f0 this is kpix 5 news on kbcw. good morning. it is 8:30 on sunday, december 22, believe it or not. we've got a lot to talk about, even a fight over shoes. >> and of course, the last regularly scheduled game at candlestick park is going on tomorrow. we're going to be airing that over on kpix 5. talking about major league sports stadiums in the bay area in general, the a's, raiders, warriors, a lot of movement when it comes to that. we're going to talk a little bit about the risk to taxpayers and what do cities get out of these deals. >> and what they wind up paying. the alameda supervisor is coming in for that discussion. also in san francisco, a little

tech trouble. we've seen attacks recently, some bad blood between some of the citizenry and the workers in the bay area. we're going to talk a little bit jerry brown also. >> there's been a lot of talk about jerry brown, possibly another run for president. >> i can't believe it. >> you can. >> we'll hear from our political insiders, coming up in a few minutes. let's take a check on our weather forecast first this morning. a live look at san francisco. the beautiful bay bridge. a little bit of patchy fog, but overall, pretty clear around the bay and inland as well. temperatures right now in the upper 30's to the mid-40's. we're going to see things warming up throughout the day, once that fog burns up. it's going to be very similar to what we saw yesterday weather-wise. continued mild temperatures, dry through christmas and

beyond. first, here's brian with the news headlines. more fallout from the card hacking that hit target stores. jpmorgan chase is limiting the use of debit cards for customers. debit withdrawals for potential victims of the breach in the u.s. are temporarily limited to $100 a day. purchases are limited to $300 a day. customers whose debit cards are at risk won't be able to access cash at atm's if they're traveling internationally. also, affected cards are being reissued. religious leaders from the east bay are speaking up regarding the condition of the 13-year-old on life support at children's hospital in oakland following complications for a tonsillectomy. the family wants an evaluation from an independent neurologist before disconnecting her from a ventilator. the hospital responded with an

open letter, saying, quote, as medical professionals, it is our responsibility to ensure that we do not create hope where there is none when one's brain ceases to function. it never restarts. today's news conference takes place at the hospital at 3:00. extra security on hand at the stick for the swan song of the stadium tomorrow night. it's the last time fans will file into the stadium to cheer on the 49ers. they are taking on the atlanta falcons, by the way. police chief greg suhr says 50% more officers patrolling the stick than usual. and he added forget about it if you think you're taking off with a memento. anyone stealing a piece of the stadium will be promptly arrested. that's a look at your top stories. now back to anne and phil. >> bart's board union members have yet to vote on the deal, but it looks like a contract compromise has finally been struck. >> and it looks like we will avoid another bart struck in the near future, at least for

the next few years. that controversial family medical leave issue in the ongoing dispute has finally been resolved. you may remember, bart and its two largest unions had a tentative deal in october after months of negotiations. >> and then bart management said that a provision granting six weeks of paid family leave never should have been in the contract. the bart board refused to approve the final contract as long as that clause was in it, and that reignited the whole negotiation process once again. >> so going forward, under the new agreement, looking at changes in bereavement leave. workers will get paid time off to grieve the death of a grandchild or stepparent of a spouse or domestic partner. it also updates employee break rooms and allows them more flexibility in how they pay for family medical leave. all these changes can be made within bart's existing budget. here's what one union rep said. >> we have a tentative

agreement that we're gonna take to our members for a vote, on the issues that were discussed. >> so you think there will be no strikes? >> we never mentioned the word strike. that word came from the district. it's one of the options that we have. we have always tried to get a resolution since april 1. >> it is one of the options that they have, but there is a move to change that. >> that's right. the new bart board president has introduced the idea of a resolution in the bay area to be sent to sacramento if voters approve it that would prevent bart workers from striking, much the way that muni drivers are presented from striking in san francisco. >> a lot of people would like to see that happen. it's interesting also that all of a sudden a deal was struck right after he made that proposal. i think there was some thought pattern that, if the people in the bay area are going to be voting on this, it's probably best not to anger than any more with further drama. >> it also comes on the heels of a third union approving their contract, which sort of paved the way, i think, for the

