6:02 am
>> good morning, marlin ark. now that it's turning to daylight you can see exactly where the boat capsized. the rear of it is still sticking out there this morning. that's where three fishermen were tossed into the ocean overnight. coast guard telling me the water was about 55 degrees. they are safe now but what a night. their commercial fishing boat collapsed near the cliff house. they sent out a mayday call at 12:30 a.m. they were clinging to the side of the boat. they were able to deploy a life raft and take some measures to make sure the boat would not sink by sealing up part of it so it wouldn't take honor what. by 1:a.m. the coast guard says they had them all out of the water. now there's concern about 00 gallons of diesel fuel the boat was carrying and getting the boat out of the water. >> we can only eliminate the substantial threat of discharge by safest means possible. if that includes towing the vessel inshore and then doing
6:03 am
it, that's what we will do. if we can assess it out here, we'll remove the pollution out here. >> the coast guard says this was a crab boat that had 27 though crabs on it. 80 of them were full and the weight shifted. they think that's what may have caused it to tip oemplt two of the men still resting this morning. one tape to the hospital for observation and treated for possible hypothermia. when it gets a little lighter out the coast guard going to be doing a flyover looking for a possible sheen on the water. coming up in about 30 minutes, you'll hear from one of the men who was on board when the boat went down. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> scary night. thank you, christie. coast guard pulled another man near the bay from the san mateo bridge. take a look. this happened yesterday morning around 7:15. a 21-year-old man ended up in the water. the coast guard said he jumped
6:04 am
from the bridge. someone driving on the san mateo bridge saw him and called 911. it took crews about 45 minutes to get to him but they were able to get him out of the water. a market owner in fairfield is dead this morning after he was robbed last night. fairfield police say they received a call from the market owner asking for help. emergency crews responded and they found a man on the ground. the victim told officers three suspects had taking back our neighborhoods him inside his store. he was taken to a hospital where he died from his injuries. witnesses reported seeing three black men in their late teens enter the store at the time of the robbery. this morning police are looking into a spree of robberies in san jose. there were four robberies all over the south bay and less than 16 hours. they happened in all parts of san jose from valley fair mall to little saigon. officers say the robberies range from gunshot to grab and go. one man robbed at knifepoint on blossom hill road feet away from
6:05 am
the reese family's doorstep. >> even on a busy street, kind of scary something like that would happen. a side street or alley, you might expect that but not on blossom hill road. >> san jose have not made arrests in any of these robberies. they don't think the robberies are connected. 6:05. we're a step closer to getting a state budget. governor jerry brown is expected to sign the budget plan today, just a few days before it's supposed to go into effect. both houses approved the plan last night with little debate. the budget was worked out between governor brown and democratic lawmakers who have enough votes to pass the budget without republican support. the new budget eliminates a $26 billion deficit through deep cuts but no tax increases. however, students at uc and cal state schools will likely see more tuition increases because of the plan. the budget slices mean a total loss of $650 million for each school system. more delays on a vote to
6:06 am
upgrade san francisco's communications network. for a third time the board of sups have voted to delay a plan on at&t's plan to install hundreds of network boxes. it wants a hearing on how the devices fit within city construction guidelines. each 4 foot tall box includes technology which would improve internet, cable, land line within the city. opponents of the plan say boxes would obstruct pedestrian traffic, inconvenience property owners and visually they are an eyesore. a new vote is scheduled for next month. 6:06. if you want to set off legal fireworks in the bay area this fourth of july, you only have a few options where you can do so. just a dozen cities in the bay area in santa cruz county will let you buy and use fireworks that don't explode or leave the ground. can you buy and use fireworks in these following cities. san bruno, parveg, a, union city, newark, dublin, gilroy,

6:08 am
elevations. it's going to continue to move out of here. as it does so, high pressure moving in fast. temperatures today on the cool side, in fact, below our seasonal averages, will climb into the 80s and 90s as of tomorrow. so cool today, much warmer tomorrow. i think for the first part of the day, next couple of hours before noon we'll see residual shower activity. highs in the 60s and 70s. as we head through tomorrow and especially friday, saturday, sunday, our temperatures climb. by friday we're also expecting triple digits in the east bay, 90s in the south bay. san francisco a hot one for you frei, saturday, and sunday. 80 degree weather we could hit 90 in the city of san francisco on sunday. very unusual to have these big-time changes coming into play so fast. 72 degrees today, up to 98 degrees on sunday. what a difference a few days will make around here and always what a difference a few minutes make on the road. let's check that with mike right now.
6:09 am

