the inspections started in 2002. to date, a quarter of those lines have not been looked at according to the inspections. here's the break down. pg&e has over 1,000 miles of gas lines classified as needing stricter inspections. the utility looked at 750 miles. they found four leaks and five failures. it can be like a knick in the wall of the pipeline. that means there over 270 miles of high risk gas lines that need to be looked at. it's on track to have those inspected by 2012. that is on schedule with the original mandate issued by regulators. because of the explosion here in san bruno, there is a call for pushing up the schedule to hurry up. the california public utilities commission that regulates is considering asking the utility to speed up the remaining inspections. the bay area congressman saying

the padres. they will face the brewers at at&t park. the padres lost to the cardinals and 4-0 was the final. the giants have 15 games left in the season. it's setting up a showdown because they host the padres for the final three games of the season. if this is a close race, that will be important. >> it will be grit to watch. a lot of people headed to the game that affects traffic. >> you get into the city and travel through the city today, you will find a lot of folks heading towards at&t park. we have a closure that started last night. howard street between third and fourth. that block has close and will remain closed. that starts on monday, but a lot of activity last night and through the weekend. keep that in mind if you are starting over the course of the next week. golden gate moves nicely and you see the fog and the drizzle that might affect your drive.

our state is in a real mess. and i'm not going to give you any phony plans or snappy slogans that don't go anywhere. we have to make some tough decisions. we have to live within our means. we have got to take the power from the state capitol and move it down to the local level, closer to the people. and no new taxes, without voter approval. we have got to pull together not as republicans or as democrats but as californians first. at this stage in my life, i'm prepared to do exactly that.

of traffic. you see the slowing going through livermore and over towards the dublin interchange. the bay bridge, a look at the toll plaza and we will have the metering lights. low clouds and fog and rob has the rest that was forecast for his story in a moment. >> one of the jonas brothers will be in the bay area to raise fonemohery alpecial olympics tomorrow. we will tell you about it, next. jaguar platinum coverage is not just a warranty. it's a belief in everything we do. it's a 5 year, 50,000 mile promise. with complimentary scheduled maintenance no-cost replacement of wear and tear items and 24/7 roadside assistance.

regulators are thinking about asking them to speed up the process. the utility will not say which lines have not been inspected. >> developing news and five men are under arrest after a threat against the pope. >> scott broke the story for us. what's the latest? >> how much we don't know with all this breaking news. we know the pope is fine. this arrest came long before they were able to get access to him. we don't know the specific threat against the hope or the nationality of the men. they are between the ages of 26 and 56. they were arrested in a business in london. the pope is in his second day to his visit to the united kingdom. it's overshadowed by discussion with the catholic church's problems and sexual abuse, but we don't know if the man had a connection to that issue. we want to see what the men say

number one pick. the game kicks off at 1:00 pardon me o sunday. we will take you back to the peninsula. the earlier accident is on northbound 280 at avalon, but it shows up southbound on the right shoulder. it's as far away as you can get still being on the roadway. no reason for the slowing other than more cars are hitting the road towards airport drive. another accident, but no major issues. the slowing is as a result of more folks running the averages and starring to recom put. a nice flow of traffic and no major issues. a light volume with traffic coming over the hills. the bridge was likely over the water with the headlights. a clear view, but a look at the toll plaza where we see steady

volume and clouds impeding the view. earlier overnight, we had a fog advisory for the lower deck that has been lifted. sticking around in many spots. >> especially around the bridge. misty skies and muggy temperatures. it is humid and we have 60s to get it started. 67 at san jose. heldative ll ll lly warm moist . upper 70s later on. the giants taking on the brewers. the sea breeze will be going good and about 57 around game time. satellite view shows rain today moving north of ukiah and the rain is going to work south through the weekend hour by hour. saturday will be fine. this is the futurecast on sunday. you can see what's left. midday sunday will be the best bet of rain across the bay area.

everyone which is what's going to happen if congress does not act before the end of the year when the tax cuts run out. republicans are now pushing for that to happen before november's election. democratic leaders, nancy pelosi saying she is not sure that will happen before the election, but they will act before the end of the year. it is the politically charged issue affecting the elections in washington. interesting to think about how it might play out. if congress decides to keep the tax cuts in place for everyone, republicans of course will claim credit and it could be bad for democrats at the polls if they keep them for the middle class and raise for the rich, the democrats can claim victory, but republicans can in the election say look, democrats raise taxes. speaking only about the 3% on who the taxes are raised. if they do nothing, everyone's taxes go up at the end of the year. >> quit trying to claim victory and give americans a break.

thank you. a permanent fix for the gulf. crews kektd the relief well and all they have to do now is pump concrete in. no oil leaked in the past few months, but crews are still cleaning up and the criminal investigation into the explosion on the deep water horizon rig is ongoing. his a look well at the mine in chile where protesters are going on. miners are trapped, but back on the surface, the workers said they are owed back pay and the company owes them money. they would like to look for other jobs, but in chile you can't look for a new job until you complete the old one. if they are owed money and haven't wrapped up the work, they are not free to look for a

new job. >> you are watching today in the bay. we will check traffic and weather in less than five minutes. first, police are looking for the man who attacked a woman inside an east bay apartment complex. christie smith has the latest on the search. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it is frightening. we have seen two security guards at the complex talking with residents and milling around. this is the fourth sexual assault to be reported in the same complex. before we came on, a man said not again. he couldn't believe it happened jen and he feels like the area is being targeted for some reason though invest getters are note saying that. they don't know how the attacker got in, but they are calling it a sexual assault and home invasion achl woman home alone in her 20s in her apartment. it was reported yesterday around 6:00 p.m. a berkeley man is in jail this

morning and investigators say dna linked him to a july sixth rape here and he is also changed with two attempted rapes here dating back to late june. all happening at the park regency apartments in walnut creek. he pleaded not guilty and his family said he wasn't even in the area at the time. it looks like it may be another attacker. christie smith today in the bay. >> thank you for the latest. meantime, a man original from marin may have been kidnapped in mexico. 47-year-old lane gilbert, a wealthy real estate dwerp was living in mexico when he disappeared nearly three weeks ago. we now know his call was found hours after gilbert was last seen behind the wheel. a man claimed it belonged to his employer. that man was carrying gilbert's id. so far mexican police have not detaped the man as a suspect.

>> families across the state are concerned about their safety because hundreds of miles of high risk pipeline still needs to be inspected. bob redell is live with why pg&e said it will take more than a year to finish the inspections and what the state plans to do in the meantime, bob? >> reporter: good morning. before the gas line exploded and levelled the neighborhood here in san bruno, pg&e was reinspecting the high risk gas lines and we understand it still is. the utility has been doing it since 2002 after several accidents. in the eight years since, a quarter of those line his yet to be reinspected and you might be surprised to hear that in spite of that, utilities considered to be on schedule. they are supposed to be finished by 2012, the date they say they will be able to meet. those things, the things have changed since last thursday.