union officials to say we can go with this. in other news, we now have a clearer picture as to when the nsa started tapping internet and phone records for americans. the program started shortly after the september 11 attacks. at the time, president bush authorized the spying. it was to track down terrorists. but this week, a federal judge said that the program is likely unconstitutional, unquote. >> it is the first ruling since edward snowden leaked details of the controversial program. >> reporter: the government doesn't need to listen to your phone conversation to violate your privacy. treasure tim says the eff has made the argument for years and now a federal judge agrees. >> if it's collecting all other information around that phone call -- who calls you, who you call, when you call them, for how long and from where -- the government can paint a detailed picture about your lives that even your closest friends and family don't know. >> reporter: the judge said the

nsa must stop collecting phone records of two men two challenged the surveillance program. but he's holding off enforcement and awaiting the government's appeal. the reporter who broke the edward snowden story says the court decision vindicates the willful blower. >> i think it's not only the right, but the duty of an american situation to come forward, at great risk to himself, and inform his fellow citizens about what his government is doing in the dark that is illegal. >> reporter: lawyers are also challenging the nsa program. they're studying the judge's 6 8-page rule. >> it is a great harbinger for things to come. >> reporter: the obama administration defends the surveillance program as a critical tool on the war on terror. but the judge notes that the government never gave any evidence that it actually stopped an imminent terror attack. >> spokesperson for the security division says the nsa program is constitutional as previous judges have also found. coming up, storms across

the country are picking up speed ahead of the holidays. some have claimed lives. plus, the tweet a lot of people are talking about that cost a big-time pr executive her job. we'll be right back. ,,,, ,,,, a subaru...

...are the hands that do good things for the whole community: the environment, seniors, kids, and animals. that's why we created the share the love event. by the end of this year, the total donated by subaru could reach 35 million dollars. you get a great deal on a new subaru. we'll donate 250 dollars to a choice of charities that benefit your community. it feels good to be a helping hand.

year-old claire davis this morning. good morning. it's a somber sunday in denver. friends and family remembering 17-year-old claire davis. the teen was shot at arapahoe high school back on december 13. she died yesterday. authorities say she was a random target shot by karl pierson before he killed himself. the davis family says they are remembering her grace, laughter and life. be careful what you tweet. a pr executive came out this morning to apologize for a racist tweet that got her fired. justin sacco sent a twitter

message that said, quote, going to africa, hope i don't get aids. just kidding. i'm white. who says that? onlien about 500 people received that original tweet but it went viral around the world. and her employer parted ways with her. she apologized, saying, i am ashamed. protesters continue to target tech workers in the bay area. that was the most recent one back on friday. demonstrators surrounded a bus here and then at another site, protesters knocked out a window of a google bus in west oakland. they are angry about the perceived arrogance of the tech industry and sky-rocketing rent. >> is it reasonable or effective for people to target tech workers, and what is the recent history between the tech industry and politicians, both locally and nationally?

we're joined by political consultant eric jay. you have been at the forefront of these boom busts as far as politics go, from the dot-com to this. what is it with the tech industry and politicians? >> well, phil, you know, it's money. it's power. it's access. and the tech industry has all of those things. and the tech industry also is now becoming the leading industry in san francisco and in this region. so the politicians need to deal with the tech industry, and they need their money. >> and meanwhile, they become the tech target. because, like the dot-coms who came later, they are the symbol of the 1% now. >> sure, they are. i think we also should remember that four years ago every politician wanted to attract high-wage tech employment. so it's not like this wasn't something that was very popular when the economy was down. but the economy is up. so we're essentially having to deal with the consequence of

success and the consequence of hypersuccess. and people are being displaced and rents are going up. so it's not like it's not a real problem. but i think we should remember, this is a problem we created, all of us. >> it was a problem that we wanted, especially when the recession hit. >> we wanted the benefits, for sure. >> usually in these cases, when we have a target like this, it is is engine in which a train of other issues sort of gets hitched on to. it is the locomotive that drives a political agenda. it's the most visible. from your time, looking around the bay area, what are some of the other sort of issues that are being hooked on to this by the activists? >> remember, politicians are in the business of finding issues that voters respond to. so you see politicians and former politicians and politicians looking for a comeback, say, like art agnos, who is now starting to talk about tech and displacement from tech. these are folks looking for an

