no major issues. it's opposite the main commute. a vehicle was blocking the left lane toward 680. 680 moves slowly off the bridge. if you are using the parks, check the website to get the latest on that. we are looking at the carquinez bridge through hercules. we'll follow that and i'll let you know the latest. just an 18 minute drive off the bridge, across the bay to the bay bridge. a look at the toll plaza. clear view, you can see the east shore freeway with clouds hanging out. fog not an issue. clearly, heat is going to be a factor. coming up northbound with the headlights, this the 880, the nimitz freeway. no slowing around the san mateo bridge. the volume is light in the south bay.

pg&e wants to increase rates and change the way customers are charged. under the plan, those who use less electricity would pay more. pg&e says it wants to make it fair for everybody by creating an across the board fee. the public utilities commission is going to decide if they can change the rate structure later this month. >> an ipad app that was supposed to save the industry doesn't save money. does that mean it's a failure? >> i don't know about a failure. the daily, it looks great and is fun to read. the parent company says -- this is the same company that owns my space and wall street journal says the app lost $10 million over the quarter. yes, the very first quarter for the daily -- we should wait maybe a year before drawing conclusions about how successful

it is. 800 people subscribe to the daily. it's twice the size of a newspaper. sony updated the hack attack. the company claims a group called anonymous may be behind the hack that knocked the play station network offline and exposed millions of people's personal information. a confederation of internet activists that skewer companies they are unhappy with. they are protesting the church of scientology. they attacked sony's website to protest the lawsuit against a hacker that had nothing to do against the attack. playing detective, just a personal observation -- it's not their m.o. they don't steal credit card information, general. they play a lot of games. it seems unlikely they would

up. the strike officially starts at 7:00. we are talking with some of the nurses. what people need to know is that under this proposal that the hospital is offering, it would make it tough for their own families to get care at the hospital that they work at. that's what's driving them out to the picket line. what amounts to $4,000 they say in reduced employer covered health care. the nurses say the walk out could include up to 800 registered nurses hitting the picket line. the contract with the hospital and the nurse's union expired last may. they say it forced a quick three-day walk out. now, five days. they don't want to, but they have to. >> it's going to make it expensive for us to bring our own children to children's. the health plan they are cutting allows the nurse her choice of doctor and allows her to bring her kids to this hospital.

we give great care and should be able to give it to our own kids. >> reporter: i just got off the phone with the hospital spokesperson and they say the hospital is facing the same economic trouble's everyone is. they are offering an employer cade kaiser hmo. they have hired staff to fill in. it will be business as usual for those who need care. elective procedures will be postponed they say. they are telling me the good news is that they have heard talks will continue after the strike is concluded. reporting live in oakland, christie smith, today in the bay. >> thank you much. marla tellez is in the news room with a look at the stories making news headlines including a visit by president obama to ground zero. >> that is happening later.

after watching their home go up in flames. the fast moving fire ripped through the park hotel on folsom near sixth street. the hotel may be destroyed all together. people who live there thought the evacuation was a drill. >> as i was leaving the building, i heard other tenants yelling it's real, it's real. bang bang bang, it's real. >> all my clothes, everything. my computer. all my tools. >> the fire damaged four buildings before crews put out the flames. one firefighter was taken to the hospital for smoke inhilation. people who live in the hotel think it started with a barbecue. seven men will be in court charged with the murder of a german tourist visiting san francisco. the woman was in the city celebrating her 50th birthday when she got caught in a gun

battle between two gangs. after a long investigation, police gathered enough evidence to charge four men with her murder. three others will face accessory charges. they are still looking for an eighth suspect. another police officer in trouble with the law connected to the alleged dirty cop scandal. a san ramon officer is accused of aiding and abetting conspiracy and grand theft. they were suspicious of him after he appeared in an nbc bay area news exclusive in march. in the video, he's part of an undercover infidelity scream. they allegedly sold drugs from police lockers. people across the bay area will be celebrating cinco de mayo. police agencies are warning people because they are going to be watching.

they canceled the official cinco de mayo parade. the officers know bars and restaurants are offering drinks and prices off this cinco de mayo weekend. they want to make sure no one breaks the law. i have seen several people come out of the county jail in the last hour alone. it's the walk of shame. no one is proud to be walking out of jail. a lady said she was embarrassed because she was in there for a drinking violation. i have been in the drunk tank as a reporter. it's dark, smelly and it's not comfortable at all. if you have to spend a couple nights there, you don't know who you might end up bunking up with. stay at home if you are going to drink. get a designated driver or a cab. live at the main jail, i'm damian trujillo, today in the bay. >> thank you, great advice. 5:38 now.
