>> and i'm jon kelley. good morning everybody. the good news is yes, b.a.r.t. trains are running but the reality is that might not be the case in less than 24 hours. yeah t 60-day cooling off period ends tonight at midnight and yes, we are still not sure if trains will be running in the morning. christie smith is live at the west oakland b.a.r.t. station. she spoke to riders who at this point are saying hey, they are tired of it. the back and forth has gone on too long. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, jon. frustrated is putting it mildly. at this point we still don't know if there will or won't be a b.a.r.t. strike. negotiations picking up later today. there is word of new tension at the table. at this point the commuters i'm speaking with seem resigned to the fact a b.a.r.t. strike will happen so they are going ahead and talking about their alternate plans. what's happening at this point is that we have new video of

trains rolling where commuters are telling us they thought that the 60-day cooling off period ordered was enough to get this whole deal worked out but so far that hasn't happened. for a while it looked like there was progress with b.a.r.t. and its largest unions. late last night the union said that b.a.r.t. looked like it was reversing course. b.a.r.t. withdrawing its offer, that's a miscommunication. this time the unions didn't give their usual 72-hour notice of a strike, saying they want to focus on making a deal happen. once again they are looking for other ways to get around. >> complete and total inconvenience. drive here, park here, take my hour nap before work. >> i'll have to drive, yeah. the difference is $300 a month between the b.a.r.t. fare and driving. >> not too happy about it but you do what you have to do. >> reporter: no, not happy at all.

if a strike does happen, b.a.r.t. will again offer shuttles, ac transit is using more big 60-foot buses, the ferries are boosting service. last time b.a.r.t. went on strike it fell during the fourth of july. it was a holiday. the concern this time it could be worse. i spoke with a union representative. they tell me they are going to go to the board of directors meeting this morning and speak there, then negotiations continue at noon. christie smith, "today in the bay." >> as always appreciate the update. we have more details on the b.a.r.t. labor talks. you might remember in early july b.a.r.t. workers did walk off the job almost five days leading to jammed up bridges and crowded buses. they agreed to extend the contract for 30 days until early august to try to reach a new agreement. when that could not be done the governor stepped in and mandated

the 60-day cooling off period which officially ends tonight at midnight f. a b.a.r.t. strike does go into effect check us out on nbcbayarea.com, there you will find transit alternatives, real time traffic updates and special rules about carpool lanes. also if workers do walk off the job, we'll get up earlier, get on the air bright and early to tep help you get around. >> libyan officials say the country's prime minister was set free. he was taken by gun men who claimed to have an arrest warrant. it appears libyan forces intervened in some way but the abductors did did not free him. voluntarily at least. it appears in retaliation for u.s. forces capturing a libyan al qaeda suspect. the white house is keeping close tabs on the news. we're going to get the latest

playoff game. >> that's a big event. bob redell is in the middle of it. bob, nothing short of a monumental game for the a's for a long list of reasons. >> reporter: yes, good morning to you, jon and laura. if the a's beat the detroit tigers tonight at o.co, first pitch just after 5:00, they would advance to the american league championship series and this might also help the team get out of o.co, to some better digs better than that structure behind me. consider what's been brought thup morning in this morning's chronicle. the success breeds excitement, motivates invest terse and local governments to loosen purse strings. cases in point, take 49ers and their new stadium. the paper wonders if there would have been support for that project the coach didn't get

them to the championship a couple years ago or the mariners back in the 80s and 90s, that team was stuck in theñi kingdom. voters struck down funding for a new stadium. then in 1995 the team won their division and voila the county approved funding. the chronicle arguing that let's say the a's do move on to the championship series, maybe something good will happen for them as far as getting new digs. the a's need their success tonight. and the track record is not very promising. this is the 6t time since 2000 the a's have been a wam i way from the division series. an in all of those attempts they failed. they lost. hopefully they are going to break that trend tonight. trending on twitter now #gold out, basically fans trying to

