bay." 6:03 right now. a california man may have been planning to bomb one of the biggest mosques. police in dearborn, michigan, said they found roger stockton here with an explosive. they just made an arrest public even thoughi/k it happened on monday. stockton is from imperial beach near san diego. he drove from his home to michigan. he faces felony charges in making terrorist threats. a trial is expected to begin for a bay area teenager who set off a bomb inside a san mateo high school. the 17-year-old walked in hoping to kill his former chemistry teacher and as many students and staff as possible back in august of 2009. investigators say he went in armed with ten homemade pipe bombs and a chainsaw and a sword. after he set off the first two bombs injuring one person he was tackled by an english teacher. he is currently in custody

clearest sign that a unified leadership is trying to come together and emerge in the protest movement. mubarak, meantime, is opening the door to talk to his rival political party. he has been in office for nearly 30 years. the president says that the country's priority should be reorganized and that the people do have a legitimate demand. he called on new government leaders to stand against any forms of corruption and to stop all violence. mubarak is also saying that he thinks that the demonstrations by peaceful citizens have been infiltrated by a criminal element. 50,000 americans are currently in that country according to the u.s. embassy. the state department is getting americans out of egypt on charter flights today. embassy personnel and their families are leaving first. after they are out other american citizens who want to leave can get on those chartered flights. of course, all of this is changing hour by hour in cairo. scott mcgrew has been watching

this and trying to see what's going on. of course, we'll determine how it will affect us at home, too. >> reporter: it could. it is just past 4:00 in the afternoon now in cairo. we have heard the latest from the airports that, yes, it is chaotic at the airport, but peaceful in the streets of cairo. meanwhile, the american markets reacting badly to the unrest. let's talk china. even china is getting involved in the sense that chinese ministers there are sensoring the internet. this is a big concern for any aauthoritarian government. the official chinese state report is talking about the need for a settled lack of violence in e gyp egypt. these are possibly the latest pictures coming out of egypt.

1,000 people here for this fund-raiser. i'm sure there will be more. elected officials throughout the city up to sacramento, everybody is starting to pull together very quickly. >> the clinic has until february 7th to come up with the money to try to keep the clinic open. last night's fund-raiser brought in about $60,000. it is 6:09 right now. san francisco's animal care and control agency is running out of city money. and it could soon turn to companies for funding. the 40-employee agency finds homes for 600 cats and dogs and other animals at any given time. it has a $4.5 million budget but the city is planning to cut the figure by 10%. san francisco voters are repeatedly rejected private advertising on city property but the director of the city agency doesn't care. he says they desperately need the money. in the meantime we want to check your forecast this morning. it is monday morning. we are drying out a little bit. >> we are, and we are looking to more of the dog-walking weather as of tomorrow. high pressure, boy, oh, boy, i

just took another look at some of the most updated models. it looks like as of tomorrow we'll be back up in the upper 60s. gilroy tomorrow, 70 degrees. high pressure family roomily firmly in control of the weather pattern. this is taking the storm track completely vertical here. you can see up and over that big ridge of high pressure, all the clouds, for the most part, are staying out of the bay area. you can see the offshore flow shaping up here. the satellite imagery is giving us a big picture this morning. 41 degrees today. right now in oakland, that is. today will be the coolest day of the week. 60 in fremont and san jose. 60 for almaden valley as well. take a look at tomorrow. your tuesday is looking much warmer by five to ten degrees on average. temperaturewise it will be a very, very warm tuesday. so that's what is shaping up in the weather department. let's find out how well we are doing with mike inouye in the traffic department. good morning, christina. we'll take you out to the roadways to give you realtime

sensors through antioch. we expect to see speeds below 20 miles per hour coming through love ridge. but that's a typical pattern. we are watching for the effects of the fog. so far it is not hampering your commute. the cartinas bridge and venetian bridge, no fog advisory in through the east bay. at the toll plaza the live look shows you the backup in the cash lane. they are starting to form that right now indicating more folks heading off the east shore freeway and out of the maze. so we'll see meter lights turn on in 15 minutes with the build up continuing at the current pace. here to the north bay a nice, easy drive down to the golden gate bridge. you can see the glowing lights. christina has been talking about the fog through novato, but this is pretty close to the limit in the north bay. we'll get back to show you travel times here on highway 12 down to 37. you are encountering a lot of thick fog near novato. lower visibility, lower the

speeds. still to come on "today in the bay," the government wants you to put down the old salt shaker. we'll show you new guidelines being released later today. >> so does your wife. and governor jerry brown delivers his state of the state address. a preview is next in a live report. and a live look outside from the south bay. it is nice and clear. a little chilly to start the day, but we are drying out a bit. christina will update you on what to expect going throughout the course of the morning.

welcome back, everybody.

