>> good morning, everyone. i'm carolyn tyler. thanks for joining us this sunday, august 11th. let's start with a quick first look at the whether with our meteorologist lisa argen. >> good morning. here's a look at the fog footprint this morning. we are already getting clearing in the east bay valleys and up the peninsula, but airport delays of 56 minutes. even parts of mt. tam beginning to clear. we are expecting the fog to pull back to the shoreline. in fact, sunshine sooner around most neighborhoods today. we are looking at more sun in the city today. that will bring temperatures up a couple of degrees today. just starts the day of transition. we are looking at more changes, warmer changes for the week ahead. i'll have that for you just
9:02 am
ahead. thanks, carolyn. >> thank you, happening now, the bart labor disputes heads to a rare sunday court session. it's just getting underway in san francisco. a superior court judge is hearing governor jerry brown's request to order a 60-day cooling-off period to avoid a strike. kira klapper is at the courthouse live with this developing story. good morning. >> good morning to you, carolyn. we are still waiting for the superior court judge to come into the courtroom. but inside is legal counsel from bart management, as well as lawyers from the union's representing bart workers. they are here to answer any questions that might be asked of them. but after the judge arrives in the courtroom, the district attorney's office is actually here to represent governor jerry brown, and they will present their case that a 60-day cooling-off period is needed because a bart strike would present not only work concerns but safety concerns for people
9:03 am
in the bay area. we received one of those about a month ago for four and a half days. it is expected that the superior court judge will rule in favor of a 60-day cooling-off period pause according to law the decision is supposed to be made on how a bart strike would impact the area's general welfare. according to our media partner, past junction of 5 for 5 in using the cooling-off strategy. union lawyers are not expected to oppose the move this morning. in fact, they haven't even filed papers opposing the governor's junction request. but don't let that be confusing. the unions period don't want the cooling-off period to happen. they want a deal. they think a cooling-off would take the pressure off coming to an agreement and would further stall contract talks. bart management does support a cooling-off because it would prohibit unions from striking for those 60 dams and would keep the trains running for everyone. the two-month delay would mean
9:04 am
the sides need to come to an agreement by october 11th. an interesting note, though, if, for some reason, the sides still haven't come to an agreement by october 11th, no one would be able to avert a strike at that point and apparently wart's ridership peaks in the fall. so it's safe to say no one wants it to get to that point. after this hearing today we are still waiting, of course, for the judge to arrive and we are waiting to see what that judge will rule. again, it is expected for the judge to rule in favor of the 60-day cooling-off period. after all is said and done this morning, the sides do resume negotiations at 1:00 this afternoon. we will follow this story for you on all formats, so stick with abc7 news. reporting live with the latest in san francisco, abc7 news, kira klapper. >> thank you very much, kira. you can see there we are still waiting for the judge to come into the courtroom. as soon as he makes his decision on the cooling-off period
9:05 am
today -- there is the judge now walking into the court sitting down to begin this hearing. we will bring you his decision on air and online on abc7news.com and on twitter @ abc7 newsbayarea. as kira said, it would be rare for a judge to not go along with the request for a 60-day cooling-off period. it's happened the last five times the governor has requested it. no reason to think this would be any different today. again, let's listen in to see a little bit of what's going on there in the superior courthouse. >> on behalf of san francisco bay area. >> keri ann, gill. >> peter and leonard carter on behalf of the transit union 155
9:06 am
a. good morning, your honor, johnathan siegel. local -- >> good morning. nice to see everybody. this matter is held on sunday, august 11th on a special setting. i want to welcome everybody to your courtroom. i understand the public's interest in this case and i am happy to open the courtroom to coverage by the media in various forms. but i do need it to be quiet. so if i do hear audible sounds from the courtroom, either people clicking on their keyboards or cameras or other audible noises, i will ask they be turned off and i want to apologize now in advance if that happens. also the thanks to my staff and the deputy sheriffs who are helping us out here on sunday morning to get this court open. this is what we are going to do today. we are going to open it up very briefly to any statements,
9:07 am
preliminary statements, that the parties want to make. i would expect that to be quite brief. we are going to recall that this hearing has nothing at all to do with the merits of dispute between the unions and bart and the district and so on. the court's role today is very limited. after a finish with the preliminary statements, if people want to make them, i will provide my observations on the three or four issues that i think are at issue today. i'll express my views as to what i think is agreed upon so that people can correct me if i'm wrong about that. we will have a brief discussion of what sort of order will result in today's sessions and maybe a few minutes on any subsequent proceedings. i haven't seen any opposition papers today, so if there's any oral opposition, it will be a good time to make it now. first let me turn it over to the parties to make any brief preliminary statements they want before i kind of walk us through the three or four issues that i think are before the court and
9:08 am
find out the extent to which there is any contest on those issues. i will start with the petitioner. >> thank you, your honor. and we appreciate the court holding this -- session at our request. we are here today for a 60-day cooling-off period. -- the petition are strikes or lockout is permitted to occur will substantially thrust public transportation order in a dangerous -- well, fair. we believe the court will grant the 60-day cooling-off period. we've been advised that the respondent does not object and late on friday afternoon there was a telephone conference at which we were told that they also do not object to our proposed -- >> again, the opening statements are beginning. you heard judge curtis -- tell people he had three or four issues that he wanted to discuss. he also mentioned how this is a
9:09 am
rare sunday hearing. never before since the civic center courthouse opened in 1988 have they had a session on a sunday. that shows you how crucial this is in trying to avert a bart strike. we will stay on top of this. if something happens during the newscast, we will come back quite frequently to let you know. we are moving on to other developing news. two people are dead following a car crash in san jose. it happened just after midnight in the area of chenoweth and snell avenue. they believe everyone was between 17 and 19 years old. they believe speed was a factor in the accident and are also investigating whether alcohol may have played a role. >> today a san diego girl is
9:10 am
expected to be reunited with her father after she was kidnapped a week ago. hannah anderson was found safe in idaho yesterday after 40-year-old james dimaggio accused of murdering her mother and brother, was killed by an fbi agent. abc news reporter clayton sandal has the details. >> this more than hannah anderson's family is overjoyed. >> i'm so glad she's safe! that she's okay! >> hannah's rescue went down saturday afternoon in this remote idaho wilderness when an airplane spots the 16-year-old and her captor at a makeshift campsite at a lake. two hours later ground teams close n there's a confronttation. police open fire. >> james lee dimaggio was shot and killed by an fbi tactical agent assigned to the unit. hannah was successfully rescued and appears to be in pretty good
9:11 am
shape. >> dimaggio is the man who they say not only kidnapped hannah, but also killed her mother and 8-year-old brother last week, their bodies discovered in his burning house. dimaggio and hannah were finally spotted wednesday in idaho, triggering a massive search by 200 federally-armed agents and police. now the family is struggling to understand how a man who once seemed so normal could be accused of such horror. >> everybody is pretty much shocked by his behavior. it's definitely something that snapped. >> they said hannah was not physically injured but she was taken to a hospital to get checked out. her father is heading from here in san diego to idaho. they are expected to be reunited later today. abc news, san diego. meteorologist lisa argen here now with a preview of the accuweather forecast. >> where we have the fog, it's dense in spots. and also kind of on securing the view here from the east bay hills camera. this is vollmer peak.
