"today in the bay's" christie smith joins us live from that

location. have they officially been evicted yet? >> good morning to you, marla. so far, no eviction activity. we haven't seen any sheriff deputies out here at all. in theo, it could happen at any moment on a family who has been living here for 34 years raising their family in a two-bedroom apartment. they say that the building's new owner came in and told them, look, you are being evicted under something called the ellis act. they say they are standing their ground. gum gi lee says, no, she is standing up to a system that puts developers over people. the 74-year-old says she has raised seven kids with her husband in a two-bedroom, rent-controlled apartment here on jackson street. she says she can't afford the one-bedrooms, what they are going for now, about $2,000 a month in this area, specially those close to her disabled daughter's school and doctors. this law allows property owners to clear a building with buyouts. the rental units are supposed to be fixed up and put back on the

market but there is a loophole. lee spoke with us through an interpreter. >> translator: i just feel really stressed, really anxious. >> you target undervalued, rent-controlled properties. you get a lender to finance it, clear the property of the tenants, renovate it and resell it as luxury tenancy in common units the san francisco rent board says in the first six months of last year, 62 san francisco landlords had filed ellis act eviction notices. that number nearly doubled, 125 so far this year. certainly, changing with the skyrocketing housing market. david chu says changes are needed. for one, he would like to give seniors and the disabled in this situation under the ellis act priority on affordable housing lists throughout the city. reporting live in san francisco,

christie smith, "today in the bay." students at a south bay high school return to class after returning that a popular math teacher has been arrested accused of having sex with a minor. >> he is also finding some support online. >> good morning to you, laura, in support of hugo cortes guzman that paint him as a positive role model for students here at santa claire high. santa clara police have a different opinion. yesterday, late afternoon, they took cortes guzman in for questioning and after that interview, they arrested him for having sex with a minor. it is not clear whether that person is a student at santa clara high. cortes guzman teaches math at the school and he is also involved in avid, a program that helps mostly low-income students prepare for college. the district has sent out a letter to parents letting them know about this arrest alerting them he has been placed on leave. the letter asks parents not to

jump to any conclusions that he is presumed innocent. if anyone has any more information about this case, to contact police. with regards to what you were mentioning that was happening online, there have been a few young people, possibly students at santa clara high, who have opened up on twitter about his arrest. one tweet reads he was my favorite teacher in santa clara. another, cortes guzman, an amazing teacher who cares for students and the school. and i'm quoting here, stop believing these dumb rumors, i believe he is not guilty, unquote. bob redell, "today in the bay." gunshots still being fired in that upscale mall in kenya even after the country's president declared an end to the four-day standoff. a government spokesman saying the shots were fired by kenyan forces as they go through the building. in fact, we have seen smoke coming from the mall this morning. it is unclear what is actually causing it.

the sweep is keeping the coroner from recovering bodies from the mall and kenyan authorities say it is possible the death toll and attack could double. at least 61 people are confirmed dead. it is possible more victims are trapped inside the rubble in the part of the mall that collapsed during the siege. today, kenyans are beginning their three official days of mourning. flags will be flying at half-staff throughout nairobi. new details in the massive earthquake that struck southwestern pakistan yesterday. the government just announced the death toll has, rather, jumped to 271, at least 375 people are injured. this morning, rescuers are struggling to help thousands of people left homeless after their homes just collapsed. the shaking from the magnitude 7.7 quake was felt as far away as new delhi, the capital of india. how about this? local media reports also showed

video of a small island that emerged in the arabian sea after the quake and hit pakistan. the island is apparently the result of earth and mud ush ppu to the surface by the quake. it is unclear whether it is made of soft mud or rocks and harder material. you can see it off in the distance. scientists aren't sure if the island will stay put or if it is just going to subside back into the ocean. scientists are hoping to visit the island to get samples of the soil to find out. >> they say it is small but from a distance, it is a pretty good size. good morning, laura, marla. everybody at home. want to start with the coast and show you it is nice and clear. this is the golden gate bridge. part of the reason is because we have pretty strong winds. if we see any flight delays, they will likely be caused by

