and it's early on a friday. that means some folks are getting off of work. as the road crews clear, we have some slowing. i'll show the latest and where you have to watch out coming up. we still have the fog to deal with this morning. not too bad just yet. we are expecting some to develop. we'll show you where today, looking good in the upper 50s, headed towards the 90s. we'll have the full weekend forecast in moments. oh, to be in london this morning, as we give you a live look. yes, it seems like the world is on royal baby watch on this friday, july 19th. will she have it, will the heir to the throne be a boy or a girl? so many questions. this is "today in the bay." good morning. it's 5:00. we begin with breaking news in the east bay where an armed robbery suspect is dead, shot and killed by an off-duty

sheriff's deputy in alameda overnight. the other suspect is still on the loose this morning. "today in the bay's" christie smith is live at the bond fair market where the shooting happened. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. talk about timing, two armed men walked into a market late last night, and there just happened to be an off-duty alameda sheriff's deputy inside. there was a confrontation in the store. he ended up shooting and killing one of them. may have shot the second one. so right now, what deputies are doing and the sheriff's department is, they're checking area hospitals to see if perhaps that second suspect walked in looking for treatment because of gunshot wounds. now, this happened last night around 10:30 at the bond bon fair market. police say they started getting 911 calls of a robbery in progress. they tell me there were actually two employees inside the store at the time. one in the back in the stockroom, the other the cashier who came face to face with these

guys. but again, the deputy off-duty happened to be there. they got into a confrontation. he shot one of the masked men and may have shot the second one. and this isn't the first time the bonfair market was robbed. >> the store was robbed eight days ago with similar m.o., and again it was an armed robbery at that time, too, the same time of the evening. >> reporter: alameda police tell us they brought out dogs overnight looking for that second suspect. they also canvassed the area. this is off of high street near santa clara. they've interviewed a number of witnesses. again, still looking for that second suspect this morning. and what they tell me is that, something to know, if you're coming through this area, that high street, the one behind us here, this is the main thoroughfare through alameda, and also to get between alameda and oakland, high street will be closed until at least noon today while they complete their investigation. reporting live in alameda, christie smith, "today in the

bay." >> thank you, christie. we'll learn today what killed a 16-year-old girl on an asiana flight 214. the coroner's expected to release a full autopsy report later this morning. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live in san mateo. bob, we've already heard she may have been alive when she was hit by one of the first responders. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura, yes, you are correct, that's what the coroner's office here in san mateo believes. they believe 16-year-old initially survived the crash of flight 214, that she was alive outside the plane, that she died of blunt force trauma when she was run over by one of the vehicles responding to the scene, possibly a fire truck. this is according to reporting done by the "san francisco chronicle," not yet confirmed by the coroner's office. we expect that confirmation during a news conference scheduled for later this morning at 10:00, if not sooner. what's not clear is how she got out of the aircraft. did she escape on her own?

did someone help her out? or was she ejected during the crash, like her friend who was killed? first responders eventually found her body near the left wing, covered in firefighting foam, raising another question, were first responders even aware she was there when she was accidentally run over, or did the foam conceal her body and herself? her family and the families of the other two people killed did reportedly meet yesterday with the san mateo county coroner to receive explanations of how their loved ones died. again, the coroner's office here on the peninsula expecting to make an announcement on the conclusions of how she died at a news conference, again scheduled later this morning at 10:00. reporting live in san mateo, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. 5:04. we have a follow-up to the richmond gang rape trial. both defendants will be sentenced august 15th. marcelles peter and jose montano

were found guilty yesterday, for the gang rape of a 16-year-old girl outside a homecoming dance. two other men connected to the case took a plea deal. two more are awaiting trial. 5:05. the san francisco crime lab technician who pleaded guilty to cocaine possession is expected to be sentenced today. deborah madden took a plea deal that reduced her charges to misdemeanors carrying a prison sentence up to one year. she went to trial twice on more serious felony charges of stealing cocaine. both trials ended in hung juries. the charges against madden led to the dismisal of hundreds of criminal cases on claims the evidence was not tainted. police in the east bay are trying to hunt down several squatters who reportedly armed and -- were armed and living inside a $3 million walnut creek home. officers arrived last night to kick out the squatters. when they went inside, they found several guns, including an assault weapon. the home is reportedly owned by an investment group.

