dying down but boy, the damage is done for the morning. good morning. thanks for joining us. it is 5:00 now. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> good morning. i'm jon kelley. we can tell you there is no b.a.r.t. service between the east bay and san francisco. this is all the result of a three-alarm fire at seventh and mandela, an apartment building under construction burning next to west oakland b.a.r.t. station where christie smith is joining us live giving us the details on a big time snarl there to shut down b.a.r.t. good morning, christie. >> reporter: good morning. firefighters have finally stopped spraying water on the fire from where we're standing in the parking lot of the west oakland b.a.r.t. station. the building that was on fire is across the street. this is the senior center. when they got here it was a shell of a building, about four stories, on fire. you can see it's burned down to one. but it was a lot of radiant heat, big flames and you can see the b.a.r.t. station, the

tracks, are right across the street. that impacted the b.a.r.t. tracks. with us is jim, spokesman for b.a.r.t. let's see what he has to say because b.a.r.t. service is impacted. >> days, weeks, months until trains run? >> we don't know know. no service until further notice until we do a damage assessment. so we're still in the process of doing that, but again, if people need to get across the bay this morning, find a different way to do so. ac transit, ferries or a ride across the bay bridge with friends. >> jim, this is a major disruption. 370,000 people ride b.a.r.t. >> 370,000 people ride every week day, about 50,000 of those use b.a.r.t. to get across the bay in the morning so that's about the same amount that use the bay bridge. so this is a major hit to the transportation structure in san francisco and the east bay. >> what kind of a bus bridge are you able to set up or anything?

the question sb a bus bridge. >> we have not been able to establish the bus bridge. ac transit has transbay bus service, it's an excellent service, ferries. right now we're trying to get buses to get a bus bridge. my advice to people is find a different way f. they use b.a.r.t., find a different way this morning. >> jim, you said that people going from richmond to fremont or from sfo to embarcadero along the peninsula should be fine. >> the good news is that the richmond to fremont line is not affected. we're still running trains in east bay so all of the east bay stations are connected to each other, all the san francisco peninsula stations are connected to each other. we can't get across the bay which of course is our bread and butter in the morning commute. >> that was jim alison with b.a.r.t., major problem this morning if you want to use b.a.r.t. you can ride it at least in the east bay and san francisco. the problem is the transbay, the

crossing there, which is the popular one, it's out of service indefinitely. so we'll keep an eye on things and check back in with you in about 30 minutes. reporting live, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> we heard about the flames spreading to the neighboring areas. any b.a.r.t. station tracks affected by that? >> reporter: as far as he's telling us the main impact is here at the west oakland station. the covering of the third rail, the electric third rail, is burned this morning. and it's visible from the street. so not a lot of impact in terms of damage to other stations but here at west oakland, this is the station, the way that you cross into the city. you can't get through here. so this is a huge impact. >> thank you. we'll keep checking back with you. let's check on mike inouye and the roads out there. obviously affecting the commute to work. >> they don't have official

alternate plan. you can use ac transit through the b.a.r.t. system, on the maps, just off of 880 near the west oakland b.a.r.t. station we have that at mandela. between oakland and the san francisco side, meanwhile t roadways are looking pretty light now but the number jim gave us, the same number use the b.a.r.t. system to travel under the bay as over the bay bridge so this could potentially double the traffic on a thursday. that would be horrible for that route. we'll track the roads. right now they are fine. san mateo and the richmond bridges to the south and north respectively are your alternate as well. no transbay service butna what m said as well, between richmond and freount y're okay for tha wel as dublin w pleasanton stion.o the west oakland you're cut off under the water. on the wednesday wednesday side

you're okay. some fks will head to the u.s. open aton t peninsula you're okay getting to the colma b.a.r.t. station. if not drive there to get on one of the lines or head to the peninsula and cake caltrain up. colma and candle stick are the way to the shuttle as well. back to you. >> what a morning. another developing story, one person is dead, one fighting for life and another injured after an overnight shooting at a san francisco playground. officers say all three were shot at the silver terrace play ground west of 101/280 interchange. so far police have not released information about possible suspects or a motive. we'll bring you updates throughout the morning. >> a san francisco couple under acrest charged with shooting and killing a man they say was pimping their daughter.

