don't want the a's in their backyard, fine, but if the backers are a business competitor, include a business competitor, in other words the san francisco giants, then stand for san jose should have no legal standing and therefore not be allowed to sue the city over this proposed ballpark. the giants had no comment for the paper on this latest legal maneuver, though the paper reports the team is no longer a supporter of stand for san jose. and in court papers, stand for san jose calls this move on behalf of the city a violation of their free speech rights. it is ultimately up to major league baseball to resolve this territorial dispute between the giants and the a's against something that has been going on for three years now when commissioner bud selig will announce a decision, that's not clear. jon, laura? >> thank you very much, bob. it's 5:14. did mysterious hackers tap into an fbi file? is the fbi tracking your ipad? >> hackers associated with the group anonymous posted special

lots of colorful examples of how they -- before going to the white house were really a middle class family, especially in the early years. she was very much trying to connect with women and the middle class. her message that president obama understands many of the struggles of the middle class because he's been there. well-received in the convention hall. now, coming up tonight, i mentioned bill clinton, former president who will be the keynote speaker. but also, just before the 10:00 p.m. eastern hour, the prime time coverage, we're going to hear from california's attorney general, former d.a. in san francisco, earlier on monday she was on the stage checking it out for tonight's speech. a pretty short speech she's doing, just a few minutes. she said she was nervous about it. she's being put in the national spotlight as the chair of the rules committee. pretty prominent position here at the dnc. and it certainly raises more questions about what her political future might be. laura? >> it will. one to watch, perhaps.

thank you very much, tracie. protesters marched in the streets of charlotte last night as that convention got underway. demonstrators were under the watchful eye of police as they made their way up through uptown charlotte. many chanted, others carried signs, some of which read dnc is meaningless. demonstrators were mostly peaceful throughout the day. it happened right now in portugal, firefighters finally getting the upper hand on several massive wildfires, dozens of water-dropping aircraft had to be used over the past few days and nearly 7,000 firefighters, including some from neighboring countries are on the front lines. despite that good news, portugal remains on high alert after a month-long drought left forests vulnerable to fires. san jose leaders stepping up to the plate on their quest to land the oakland a's. bob redell live with a look at

the steps they're taking for opponents who are against the plan. good morning, bob. >> san jose has been trying to get the oakland a's to move to the south bay for three years, a move that is opposed by the san francisco giants. the giants argued that silicon valley is part of their major league baseball territory. there's even a community group called stand for san jose that has sued to stop the city from building a new a's park. well, now the city of san jose has gone to court itself asking a judge for permission to delve into the background of stand for san jose. the mercury news reports the city wants to see if that organization has any ties to the san francisco giants to see if the giants are manipulating the process. the legal argument being that if the people for stand for san jose are city taxpayers who don't want the a's in their backyard, fine. but if the backers are a business competitor or include a business competitor, in other words the san francisco giants, then stand for san jose should

have no legal standing and therefore not be allowed to sue the city over this proposed ballpark. the giants had no comment for the paper on this latest legal maneuver. the team is no longer a supporter for stand for san jose. in court papers, stand for san jose called this move a violation of their free speech rights. it is ultimately up to major league baseball to resolve this territorial dispute between the giants and a's, which has been going on for three years now when commissioner bud selig will announce a decision, that's not clear. >> thank you very much for the update, 5:46. i was debatining washing th car today, probably not a good idea. >> don't do it. right as rain there, laura. marla's week is next week. good morning to you, let's take you outside. we have radar activated this morning.

continue to get those light showers down in the south bay. this afternoon, when it warms up, it'll be hot enough and unstable enough for some thunderstorms to fire off, especially over the higher elevation was and especially down in the south bay. the western-facing slopes. you might get caught under a thunderstorm or two. keep that in mind. 83 degrees in san jose. now with the addition of thunder and lightning, we have elevated fire danger. you want to keep that in mind. we could get a couple of dry lightning strikes. you want to be on your best behavior as we already have resources spread thin when it comes to firefighters because of that fire down in southern california. saturday to sunday, mid-80s, comfortable conditions feeling seasonal and our dry heat will return. 5:48, that traffic has returned. let's turn to your drive with mike. >> today, shaping up pretty standard, wednesday, but again, we're looking at the volume really starting to bump up now. approaching 880 and 17