one of the investors called police after he stopped by to find the locks changed and people living inside. the squatters offered up a fake lease and said they were paying the rent. police arrested two people, but they're now looking for several more whose names appear on that fake lease. mountainview police are looking for a brazen burglar who broke into a man's hotel while he was taking a shower. they say when they got into the room on the el camino real on highway 85 yesterday morning by pulling the screens off the window. police say he slid the window open and entered the room, the thief did. taking off with the laptop, ipad, the keys to a rental car, which was stolen when he got outside. so far, police have made no arrests. happening now, thousands of homes are under evacuation orders near palm springs as the massive mountain fire continues to spread. about 4,000 houses, condos, cabins, and several hotels in idyllwild and surrounding communities are threatened. the fire is forcing many into

palm springs where some hotels are actually offering discounts to those who don't have a place to stay now. a palo alto family vacationing in palm springs says the fire is making them nervous. >> we were kind of anxious at first, because we don't really know the area so well. we didn't know whether to come down or stay up that way. >> the fire has burned almost 23,000 acres and at this point it is just 15% contained. authorities say the fire was human-caused, but they are not saying whether it was accidental or intentional. >> certainly having a tough go of it, as meteorologist christina loren, you know that area well. >> i do. it's scary, because we're talking about the fire now, about two miles away from the western border of palm springs. i do want to talk about what's happening, because the weather will make an impact. look at this, showers on the radar in the area this morning. now, this is monsoonal moisture. so it's a really tricky forecast, whether or not the weather is going to help or

hinder the fight. i can tell you now the showers are good for now, but we're also going to include the lightning strikes once we accumulate the daytime heating later on. the growth potential remains extreme at this point, and that's already a very costly fire for this state. we want to be on the best fire safety here in the bay area. as we know now, resources are running on the thin side. the fire elevation -- excuse me, our fire chances will be elevated as we head throughout the weekend with lightning moving up into the bay area and also going to get hot around here. we want to make sure everybody is ready. we want to protect the beautiful, beautiful land we get to live in in the bay area. 86 in livermore. 90 in antioch. you'll notice the difference in livermore, 93 there. 92 on the way to concord. that's not the oy fire burning in the state. we've got one just to our south near big sur. we'll talk about that one coming up. and what you can expect from those thunderstorms once they move into the bay area. that's coming up first.

first, a check on the drive. it's a friday, but there's always something going on, mike. >> yeah, a lot of work going on, and a lot of it is clearing now. on 880, the volume of traffic is starting to bump up. but it's getting there. a smooth flow now as you head throughout the area. construction cleared and north of there, talking about both directions between the coliseum and 980, had patches of slowing as well over the last half hour. christie smith talking about high street being affected. that's only at santa clara. however, high street, the bridge itself, is opened as well as fruit vale and webster and posy, cleared back and forth between downtown. easy access to the island, just watch that scene. over here, the peninsula, construction in many spots. 280 clearing the crews. and the travel times not a big deal. we're looking at -- oh, my goodness, the miles per hour is totally wrong.

do not go over 1,000 miles per hour on a roadway. looking at the live pictures for palo alto, a nice, smooth drive for palo alto, considerably slower than, like, 500 miles per hour. they're about the limit. back to you. >> a quirky friday around here. >> oh, yeah, thanks, mike. 5:10. a late-night skateboarding accident sends a teenager to the hospital. and how to implode a local university building could also help scientists better understand earthquakes. you want imploding, let's talk tech and financial results. a disaster.

welcome back. it is 5:12. it is official. the uc system will have its first female president. yesterday afternoon, the regent ps voted to confirm homeland security secretary janet napolitano. she will take over in september after she leaves president obama's cabinet.

napolitano will earn a base salary of $570,000, and also receive perks, including an annual car allowance. san jose state forced to suspend some of its online courses because too many students are failing. the university has put five courses co-developed on hold, because more than half of the students failed to pass the class. san jose state say it is will re-evaluate the courses and make improvements. moving on to business and tech. the failure is a rare misstep for its inventor. they'll have to go back to the drawing board on this one. >> it is a rare misstep. you saw him in that video shaking hands with the president of san jose state university. back when the deal was struck. the name is not a household name, but you're familiar with google street view, google driverless car and google glass. he was to host a big meet tomorrow in palo alto, a celebration of the online

educational system, but has since said he will not be able to attend. the san jose online classes were remedial. they were designed to bring underperforming students up to university standards. the state college system at the time said california high schools hadn't been adequately preparing inbound college freshmen, particularly in math. the problem had become so acute, remedial classes became overbooked, and the online classes were launched. more good news about jobs in california. the state's unemployment rate fell again to 8.5%. we were supposed to get that data today, actually, but it was accidentally released early. san mateo and marin counties have the lowest jobless rates in the bay area and alameda has the highest. the giant whiffing news you heard about 2:30 thursday was google and microsoft missing expectations, as we continue a sweep of mediocrity in the tech center. seema has a look ahead. >> reporter: hey, scott.