issue, and they found one, or one found them, because it is an issue. we did see the electoral consequences of this. last november in san francisco, when a condominium project that would have housed people and frankly probably prevented some people from being displaced -- >> was voted down. >> was voted down. >> because of the idea of luxuries on the waterfront. do you think this could affect something like, say, the waterfront arena? >> sure, it could. i think it's very important for the project sponsors there to understand the current they're now operating in. and it's not just tech, by the way. remember, in san francisco, it's growth, the consequence of growth. and san franciscans like their city. they like their city the way it is now and they don't necessarily want to change it that much or that fast. so anytime it starts to change a little too fast, you start to see a backlash. this is not the first time we've seen this. >> and it's going to be very

interesting to see, because now it's rippling out to the entire bay area and oakland as well. thank you for joining us this morning. the last time we had this discussion, it was about dot- com. and what happened there? it went bust. we'll see how this one goes. >> thank you, phil. in developing news this morning, they're picking up the pieces in parts of the southwest united states after deadly tornadoes killed two people. one man died when his mobile home overturned in mississippi. fierce winds ripped roofs right off barns. tens of thousands still without electricity this morning. and over in arkansas, five people were hurt by tornadoes, and two dozen homes were damaged. >> let's take a closer look at our weather forecast. it is a nice morning in the bay area. a lot of folks headed out of town. a live look at sfo. the weather shouldn't be impeding flights this morning. looking pretty good. current conditions, 30's, 40's, warming up slowly through the bay area. the sun is shining. we're gonna make it into the lower to mid-60's all around

the bay area. 61 in san francisco, and you can see similar weather patterns -- well, as far as the eye can see. way past christmas. no rain in the forecast to speak of. tomorrow, of course, the last regularly scheduled game at candlestick park. the atlanta falcons versus the 49ers. it's going to be a nice night for football. 57 degrees. skies should be clear. >> and the world is going to be watching. this is the swan song, right? >> that's right. hopefully the lights will stay on. >> we asked them about that yesterday. they said, no problem, got it taken care of. >> but they are saying good-bye to the stick, right? >> farewell, good-bye. it's over. >> the day it opened, richard nixon called it the finest park in america. >> but before the 49ers last regular season game at candlestick park, our own ken bastida, who is no stranger to the park, got one last look behind the scenes. take it away, ken.

>> reporter: if you're trying to wrap your head around the 49ers without candlestick park, imagine if you worked here, every day for the past 34 years. >> i come in here in the morning and just open up. i'm the first person here. and it's just -- like i say, it's part of my life that is going to be missing. >> reporter: bob has been candlestick park's locker room manager since joe montana was a rookie. back then, traded rooms were a couple of tables and drawer handles were held together with the same tape used on the athletes. and at 52 years old, candlestick park is showing its age. wash those rusting seats and you get a small waterfall beneath them. but, as the world saw, this place is built like a fortress. >> it was the first all- concrete stadium ever made and the last. this is all concrete.

you can't build a place like this now. >> reporter: and in case you've forgotten, it wasn't built for football. >> it was built for baseball. let's be honest. >> i had a couple of ramps built. we brought all the trunks into the shower. half will be an equipment room, half a shower. >> reporter: of course, the new digs will boast modern amenities and luxuries. what does candlestick park have that the new stadium will not have? >> i would imagine -- it's not that it won't have it. it's just gonna take time. and that would be character. >> looking, looking, throwing in the end zone! caught it! >> a number of memories, but it has a certain character. >> reporter: memories and character. that will live on. just like the catch. >> it's a madhouse at candlestick! >> reporter: ken bastida, kpix

5. >> the catch still lives on. all right. the countdown is still on. you can watch the game right here, tomorrow night, followed by the fifth quarter and bye- bye baby. that's our special look back at the stick. >> and by the way, stay tuned, because in a little while, we're going to sit down with nate miley, the alameda county board of supervisors. remember, the raiders, we used to talk about them maybe moving out of oakland. what about the warriors coming to san francisco? the a's? it never stops. >> teams don't stay put anymore in seems to be moving left and right. but also, the big development deals and the billions of dollars they can cost. we'll take a look at that, coming up. it's all about the money. still ahead, target says no to selling her album and beyonce is getting back in a big way. we'll be right back.