calvin snead was found shot to death. the chronicle reports that two shot him to death after learning their daughter was turning tricks for him. the couple's attorney says they did not kill snead. >> construction is supposed to continue on the b.a.r.t. extension project. parts of berryessa road will be closed to traffic. crews will remove an old railroad structure. commuters are advised to take detours. the job is expected to be completed by next week. >> now to the links and a big day for the u.s. golf championship there, the u.s. open going on a day of wolf that fans have been waiting. the 112th u.s. open starting today and we have team coverage and meteorologist christina loren has a look at the forecast

out there. we start things off with marla tellez live at the olympic club. how does it look out there? >> reporter: good. a little better than yesterday in terms of the condition, not nearly as soggy or windy. so better news. the crowds during the practice rows about four rows deep so you can only imagine how packed it's going to be for round one. the first tee time is 7:00 this morning but most fans are interested in what's happening 33 minutes after that. tiger woods, phil mickelson and bubba watson are set to tee off at 7:33 a.m. it is a 449-yarder, par 4. the big three drawing most of the attention this week, batsen coming off his win at the masters, woods is going for his fourth u.s. open win and mickelson hoping for his first.

>> i think that for me personally i feel like i develop add good game plan how i want to play the golf course, i feel that i should be able to play to that plan. i don't know if it will win. >> today other tee times, davis love iii, 7:55. it is his 23rd u.s. open. vijay sync. andrew zang, the 14-year-old, the youngest to play. and casey martin, 12:o45. mcilroy is the defending champion. the odds for him to win back-to-back titles not that great. the last player won back-to-back years in 1988-89, curtis strange was able to pull that off. so it has been 23 years since

that happened. round one at 7:00 this morning. live from the u.s. open, marla tellez, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. big day of golf. >> no kidding. i want to check the forecast. >> you know, those detimes are going to dick kate the weather that these guys have to play with. in the morning we're still going to see a fair amount of fog. when the sun comes up. so foggy start, then the winds pick up. the guys teeing off in the afternoon are going to have to deal with gusty conditions. 56 to start out in sunnyvale. throughout day today, i wanted to point out on future cast for wind that we're going to increase progressively throughout the day with the strongest winds between 4:00 and 5:00, the warmest time of the day. as we hit about noon, 63, windy conditions out there. it's going be to a nice day for golf. i can tell with you wind out of the west-northwest 15 to 20

miles per hour sustained, it's going to be challenging for the guys to have a straight shot. you can catch all of the coverage here on nbc bay area. waking up inland, 82 at noon, up to 88 at noon time. 80 at 4:00 p.m. then we're talking triple digits this weekend. >> we'll stay tuned. time to raise cane, 18 on the field. matt cain now the first in franchise history to ever pitch that perfect game. >> on the ground, from deep third -- got him! that's a perfect game! >> the ballpark all jacked up. you see cain's wife in the stands there. the team mobbing cain after the historic win. this one was not easy. took nine tense innings. check out this long hit and the

catch to preserve the no-hitter. that's gregory blanco. perfect game. >> you know what, it felt like the world series but almost a little louder, crazier. every strike they were going nuts for. it was amazing. i never had that much excitement in every pitch, every swing. >> he was on fire. there have been five no-hitters already this season. this hasn't happened since 1917. that's his wife saying -- he tells his wife you've been perfect all your life. >> giant fans knew they were witnessing history. as soon as the game was over seemed like the fans didn't want to go home, they wanted to keep celebrating. standing in awe of the giants' ace. >> perfect game. i lost my voice. what can i say.

