a different kind of breakfast being served in oakland to help victims of violent crime. i will tell you where and how to help in a live report. >> today is the last chance to weigh in on oakland's attempt to keep the a's playing ball in the east bay. how to make sure your voice is heard. >> good morning. i it is 4:30.

highway patrol officers at the scene of a deadly accident. it happened just along san leandro before the washington avenue exit about an hour ago. two cars were involve and one person has died. several lanes were blocked. mike inouye is monitoring the situation. sounds as if it was one of the multiaccidents where the person was killed not in the first accident, but in the second. >> what are it sounds like is a person initially hit the yellow barrel at the off-ramp. the traffic flow splits to the off-ramp and the initial impact didn't cause major damage to the car. it looked like the person got out of the car and she was hit by another car that came through the area. that caused the situation and she was lying dead in the roadway when the chp was called and the coroner is heading to the scene. three lanes are blocked before

you get to 238 as an alternate. eastbound over to northbound 238 as the morning continues. right now a lighter volume is allowing traffic to flow in the one lane for the time being. plan on eastbound 580. the forecast as we look for the volume is that as the traffic builds, we are looking at a 5:00 arrival and we are looking at 5:30 or 5:45 and that's not a good time. the traffic will really build at that time. >> stay with me for a minute. we will stay with this throughout the day and we need to repeat. this happened to a young lady on 101. a water pello player. if you are in an accident, stay in the car with the seatbelt on. >> most definitely. >> chp will say do whatever the situation requires. look as far as you can down the roadway. in this situation i don't know

what they would advise, but it's not safe to wander around the roadway. if she called it in, they vld to advise her as what to do. it's never to walk on the freeway, that's for sure. >> thank you. it seems strange to say breakfast can help victims of violent crime, but that's where christie smith live outside the chicken and waffles. >> reporter: good morning. this will help victims by supporting them throughout the holidays. 100% go to help victims of violent crime in oakland. the foundation was actually created by a family that has gone through a personal tragedy of their own. the foundation for nonviolence was created by a woman named marilyn washington harris who lost her season-year-old son to

the streets of west oakland in 2000. since then the family has been a strong advocate for ending violence. student athletes will be here to serve breakfast and the cost is $25. all proceeds go to the foundation. basically the restaurant is just offering a location and doing a good deed. this is the second annual holiday breakfast at the home of chicken and waffles here in jack london square. 444 embarcadero in oakland. if you want to help, come on down. it starts at 7:30 through 9:30. that's the latest from oakland, christie smith, today in the east bay. >> oakland citizens police review board wants to hear your thoughts on racial profiling. paul figueroa and ron davis will thereby at the meeting to

listen. davis spent 19 years on the oakland police force. it will be on the oakland council chambers in city hall at 6:15 tonight. also new, today is the deadline to weigh in to keep the a's in the east bay. the planning commission wants public feedback on what should be included in an environmental impact report for the project. the proposed 39,000-seat project will be on lake merit and 880 near jack london square. this is entirely oakland's idea. the a's have not expressed an interest in the plan. they asked for permission to move to the south bay. public comments should be sent to the city's community and economic development agency. money, traffic, architecture and terrorism have been at the top of the list of concerns. criminals targeting the trendiest neighborhoods and plateses in berkeley where

people go out for a night on the town. the latest happened not far from the north berkeley bart station at hurst and martin luther king. earlier incidents happened around the gourmet ghetto. neighbors certainly are on alert. >> someone posted a sign on the telephone pole outside the house saying there has been robberies in the neighborhood. >> that's one reason why berkeley residents are on alert. some people on foot are being robbed at gunpoint in the north berkeley area. >> no reason to panic. we often out for ourselves and our neighbors. >> eyes open for people committing a crime of opportunity, one of the latest happened at martin luther king and hurst avenue. one of the first happened on actor and cedar in september. >> we are used to property crimes, but not with weapons. >> the city councilwoman said that's what police are dealing

with these days. the community wants to fight back. >> we have trees that are buzzing back and forth. i expect people will have a lot of questions and they want a lot of details and they also want to know the strategy and they want to be participants and be there to help. >> one way to help is to let people know where the robberies are happening and what the robbers are looking for. >> people are asked when they're being held up for their ipod and their wallet. maybe people need to keep their telephones somewhere else. >> today in the east bay. >> the dream act moves to the senate. it passed the house of representatives last night. the legislation offers legal status to some undocumented high school graduates to. qualify for a conditional green card, they must come to the u.s. before they were 16, lived here for five years, have no criminal record, be headed to the college