her christmas spirit in walt last night and not target. she's just a regular ole superstar beyonce showed her christmas spirit in walmart this weekend. and not target. she's acting like a regular ol' shopper, getting her last- minute gifts, until she suddenly announced that all 750 shoppers in the store got a $50 gift card. perhaps she decided to take her business to walmart after target banned her new album. target says basically when an artist releases an album

digitally first, which she did last week, it impacts store sales and sales projections. the rumor mill churning about a possible presidential run by jerry brown. >> what do you know? maybe the fourth time is a charm. >> that '92 run was against clinton and it could be against a clinton again today. our political insider, from the san francisco chronicle, weighed in on whether it's a good idea or a bad idea. but also, we'll be giving you insight into how the whole story got started. take a listen. >> when you deal with jerry brown, you see him in a reception or cocktail party or some place. just watch out for what questions he asks you, because when he asks you the questions, he's really delivering the message of what he's reflecting on. so some months ago, when i first uttered words about jerry, he said to me, what do you think? it's not like i remember exactly where we were.

he said, oh, what do you think about this presidential thing? what do you think if i was interested again? and we joked about it. he wasn't joking. he was literally sending out an item. and i used it as an item. >> i talked to someone the other day, who was in the room with one of these conversations. he's having a series of these conversations around the state with people. i said, what did you say to him? he said, no. didn't know if he was joking or not. >> no, he was not joking. >> it's a terrible idea. terrible idea. >> no, it is not. why do you say that? >> first of all, as a californian, the voters should be concerned about this. do you want your governor, halfway through his term, spinning around the country, going to iowa every weekend? >> he is at the stage where all of the electronic communications systems will be mastered by a jerry brown candidacy and you will have what will be a virtual candidate.

it's unconventional to think that you ought to be campaigning like it's the 1934 little red school house. >> i think they're pushing it because jerry brown is talking about it. and i don't know if maybe his backup plan -- if it's d here. but there are other people out there who would be much more viable, much more relevant. most of the country, we know jerry brown. most of the country doesn't. >> jerry brown is different. the public would like to see hillary challenged, because to get hillary challenged, it will cause her to become efficient and effect enough to be christie inen finals. >> i get this whole spring training thing. she can get that from somebody else. he would be her worst nightmare, because jerry brown comes out throwing knuckleballs. and she wasn't want that. she wants fastballs in spring training. where is it going to come from, fromming the right? is it going to be libertarian,

conservative jerry brown? it's going to be paddle left, paddle right. >> i disagree. i think hillary clinton needs to be constantly challenged so she cries when necessary. and jerry could create that opportunity, and it will make her a much better candidate. >> all right. so he's lost several times. he's getting up there in age, upper 70's. is it realistic? >> we're sort of in the semi- silly season. nobody likes an uncontested fight. and the media certainly doesn't like it. there's also the question, if hillary clinton doesn't run, it's gonna be wide open. so conjecture is start. >> i think there will be a few other people that might take higher spots in the roster. but we shall see. and it's a silly season. we're talking politics. >> yeah. is it ever not? coming up just in time for christmas, a big bank is

slapping millions of shoppers with a spending limit at target. >> we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

this is kpix 5 news on kbcw. welcome back to kpix 5 this morning. the time is 8:59. good morning. i'm phil matier. >> and i'm anne makovec. we have a lot to talk about in the next half hour. you might have heard, bart has finally struck a deal.