call prioritization. if we can't pay every bill pay treasury note holders first, china, and we'll get to social security recipients later. lew says that is a dangerous idea. there he is in the glasses and blue tie. he calls it irresponsible, he says the government really shouldn't try to prioritize what it owes because all debt should be treated equal. strangely, if the u.s. does default it could help social security. admittedly this is a weird silver lining. if we turn into the world dead beats interest goes up and social security's investment is in treasuries. so social security would make money on the deal so. this is proof the whole thing is a lot more complicated. some on capitol hill say default would have no effect. there is no historic proof of that because we've never done it. here is another thing that might not work the way you think. u.s., we're freezing aid to

europe to show our displeasure there. when it comes to military aid we don't send money, our money is paid to american factories that make humvees, tanks, whatnot. products are sent. as lawmakers point out that is actually costing american1,,ñ j. back at home stock analysts look at twitter's s-1 filing. they think they found a clue when twit ser going to ipo. there is a line that twit ser going to allow employees to start selling stock in february f. you do some math you get ipo filing of november 15. i want to say congratulations to the people at pr, ico. they looked at this. i glanced. they went page by page. they found it, nice job, november 15. >> scott, a glance and he's got

laura. very early this morning we started tracking this, the prime minister of libya ali zeidan, abducted by what we later learned were rebel groups. this was political not related to our own raid last weekend. now he's been tweeting that he's fine, back in the office as you said. he has been meeting with officials there, and he has been on live tv talking about the situation. apparently they had him for six hours after gun men captured him from the hotel where he had been living. he is under scrutiny for corruption and some of these rebel groups urged him to step down. tweeting after he was released he said if this was an attempt to get me to resign it didn't work, i am not resigning. so, that situation that seemed so urgent earlier this morning seems to be over with the prime minister safe but under scrutiny.

>> good news that he's safe. thank you. >> to the latest on the government shutdown, some 20 top republicans will meet with president obama at the white house today looking for some way to try and solve two major issues. both hoping to reach some kind of agreement on ending the partial government shutdown, at least they are hoping to do that, also they don't have to raising the debt ceiling. the president invited the house gop but speaker john boehner opted for a smaller group. the white house now accusing boehner of trying to exclude tea party republicans, those who the president is trying to reach. >> the government shutdown is hurting the craft beer industry. the government agency is responsible for approving new applications for brews and labels. because the agency is closed nothing is getting approved. that means seasonal suds especially for the holidays probably won't make to the

get on the shuttle. i had various options. it was taking my commute from a usual 30 minutes to two and three hours. >> are you surprised we're back in this position again? >> yes, i am. it's just like come on now. you've had 60 days. how much longer do you guys need. >> reporter: the last b.a.r.t. strike was a couple of days in the beginning of july and it fell on the fourth of july holiday so many were off for vacation, the fear is this time if a strike does happen it may be worse. both sides, though, say throughout all of this they think they could reach a deal rather quickly. we'll see if that happens. unions saying they will go to the meeting in oakland this morning and voice their opinions on this and then negotiations pick up again at noon. christie smith, "today in the bay." >> we're certainly watching. more details on the b.a.r.t. labor talks, you might recall in

early july b.a.r.t. workers walked off the job for almost five days leading to jammed bridges, crowded buses throughout the bay area. b.a.r.t. and the unions then agreed to extend the current contract for 30 days to try to reach an agreement. when that could not be done governor brown stepped in, mandating the 60-day cooling off period which ends at midnight. if a strike happens head to our website, nbcbayarea.com, there you find transit alternatives, real time traffic updates and special rules about with carpool lanes. also if workers walk off the job, we're going to be here for you as well.

jose. you don't have to add ac, we can save money if you don't have to use that like we did all over the summer. the fun stuff, game five, 5:00 looking pretty good out there. tigers versus the a's. 68 degrees. winds are going to pick up over the game. out of the west, 10 to 15 miles per hour. we could see those pick up and carry the ball out toward right or right center field. so look for that if you watch that game as we head through tonight. friday into saturday temperatures are going to continue to warm up. the low to mid 80s. so really, hitting thatño' swee stride. >> we're hitting that sweet spot on the commute. a slower walk, as the volume builds no big surprises into the south bay. we're easing into the commute, slow spot for 101 around capital expressway and north of 680.