a live look outside. a nice clear shot of the bay bridge. a nice looking shot of the morning. not a lot of clouds, not a lot of wind. we are not having rain. it is clearing out a bit, but christina will update you on what to expect with the forecast later on. governor jerry brown delivers his state of the state tonight, and teachers, students and health care workers are some of the groups listening closely. but in the midst of a mind-boggling budget deficit, some say the governor has a lot to prove. "today in the bay's" marla tellez is here with a preview. >> reporter: laura, this is not the first time he has taken the stage at the state capitol as the third-term governor. jerry brown has delivered a state of the state address, but perhaps never in such dire economic times. his speech is expected to focus on california's nearly $25.5 billion deficit. and 12.5% unemployment rate. to solve the deficit governor brown wants to cut $12.5 billion and raise $12.5 billion more

with cuts to state services and programs. he also wants to extend the tax hike added during the schwarzenegger administration, including a 1-cent increase in sales tax and the increase in vehicle license fees. those were supposed to expire this year. according to the sacramento papers, he is going to keep his address optimistic. he has a lot of stake concerning the public opinion. the public policy institute of california shows that 41% of californians approve of the job he's doing while 39% haven't made up their mind yet. many believe his approval rating is sure to rise if they like what he says. we'll stream the state of the state address live on our website. log on to nbcbayarea.com to check it out. we also have crews in sacramento covering the event. we'll bring you live team coverage from the state capitol

a flood gate of secret documents is waiting to be unleashed. the founder of wikileaks says he has plans to rereese a treasure-trove of documents if his website is shut down. julian assange says he has backups to all his data. he says over 100,000 people are ready to continue to work just in case of an emergency. assange is no stranger to controversy. he's under a u.s. criminal investigation over the leaking of secret military documents. and the swedish government is trying to extradite him for an alleged sex crime. if wikileaks would release the secrets is just about fool-proof. let's go to scott mcgrew to talk about this more. >> reporter: wikileaks already distributed the secrets. now it just needs to tell people how to unlock them. assange says his organization has sent digital pacts of secrets to thousands upon

thousands of those over the globe, but they are encrypted remaining secret for now. if some government is able to shut down the wikileaks website or assange or his lawyers, all they have to do is make sure the people get the secret numeric key to unlock the leaks. we have gotten pretty sophisticated about the internet, so it is easy to forget how new it is. a video flying around youtube shows the hosts of the "today" show talking during a commercial break after brian gumable got tripped up reading an e-mail address. he had never seen one before. >> it is at nbc. >> what is the internet anyway? >> someone off camera goes on to explain it is a network of computers. and, brent, it is getting bigger and bigger. it is easy to laugh at the time,

salt is theette. i could turn into a human pillar of salt. all right. we'll check the forecast. certainly a rainy day yesterday. >> yes, nothing like biblical proportions. i love the setup we are seeing because it will bring us more spring-lightning conditions this week. very comparable to what we saw last week. the rain over the weekend is a thing of the past. no rain in the future. and we are looking good with the big ridge of high pressure taking shape out here in the pacific ocean. you can take the storm track. you can see it taking it completely vertically. and all the showers we see from the pineapple express right now are going to come to the north. so we'll stay nice and dry this week. abnormally warm again. 42 in hayward. 41 in san jose. we'll start out cooler this morning and end up as the coolest day of the week with our temperatures in the 50s. pretty nice. 61 in oakland. 60 for san jose. lots of sunshine for the second half of the day. let me take you into your tuesday because that's when the

better commute in the evening, but we have to deal with fog this morning. that's exactly right. we are watching the same areas you are talking about. the south bay is getting hit with some patchy, dense fog drifting through the area. now we have the dense traffic coming northbound on 101. that's not a reflection on the drivers. we have a northbound 101 slowing all the way past the airport. also 87 coming up from downtown, that's a typical pattern for the south bay. further north the drive for 880 and 680 are fine. near gremer boulevard near the furniture store here, there's a fire there. crews are on the scene. no lanes are blocked, but we have fire crews on the scene. it will be a distraction heading through the area. take it slow through the area. 880 is slow through the bay bridge toll plaza. the metering lights are on. and the commute is on for this monday morning. back to you. thank you, mike. new this morning, two people are

dead after being shot in a popular tourist spot in san francisco. and "today in the bay" cease bob redell is live at the scene with an update on what's going on. >> reporter: good morning to you, brent. this happened just along the main drag here at fisherman's wharf on jefferson street inside this shuttered store right here, south luggage and suv nears. it was 8:30 when a man went in there and shot two employees who work in the store, both a man and woman. by the time the authorities arrived they were pronounced dead on the scene. the police have a man that they believe is the suspect. they arrested this person. they interviewed him last night, but as of last night they had no motive. so was this a random shooting? was it an attempted robbery? or does this suspect know the victi victims? that part is not clear. this is a very popular area for tourists. police tell us that this area was contained quickly and nobody else was in danger. despite the fact that this is a