so we are going to be bart strike-free for at least the next few years. then we're talking about the possibility of a no-strike clause in the future. this could come to a vote throughout the bay area. and then it could move to the legislature. >> that's right. and other big news this week, of course, is that candlestick park is coming to its end as the major home of the san francisco 49ers. 49ers are moving. the raiders may be moving. the oakland a's want to move. what is going on with bay area sports teams and the big money behind these moves? we're going to sit down with the alameda county supervisor and talk about why it's more than just a sport anymore. and the olympics coming up. bryant boitano coming out as gay and being appointed to the delegation from the u.s. we'll go in-depth with what it means. starting out this morning with

your top stories. jpmorgan chase is limiting the use of debit cards for people who shopped at target during that security breach we've been hearing so much about. chase customers who shopped at target between november 27 and december 15 now have debit card daily limits of $300 on purchases and $100 for cash withdrawals. some shoppers we talked to decided, just forget about the card, and they went back to the good old-fashioned cash. >> i used cash today specifically because i heard about this, so -- and i needed to buy something, so i didn't want to risk using my regard. >> target says computer hacking thieves stole payment card data from as many as 40 million card shoppers. the ceo says there's been no indication that pin numbers have been compromised but he's urging people to watch for any suspicious charges. tomorrow is the deadline to sign up if you want health care coverage by the new year. but there are some last-minute changes coming from the white house. president obama says some

people who have had policies cancelled can qualify for hardship exemption. that means if you don't buy coverage, they don't pay a fine, or they can get the bare bones catastrophic policy. people can also qualify for the exemption if coverage is too expensive. developing this morning across the country, deadly storms are taking their toll across mississippi and arkansas. two people were killed yesterday. one man died when his mobile home was overturned. fierce winds tore roofs off of barns. and in arkansas, five people were injured by tornadoes. two dozen homes are damaged. more like a winter wonderland out in the east coast. a large storm is moving to the east. chicago got a thick blanket of snow, ice, freezing rain. up in new york, the governor there declared an ice storm emergency.

all right. for more on our weather here at home, here's meteorologist in training -- >> a different picture from what we just saw. that's for sure. a live look outside. it's alameda in the foreground, san francisco in the back. we are going to be seeing sunshine throughout the day. 52 in pacifica already, otherwise 40's throughout the bay area. and we will be warming to have a day that's gonna end up very similar to what we saw yesterday. clear start, patchy fog, afternoon sunshine, continued mild temperatures throughout the rest of the week and dry through christmas. we'll take a look at your seven- day forecast, coming up in a few minutes. those troublesome bolts that broke on the eastern fan of the bay bridge have been permanently fixed. caltrans said it has wrapped up work and that all of the steel is now in place. all in all, they took care of 32 boltings that snapped when they were tightened. they say the project cost $25 million. but it still needs to finish

touch-ups and aesthetic work like paint but the major repair is done. >> what the final fix does is hold down the base of these seismic devices and a combination of steel saddles and tendons provides the exact same clamping that those bolts were supposed to provide. >> caltrans is still testing other bolts on the bridge to make sure there are no problems there as well. we're all driving across this bridge like it's nothing. but there was a point we were wondering if it was going to be even safe to drive on it. >> they are going to be testing the other bolts to make sure they're okay. if they show problems with wear, they're going to be replaced. but down the line, down the line. i think caltrans is trying to stagger this, both for the engineering and the public relations, because we paid, what, $6.4 billion for that bridge? most expensive in the world.

our other big story, bart. following the last strike, there's been a lot of talk about creating a law that would broke bart unions from striking. >> in exchange for giving up the right to strike, it would be given the authority to go to a fact-finding and some sort of binding arbitration. >> now, the unions usually don't like "binding" arbitration. keller dropped that bomb. >> we sat down with willie brown. they brought up a good point. number 1, strikes -- just because you don't strike doesn't mean you can't inconvenience riders. but now that that's on the table, we asked them if they thought the unions have learned anything from the idea of walking out twice. >> i don't know if they've learned the lesson yet. i think they're still -- there is still a lot of anger out

there against unions, against their benefits, against the inconvenience that that bart strike caused. you still hear people talking about it, every time there's a bart delay. the resentment grows. >> but you're dealing with an organization of union employees that have not changed from a tactical standpoint for years and years. they've been spectacularly successful at confronting the public. >> this strike ban they're talking about, it's going to be an advisory measure. that's not gonna go anywhere. it will be buried. >> maybe. maybe not. you don't know what happens when things really become complicated. >> but you talked to the unions privately and they say, we will take binding arbitration. that is something we can deal with. >> but that's probably the way

