4:30 am
new rules in effect at sfo as a direct result of the asiana airlines crash. the unprecedented move the airport is making this morning. also we have new video overnight of riots at a surfing event in southern california. we'll let you know what we learn from police. just one week left until another possible b.a.r.t. strike. negotiations at a standstill. let's take it outside live from the south bay. that's a look before the sunrises in san jose. get ready to start the workweek. it's monday, july 29. this is "today in the bay." here we go.
4:31 am
time to let the good times roll. 4:30 right now everybody. good to see you. i'm jon kelley. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. let's first check the forecast with meteorologist christina loren. >> good morning laura and jon, of course to you at home. getting into the last few days of july and temperatures are going to tumble. going in the opposite direction you might normally think. 59 degrees to start in sunnyvale. 57, good morning to you in livermore. wheel have your full forecast in a few moments. first want to check that drive. >> good morning, good morning. as you would imagine, the san mateo bridge moving smoothly. we'll look west. you can make out the high-rise lights across the bay as well. the map shows you not a lot of construction on the roads. that's pretty typical of a monday morning on a sunday. we have a little slowing that shows up north 280. reports of a small brush fire off the on-ramp. we have fire crews heading out there. we're tracking it as well.
4:32 am
i have seen slowing pop up in the last few through downtown. i'll track this for you. send it back to you. 4:31. the faa taking action in the wake of the deadly asiana crash. we have details on the change and why it happened. >> reporter: there are two ways a plane can land on a clear day at sfo, the pilot can do it visually or use instruments to guide the aircraft down to the runway. right now because of construction, one of those landing instruments called glide slopes are not available on two of sfo's main runways, including the one intended to be used by asiana when it crashed july 6. the instruments are expected to be back in service until late august. until then the faa is requesting foreign carriers to use another type of electronic help, through gps. we spoke to an ntsb official who says the move by the faa is extremely unusual.
4:33 am
>> i think it's very unusual given the fact that it's not isolated to one particular carrier, but currently involves multiple air carriers that they've classified as a foreign carrier flying into the united states. >> since the crash, the faa says it's noticed an increase in the number of so-called go-arounds at sfo when the pilots are using visual approaches to land. in these cases pilots have to abort landing and circle back around. today the faa says it is looking into an aborted landing by ava air on july 23. the plane was landing at ffo and the plane came in too low. >> all training programs at all airlines are not created equally. what we do with the legacy and regional carriers, the standards the faa sets for the pilot training doesn't necessarily reflect everything that takes place in a foreign air carrier
4:34 am
training program. >> reporter: kimberly tere, "today in the bay." we have new video to show you this morning at riots at a surfing competition down in southern california. these are protests down in huntington beach last night after the close of the u.s. open surfing competition. it apparently broke out after a fist fight between a couple people. that led to others selling bottles and tipping over things. witnesses say police had to use teargas and not-lethal projectiles to finally clear people out. police say they had things under control within about an hour and a half.

4:38 am
moments. let's see if there's anything going on the roads with mike. >> i have a warning for folks in palo alto. actually you know about this. look at this bright, bright sign. this is southbound side facing this sign. that's about the biggest distraction as you're passing by the ikea and ravens wood shopping center. i showed the earlier shot of the san mateo bridge which is looking really good as well. over near the bay bridge we have a smooth approach. our sensors are reading just below 60 miles per hour across the upper deck. 55 across the s curve. nothing unusual on the approach. the 15 is wrong. let me get rid of that. we'll get out to the live shot and show you what it's like. maybe it is 15 miles per hour for one of those cars but it doesn't really affect the rest of the cars. we do have construction between the coliseum and downtown. we i'll correct the typo. >> a real man living up to his
