good morning, everyone. it's 8:00 a.m. on saturday. let's start with a quick look at the weather. here's lisa argen. >> check out this shot. it is nice and clear, but we do have patchy fog at the coast where visibility reduced to 2 miles. half moon bay, that's going to change, though. livermore is at 47, it's 41 in

napa, and the view from san jose this morning, nice and clear with 50 degrees there, 46 in los gatos. we were in the 70s yesterday, but upper 70s today from our east bay valleys, even, perhaps, around gilroy, morgan hill, couple of temperatures approaching 80 degrees. and these 60s will be more like upper 60s along the coast with sunny skies and a very weak onshore flow. i'll explain in further detail and have a look at the first day of spring in a couple of minutes. developing news on the malaysian airlines jet. initially, there was word that the plane had been in the air for four hours, but now officials say the plane may have been airborne for eight hours. >> reporter: it's now clear, say investigators, communication gears switched off, changing direction of flight 370 appear to all be done on purpose by someone at the controls.

>> these movement are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane. >> reporter: this is the latest. at 12:41 departure to beijing. but just past 26 minutes in, a data signaling system is shut off. then 40 minutes in at 1:21 in the morning, the 777's location transmitter also shut off. and now confirmed, the plane does turn around heading back across malaysia and is last seen on radar at 2:15 a.m. but this morning, we know because the jet was signaling a satellite each hour, it turned again, either north or south and flew for another six hours at least. 3,600 miles. a source and experts tell abc news, the southern route is the most likely uncovered by radar, putting the malaysian jet somewhere off australia. why and who did this? one unnamed malaysian official

is quoted as saying it's inconclusive, it's a hijacking. >> despite knee-jerk reports that the plane was hijacked, i wish to be very clear. we are still investigating all possibilities as to what caused flight 370 to deviate from its original flight path. >> and that includes the possibility that one or both of the pilots went rogue turning off that communication gear and turning around. we only know how far this plane flew because of the satellite pings. and we and the world's pilots only learned a couple of days ago that that system cannot be shut off by a pilot. so the search of the south china sea has been called off. a new search will undoubtedly begin off australia. but even though we know when the jet last pinged the satellite, it could have flown on for another hour. abc news, washington.

a 27-year-old u.s. sea graduate may be among those missing. confirmed the description published in a chinese newspaper is a match. the birth date found on the flight manifest is also a match. joy was working for shell oil in beijing. our reporting continues right now on twitter at abc7newsbayarea. investigators trying to figure out what happened after a woman found dead inside her house. her daughter discovered the body around 4:00 yesterday afternoon at the home on stanton avenue. >> well, this is very unusual. >> reporter: the neighbors agree. there was shock when they saw a teenage girl leaving her castro valley home in tears. she had just found her mother's body in the house around 4:00 p.m. >> we are sure this is a homicide. we're investigating it as such. >> i'm shocked and scared at the same time. >> reporter: she and her husband

against the company and the provider of the bulls. >> california law makes it illegal to force a bull to fight with a human being. it also makes it illegal to cause unjustifiable suffering to an animal. and finally, it makes it unlawful to host a bloodless bullfight or similar event. >> we reached out but didn't get a response. its website states we don't kill the bulls in a bullfight, nor do we abuse them in any way. we don't hit them, shock them or deprive them of food, water, light or sleep. but the attorney says the cruelty is clear. >> the potential for them to get entangled with other bulls or runners fall and break a leg or gore one another. >> says runners punched the bulls at the florida event and in texas, the bulls tried to get away from the runners only to be la lassoed into compliance. >> i don't think it's necessarily cruel just because

thursday. new this morning, president obama's move to make more workers eligible for overtime pay is being hailed by democrats as a potent midterm election issue. the president signed a presidential memorandum thursday directing the labor department to devise new overtime rules that will likely affect millions of americans. in his weekly address, the president says the move was to ensure workers are paid a fair wage. >> we've got to build an economy that works for everybody, not just for the fortunate few. we know from our history that our economy grows best from the middle out. when growth is more widely shared. so we've got to restore opportunity for all. the idea that with hard work and responsibility, you can get ahead. >> critics call the move an example of presidential overreach. the chp has opened an administrative investigation into how caltrans handled complaints about the well being on the new bay bridge. last year, engineers reported finding hundreds of cracked welds on the bridge. and one says his company lost a

contract after launching a complaint. the agency that oversees caltrans says it asked chp to look into if it was anything more than a disagreement. the old bay bridge, meanwhile, is quickly being dismantled and could become a distraction to drivers. >> if you mistakenly assume that the bay bridge construction project is finished, then clearly you have not accessed the new eastern span via the bike pass temporary entrance. it is soon to be part of a history. >> starting at 8:00 p.m. on sunday, march 23rd, the bike path will be closed for up to one week, and at the latest, will reopen at 6:00 a.m. on monday, march 31st. >> that's andrew gordon who speaks for the bridge. >> explaining the closure that will enable the completion of this permanent entrance to the bike path that's all part of the plan. as is this. you're looking at the latest sky 7 footage of yet another bay

bridge engineering project, the $240 million de-construction of the once iconic section. some 58,000 tons of steel and 245,000 tons of concrete. how does this tie into the bay bridge bike path? well, the bike path has a lot close-up view of the work. >> yeah, it's really cool. >> i have no idea. breaking it apart, i guess. >> methodically, we might add and carefully. a step by step reversal of the construction process. and you can see all of that from the bike path for a little while longer, at least. caltrans plans to install protective gates to keep observers from getting too close. >> and while demolition work is taking place, that gate will be locked. on the off chance -- >> reporter: just an fyi for you fans of de-construction. if you want to get a good look at the action, you'd better hurry.

