message to the united states. we'll have the very latest coming up. plus, how much is your vote worth? we are going to tell you how much meg whitman spent trying to get yours. good tuesday morning. thank you for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm brent cannon. straight up at 5:00 we want to get you started on your day getting you a look at your forecast with christina. good morning to you. if you like what we had in store for you last week, you'll like this week. more sunshine, abnormally warm temperatures for this time of the year, and we are starting out mild in some cities. hayward is at 51 degrees. 39 degrees, meanwhile, in napa. 39 in fairfield. we have really dense fog in the east bay and north bay this morning. you want to give yourself plenty of time if you are waking up in the east bay hills, in particular, where we have less than a quarter mile of visibility. and in livermore we are also starting to see your visibility

reduced here. take it easy out there. high pressure is going to bring our temperatures up towards that 70-degree mark as we head later into this week. we'll talk about that coming up. right now we'll go back to you. day eight of unrest in egypt. tens of thousands of protestors are on the city streets again calling for president hosni mubarak to resign. egypt's military now has a strong presence in the street. look at the number of people turning out. they say they will not use force against the protestors. nearly 100 people have died since those protests began last week. the internet is still cut off for a third day. protestors are trying to use that to organize the march they want of a million people to march in cairo, and they have a big crowd going already. meanwhile, the u.s. continues to try to get americans out of the country. this was the scene at the cairo airport this morning. hundreds of foreigners are stranded there. the u.s. state department says thousands of u.s. citizens in egypt might have to be

evacuated, and that could take several days. so the u.s. government has chartered some planes to fly americans out, but they say any americans who take those chartered flights are going to have to foot the bill. and they will be taken to europe. once they are there they have to make their own travel arrangements out of europe. the city of san jose is expected to decide on its new police chief today, but this election hasn't been without controversy. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live outside of city hall this morning joining us with the very latest. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning, laura. this will be controversial in the eyes of some in san jose because they don't believe acting police chief chris moore can improve relations between the minorities and the sjpd. some activists demand that when the city council meets later this morning they also need to consider oakland's police chief anthony batts. that's something mayor chuck reed said will not happen. the selection process of coming

up with a new police chief has been followed. debra figoti will present this in a closed session at city hall at 9:00 this morning. then they will vote yes or no to chris moore's approval. this is approval he's expected to receive. moore is a highly-educated 29-year member of the force. despite the credentials, members of the coalition of justice say he won't change the culture of the department leading to accusations of unfair treatment of latinos, african and asian-americans and those with men call illnesses. they argue for chief batts instead in part because he would bring an outsider's perspective. he was in the running for the job that would make him the first african-american police chief. that was until last week when the city manager indicated she had settled on moore. reporting live outside san jose city hall, bob redell, "today in the bay." a couple of san jose police

officers are going to be recognized later on this morning for their service in the line of duty. officer frank hagg and nicholas bronte will be honored by the police association starting at 7:30 this morning. they arrested several gang members in december that police believe were moments away from carrying out a drive-by shooting. the same officers also arrested a murder suspect in east san jose last month within minutes of another shooting. 5:04 right now. the napa hospital patient accused of assaulting a therapist last month will return to the courtroom today. 24-year-old sean boche will be finding out where he'll be housed and treated after a judge declared him incompetent to stand trial. he was charged for assaulting 60-year-old george anderson. he could be treated in a menial health hospital for up to three years. if he is still inxi tent then the judge could dismiss the case. the los all toast school district is asking voters to

approve paying more than $200 per year for schools. if voters approve parcel taxes will go up to $800 for the next six years. supporters say it will bring in more than $2 million a year. if the tax is not passed they say it could affect school class sizes and other programs. a protest in downtown san francisco this morning. california patients, nurses and supporters will march in front of blue shield headquarters to protest the insurance giant's costly rate hikes. blue shield plans to implement the 59% rate hike in exactly one month. the company has already raised rates twice since october. patients will share a personal story at the rally to drive home the financial impact of the proposed rate hikes. nurses will call for greater transparency and accountability from blue shield. the protest gets going at 11:00 in san francisco's financial district. another rally is set for san francisco today as people try to fight to save kusf radio.