or the military. >> for would be a waste if they graduated and are not able to pursue higher education. >> to reward people who broke the law is nonsense. it's immoral and wrong. >> the act is expecting to have a tough time in the senate. the dream sakt designed to protect children of illegal immigrants who have no idea their parents were illegal being being deported from the only country they have ever known. >> jeanne quan is joining oakland growns challenge to do all of their holiday shopping at the city's local businesses. the challenge is meant to be a fun way to discover all the cool things you can find and feel good about supporting the local economy. encouraging others to join her in the challenge. we talk to mike inouye throughout the morning. a major artery is shut down or

all but shut down some. >> look at the live shot in the middle of your screen. you see the fire truck and it is flatbed looks like it's loading one of the vehicles involved in the deadly accident on to the truck itself. only one lane gets by. slowly passing the scene and a deadly accident after an original accident and the yellow barrels, a car hit and someone got out and was hit in the area and that's what caused the deadly accident and the coroner has to arrive on scene to complete the investigation. i'm guessing this is a 5:30 estimate. that's only based on the typical flow for this type of accident. we will show you this is before you get to 2:38. the alternate will be eastbound 580 and take twog 38 over to 880. that's not necessary. you have the traffic flowing by the scene.

you will slow quickly on the still slick roadways and an accident in the back up that is cleared from lanes and still a sign that you have to watch as you approach the exit and the sigalert. >> we will check with you after the break and keep an update on this. we will turn to weather and good morning, rob. >> we are watching the weather this morning with patchy fog and visibility down to about a quarter of a mile. that could slow you down. rain for now across most of the north bay, highway 101 towards the golden gate bridge. this is the pattern in and out. scattered showers rolling through with the temperatures staying most le in the upper 50s to low 60s. one more batch of showers before things dry out for the weekend. east bay temperatures in the low 60s and 59 for mo raga and numbers close to 60 in the delta as well. we will look at a warm up for the weekend in the seven-day forecast in a few minutes.

a very serious accident will affect the commute for quite sometime. we will check in with nik a couple of minutes. golden dreams for a golden bear. the first woman ever chose tone head the u.s. women's swim team. today in the east bay talked with the coach. >> i have been told it's 596 days. >> it's less than 24 hours since she got the job and she is counting down to the 2012 london games. >> being named the coach is a huge honor. >> the swimming coach at the university of california was an assistant coach and she will head the women's squad at the next olympics.

team in the world is quite humbling. terry is hoping to double that number for the summer games in 2012 in lont on. elise kirschner, today in the bay. >> things are looking up for antioch school. antioch unified will be able to get off the office of education's watch list. the district has shown it's made enough budget cuts to stay above water, but to keep that status, the district must make about $4 million in cuts to the 139 million dollar operating budget by june 30th of 2011. there has been a horrific accident on 880 with one person killed and much of the highway unusable. seems like the driver hit sand barrels and took it from there. >> you are looking at the scene. the person originally involve

did hit the sand barrels and i talked to them and they said it sounded like the person hit the barrels and got out of their car. another car hit them. a pedestrian there. that caused the deadly accident where at least one car was involved. only one lane of southbound 880 is open as you head just approaching washington off right before you get to the 238 cross over there off of the castro valley y. we will focus on the nuts and bolts. just before you get to 238. southbound 880 will bog down and chp doesn't know when it will open, but i will forecast and the coroner takes about an hour and a half from the original call to get to the scene and a half hour to 40 minutes for this type of investigation potentially for the closure. we are looking at maybe a 5:30

opening, but the coroner has not yet arrived. plan the alternate to get you past the accident. that is still not fully necessary because the volume at the 880 year approaching san leandro was light. plan for that if you are not going to leave until after 5:30. we will give you the updates. three of the four lanes are blocked in san leandro. >> i'm sorry i can't join you on a happier note, but let's talk about the weather. >> the weather could slow your commute. showers off and on thanks to the jet stream over the bay area. as we head towards the weekend, we are expecting changes. the main concern is into saturday and sunday. patchy thick fog towards the trivalley. 50s and 60s for highs and mild, but you want to keep the umbrella on stand by for areas north of concord. the seven-day forecast will show fog setting up for the weekend, but dry in places like oakland