you know, futures now are lower. stocks could feel the heat, as you were mentioning, from google and microsoft. both of which reported disappointing earnings. microsoft continues to be hurt by the slumping pc sales market and took a loss from unsold inventory of its surface tablet. google's results were impacted by lower prices for web ads and losses from the motorola business. it closed at record highs, and the dow rising 78 points and the nasdaq edging up 1. scott, back to you. >> thank you very much. a texas inventor has created a new type of rifle. you may have heard about it. it can allow anyone to hit a target the size of a quarter at 1,000 yards. tracking point out of austin calls it a precision-guided firearm. it uses computers and lasers to put a regular bullet on target ten football fields away. the company's ceo, my guest this week on "press here," as we

debate how much is too much when it comes to weapons? >> it's part of the larger overall firearms debate in this country between responsible gun owners like myself who feel like we should have the right to be able to have firearms for whatever purposes we have them. and people who feel that, you know, anything you do with a firearm, it should be something to make it safer or something that makes it less scary. when it's really not all that scary to most of us. >> it's a fascinating debate. we talk about the size of a clip or the power of a bullet. it may turn out to be software that will be the most important consideration. >> right. amazing and exciting at the same time. >> yeah. >> thank you very much. interesting one. >> we'll watch on sunday morning. thank you, scott. we want to check the forecast now. sunday morning. >> after we watch them going outside. >> yeah. yeah. you don't want to miss it. yeah, afterwards, it's going to start to get humid on sunday. that's when the pattern really does start to shift. that's the day you want to keep in mind. overall, we'll hold onto the dry heat for today. that goes for saturday as well. and then, things are going to get really interesting.

and we're not just talking about for a few days of this muggy pattern with isolated thunderstorms. we're talking about just about every single day next week. very bizarre pattern moving across the nation. whether typically rides the jet stream, and it's actually very, very normal for that weather to move from west to east. this next week, all of the weather is going to be moving from east to west. so very unusual. i'm going to show you that, how that looks on the surface analysis map coming up. 58 degrees in oakland to start. 56 in livermore. we're talking fog. stop the clock for you at 7:00 a.m. when is what we're expecting. a little bit of the cloud cover making it to livermore. it won't last long. a thin marine layer out there. by about 9:00 a.m., most of the cloud cover will be gone. just kind of hugging the coastline, making for a comfortable day at the beach. that's where you'll get the best conditions. beachside and bayside. 67 in pacifica. 69 in half moon bay. and temperatures aren't changing enough in santa cruz, about 77 out there. it will be hot in the east bay.

it's that dry heat and the wind that will pick up just like it did yesterday. really nice evening yesterday, same deal for today. 93 in livermore, 77 in freemont, and 83 degrees on the way to san jose. here it is. the all-important weekend. and an upcoming forecast for next week, humidity, thunderstorms. it's going to feel sticky-icky, so make sure you're ready for that. mike has his muscle shirts ready to go. >> yeah, look at the happy face. that's great. thanks, christina. all right, equally as happy, i am, to present the slowing already. starting out in the altamonte pass. it's typically a little slow, out of tracy, 205 and 5 meeting here. there's a little slowing at that area toward livermore. it's not enough to cause this. look at the slowdown reported here. the average speed reported at 29 miles per hour and a drive time of almost 40 minutes. combined effect is what's happening here. slowing out of altamonte. but then you get here and it's sparsely populated. spread out nicely, and it's the

volume of traffic causing a mild slowing. the upper 50s, as you see from the live shot, taken a couple of minutes ago. looking over to the smooth flow westbound, and it boggs down here as you're approaching the dublin interchange, that's where we have construction crews blocking two of the lanes. we've seen a slow drive. it might not be quite as dramatic as our sensor reads are showing. we have it barely moving and that contributes to the average speed. but it will be considerably less than the computers are reading. that's why you have me to interpret the data. smooth drive here. slowing through livermore. we'll get a look over here toward the south bay travel times where the speeds are looking good. a slowdown for 101. we'll check out where that is coming up in san jose and end it with one live shot as well, the westbound commute direction and you can see the high rise, but some haze here. back to you. >> thank you so much. a teenager is recovering this morning after being seriously hurt while riding his skateboard. pleasanton police say a