supporters will rally at city hall during the board of supervisors meeting at 1:00 this morning. the board will vote on whether or not to start changes for the station. protestors rally against the back-door sale of kusf's radio station. the school's president sold the station to media intercom for $3.7 million as students were away on winter break. san francisco police are getting ready to enforce the city's controversial sit lie law this morning. the controversial rule makes it illegal to sit or lie on public sidewalks between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. it went into effect officially in december but police decided not to open force it until today. they say they want to send officers to a training program first to make sure they understood the law and enforce it fairly. san francisco could also become the first city in the country to control the way that the yellow pages are delivered.

the board of supervisors will talk about the idea today. an estimated 1.5 million yellow page phone books are handed out in san francisco every year, but they say they often end up on doorsteps and in lobbies and all over city sidewalks. so in an effort to improve the environment the san francisco supervisors could order customers get those phonebooks get those directly. under the new proposal yellow pages representatives need to get delivery permission in advance. the law would be enforced by the city's department of environment and violators could face up to $500 in fines per violence. a bit of hollywood is coming to san francisco. the city will be used as a backdrop for the film "hemingway and gill horn." the buildings make it ideal for world war ii erieiiera shots.

>> it is crazy at our house, christina. we don't get out much. we are looking really good this morning in terms of temperatures, but we have a hard time seeing places in the east bay and north bay that are socked in with heavy fog. take it easy out there. the fog is now drifting along the peninsula, especially the areas over water. all the bridges have some pretty thick fog this morning. so keep that in mind. that could probably slow you down this morning. you don't want to go racing out the front door with dangerous conditions on the roadways. heading lout this afternoon our temperatures will climb towards 60 degrees. high pressure firmly in control of our weather pattern taking the storm track well off to our north. but what's happening is this ridge of high pressure is dropping in from the gulf of alaska. so it is actually carrying some cool air with it. that means for the next couple of days we'll only see the 60s as the warm air starts to mix into the area thursday, friday

and saturday. we are talking about the 70s. here's what we are seeing today. 60 for napa and oakland. the remainder of the week is a warm up. 69 degrees by friday. 70 for your saturday. lots of sunshine this weekend. getting and staying warm all the way to next week where we have a really strong ridge here keeping things abnormally warm. and they are really getting hit hard with the opposite on the east coast. we are getting the best of both worlds this morning. back to you guys. there's a snowstorm that's moving from new england to chicago that we have been keeping our eye on. it is really threatening to dump some record snow in the area. one of the hardest hit could be chicago. >> chicago is very cold during the winter, but now they are bracing for 20 inches of snow today. and lawrence is live for us this morning in chicago. it looks really cold right now, and i understand that you are going to get even more. >> reporter: yeah, it is really cold right now. i heard your meteorologist say

extremely icy as well. it is definitely a dangerous situation for those plans planning to be on the roads this afternoon and tonight. >> if you ever want to book a flight, 70 degrees might sound tempting. thank you, lauren. the time is 5:22. coming up, mike has what you need to know before heading out the door this morning. plus, celebrities are joining the fight to free two berkeley hikers from iran. and the health department is now trying to figure out exactly what caused a teacher to get sick and his students are at risk. he's great looking

cameras are saving lives and getting people to slow down well before they hit the intersection. they say red light cameras reduced fatal red light accidents by 24% between the years 2004 and 2008. but a drivers' rights group totally disagree with all this saying that the effectiveness just isn't there and that these red light cameras can increase crashes. their research shows another way to keep people safe is just lengthening yellow lights so that people can take their time, slow down well before they get to the intersection. that's the latest from here. reporting i've in berkeley, christie smith, "today in the bay." a state appeals court is ruling that the city of san francisco is not responsible for the deaths of a father and his two sons by a man believed to be a gang member and an illegal immigrant. police believe edwin is an

to get out before this chaos gets worse. for today, though, it appears more than a million people demonstrating peacefully. the military honoring its pledge not to fire on them, not to interfere. organizers are calling for an even bigger protest on friday. live in washington, brian mooar, laura, back to you. thank you, brian. >> meantime there's a new terror warning from the country's top banks. security officials say al qaeda is targeting financial institutions. the fbi and local law enforcement are now meeting with bankers to brief them on this threat. reports say that the names of top bank executives were discussed by terror operatives. however, top security leaders also say right now there is no specific threat. they just want to be safe. the time is 5:44. good morning, everybody. thank you for joining us. i'm brent cannon. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. we'll get you weather and traffic in two minutes. >> but first, the first day of february marks a big day for

launching a first of its kind national campaign. it is called "make the call don't miss a beat." this means at the first sign of a heart attack call 911. so here's a look at the symptoms. number one, discomfort in the center of your chest which lasts more than a few minutes or that goes away and then comes back. two, general discomfort or pain in the arm, neck, jaw or stomach. shortness of breath. also if you break in a cold sweat and feel nauseous or lightheaded, don't hesitate to call 911. it could mean the difference between life and death. now, when it comes to prevention, it is simple. remember your abcs. that's avoid tobacco, become more active and choose good nutrition. doing so will help you maintain a healthy weight which is also important. here's a tidbit. friday is national wear red day. show your support of heart health and support some red. >> we'll do.