we continue to follow breaking news this morning from oakland but certainly affecting the entire bay area. this is a massive fire that broke out this morning at an apartment complex that was under construction, a retirement community. firefighters still trying to quell some flare-ups. pictures taken earlier this morning you can see the force of the flames. it could be seen from san francisco and speaking of certainly affecting it because a third rail of b.a.r.t. this morning actually at the the west oakland station, was actually burned. the cover of the third rail so. that means it has essentially shut down b.a.r.t. service from oakland to san francisco this morning. b.a.r.t. officials do not have an estimate of the damage or how long to repair it. if you are headed to san francisco this morning, transbay tube is closed. you have to find an alternate means of transportation.

and mike inouye has the latest on how this is going to affect the morning commute. 5:15 now. >> trader joe recalling more than 3,000 pounds of raw chicago thn morning. trader joe's cranberry stuffed chicken breast. the product may contain allergen ingredients not mentioned on the label. the the stuffed chicken breasts were sold in california with a use date of june 13-june 23. >> san francisco mayor ed lee sin orlando talking the tech and innovation, leading a technology task force at the conference of mayors meeting. he is expected to talk about partnership with sf city, the business group representing san francisco technology companies, he is detailing the appointment of the first chief innovation officer. >> san francisco start-up reportedly thinking about selling itself to microsoft for a cool billion dollars.

scott is joining us. that's billion with a b. >> not bad for a company that points out it has a street figure in the office. yammer a way for employees to communicate, the founder is david sax, one of the paypal guys. yammer is not saying one way or the other. venture capital firm has filed paperwork with the san francisco federal court denying charges its partner harassed a female worker after she had an intimate relationship with a married co-worker. by the time the woman brought the problem to the company's attention five years elapsed and she had a lawyer. for the negative reviews the firm says it suggested that the woman peek up and take a leading role, this according to the

court filings, which the court says is hardly negative. david cameron has finished testifying. he is the prime minister. he was dragged into the scandal after he hired the former news corp. to be his secretary. reuters calls cameron's relationship with murdoch a slow motion political disaster. >> thanks for the update. >> 5:18 now. christina loren is back talking about the weather. a lot of golf going on. mother nature may play an effect. >> we have a giants game. yes so. you can imagine traffic is not going to be fun. the weather will be nice in the city by the bay. right now we're starting out 52 in san francisco and we have fog out there. i'm monitoring the golden gate bridge. to let you know when it starts to settle in. i think it was between now and

8:30 the best chance of seeing that. the winds are going to pick up and we're going to see a nice day. 56 in sunnyvale, 51 in gilroy. throughout this afternoon, high pressure is still in control but an area of low pressure that came through created a tight pressure gradient. you have the clockwise flow versus the counterclockwise rotation. two working against each other. windy conditions, we're in the middle so today along the coast line you'll notice the winds picking up. at the strongest between 3:00 and 5:00. patchy fog only a factor for the first part of the day, then friday the heat is on. our air kault will suffer as well with no significant on shore flow. so today's highs like this. 89 in livermore and 70 in san francisco. by tomorrow the 90s return, then the upper 90s on saturday. we're going to cool you off on

sunday, father's day. you want to make indoor plans probably good to make them early. as we were talking about earlier, traffic in the city is going to be difficult. we have problem this is morning. >> traffic in the city or getting to the city, we have a fire in oakland we're tracking. our shopper is above it. as you can see, pretty much the majority of the flames and smoke. this is feet away from the oakland station. so the smoke dying down means it's not so much of an issue and doesn't affect the off ramps. that's it for the drive. the drive is going to get worse because it's near the west oakland station which shut down service, transbay service, under the water. basically cutting off half of the commuters that take that route in either direction. forcing more on the roads. ac transit, they have the

transbay service and driving across the bay bridge or the richmond/san rafael bridge. it's going to send noks across the bay and it will be a concern. in the city the giants are playing and the u.s. open, while we're encouraging folks to use mass transit. travel along the east bay or the peninsula, okay as long as you're not traveling across the bay there. now a look at the volume of traffic on 880 fast coliseum. it's holding steady, a normal drive for 880 along this corridor. watch because as b.a.r.t. service affects more and more people we'll see that cause more after cascading effect on the roadways i'm sure. stay with us. >> thank you very much. 5:21. coming up, ace in the hole. the golfer who hate hole in one a day too early. >> here is a question. who has been the runner up in the u.s. open the most times.