popular area for tourists happening at 8:30 sunday night makes it sound like it was not very crowded at the time. bob redell for "today in the bay." meantime, a daredevil surfer how nearly died while surfing at half-moon bay a week ago is alive and beating the odds. jacob trette was pummeled by a massive wave, and this morning the "today" show has the exclusive interview. marlaal ez has a preview of what he'll say coming up later on. >> reporter: brent, he's come a long way in a short amount of time. it was just nine days ago that jacob trette almost drowned by getting knocked by two giant waves at mavericks. today he's recovering at his participants' home in orange county. later this morning the "today" show will interview him and his frigid friend who was with him in the water. it was saturday the 22nd when the surfer was trapped under water by two successive 25-foot waves. he was found floating face down and airlifted to stanford

medical center initially listed in critical condition. he spent three days in a medically-induced coma. then he came to. and now he's out of the hospital. it was only trette's second time surfing at the infamous maverick site known for the big annual wave surfing competition. his first time being just a day before on that friday, the 21st. his friend who was surfing with his described the conditions when the accident happened. >> maverick in and of itself is a very unusual wave. it is not like any other wave. it can be unpredictable, and certainly that did it was unpredictable. the current was going the wrong direction. that day incidentally it was pushing people more towards the north. >> reporter: again, you can catch the full interview with trette and his friend coming up at the "today" show starting at 7:00. as for the maverick surfing competition, it could be canceled this year because of a lack of big waves at the site. so if the swell does not come by the end of february the competition will be canceled.

brent? >> a few more weeks. thank you. 6:52. one of the americans longest-lasting allies in the middle east is in trouble this morning. the egyptian president hosni mubarak is hanging on to power by a thread. this morning the obama administration is not really tipping its hand or lending a lot of support. "today in the bay's" tracie potts is live from washington, d.c., with an inside look at what's happening this morning. tracie? >> reporter: brent, good morning to you. america is trying to hold on to the long-time allie, but they want to let the protestors know that when the people demand change the government should listen. now, you talked about mubarak, we understand this morning his family may be in london as the violent protests continue. we have seen lot looting and all sorts of violence in the streets of cairo and in other areas of egypt as well. the u.s. government, the embassy there, is trying to get americans out. we understand that the first

flight, the first plane loaded of evacuees, american citizens, has arrived in s cyprus. thousands are believed to be trapped in egypt right now. one of the complications is cell phone and internet service sblupted interrupted by the government trying to disconnect communications among the protestors, but that means a lot of americans have been unable to find out if their families are safe. the u.s. government as you said walking a bit of a tightrope as they watch this situation unfold. >> all right. we are watching it as well. thank you for the update there. now, one part of the protest in egypt could have been a disaster of historic proportions. >> on friday people broke into cairo's egyptian museum. they climbed over walls and looted the museum gift shop. they did do some damage to artifacts display cases but didn't steal any actual

artifacts. almost the entire second floor of the hue seam is home to priceless items from the days of king tut. the head of egyptian's antique department said i'm glad the people were idiots. thank god they thought the museum shop was the museum. >> good thing. think about that, that could have been -- you can't restore that kind of stuff. well, certainly the problems in egypt are causing concern on the world's oil supply. >> scott mcgrew is joining us. the thing is egypt doesn't produce that much oil. >> reporter: know, about 1/2 of what saudi arabia does. any influence on oil is more about geography. a lot of tanker traffic passed through the suez canal. that has oil speculators speculating this morning. and that the unrest could spread to other middle eastern countries. you remember this didn't start in egypt. it started in tunisia and spread to egypt. and now protests in the sudan as well. on friday the markets were much lower. the dow industrials fell better than 1.5% on concern over egypt.

this morning markets are trading a little higher. the dow industrial is up 41 points. the nasdaq is up eight. exxon mobil turned in nice profits. intel will contribute $200 million to the startup american partnership. this is something president obama was pushing. intel will help to stimulate the economy in this way. thank you, scott. we have a new superman this morning. >> the guy who will stand for truth in the american justice way this time around -- >> i thought it was mike inouye, but it is not. 27-year-old henry will play superhero in the movie scheduled to come out next year called "man of steel." he's best known for his role on the showtime series. two of america's most iconic superheroes will be portrayed by british actors. christian bale will be back to

my second diagnosis-- i was told to go home, retire, and enjoy the time i had left. to say it was a shock is just a complete understatement. i mean, i don't think there are words. she had put up a really good fight, but it was her time. you... don't have a choice of getting breast cancer. i had no choice. i wanted to do something bigger than myself. that 3-day gave me that opportunity. and i can actually do something to help. i think it's a very bold thing to do. 60 miles in 3 days-- i can do that. i'm sure if it was 100 miles, we'd still walk it. it was a big statement for me of... (voice breaks) i'm alive.