we want to check the forecast with christina. make a note of it, wear red. >> we are doing a fashion show on friday to support women's heart health. i have paid close attention to all the pointers. i'm sure all the women did. dense fog, a cold start this morning. we have some really dense fog drifting around the bay area just because it doesn't confront you when you walk out the front door doesn't mean you won't encounter it on the way to work. don't go racing out that door. a mild afternoon with plentiful sunshine. and then a gradual warm up starts today, but it is really going to kick into high gear as we head into thursday. that was geena. hi there. we have a big ridge of high pressure firmly in control of the weather pattern to keep things nice and mild, but first it is going to bring cold air into the bay area as we head through tonight and tomorrow. temperatures are only going to struggle to reach 60 degrees. but after all, that cold air mixes out and we'll be left with lots of sunshine for the rest of the week with temperatures finally climbing to the

70-degree mark once again. 60 degrees in san francisco. 61 in redwood city. 60 degrees today in napa. hey, have you been meaning to get to napa? we have a reason for you to do so. you can win a free trip for two to napa. all you have to do is log on to nbcbayarea.com. click the contest button and you and your fiance, your significant other, your wife will get free lodging, a fine dining experience and a private wine tasting. so it is actually a really cool opportunity. you've got this week and next week. we'll announce the winners as we head into next week. so that's a look at what's happening in napa. hey, mike, are we blowing the fog horn this morning? we are, usually i'm blowing smock, no, i'm not. this is not a trick coming through the area where christina is talking about. the north bay, wine country, not a great view. of course there's no sunlight to show you, but there's fog making it tougher to see through napa and novato. 101 and 37, the speeds are still

okay. 101 down from highway 12 is moving smoothly down to the golden gate bridge. but highway 12 at 80 in fairfield there's a fog advisory for that portion of the north bay. here's a live look out there. we'll take a look at the interstate 880 past the oakland coliseum. a live look at traffic building. the fog is likely to affect this flow of traffic as well and many spots of the east bay. back to you guys. thank you very much. the city of san francisco will start taking steps towards becoming the first in the country to ban an american institution. the yellow pages. the superintendent david chu says in the internet age the books are obsolete. here to talk about the possible book ban is amy healy, vice president of public relations for the yellow pages. thank you for joining us, amy. >> thank you for having me, laura. >> i guess we let your mousepad do the walking. now people can opt out of receiving them. how is that going to affect you? >> we support opt out. in fact, the industry is launching a site today at

yellowpagesoptout.com. we encourage viewers to go and look at that right now. and our site, which all the publishers in san francisco and in the country are participating in, it wouldn't cost the state of san francisco any resources. so it is important. >> i understand that the san francisco environment says just to dispose of the yellow books that people sometimes don't want is $750,000 a year. on the flip side it has to be expensive for yellow pages to send them out as well. >> well, certainly. the books cost money to district, so if somebody doesn't want one, our publishers don't want to spend the money to print and make and distribute to them. we want to get the books into the hands of those to use them. and thousands of san francisco small businesses rely on directories to promote and grow their business. >> so it is going to hurt the small businesses. >> we absolutely believe so. i mean, to fundamentally cut off a prime advertising vehicle for small businesses, especially in

this time, we think it is unwise. >> well, yellow pages, yellowpagesoptout.com is the website. thank you. the federal bedbug work groups second national summit will look at the recent resurgent of the pesky pets and exam ways the government can help to control them. although bedbugs and their bites are a nuisance they don't spread disease. the conference is open to the public in washington, d.c. a grim state of the state address from governor jerry brown, and this morning everyone is feeling the impact regardless of your income level. you will likely feel the pinch. governor brown admits balancing the budget will be painful. california is facing an estimated $25 billion budget deficit. the governor is proposing $12.5 billion in cuts an additionally $12 billion in taxes that has to be approved by voters in june.