15-year-old boy crashed while riding his skateboard downhill after 8:30 last night. police say it appears the boy lost control, went off the roadway, hitting a light pole. the skateboarder was rushed to the hospital with serious head injuries. police say it's unclear if he was wearing a helmet or if any cars were involved. a man wanted in connection with a machete attack in arizona has been arrested in the bay air yachl u.s. marshals say luis sanchez was arrested wednesday night in san jose after a standoff with s.w.a.t. officers. he's wanted on suspicion of attempted murder in flagstaff, arizona, for attacking a person with a machete last december. he's being held this morning in the santa clara county jail. a new report in san mateo county shows tuberculosis rates are on the rise. the 2013 community health news assessment found rates of the disease in the county outpaced the state and national average between 1991 and 2010. county health officials tell the san francisco examiner most of the cases of tb came from

foreign-born immigrants and a shift in the county's population in recent years could explain the increase. 5:21. scientists are hoping a planned implosion can teach them more about a bay area fault line. next month, demolition of a 13-story building at cal state east bay is expected to produce energy similar to a small earthquake. the building sits about 750 yards away from the hayward fault. scientists plan to place seismic monitors throughout the campus ahead of time to measure shaking and energy from that implosion. it is 5:21, and an australian company says it's developed a shark repelling wetsuit. >> we'll show you that next.

welcome back, everyone. . taking a live look outside. can you make it out?

can we guess what it is? san francisco. >> wow. >> yeah, can't see it at all. include me in as the cars are going across, floating across the water there. we're going to check the forecast coming up. 5:24 now. an australian company says it's developed wet suits that can help avoid shark attacks. some of the wet suits make divers obvious to sharks, with big white, deep-blue stripes on the arms and legs. the company says another line of wet suits helps you blend in with the background colors in the water. so do they work? a professor at cal state long beach tells "the l.a. times" he chuckles at the wet suit idea, because scientists aren't what sure what causes sharks to bite people. of course, it's a serious problem in chicago and even here in the bay area. you may remember a shark bit a kayaker's boat in pacifica late june. he escaped unharmed. how is this to beat the heat? ice cream on demand. sign me up. san francisco start-up u.ber

usually helps people find a ride. it's today in 35 cities around the world including san francisco. all you have to do is call for an ice cream truck using the uber app on your smartphone, but you must order more than one cone. >> i love it. that is a sweet idea. >> twist the arm. >> mint chocolate chip, please. >> me, too. my favorite. >> pistachio. >> nice. >> good morning to you. a good-looking day shaping up. only 66 degrees in san francisco. that's warm enough for ice cream, i'd say. hey, two-thirds of the nation still baking with excessive heat and humidity. so they picked a good day. 93 degrees in livermore. not too hot, but still pushing hot in the east bay. 81 degrees in santa teresa, and 83 in san jose. no triple digits in the forecast. we do have lightning, thunder. we're also talking about a

return of fire danger. so we'll talk about that coming up. 5:25, let's talk to mike about the drive. >> a concern about fire danger you a they're still talking about chocolate mint. my goodness. keep it going. we're looking over here at the freeway. nothing big going on now. north 101, a nice, easy drive in san jose. we showed you the travel speeds. let me show you the map again. the speeds have come back up to the upper 50s on average. so it was a blip there. you know what? that's what happens when we average so very quickly in the morning when there's such a light flow of traffic. there's the drive from capital expressway up toward the airport. no problems. you're upper 50s, 65, mostly where you see the green, you're at the limit. construction between 880 and 17 there around the 280 interchange. watch for slowing and the equipment. it's looking good now. the east shore freeway moving smoothly through berkeley but at the limit around richmond and slowing around university because of the congestion. that's about it, guys. back to you. >> thank you very much. 5:26. we continue to follow breaking news in alameda.

an off-duty sheriff's deputy involved in a deadly shoing overnight. christie smith is on the scene talking to investigators. we'll find out what she's learned next. and 911. the new trouble this morning for the ambulance company serving millions of people in the south bay. look at 'em. living on cloud nine with that u-verse wireless receiver. you see in my day, when my mom was repainting the house, you couldn't just set up a tv in the basement. i mean, come on! nope. we could only watch tv in the rooms that had a tv outlet. yeah if we wanted to watch tv someplace else, we'd have to go to my aunt sally's. have you ever sat on a plastic covered couch? [ kids cheering ] you're missing a good game over here. those kids wouldn't have lasted one day in our shoes. [ male announcer ] add a wireless receiver. call to get u-verse tv for just $19 a month with qualifying bundles. rethink possible.