welcome back. we continue to follow breaking news out of oakland a. three-alarm fire engulfing an apartment complex under construction. we have live chopper shots from our chopper above the scene, the flames were blasting high in the air, they shut down b.a.r.t. service between oakland and san francisco. they have announced that they don't have a time frame on that when they will have b.a.r.t. service back. look for alternative routing. this is video, the flame broke out, was alerted after 2:00 a.m. this morning. you can see how large and intense this is, firefighters on the scene. they managed to get it under control but again, this engulfed that neighborhood, damaging structures and some of the b.a.r.t. tracks. the b.a.r.t. service from oakland to san francisco has been shut down, so if you're heading out and thinking about your way to get to work and have to use these lines, use

alternative routes. we'll check with mike inouye now. he will tell us the best way to get around. >> jon, i want to call to attention some alternates. thanks for joining us. early this morning folks get alternate to your b.a.r.t. drive under the bay. the transbay service is cut off at the west oakland station. traveling throughout the east bay or the peninsula you're okay and you're on time. but you cannot travel between oakland or san francisco because of the fire and the effects and in fact b.a.r.t. has to assess the impact of the tracks. they shut down for safety sake. a new ferry between the east bay and south san francisco over to the area. that might be one of the options you might want to explore as well as the bay bridge, the ac transit service across the bay over the waterways as well across the bridge is a great option and that combination we talked about, to the peninsula you can get there by bus and take caltrain. the impact to traffic not scene.

the flow for 880 between the bay bridge and the san mateo bridge are moving fine. it's going to possibly double the traffic on the surface streets. >> so many could potentially take b.a.r.t. to see the u.s. open. we'll be watching this. if you didn't get a chance to get there yesterday we have action that happened at the olympic. practice rounds exciting. especially for one golfer who made a hole in one on par 4. he didn't even see the ball go in. he didn't know for sure. look at him. having a great time. remember this, before the break we asked you who has been the runner-up in the u.s. open the most times? you get this right? phil mickelson. he's runner-up five times. actually he cut his practice

game short yesterday thinking okay, i know the course, i know how it's going to go. not saying i'm going to win it. >> looking for his first u.s. open victory. that runner-up, you want to win. >> still ahead, the massive fire bringing the morning commute to a grinding halt. we'll show you the flames that has b.a.r.t. shut down. >> it's huge. everybody's talking about matt cain making history in front of a hometown crowd.

massive flames, blazing, shutting down b.a.r.t. service between the east bay and san francisco as firefighters take on this fire at an oakland apartment complex. those were videos from last night. now a live shot from our chopper as firefighters are still on the scene spraying down the hot

spots. good morning. thanks for joining us. it is just about 5:30. i'm jon kelley. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. there is no transbay b.a.r.t. service as firefighters battle the flames at the apartment complex we showed you. it's happening at seventh and m mandela. what's the latest? >> reporter: still a major disruption to b.a.r.t. service, transbay service in and out of san francisco this morning. this started as you said because of a fire in this building you see there behind me. that's actually a four-story building that was under construction. it burned down to one. it affected the b.a.r.t. track. here is the latest. >> the primary concern right now is insulators part of the system that feeds electricity to the third rail which after all runs the trains, so they appear damaged. and beyond that we're still