wind and not the fog delays. we want to point out severe sustained wind speeds picking up. concord, 15 miles an hour, oakland, 14 miles an hour. livermore, still down in the single digits. that's all going to change as we get into the afternoon, gusty winds start to pick up, specially between 1:00 and 5:00. we all know what happens at 1:00, that america's cup race is down to the wire now. the final race. if it does take place, you can catch all that action right here at 1:00 p.m. on nbc bay area. you want to set your tebows if you can't stay home to watch it. it is going to be really exciting after that fake oracle comeback. we are expecting 62 at 1:00, 63 at 2:00. kind of cool conditions if you are going to be headed out and about. nice and cool. hour by hour forecast tells the story of the day. we're going to be in the mid to upper 60s in places like san jose. meanwhile, expecting plenty of 70s inland. your full forecast in a few moments. the action is going to be out on

hold them and when to fold them. the markets trading lower four days in a row. the fight over the debt ceiling as you point out involves the full faith and credit of the united states. that's not something to treat lightly. treasury secretary, jack lieu, says the u.s. could have less than $50 billion in cash when the country hits the debt ceiling mid-october. by comparison, facebook is worth more money than that. apple has about three times as much sitting around in cash. amazon introducing several new kindle ebook readers this morning. they are thinner, lighter. the things that are getting the most attention is a special app. press it and you get help instantly from amazon itself. >> you can press this button. a tech support adviser will appear on your screen and co-pilot you through anything you might want to do. they can draw on your screen, show you how to do things.

head throughout the afternoon. gusts will remain about the same. look at how strong they are through altamont. we are seeing gusts up to 57 miles an hour. 41, sfo. that's the strongest gust we have had so far. pa chaco pass hitting 37 miles per hour and 37-mile-per-hour winds gusts clocked in santa clara. it is windier out there andt is going to get even windier. it is a dry area. we still could see a stray shower or two. i stopped the clock right at 3:00 p.m. a little bit of activity in the east bay at that point. very light showers at best. through the north bay, stop that clock at about 4:00 p.m., still getting some action from fairfield north woward. we are going to see clearing between 5:00 and 9:00. the wind will stay with us.

flow. although, it builds as far as the volume goes, west 580 through livermore. it has changed from yellow to orange. a smooth flow of traffic as you head over towards the east bay drive, 880 coming down through hayward and union city. the dumbarton bridge moves smoothly. so does the san mateo bridge. there is a wind advisory. gusty conditions at times. be prepared to hold on tight. you should hold on anyway. we are getting a live look outside and see how things are shaping up over here. we are starting to see a little slowdown. you see the cars hitting those brakes. that's because the backup has passed west grand avenue and making its way back toward the berkeley curve. one last look at the peninsula. southbound 101 as you head down toward oregon expressway.

filibuster. for most of the night, all we saw was ted cruz, sometimes all by himself. what we are told by his staff, with a brand new pair of black sneakers, talking on and on and on. trying to delay this vote. what do you say in the middle of the night when you have said all about you want to say about health care and it is bedtime for your kids would you like them here or there? i would not like them here or where. i would not like them anywhere. i do not like green eggs and ham. i do not like them, sam, i am. >> there you go. a little bit of everything we've heard in the last almost 18 hours now. bottom line, this test vote today is still likely to happen. we are getting very close to next week and the budget showdown. that's really the issue here. they want to extract this health care issue from the budget so

look, you are being evicted under something called the ellis act. this couple, 74-year-old, gum gi lee, told us they are not leaving. they pay about $778 a month. state law allows property owners to xleer oclear out the buildin buyouts. the rental units are supposed to be fixed up and put back on the market. there is a way to get around that, to resell it is a luxury tenancy in common. housing advocates say it happens quite often specially when the market heats up. david khu says that changes are needed. in the meantime, he has a plan for local rules. we also spoke with lee through an interpreter. >> translator: my last day in this home and i don't know where to go. >> to create priorities for tennants who are seniors or disabled who have been ellis acted to receive priority in

waiting lists for affordable housing opportunities. >> reporter: to be clear, the court says the property owner is not breaking any laws at all. lee says she can't afford the $2,000 a month that one-bedrooms are going for in her neighborhood here by jackson and larkin. she says, it is very important to say here, because it is near her disabled daughter's school and doctors. we'll keep an eye on things if any activity picks up. we will let you know. reporting live, christie smith, "today in the bay." meteorologist, christina loren, is here to talk about the cooler temperatures today. it is certainly feeling like fall. >> feeling like fall, which means we get a brand new wardrobe. break out the scarfs, the boots, just for one day only, though. summer returns as we head through tomorrow's summerlike weather, i should say. we are mostly in the 50s. a couple 60s out there. at 6:47. taking a live look here at the bay bridge. traffic looks heavy there. we'll check on that with mike in a moment. look at this clear sky over the coast. we've got plenty of low clouds