breaking news out of alameda this morning where two armed men tried to rob a convenience store overnight, but it turns out, an off-duty sheriff's deputy's inside. i'm christie smith. i'll tell you what happens next coming up. a south bay college campus on edge after a trio of girls rob a man at gunpoint. what they took, and what kbus police are telling us this morning. and it's a comfortable start to this friday morning. temperatures mostly in the upper 50s to low 60s. we've got a hotter day ahead. but the important forecast comes to this weekend. we're going to increase the humidity, add thunderstorms, even some showers to the mix. we'll let you know what that

means, how it all times out in your full forecast. and we're starting to get a good mix of cars here at the bay bridge toll plaza, as well. a few cars lining up, and also slower spots in the east bay. this is unusual for a friday. we'll sort that out for you. that's what it looks like at the bay bridge toll plaza. here's what it looks like at the golden gate bridge toll plaza. still too dark to even see the golden towers there. but plenty of cars making their way into san francisco on this friday, july 19th. this is "today in the bay." good morning. and thanks for being with us. it's a 5:350. this morning, we'll learn more about what killed one of the teenage victims of the asiana crash almost two weeks ago. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. we know ahead of time that the

coroner's office does believe that 6-year-old huang did initially survive the crash of flight 214, that she was alive outside of the airplane, but that she died from blunt force trauma when she was run over by one of the vehicles responding to the scene. this is according to the "san francisco chronicle," not yet confirmed by the coroner's office. we expect that confirmation during a news conference later this morning at 10:00. last week, however, san francisco police addressed this issue before the coroner made a determination of the cause of death. >> the fire truck did go over the victim, that's a fact. now, the cause of death, whether the victim was deceased before or the result, that's what we're trying to figure out. >> reporter: but again, "the chronicle" is reporting that the cause of death was being run by by one of the vehicles. what's not clear is how she got out of the aircraft.

did she escape on her own? did someone help her out? was she ejected during the crash like her friend who was killed? first responders eventually found her near the left wing covered in firefighting foam, raising another question of were first responders even aware she was there when she was accidentally run over, or was she cover by the foam, obstructed by view? her family and the families of the two other people killed reportedly met yesterday with the san mateo county coroner to receive explanations of how their loved ones died. reporting life in san mateo county, bob redell, "today in the bay." it's 5:32. san jose state police say three women are on the run this morning suspected of robbing a man at gunpoint late last night. this happened on the north side of campus there near clark hall. police say the three women approached the man, and at least one of them had a gun. they say the woman -- the women, rather, took the man's laptop. campus police sent out a text message alert to students letting them know what had happened. we spoke to one student who is

now thinking twice about taking classes at night. >> i'm going to be more apprehensive about it. i might even have to forego those evening classes, because it does send some fear and some concern. >> police say the man who was robbed is not a student. they also say two of the female suspects were wearing red. the third was dressed in black. 5:33. the ambulance company that provides emergency services in the south bay has run into financial troubles. "mercury news" reports that they missed a bond payment deadline this week. santa clara county officials say they're concerned about whether the company will be able to continue its services. rural metro has paid millions in fines to the county for arriving late and failing to keep enough ambulances ready to be deployed. in a statement, the company says it plans to make the missed bond payment within the next 30 days. an update now to breaking news in the east bay this

morning where an armed robbery suspect is dead, shot and killed by an off-duty sheriff's deputy in alameda overnight. "today in the bay's" christie smith is live near bonfair market where the shooting happened. now, christie, the search is still on for another suspect. >> reporter: that's right. and right now, alameda police are checking area hospitals to see if that second suspect may have come in for treatment for a gunshot wound. they think he may have been shot trying to run away from the bonfair market that you see there behind me. on high street. police are still out here taking pictures and processing this scene. that man, one of two who actually ran out of luck late last night. alameda police tell us about 10:30 last night they started getting a series of 911 calls of an armed robbery in progress at the bonfair market on high street at santa clara. inside the store, an off-duty alameda county sheriff's deputy. then, there was a confrontation between all of them. one masked man shot and killed