it really ultimately should have been to begin with, because san francisco, for an example, has binding arbitration in at least three categories. and it works extremely well. it works well for -- of course, invariably, by the way, the politicians still are favorably disposed to do something on behalf of people who ring doorbells. >> because the cash coming in from the unions, because there's a ton of money coming in. >> don't attack politicians just on the basis they're receiving cash. >> but they are providing resources, as you would say -- >> absolutely. >> -- resources to politicians and a lot of resources and a lot of personnel. they are the people doing the door knocking, campaigning for people, providing support for these super majorities of democrats in the legislature. and our governor. >> and you understand that the public doesn't really participate on an ongoing basis

in the political process. only organized groups, whether they be union members or tea party. >> and the public should not be fooled that a ban on strikes -- a ban on strikes does not mean a ban on work stoppages. there can be work stoppages. >> as a matter of fact, work stoppages are sometimes more devastating. there can be gain in the system that's equally effective at making things not be as you would want them to be. and believe me, the politicians take the criticism for disruptive service that doesn't have the union, protecting them by way of a strike. >> no, they don't. and work stoppages can be just as effective as a strike. and if things continue to be on a downward spiral between bart and its unions, we could see trouble. >> i think the timing on this agreement was very interesting. 2:45 in the morning, they decide they have come up with an agreement on the contract talks. that came just on the heels of that announcement by keller that he's talking about

bringing this to voters. i think there was definitely a sense on the side of both parties that, let's go ahead and get this wrapped up, before voters, who might be deciding the fate of strikes in the future, have a chance to get any more upset about what's going on. >> and let's get it wrapped up before the christmas season so we can get those retroactive paycheck before the end of the year. with any luck, there's not a typo in this new deal. still to come, how a bay area olympic skater is now part of a bigger message on diversity that's spinning around the globe. and this is what happens when christmas shopping goes wrong. you won't believe what they're fighting over. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,

welcome back. it is 9:12 on a lovely morning around the bay area. a live look from a roof cam at the bay bridge. and our football forecast. tomorrow, the final regularly scheduled game at candlestick park between the atlanta falcons and the 49ers. it's going to be clear, 57 degrees, at kickoff. you can also just watch the

game live on kpix 5 tomorrow night. >> and what people will do for a pair of shoes! take a look at this fight, apparently over the newest version of air jordans. by the time police arrived, the suspect and victims were long gone. officers say they cannot confirm the details of this video circulating on the internet. the title is "what people do for jordans," and as you see, shows several people getting involved in a big fight. a jewelry store with an $85,000 bracelet, after a clerk handed it to him, the man ran off with it. when the clerk unlocked the case and showed it to him, he grabbed it and ran off. now customers are required to show id before shown expensive

items. people all over the world are having their computer files taken hostage. and the only way out is to pay an untraceable ransom. it starts with a simple but deceptive link to track a holiday package. you click it and then suddenly the files in the computer are encrypted and the countdown clock appears. there are thousands of victims and nobody has been caught. this is a criminal operation. i mean, they're holding your files and folders ransom essentially. we call this ransomware, that's that's exactly what it is. >> the only way to pay is through the virtual online currency bit coin. and those payments are encrypted so there's no way to trace them. all right. back here, all eyes are going to be on candlestick park tomorrow as the final 49er game take place. joining me now is nate miley, alameda county board of

supervisors, to talk about sports and the future of stadium locations. for a while there, there was talk about the raiders going over to santa clara with the 49ers. have you heard anything new on that? >> no. we're still working with the raiders to keep them in oakland. >> when we hear words like that, or the a's to keep them in oakland, or the warriors, seems like we're talking about a lot more than just sports teams. these are now multimillion dollar development deals as well. >> we're talking billions of dollars to build a stadium and the associated amenities, restaurants, hotels, housing. and we do that, or the developers and the teams interested in that, because the taxpayers are not interested in putting in public resources to finance these billion-dollar deals. >> in part because of the troubles we had with the raiders and the a's in the east bay, where we're still paying that one off? >> exactly. yeah. we still have about $100