doing the damage assessments, but i would say that i can confidently say b.a.r.t. service will be disrupted for a period of hours so people should find alternate ways to get across the bay this morning. >> so hours, not days? maybe a p.m. zmut >> i wouldn't want to go that far. stay in the here and now and realize because of this electrical damage that b.a.r.t. service will likely not resume across the bay for the rush hour in the morning. so we'll have to wait and see to get a more detailed picture of what's going on to talk about the afternoon commute and the days ahead. >> how many people does this affect, jim? >> there are 370,000 daily riders every week day that use b.a.r.t. and about 50,000 of those use b.a.r.t. to get across the bay in the morning during the morning rush hour, so as many as drive across the bay bridge. >> what information can you give us about bus bridges and helping

people this morning? >> ac transit normally runs transbay bus service. they have added buses from mcarthur, clark station and the 19th street station in oakland to get people across the bay, so our friends at ac transit are helping out. >> you can still ride b.a.r.t. in san francisco and the east bay, you can't cross. >> that's correct. all the east bay stations are connected to each other and the san francisco peninsula stations are connected to each other. but many people want to use b.a.r.t. to get from the east bay into san francisco and we just can't do that. >> thank you very much. i wanted to mention that i got an update from oakland firefighter and that they are still putting water on the hot spots. don't know how this fire started but it did damage some street signs and outbuildings. this is a big area, one city block. there was a lot of radiant heat. i spoke with a battalion chief

who tells me they are putting water on it. there is a gas line burning on the property. it's underground so they have pg&e out here trying to shut it off. that's one of the issues. they say if you could see inside, it looks like a pilot light that is just burning. they don't want to blow it out, then that would mean that gas would go so they don't consider it unsafe but there is a gas issue that they are dealing with now. they are going to work on this for several more hours, also while -- you can kind of see where the third rail cover is damaged so we have work going on up on the tracks and also here in the building. so major disruption this morning if you are trying to catch b.a.r.t. to the city. you want an alternate route. b.a.r.t. is not running there. live in oakland, christie smith, "today in the bay."

>> so far yim says it could take hours to fix. >> sorry. can you repeat. >> i was kind of surprised in the sense he was saying it would only take hours to potentially fix that. >> reporter: yeah. jim, can we ask you one question. you were saying that right now they are inspecting and there were 12 insulators that were damaged. can you describe what it is that those do and give us an estimate how long this might take to fix. >> the insulators are porcelain round kind of structures that you know, make the overall electrical system safe to operate. so it could be 12 to 24 of those are damaged. each one of those has to be replaced, so again, it looks like the morning rush hour is going to be without b.a.r.t. transbay service. >> and we're unclear yet about the evening commute. >> the evening commute, we'll have to give you an update later

on that. right now in the here and now, no b.a.r.t. service across the bay. we need to find out how much damage is involved and how soon we can replace the damaged equipment. >> thank you for talking with us. back to you guys. >> thank you. we're gathering information. mike inouye, a busy morning commute. >> yeah. you wouldn't know that looking at these sensors but the ripple effect here on the map, this is where christie is located away from the west oakland b.a.r.t. station. with the fire still cleaning up. there is smoke off of the freeway but not really enough, it will yot be a distraction for folks. the traffic will be heavily impacted. jim committed to the fact that basically the morning commute, consider that out for b.a.r.t. service. transbay between, forcing a lot

more folks on the roadways unless you can telecommute. we're looking at the part system and you see that we'll travel through the east bay, dublin, all of those, can travel to one another fine. we can travel between the san francisco station and sfo. traveling across the bay will be disrupted. use ac transit as your alternate as well. the morning commute is pretty much out for b.a.r.t. back to you. >> appreciate it. now for the u.s. open golf championship, the pga descending. hitting the links in san francisco starting at about 7:00 a.m. fans buzzing over a certain group featuring tiger woods and phil mickelson. we have team coverage. meteorologist christina loren will look at the forecast, how it might affect those golf balls

but we start off with marla tellez live at the olympic club pre-tournament fever. what's going on? good morning. >> reporter: it's a nice vibe out here. for those of you who have spent any time out here at all this week, if you thought it was crowded get ready for the real crowds. when round one gets under way in less than two hours. yes, most will have their eyes on tiger woods who teamed up with bubba watson and the man known as lefty, mr. phil mickelson. he has been a runner-up five times but he has never clinched that title. there is another 3 not getting as much love despite the impressive rankings. donald is the number one ranked player in the world, mcilroy a two and westwood is three. even as the defending open