along the bay bridge, wayne friedman, abc 7 news. >> sky 7hd offers a safe way to see the bay bridge demolition. the highway patrol emphasizes it is important to watch the road in front of you and not get distracted by the activity on the old span. >> as a driver, any distraction can take your mind off the road. your most important priority, though, is the safety of your vehicle and passengers and everyone on the roadway with you. >> and they add, watching anything other than the traffic can be as distracting and as dangerous as texting while driving. changing insurance policies for drivers. the ride service says the move is to address concerns for liability over accidents with drivers who are working but don't have passengers. this happened as a driver hit and killed a 6-year-old on new year's eve. they claim they were not responsibility because the driver didn't have a passenger in the car at the time.

an attorney for the family says the new coverage is not enough. >> they're saying that their same car on the roadway if it has a passenger in it, they'll pay $1 million. if there's no one in it, they'll pay $50,000. and it's just a sham. they're trying a pr move to deal with the situation they have not provided adequate insurance. >> could not be reached to comment on the attorney's claims. two other ride companies have also announced plans to increase coverage. happening today, oakland parents will meet with police and school officials to discuss sexual assaults on campuses. the meeting hosted by the mayor comes after two reported instances of a man inappropriately touching children at world academy and think college now elementary school. the incidents occurred on march 7th and january 24th. today's meeting, which will focus on the east oakland area begins at 10:00 a.m. east bay mud is taking a new hands on approach to saving water.

welcome back, everyone, it's 8:44. how about this gorgeous view from our camera. see all that sun glistening off the bay there. that's how it's going to be through most of the bay area today. nice and warm and sunny. good news, if that's the way you like your weather. who doesn't, right? well, the bay area research team believes it has an innovative solution to two critical problems facing california. it's a device designed to deliver energy and fresh water. here's abc 7 news anchor carolyn johnson with the details. >> reporter: on a foggy day along the bay area coastline, it can be hard to spot anything besides surf p and sand. but researchers believe they can see a clear and promising future in these crashing waves. marcus lehman is a graduate engineer at the university california berkeley.

and behind him is a device known as the sea floor carpet designed to harness the power of waves. >> you can clearly see that the carpet follows the wave motion. and this motion of the carpet then drives the pumps underneath. >> it's a scaled down version of what could ultimately be a reliable energy system with the potential to provide other benefits, as well. the professor who leads the team says the idea is based loosely on the physics of mud which lies on the sea floor absorbing much of the turbulence created by waves before they crash on to the shorelines. >> it came to my mind if mark can do such a good job. if we place the carpet on the seabed that responds to the action of overpassing waves, the same way responds, then to be able to take out the same amount. >> reporter: as seen in this animation provided by the lab, the action of the hydraulic pumps forces sea water through a single line which creates a high pressure flow that can be used

to produce electricity onshore. but in addition to driving turbines, the team believes pumps could also be used to provide something just as valuable to california. fresh, drinkable water. >> the current process we have, generates high pressure water that can be used. and it's the first application that we're working on at this point. >> we could switch to fresh water used to generate to produce fresh water in times where, let's say at night where there's no sun shining. we could use ways to produce electricity. >> the team is setting up partnerships to create a large scale prototype and hopes to begin ocean testing within two years. perhaps ultimately turning the tide toward renewables, ocean energy. carolyn johnson, abc 7 news. >> the carpet certainly isn't the first attempt to harness wave power. but the team believes it has several advantages over competing technologies. because it sits on the ocean

floor, they think it'll take far less punishment than surface systems and then potentially require less maintenance. all right. 8:47 just a second. and there's kind of ocean news this morning, right, from waves. >> you're right. it's going to build the waves over the weekend. so tomorrow into monday, the high surf advisory. and for today, we're looking at plenty of sunshine and almost equal hours of daylight and darkness. by tomorrow and monday, we'll get to that similar sunrise and sun set. and then the official equinox is on the 20th. we usher in spring. here's a look at live doppler 7 hd where you can see our sweep on top of mt. st. helena. san jose at 50 degrees, 47 in redwood city, low 50s in the city. and where it has been clear, which is pretty much everywhere, the temperatures have been cooler from oakland to half moon bay and concord this morning. looking pretty clear out there. 51 by the delta and numbers in

the low 40s with the cool spots in napa, santa rosa, 47 in livermore. so the subtle changes this morning without the fog and with the sunny start, we're on our way to a warmer weekend. but we do have a couple atmospheric elements helping that out, that's high pressure firmly in control with the push. and that will allow for perhaps a couple of temperatures in the 80s. we would have to be well into the mid-80s, though, to break records around the bay area. so compared to yesterday, we're warmer today, anywhere from 2 to 8 degrees warmer, and we were above average yesterday. so yesterday's readings from the upper 60s in hayward, 66 in san francisco, it was 70 in oakland. now today, we're coming up 4 to 5 degrees, but this is about 10 to 15 degrees above average because average highs are only in about the low 60s to upper 60s. so that would feel pretty good, too, if we had that. but bonus today and tomorrow as