9:12 am
but it is sunny in the east bay valleys already. we will talk about how warm it is going to get and how soon we will see the sunshine when we return. >> thank you, lisa. back now live now to superior courthouse in san francisco where a judge is hearing the governor's request for both sides in the bart labor dispute to cool it for 60 days. we will be back.
9:15 am
>> welcome back, everyone. let's go back to the superior courthouse in san francisco where the judge is listening to arguments on both sides about jerry brown's, governor brown's request to have a 60-day cooling-off period in the bart situation. let's listen in. >> the attorney general conceivably may dismiss the case after october 10th. in that case it's worth the case management conference would be taken off the calendar. but at least we can check in with each other and see what folks want to do. is there any other business that any of the parties have? >> your honor, you had mentioned -- order. >> yeah. >> i believe that all of the response -- the ordered to. is it possible to respond by
9:16 am
e-mail? >> does anybody object to an e-mail service of the order when it is signed? >> no. >> apparently not. >> thank you. >> as soon as i get the draft from the attorney general, which will be copied to all parties, it should take about five minutes or so to sign it and to get it out and i will provide it to the parties. all right. thank you very much. >> thank you, your honor. >> well, it sounds as though the hearing has ended and that the judge has issued this 60-day, two-month cooling-off period. so a bart strike has been averted for now after that judge this morning approved the emergency request for an injunction by governor brown calling for a 60-day cooling-off period in contract talks. the governor had asked for this cooling-off period in an effort to keep the trains running if the unions and bart management were unable to reach a deal this weekend. by the way, both sides in that labor dispute are expected to
9:17 am
resume negotiations this afternoon at 1:00. so apparently they are going to try to keep on talking, but even if they don't reach agreement, now the superior court judge has said there will be no walk-out for the next 60 days. now after that cooling-off period, workers could go back on strike if they would choose, and at that point not even the governor would be able to avoid a strike. but he had asked for this hearing, saying that the public would be irreparablely harmed if there was a bart strike. the area was crippled the last time they had walked out so now at least some wreathing room for the next two months. other news this morning, state department officials will reopen several embassies and consulates. 18 of the 19 missions closed during last week's terror threat and will now reopen.

9:31 am
a 60-day cooling-off period in contract talks. if you were watching earlier in this newscast, you heard the judge make that announcement live on our air. governor brown had requested the cooling-off period in an effort to keep trains running if a contract deal isn't reached this weekend. while both sides at the bargaining table have expressed frustration and fatigue over negotiations, both say they are eager to get a deal in place this weekend. >> i don't think anybody wants to come back here. we aren't nuts. do you want to come back here in 55 days, 50 days? >> we are ready to start bargaining enough. >> the judge says as soon as attorneys get their final paperwork in to him, he will sign the order within five minutes. it's a done deal. there's only quick paperwork holding things up at this moment. now that a cool huff period is in place, bart workers will not be allowed to walk off the job.

groundbreaking, you might expect to find tom hanks from the da vinci code on the scene. instead it's a real life team of researchers on the edge of finally answering just who is that woman with the cryptic smile in lee da vin's -- in nard dough da vinci's masterpiece. maybe it's even da vinci himself dressed as a woman. but some suspect eats lisa who posed for da vinci, but nen has been able to prove she's the one in the painting. the answer may lie in this ancient underground crypt in florence. they opened the crypt for the first time in over 300 years and climbed inside where they will take dna samples from the remains of her relatives. >> we were very lucky because
9:36 am
there was a good amount of bone remains. >> if the dna here is related to another set of bones believed to be her herself, then her remains are finally confirmed and they can use x-rays and digital facial reconstruction technology, similar to what is used in a crime scene, to figure out what she looked like. >> if everything goes as it should, we can reconstruct her face from her skull. >> then the real test to see if her face is anything like the mona lisa we all know. the researchers and the technology have their critics, but all the testing will take some time. for now that age-old mystery remains a mystery. abc news, london. tomorrow crews in san mateo no county will get to work fixes many of the county's tsunami warning sirens. last week they discovered five out of eight sirens did not work. they are supposed to provide warnings along 30 files of