champion mcilroy understands all of the type around the other big three. >> having tiger and phil and bubba in same grip on opposite side is going to be huge. if i was you know, a golf fan i'd want to watch that group because i think you should see some fireworks. should be a good group to watch. >> mcelroy tees off at 1:29. woods, watson and mickelson, they tee off from the ninth hole at 7:33 this morning. if you were hoping to make it out and you don't have a ticket i don't have great news for the 26th year in a row the u.s. open is sold out. all of the action under way in less than two hours. live at the u.s. open. marla tellez, "today in the bay." >> if you want to see what the temperatures are like. >> what we should be wearing.

>> you want to dress for the two parts of the bay. we're starting out in the 50s except for novato, mid-40s. 54 degrees in san jose. we have fog starting, i'm monitoring your live spots. fog will likely be a factor for the guys teeing off early. and guys, going to have to deal with very strong winds. between 12 and 5:00 the winds increase. you can see that here. you get the rinks and the reds, that's right at the coast. it works like this. today we're talking about 67 with fog early. tomorrow temperatures in the 70s and then saturday out there the olympic club, 80 degrees so much warmer than our seasonal average. saturday we're talking about 80 degrees. that means triple digits in the warmest city across the bay. in my next report.

82 degrees at noon. up to 88 degrees at 4:00. >> thank you, christina. matt cain the first to throw a perfect game. >> on the ground from deep third. got him! that's a perfect game. >> beautiful, hugs, smiles all around yesterday at at&t park. loviing him after the historic win, the 22nd perfect game in major league history. >> and everybody up in the stands holding their breath for nine innings including cain's wife. >> we need to invite your lovely significant other, chelsea cain. she was wearing it with you. i know she wants to give you some love. >> oh, yes. sharing the love and the magic.

a cute moment for the couple who met at spring training a few years ago. the 22nd perfect game in major league history. the final score, 10-0 but what people remember is his perfection. >> busy morning with breaking news, massive fire shutting down b.a.r.t. service from the east s san fr yanousc we'll upda youte hmm, it says here that cheerios helps lower cholesterol as part of a heart healthy diet. that's true.

...but you still have to go to the gym. ♪ the one and only, cheerios

>>. >> a massive fire in oakland is breaking news, it is shutting down b.a.r.t. service from the east bay to san francisco. we'll have the latest. details coming up. >> now to decision 2012 and politics this morning. an ohio showdown, both president obama and mitt romney in that state today talking about what else, the economy. tracie potts live in washington, d.c. where romney shot pointed criticism at the president today or actually yesterday. good morning. >> reporter: it was yesterday,

jon. good morning. he heads today to a business in cincinnati to campaign after that sharp criticism in washington speaking to the d.c. roundtable, mitt romney said that he is tired and americans are tired of politicians making excuses instead of taking responsibility. talking about president obama and the economy which right now seems in some measures to go backwards. here's what he said about the president's speech in ohio. >> my view is he will speak eloquently but that words are cheap. and that the record of an individual is the basis upon which you determine whether they should continue to hold onto their job. >> reporter: the president attends the campaign events in cleveland today, in ohio the state that he won by 4.5% four years ago and may not have as much after challenge in ohio as some places when it comes to jobs. ohio's jobless rate, 7.4%, which is less than the national

average. i'm tracie potts for "today in the bay." >> a looming deadline while lawmakers baltimore over the budget. protesters making their voices heard. >> police arresting at least 43 protesters inside the state capitol build forge unlawful assembly. cuts to welfare programs appear to be the line in the sand. laum ares trying to close a deficit by friday. >> yosemite park closing some of its popular spots permanently. the park service expected to announce tomorrow several parts of yosemite will be off limits because of falling boulders. 570 dump trucks full crashing on cabins at curry village that sent school children scrambling for their lives. park leaders acknowledging that