the other possibly shot. in all of this, though, everyone else unharmed. >> there were two employees. one who was in the back stockroom, and the cashier. and this was potentially a very dangerous situation where somebody could have been seriously hurt or killed, because the suspects in this case, both were armed with weapons, and i think the deputy did an outstanding job of protecting the lives of the store employees as well as his own. >> reporter: now, overnight, police brought out dogs to try and search for that second suspect in the neighborhood. couldn't find him. they interviewed a number of witnesses. now, this is actually the second time that this market has been robbed recently. two guys in mask came in just eight days ago and basically did the same thing. of course, police are looking for a connection there. also, wanted to mention again we're at high street and santa clara. and what investigators are telling us, as you can see, they

have the crime scene tape up. it will be closed right here at this intersection until at least noon today. reporting live in alameda, christie smith, "today in the bay." oakland police need help from the community to identify the gunman who shot and killed an 8-year-old girl at a slumber party wednesday night. close to 50 people gathered for a vigil across the street from the apartment where alaysha carradine and three others were shot. police say someone knocked on the door late wednesday night and her friend opened it, thinking it was her mother. that's when the shooter started firing, hitting the two girls, a 4-year-old boy and their grandmother. people at the vigil telling us they've had enough of the violence in oakland. >> how many more lives have to be shed? how many more mothers have to bury their babies? >> this loss of life has got to stop. and we are going to do everything we can possibly can to catch this person. this is unacceptable.

>> 4-year-old boy, 7-year-old girl, and their grandmother are still recovering this morning. doctors say their conditions are stable. happening now in the wildfire burning near palm springs, it's now forced thousands of people and tourists to evacuate. about 4,000 houses, condos, cabins, and several hotels in idyllwild and surrounding communities are threatened by the mountain fire. the fire burned 23,000 acres and stild just 15% contained. authorities say the fire is human-caused but they're not saying if it was accidental or intentional. >> they're having a tough go of that one here. christina, we mentioned earlier, you know that area well. >> yeah, i do. i grew up there. it's hot, too. they're fighting the fire with the heavy suits on in 100-degree temperatures. the humidity down there is going to increase. they have showers coming through. still not looking good. not looking good at all. so 3,300 firefighters working, and also getting assistance from

the national guard. and we have this one burning, 169 acres so far. near big sur. if you want to go camping this weekend, you need to stick with us. make sure it's safe to go. at this point, it looks like they'll get it knocked down over the course of the weekend, but it's only 5% contained. and they have terrain and access issues. look at this. it's way up there. in the los padres national forest. sorry, tongue twisted whenurú it all serious. i can tell you now, this one, they will likely get it knocked down but this is keeping them from sending resources down to southern california. so 311 of our local firefighters working on this one, and, of course, the fire danger will creep up as we head throughout this weekend. so we want to make sure you're ready for that. it's a bad idea to mow your lawn. i know i'm breaking your heart, mike. hey, it can cause a spark, and it does become a dangerous situation. yeah, hold off on that until i get out of the heat and we don't have the thunderstorms in the forecast. today and saturday, mike, get out there and get it done.

starting sunday, don't think about it. 87 degrees at noon. 83 san jose and 81 degrees there. this is a dangerous time in california. so anything we can do to help. if you see a brush fire break out, make sure you pull over and you can safely make that call and report it as soon as possible. hey, mike, that just happened yesterday in livermore, a brush fire broke out. you saw it. >> that's right. over in the tesla area. if you see the smoke, you dial 911 from your mobile, using the hands-free, or pull over, and they'll get it routed to the fire department. looking at freemont, south 880 moves smoothly. a little farther north, an issue, southbound 880, around stevenson. key did have slowing for a couple of minutes until they moved it to the shoulder. no injuries reported. it's a bit of a distraction. in the south bay, no big deal, except at 880 and 280. southbound side, another crash around stevens creek, it's moved

to the shoulder as well. the northbound side, road crews are clearing, so it's moved up toward 880. it should clear over the next 20 minutes without any further incident. a look across the san mateo bridge. headlights, westbound commute, pretty nice. >> not bad. thank you. disgraced former county supervisor returns to court after new charges were returned against him. and a deadly building collapse caught on camera.

welcome back, everybody. we come back from our break giving you a live look at detroit, one of america's biggest cities, certainly in need of a bailout this morning. michigan's governor making a statement this morning, less than 24 hours after detroit filed for bankruptcy.

