employs close to 150,000 people around the world. that includes about 20,000 at its fremont factory. it's still not clear if any of the layoffs will impact the fremont plant. two san francisco county jails remain on lockdown after a recent surge in inmate attacks targeting jail workers. visits, services, programs being cut off. the sheriff's office citing an increase on assaults on deputies since march. it's not clear if they are connected. deputies say normal jail operations may resume this week paer a new call from oakland leaders for police staffing after a weekend of dangerous sideshows. this was the scene early yesterday at several intersections across oakland at about 2:00 a.m.
