with so much about her and the things she puts in congress. we understand she will now be the democrat minority leader. the biggest issue on the agenda before that new congress comes in, what to do about the bush tax cuts that expire at the end of the year. the white house has been floating this compromise of a temporary extension for the wealthiest americans, those who makeover $250,000 a year as opposed to the permanent that machine republicans want. that's what they will be talking about. they got to pass spending to avoid a government shut down much the government is running on borrowed money right now. they have get to pass one major spending bill this year. they have to deal with social security and medicare extensions that need unemployment insurance. another thing that the democrats want to get past another extension of unemployment.

it's a heavy agenda for what we answer a lame duck congress that doesn't get a lot done between now and the end of the year. laura? leaders are focused on a green economy. last year more than 1200 officials attended from more than 70 states. provinces and nations. they hope to find ways to reduce green house gas emissions. time now is 5:45 and thanks for joining us. >> first this morning, the prosecution in a case that gripd the bay area and made national headlines. we will take first steps later today. we are talking about the gang rape of a high school student last fall. live with more on what the seven suspects are accused of.

good morning, bob. >> good morning, laura. seven suspects, young men mostly are expected in a martinez courtroom later this morning for what will be a preliminary hearing and a chance for the judge to decide whether there is enough evidence to move on. you may recall over a year ago, last october during the homecoming dance that a scene-year-old student came out and was going to have her father come by and pick her up. instead these men allegedly assaulted her and gang raped her. people stood by and watched and nobody did anything to stop it. later we will tell you what they have done in the meantime. they secured a canvas to make it safer. live in richmond, today in the bay. >> thank you very much, bob. >> we continue our coverage of

what to expect in court. our legal expert steven clark is joining us this morning. good to see you. >> good morning. >> the pretrial begins today. what prosecutors need to show. this is about whether or not this goes to a full trial. >> what the da has to show at this point in the proceedings is, is there enough evidence to take the case to trial? it's a reasonable suspicion and it's not the beyond a reasonable doubt standard. the judge will be looking to see if they put on a prima fashia against all seven defendants. all seven will be in court and trying to knock their case out. talk about the seven accused people. are they all attackers? the reason i ask, would it be difficult to prove who specifically did what since you have seven of them and therefore would some get one sentence and somebody else get a difference sentence? >> the da has to prove all the

case against each one. they have to attack their case individually. this case will come down to other people who were there and witnesses against these seven as well as probably the most important thing, the forensic evidence, the dna evidence which i expect them to put on and that will be challenged. that is the critical part of the case. the victim will not testify it. >> i will ask you about the victim. in lieu of that, let's talk about the dna. how hard is it, when you have one attacker, this dna goes with that person. since you have seven and you have to sort through, does that make it complicated? >> it makes it complicated, but not particularly complicated. the da is unique to each individual and there would be exemptionulars and the prosecution has that evidence. they will put it on. because of the nature of this case and the age of the victim, that dna is not supposed to be

there. any presence of dna from the defendants i think will be very strong evidence in this case. >> in this particular case are all of these people who are accused people who allegedly took part in the actual rape and attack itself or is there a charge for not doing anything? i guess maybe in a way being an accomplice? >> that's a great point. that made this a national case. so many people took no action to protect this young woman. the law does not impose criminal liability on just standing around. these people, the seven in court are the actual attackers and not the bystanders who we heard about. >> they think man, somebody should have stepped forward, but legally you are not required to. it's based on the attack. >> it was a horrible moral act in terms of watching and not taking action.

the law does not extend criminal liability to them. a lot of people are asking for changes as a result of this case. >> we should point out this is the criminal case, but the school district has taken care of it. >> most of these defendants are looking at a life sentence. >> steven clark, thank you so much for shedding light and working through it. we will talk to you about 6:15. >> 5:50 right now and hoping to help you work through the commute. not too bad so far, but it's early at 5:50. you will find a good drive time through the south bay. 85 and 87 look good. the same for the peninsula. things moving good through menlo park and palo alto. bayshore freeway, everything is on time this morning which is nice to report.

the same along the maze as well. highway 24 through the east bay. only will take you about four minutes to swing through there. >> and the weather is looking good. clear skies around the bay area and near 70 around fairfield. the north wins are going this morning and mild outside. you can see the winds north of 22 and fairfield. these are the wins that warmed us up to finish off the weekend. a couple more days, nice weather and notice the clouds off to the north. those will be dropping late or this week. nothing but 70s and the warmer places inland with the east bay. could see 80s again today. outstanding for outdoor plans. if you like cooler temperatures, the second half of the week will be the days for you. not only cooler and a chance of showers and highs only in the 50s. saturday and sunday so say goodbye to the short sleeve weather as we head towards the

weekend. back to you. >> new this morning, the taliban is taking responsibility for an attack on a u.s. military base in eastern afghanistan. a taliban spokesperson said militants fired a rocket at a base in the capital of the eastern province much flame and smoke were rising from inside of the base. they couldn't be reached immediately for comment, but look at thick black smoke. they stepped up attacks against afghan and foreign targets. we now know the cause of a powerful explosion in mexico's posh riviera that killed five canadians and two mexican workers south of cancun. it was because of a build up of gas from a nearby swamp. two americans were also hurt. witnesses say the floor was building was hurled up through the ceiling through the force of that explosion.