no spot is entirely safe. with rocks falling every week it's important to shut down those areas. >> closing those but opening others. some are kicking off in lake tahoe basin opening the gate at the state park tomorrow. the the park is on emerald bay and includes a trail and sweeping view of lake tahoe. great time to get there. >> it's beautiful water so. crystal clear. lovely day ahead here in the bay. >> yeah. tahoe blue. i like that. beautiful day especially because you have to keep everything in perspective. we're going to be in the upper 90s, so today mid-80s not too hot yet. that's inland. we're talking about the 70s bayside. it's going to be a really nice day in san francisco. one of the reasons we're not starting without nearly as much fog as this time yesterday. we have about half as much. most is hugging the coastline

over the mountains you'll see that half moon bay, pacifica. i don't think the marine layer will push in. as a result, less cloud cover to start means more sunshine early and warming 5 to 8 degrees. >> 52 in san francisco. at 50 in santa rosa. high pressure taking a track to the north. we had a weak disturbance overnight. it heads to the east t two systems work against each other and we get a tight pressure gradient. so winds pick up for the second half of the day. gusty at times, between about 12 and about 5:00 p.m., really 12 to 4 but that will likely come into play when it comes to the u.s. open. we're going to see how those winds will make a difficult course even tougher. it's going to be really great. catch that here on nbc bay area. we're excited.

by 4:00 p.m., 65, windy conditions, we have the second half of the day. temperatures won't be too bad. you might get away without usin your ac. 85. tomorrow the low 90s return. then the upper 90s on saturday. i think we'll see triple digits in livermore through saturday. then sunday, 95 degrees, cooling you off a touch for father's day. you're going to wake up so mild, if you want to throw the ball around at 6:00, 7:00, it's going to be perfect. 5:48. >> we're looking at less than perfect commute. we start with the rails. telling you that b.a.r.t. okay throughout the east bay but getting from the east bay into san francisco t the transbay service is cut off because of a fire near the west oakland station. christie smith is on scene, and dealing with the problems for the b.a.r.t. rails we're assessing. they have to shut down the service under the bay.

it's going to force more on the roads. the number we hear. 50,000 riders travel that tube. they have to find some other way on the bay so. far a lighter flow. may be because -- i know the san jose, i think the last schools got out of their year yesterday so that will mean more summer driving. using the b.a.r.t. system you do not that but if you get to the colma. you cannot drive to the open. again you've got to reinforce that. there is none. looking at two more issues, the counties play midday and the apple conference going on so if you plan on taking b.a.r.t. there. the ferry is a great option. ac transit added service to get you over the water as well.

the san mateo bridge is another way. we may see more traffic as well but so far fine with a little flip for 92. back to you. >> the giants play later today, 12:our 5. what a game last night. matt cain pitching a perfect game against the astros. on hand to witness that, justin johnson at the park to throw out the first pitch. before the game he wasn't swinging a bat. no, a golf club. way out into mccovey cove. >> matt cain also stepped up. out in the water. how about a counties fan taking to the new heights. >> look at this. >> john, are you serious? >> a late arrival trying to figure out how to beat that traffic out there. >> yeah, strike up the elton john rocket man.

he needs to win ohio, and one of the ways he can convince ohio voters is to say the economy is terrible and i can fix. but as the "wall street journal" points out, the guy running for governor of ohio needs to say the opposite. things are better in ohio because i'm governor and you should re-elect me. ohio in fact has one of the fastest growing jobs market and no republican has ever won the white house without winning ohio. the republican-led energy and commerce committee touting a report from the labor department showing that solyndra's layoff was worse than we knew. earlier reports said 1100 people lost their job. the actual figure closer to 1900. >> as we get closer to the weekend closer to greek elections. that has investors nervous, some of spain's banks have been cut to junk status. here at home rumors that yammer may sell itself to microsoft. we'll talk about that, more in the 6:00 hour.