d.c., where the president is closely monitoring this situation. good morning, melissa. >> reporter: that's right. good morning to you, as well, laura. overnight, we heard from the president saying they are keeping an eye on what's happening in detroit, michigan. today, over the next few days and, of course, the next few weeks. we know the emergency manager there is saying this is what they needed to do to start restoring the city of detroit. we're talking about an $18 billion debt that they are filing bankruptcy for. people across the country now looking at the once mighty motor city, of course, with its vacant homes, boarded-up houses, fearing a similar saga in their own town. at this point, we know that detroit's going to have to sell off assets, scale back basic services. but they insist right now, today, it is still business as usual. it could, though, take up to 90 days to approve. laura? >> all right, thank you very much, melissa. new video just in to our newsroom of last month's deadly building collapse in philadelphia. look at this. the city bus was driving by just as the four-story building came

crashing down on this salvation army thrift store. this happened on june 5th. six people were killed, 13 others hurt. the building was in the process of being demolished when it collapsed. police say the man operating the heavy equipment during the demolition had marijuana and also pain killers in his system. he faces a number of felony counts. "the rolling stone" issue featuring the boston bombing suspects hits some store shelves this morning. do you want to read this one? >> yeah, go for it. >> they say they will not carry it, but you may recall the cover features dzhokhar tsarnaev and something "rolling stone" say he looks too much like a rock star. yesterday, new photos of the suspected bomber were released in response to the cover photo under the headline of the real face of terror. it shows sniper's target centered up on his forehead. the images were taken by the boston police department's tactical photographer who, by the way, is now in trouble for

releasing those photos. it has been temporarily removed of his duties and he'll face a hearing next week. the national security agency is implementing new measures in response to information leaks by former analyst edward snowden. systems administrators like snowden will now have limited access and will work with a colleague when accessing sensitive intelligence. the two-man rule is similar to how the government monitors staff working at nuclear facilities. the pentagon is also set to launch a 4,000-person cyber squad at both offensive and defensive teams. 5:45 right now. we want to get a check of the forecast for this friday morning, maybe a peek at the weekend. >> a little sneak peek. >> i can hear the weekend calling. >> i know, it's screaming our names at this point. keep it down. we still have to get through this day. 5:45 now. let's take you outside and show you what we are working with to start. yeah, a getaway friday. the fog could become problematic for flights living on time and arriving on time. out of sfo, we'll check on that for you.

right now, everything is reported on time. but we know the deal around here, don't we? starting with a live look here at the golden gate bridge, not quite as foggy as we were at this time yesterday. we don't have quite much low cloud cover to start with. what i can tell you right now, it will be a hotter day. you'll notice the difference especially out in the east bay, the hottest temps. as we get through the weekend, 56 in livermore. you're at 61 degrees, good morning to you, down in sunnyvale. let's talk about the fog and what we're expecting it to do throughout the morning hours. by 7:00 a.m., this is when it will be at its thicker, making its way to the tri-valley. hey, it will clear quickly by 10:00 a.m., mostly clear conditions, and that means great beach conditions if you want to head out. overall, this is what's happening. we have the backwards pattern weather actually moving from east to west, highly unusual. we have the ridge of high pressure moving in. all the way from texas. it's coming in from texas and it's a big strong ridge. it will bring the monsoonal showers back into the area. the moisture, the daytime

heating, instability, we're talking thunderstorms and we have a good chance for that a couple of days next week. today, dry heat. 93 degrees on the way to livermore. 77 for freemont. 66 san francisco. let's talk thunder. starting on sunday, we'll see a lot of the activity ramping up along the spine of the sierra-nevada. we could get a stray thunderstorm or two around the western-facing slopes in the north bay mountains. a better chance through tuesday and the best chance looks like wednesday into thursday. we'll be watching that for you. now, he's watching the drive and something is always changing. good morning, mike. >> yeah, in flux. even though we have slowing, 505 and 580 coming out of the 205 -- let's just look at the numbers on the roads. we'll sort it out. okay, well, we'll look at the live maps. i'd love to get back to the maps. 34 for the drive. average time about 34 minutes.

there's a good deal of slowing from 580 westbound. it's a little unusual for a friday this early. we're looking at a slower drive, though. here's a live look, taken a couple of minutes ago from the cal trans camera. the taillights, now getting good volume westbound. eastbound, the noncommute direction, an easy drive. showing the same thing on the sensors. driving through, focusing around north livermore instead of around here, as we saw in the early morning hours, so the construction has now shifted to a typical morning build. as you get closer to the interchange, you are okay. getting the traffic still coming into livermore and also through livermore for highway 84 starting to build as well. other spots throughout the east bay, the travel times, and we're looking at 880 northbound, at the limit. westbound, my goodness, 580, what's going on with my sensors? it's friday. we'll give them a little break and get the live shot and see how things are shaping up. you're basically at the limit.