million. >> but it's fascinating. what are the sports owners interested in? are they interested in the stadiums or more interested in the development deal? sometimes i can't tell which one. >> i can't either, but i think they're interested in winning and making money. >> oh, those are two things they all seem to have in common. currently, we have the warriors talking about moving over to san francisco for a waterfront arena, and they want to have that done by 2017. but it is a long process to get something like that done. are you in talks with them also, to stay in oakland? >> yes. we're definitely trying to keep them. you never how things are going to play out. we'll probably start meeting with them shortly, because we don't anticipate they'll be in that arena by 2017. i think they probably won't be in the arena until after 2020. so we're working with them on an extension of their lease as well. >> you still don't want them to go? >> we want to retain all of our sports teams. >> as somebody who is seeing moves of your teams, two of them talking about leaving,

what are you guys going -- are you guys going to try to block the warriors arena from being built? >> i'm trying to develop a relationship with the owners. it's a business deal. it's their teams; they can take them where they want. i've seen where we've tried to block and haven't achieved success, so i'd rather work with them and see if we can come up with the necessary incentives. >> but those incentives sometimes backfire. for example, the raiders would like a new stadium but the owners don't have the money for it. what do we do in a situation like that? >> we're still looking to see how we can close like a $3 million gap and not necessarily put in a lot of public resources. the county and city can look at land, infrastructure, look at even having the debt being taken care of. but the point is we don't want to have to put in any hard cash. then how do we come up with the additional money?

>> i love the hard cash thing. then we have the economic projections that show how many billions of dollars it's going to bring the area and how everybody is going to be happy. i've got to ask you about the a's. they were talking about -- trying so hard to move them to san jose. that hasn't panned out, in part because the giants don't want them there. now i understand that mr. wolfe is back, talking about building a ball game at the same site where he is now? >> yes. we're working on a longer-term lease extension and he informed me that he's interested in the new site in terms of maybe a new stadium. >> amazing. this whole stadium team thing is starting to look like the old three card monte shell game. >> it's definitely complex for the public entities, the cities, the counties. but recognizing that we've got to protect the public resources

and we need to try to see how we can secure all three times with three separate facilities that they feel are state of the art. >> and let's not forget, san francisco, santa clara and everybody else in the mix as well. i don't know who is on first or who is on second. but i'm glad to see you're covering the plate. nate miley, alameda county board of supervisors. keep an eye on him. back to you guys. >> thanks, phil. we're going to take a quick look at the weather. we're going to go out to sfo. if those planes are headed east, there might be trouble with bad weather. but here, above normal. 41, concord. san francisco at 46. santa rosa at 42. nice day ahead, a lot like yesterday. 61, fairfield, 64 redwood city. the seven-day forecast, how easy is this job? >> beautiful all the way through. more clouds as we go along, but a dry christmas week for sure.

a famous bay area figure skater told everyone this week that he is gay and it's a big deal because of where he's going. >> brian boitano, of the bay area, is going to the olympics in sochi, russia and bringing a spotlight to the anti-gay laws in russia. >> reporter: kids can't get enough of the ice skating. but the sport itself is taking on a bigger meaning in the discussion on discrimination. >> it's not necessarily the olympics so much as a forum for social statements. >> reporter: uc berkeley chair woman janet napolitano will lead the delegation. and now gold medal figure skater brian boitano, who lives in the bay area. it's being seen as a way to denounce russia's anti-gay laws. >> one of the things i'm looking forward to is maybe some gay and lesbian athletes bringing home the gold or silver or bronze, which i think

would go a long way in rejecting the kind of attitudes that we're seeing. >> reporter: brian boitano has always kept his private life private. he is currently in italy, but sent out a statement that he is gay. he said, quote, first and foremost, i am an american athlete and proud to live in a country that encourages the diversity, openness and tolerance. i hope we can remain focused on the olympic spirit which celebrates the achievement of sports. russia laws have raised questions about what could happen there. president putin promises gay athletes will not face discrimination in sochi. >> it will be interesting. >> it will be. not the first time we've been making statements. some are saying that president obama must send another message to putin. how about edward snowden? he's sitting over there.

not happy about that either. so the relations with -- or bad relations with russia go beyond just this. >> for sure. when you have the world as your stage, at that point, so much attention on the olympics, it's not a bad time to have your point heard. >> point taken sports is next. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