6:14 am
alameda cannot fair in full swing and families are enjoying rides, music and food. bob redell is live with an attempt to make a very big burger. >> good morning, marla. i'm on board the world's largest barbecue. when you've got a setup this large, why not try to attempt to cook the world's largest hamburger. the two gentlemen leading that effort are brett and nick. you're trying this saturday. i see you have this rig here. how are you going to pull this off? do you think it will work? >> you obviously start with the world's largest barbecue. we've developed this here and on saturday we're going to attempt to pack 600 pounds of fresh ground meat and make the world's largest hamburger. >> that's at 7:00 a.m. it's on top of the grill. you've got this so you can flip it. how do you keep it from falling out, all that meat.

we picked up an inch of rain in the north bay in oakland. half an inch of rain even in san jose. as a result today our air quality is good. can you breathe it in. a lot of that pollen was laid down by the showers that came down pretty much all day long all the way through the evening hours. this is what we're left with, beautiful clearing skies. a really nice day to make outdoor plans. bring a jacket with you, because our temperatures which are right now in the 50s are only going to be able to climb 10 degrees. 51 in san mateo, 54 in san francisco. 54 in oakland. what is very interesting this morning, we have uniform numbers, very rare with all the micro climates here. that's because of the cloud cover overnight, tracked in heat yesterday we did accumulate, served as a blanket. this morning relatively uniform numbers. same degree, same temperature in gilroy you find in the city, rarely see that. clouds continue to pump in. that system moving out. by this afternoon, mostly cloudy
6:20 am

6:21 am
6:23 am
6:24 am

6:26 am
raise $2 billion in its initial offering of stock. our folks at cnbc, who work on the other side of the newsroom, report they could file paperwork later this morning. they have farmville making money off players who buy things like virtual cows. homeaway.com which helps you rent a house or apartment use also getting ready to sell symptomwa they are trading under away. at the price they are selling it would make the website a fourth the size of hewlett-packard. sacramento figures in in an unexpected way. all that money makes taxes. they don't have capital gains like the fed does but is considered income and tax thad way. this frothy moneymaking on wall street is a major part of the money sacramento is counting on to balance the budget. when we talk about them making or anticipating more tax money,
6:27 am
it's not because people are going back to work necessarily, or getting raises because nobody is get a raise, it's because so many people are making money on the stock market and that's where a lot of that money will come from. >> and the state capital benefits. >> yes, hopefully. >> thanks, scott. 6:26. as scott mentioned the budget, we'll continue coverage with a live report from sacramento. the coast guard pulls a man from the sea overnight. scue coming up.

6:32 am
in fact, we might see more cuts to spending in california if these increased tax revenues that lawmakers are depending on don't materialize. they were here until late last night, after 9:00 p.m., still deliberating, still trying to keep redevelopment agencies from being eliminated. the budget passed by democrats and lacked republican support only needed a majority vote to pass. does away with a $10 billion deficit but also hinges on $4 billion in revenue from what lawmakers say will be strong tax receipts in the coming months. we just heard about that a minute ago. people doing better in the stock market. if their gamble doesn't pay off, there will be more automatic cuts particularly to education. perhaps even a shorter school year, shorter by seven days for school children across the state. back out here already governor brown talking about ways to raise revenues in the future. you remember he was not successful in persuading
6:33 am

6:34 am
we want to go a little above that by 20 to 2. knowing we're going six a month, worst case scenario for a year. for me i'll take it. >> with the deficit, they are pushing for funds being spent on social programs instead of adding more cops. a market owner dead after being robbed last night. they received a call for help. emergency crews responded. when they arrived they found a man on the ground. the victim told officers three suspects had attacked him inside his store. he was taken to a hospital where he died from his injuries. witnesses reported seeing three black males in their late teens enter the store at the time of the robbery. 6:34, we are following developing news from san francisco where a commercial fishing boat capsized off the coast overnight.

"today in the bay's" tracie potts is live in washington. tracie at issue is whether the drug works for breast cancer patients. >> absolutely. the answer seems to be it works very well for some and there are big concerns for a lot of others. there are a number of women the industry calls super responders. they respond well when they have breast cancer. the studies found for a lot of women it doesn't prolong life and can cause internal bleeding. it's been linked to
6:44 am
complications like high blood pressure. for that reason the fda no longer wants to approve use of this drug for breast cancer. it's approved for a lot of other cancers. they want to take away the approval for breast canners. that's what the hearing is about today. it was recommended five out of six members of this panel who are present at the hearing today voted to take it off the marked last year but that wasn't the final say. a number of women say they have got to have it and if it's not approved then insurance won't pay for it, even though it can still be used off label because it's an fda approved drug insurance won't pay for it. the drug costs some $88,000 a year, marla. >> tracie potts live in washington, thank you. 6:44, soon we're going to find out if it's safe to go in the water at your favorite beach pt natural resources defense council will issue their annual beach water quality report this morning. the report will reveal which beaches have pollution problems and which ones tested clean.