that warms up into the mid 60s by sunday. >> thank you, rob. the president's proposed tax cut deal. for more on news before the bell, julie is live at cnbc world headquarters. good morning. >> futures are higher as the run up in bond yields or prices is pushing up stock. traders are still weighing whether president obama's deal will boost short-term growth or make the deficits bigger. the markets are advanced from the news. asian marks were higher overnight and europe is also in the green. we get reports on new filings for unemployment and house and senate reports have thwarted republicans to give checks to social security recipients missing out on an increase this year. president obama urged passage of the one-time payment and said

they are having trouble getting by on social security alone. they can't afford the estimated $14 billion cost of the check and the freezes come after significant boosts in the cost of living in 2009. more and more billionaires are choosing to give half their fortunes to charity. a part of the giving pledge was launched in june by bill gates and warren buffett. back over to you. looks as if president obama's unpopular tax deal will come up with a vote next week, but can he gets it party to vote for it? we have the latest from washington. vice president biden convinced them the tax bill is a

fair compromise. >> that is the biggest tax give away i have seen the entire life. >> there is no reason this had to be part of the deal. >> the only way we get out of the hole we are in is to make shared sacrifices. >> the opponents fear not just that they save money, but republicans will sweeten the deal. a vote on extending the tax cuts and unemployment will likely happen next week, at least 50 democrats signed a letter opposing and some threatened to delay the vote. >> they can make their arguments and their points, but they don't have a plan that has any chance of passing. >> look at the facts and have a thorough debate, but get it done. >> what if january 1st comes? your taxes go up and a republican-controlled house will have to deal with it.

>> let them tell the middle class it won't give a tax cut and they can't have relief. >> tracie potts, today in the east bay. >> let's get a check with laura and she is looking at what's coming up. >> good morning, scott and everyone. we have a lot to cover. today is a last chance to weigh in on the plan to keep the a's in oakland. the fight to keep victory scare from turning into a flop. the holiday displays come a scene of a terrible accident. so sad. a toddler still in the hospital this morning after nearly drowning in a hotel fountain. those stories and traffic and weather coming up on today in the bay. >> sounds good. we will have more on the traffic accident on 880. for most of us, the headache is a short-lived nuisance. a few minutes later you are feeling fina after tylenol, but what if it doesn't go away and we keep taking medicine.

vicki nguyen explains how the medicine could make headaches worse. >> my headache starts from the neck and usually it's the right side and only one side at a time. it goes right here. >> a nisa like so many reaches for headache medicine that she has taken for years. such remedies, even over the counter ones can be part of the problem. >> people are taking medicine two or three times a day for several weeks. >> for some people, this only perpetuates the pain. not sure why, but there is a way to stop it. >> we need to taper off the pain medication and avoid the triggers and you may consider some that approves the treatment of the headache. >> some foods. nuts, chocolate and cottage

cheese is among them. she is not sure why she suffers from the headaches, just that they keep happening. >> i have them every morning. >> one hint that could stop them. vicki nguyen, today in the eaft bay. >> for the medicine doesn't help, contact your doctor or consult with a neurologist as well. >> the warriors just lost the fifth game in a row. reggie williams had not enough to beat the spurs in antonio. they lose 111-94. the next game is say big one. lebron james, dwyane wade and the heat come to town. there has been a terrible accident on 880. one person killed and much of the highway unusable. mike, they were waiting on the coroner and he arrived. >> sounds like. our photographer is on the scene and said the coroner did arrive quickly and left the scene after a quick investigation.

the chp had most of the details and the coroner officially documented after the person got out of the car of a fender bender and a deadly accident after another car hit the person. the evidence there as well taken into account. the chp has now begun clearing the final stages of the accident. the car is involve and we should see the lanes reopen over the next few minutes. this is video take friend a couple of minutes ago as they loaded one of the cars facing the wrong direction. you see the headlights. chp is guessing and estimating 5:00 for the lanes to reopen. that would be good news are but i will come back at 5:00 and let you know how it progresses. i will definitely let people know a way around the alternate. the incident continues. back to you as i get back on the phone with chp and find out the latest. >> it recalls an accident on 101
