good morning, thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. christina loren is live in napa this morning where the weather is always beautiful. good morning. >> good morning to you. yeah, the weather particularly beautiful this morning. let me step out of the way here. ladies, feast your eyes on this this morning. these young, attractive men are here providing tiki music for your forecast. let's get right to it this morning. a gorgeous day on tap. upper 70s. we are looking at a cold start, fog at the coast. make sure you are aware of that if you are heading out the front door. thick fog this morning. later on, high pressure is going to clear the skies, warm us up to the upper 70s. boy oh boy, it's not going to get more tranquil than this.

this will put you in an eased mood before you hit the highway this morning. let's find out what's going on on the highway this morning. hey, miky. the flow of traffic, we have slower speeds. 20s in antioch. it's from l street over to somersville and loveridge for the bulk of the commute. that's a typical start. the altamont, we'll see slowing. so far, the maze approach to the bay bridge is fine. all the way on the right side, slowing to the golden gate bridge. we have clouds drifting in the area as well. it might affect your commute. so far, it's moving smoothly. back to you. >> thank you very much. teachers, parents and students are hitting the pavement in an all-day protest to bring pressure to stop cuts

in education. christie smith is live with more on the protest. ift's a day long event. >> reporter: good morning to you. i hate to say it. i think the teachers are tardy. they were supposed to be here at 6:00. they are on the way. bottom line is what they want is for lawmakers to extend temporary taxes. they are going to be here for 12 hours on and off before and after school. in between time, they are going to have others out here helping out like labor groups and parents. they not only want to extend the temporary taxes, but emphasize the local impacts of state cuts on schools. this leads up to a week long campaign that starts next week. what they are calling the state of emergency. united teachers of richmond are saying they have already been hit hard by $18 billion in cuts to education funding over three years. a new all cuts budget would mean

$4 billion more in losses that they can't handle. class sizes have already shot up. 80 educators could get pink slips before the end of this school year. again, we are expecting the teachers out here any minute now. parents and labor groups helping out as well. they will be out here 12 hours. reporting live, near richmond, christie smith, today in the bay. >> you are right. they are tardy. we'll check back in a moment. we want to check in with marla tellez. she has dell tails on the raid that killed osama bin laden. >> good morning. this morning, the cia analysts are pouring over tons of information that was seized on bin laden's compound. the raid took about 40 minutes. navy s.e.a.l.s used that time to grab intelligence from the compound. they found hard drives, dvds and flash drives. they will find out if the number

two man will take over for bin laden. >> he is the brain trust. i'm wondering where he is now and i'm wondering when we're going to get him. >> there's concern about how and when al qaeda may strike back. also questions about the united states relationship with pakistan including did its government know bin laden was hiding blocks away from a military academy? back here at home, hundreds of jobs are on the line. san jose tries to deal with a $115 million deficit according to the city manager. she's suggesting 200 police officers, 54 firefighters and 300 city worker positions be eliminated. other cuts include the demotion of 200 city employees. reduction of library services and hours. increase in park fees. the city says the situation will be worse if the 11 unions do not agree to a 10% pay cut.

so far, only four unions are on board. the fifth one is in negotiations. it is a similar story in santa clara county facing hundreds of layoffs and a reduction in services. the county's top administrator released the budget for the fiscal year. he wants to cut 534 positions to save $75 million. more than $2 million cut from social services. two sheriff's patrols would be eliminated saving $600,000. 47 positions at the elmwood jail and juvenile justice department would be cut. the county board is expected to vote next month. as we all know, this is a similar situation going on in so many counties and cities throughout the bay area. >> even households as well, thank you, marla. >> it's time to talk a little bit of travel. we are approaching the season to explore. a bay area city is hailed as the

road construction area. it's closed from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. it will be cleared for the morning commute and the evening commute. >> it will be nice when it's all done. thanks so much. local kids are getting a nice guarantee, aren't they, marla? >> yes, they are. an interesting program here. thousands of eighth graders in san francisco are being promised the college experience if they graduate from middle school. the city along with the school district and san francisco state university partnered on this program known as sf promise. it guarantees admission to the university if they meet academic goals and graduate. program officials say sf state is slashing $32 million from the budget but there will always be room for students. the first class guaranteed a spot is the class of 2015.

san francisco's newest police chief took his first action on the job cutting the pay for the top people. he's giving back his cost of living pay increase. he cut the salaries of top police officials saving the department $60,000 a year. in a cost cutting move, he eliminated the assistant chief position, renaming it deputy chief. the actions are not a result of employee performance but a simple way to save money. never fun to take a pay cut, but at least the boss is taking some sort of pay cut, too. laura. >> thank you very much. can you be arrested for tweeting the results of an election? scott mcgrew says in canada you can. >> if you do it before the polls close. canada conducted an election and i'm sure you were following it closely.

stephen harper won for prime minister. results were given on the eastern side of the country before the west. people on the west might not bother to vote if they know their candidate won or lost. we have a huge population in the west, california counts in our elections far more than british columbia or the uconn in canada. sony's play station was hacked. now, the other network, sony online entertainment has also been hacked. credit card numbers did get loose. okay, this isn't a news story, just an interesting idea. remember the guy from pakistan live tweeting the attack of osama bin laden. he's tweeting pictures now.