we're looking at the peninsula for pal o alto, but you're getting some company. >> thank you so much, mike. 5:48. george shirakawa will return to a courtroom today charged with impersonating a political rival. you'll recall shirakawa is accused of sending out campaign mailers in the name of magdelena carrasco in 2010, picturing her with a north vietnamese communist flag, a very offensive symbol to the vietnamese community. he's already facing prison time after pleading guilty to separate charges of perjury and misuse of public funds. prosecutors are trying to increase his sentence to account for the new charges. a plan to build more housing in the bay area has the green light, but not everyone is happy about it this morning. the metropolitan transportation commission says another 2 million people will move to the bay area by 2040. hoping to avoid gridlock and also a housing shortage, bay area leaders approved a plan overnight that requires the nine counties to add more than

180,000 housing units for people of all income levels. it's called plan bay area. it also calls for the housing to be located close to public transportation to help reduce greenhouse gases. last night, people both for and against the plan voiced their opinions at a packed meeting in oakland. >> i don't live out in the country to be stacked and packed in a transit village gulag without my car. >> -- i do believe in affordable housing and i believe we need to keep people working and living in the same area, and i want people to stop driving so much. >> the mtc has $350 million available to pay for infrastructure needed for new housing. cities can now tap into that money to start building. 5:50. san jose's popular music in the park is back, but for one night only. the event is turning 25. and to celebrate, a special one-night concert is being held tonight at st. james park. a latin rock band is headlining

the show which starts at 5:306789 one major difference in tonight's concert is that it's not free. tickets cost you $10 in advance, $15 at the gate. summer concert series was cancelled last year because organizers say the crowd got too big for the downtown venue. >> a nice way to kick off the weekend. >> mm-hmm. 5:51. a bay area astronomer makes an out of this world discovery. we'll talk about that coming up. it's gadget friday. it's not really a gadget, but we'll have fun with it anyway.

welcome back. it is 5:53. the san jose earthquakes will be taking on an unlikely opponent in santa clara tonight. we're talking about the bulls. no, not another pro soccer team. real bulls. some of the top professional bull riders in the country will be at buckshot stadium tonight. there will be a way in to see just how many quakes players it takes to equal the weight of a

single bull, and then after that, the quakes and the riders will take part in a friendly soccer match. and astronomer at mountain bay study institute is being credited with making an out of this world discovery. mark showalter apparently discovered a new moon over neptune. the study announced the discovery earlier this week. it's temporarily dubbed s/2004-in-1, is 12 miles across and very faint. there's no word on when showalter will get to name the moon since he discovered it. 5:54. scott mcgrew admits this gadget friday isn't really a gadget, though it does have some high continue tech connections. >> that's right. our producer kayla said, what do you mean, not a gadget? sometimes we can have fun with other stuff. it's a card board box. no battery. nowhere to plug it in. the high-tech connection, and there is one, is through the inventor. a former ebay executive and mom. she invented these things called

kiwi crates, sort of the wine of the month club, and each crate contains a craft or activity, and it's mailed to your house. so this one contains materials to create your own superhero cape. admittedly, you could probably find this at a craft store, you could buy one box, you can have a box shipped every month, and depending, laura, how often you subscribe, you're paying between $16 and $20 a box. yes, could you do this cheaper? absolutely. i like the idea of uncle scott loves you coming once a month. >> nice. >> there's a surprise once a month. i used to get a highlights magazine when i was a kid. remember those? it was kind of fun to get -- >> to get something in the mail. >> yeah. >> i have to tell you my best girlfriend knows this, and she -- >> yeah, it's really fun. the important thing, everything is in here. if you're a disorganized parent, unlike laura, if you're disorganized like i am, you

don't have the glue or the sparkles -- >> i have a box for all of that, and i like doing crafts with my kids. >> laura, by the way, makes her own sidewalk chalk. >> i did last night. >> perfect of a mom. >> are you serious? >> i did. i put it on facebook. >> oh, my goodness. >> make your own chalk. >> right. yeah. >> i poured myself a glass of wine for dinner. the different lives we lead. >> it was a metaphor. it wasn't supposed to be an actual -- >> yeah, mother of triplets can use that line, too. all right. checking the forecast now. probably a good day to maybe lounge with a glass of wine later, later, after work, of course. >> yeah, it's friday, after all. i love that shout-out to highlights. i remember them well. i was more into it. 77 in freemont. sending it over to my partner now in traffic. okay, no gallant either. >> we'll get the traffic in just
