good morning, i'm kris sanchez. coming up on "today in the bay." >> emergency, emergency. train 331 -- >> we are hearing from the b.a.r.t. train operator who was on board when the train went off the elevated tracks. we'll also show you when service will be back to normal. plus poisoned food found in a popular bay area neighborhood for a second time. we'll show you the warning for pet owners. and we'll take you live to the sochi games one last time as the winter games wrap up until 2018. this is "today in the bay."

another beautiful day on tap, another start to the stay. we see some clouds and you might be wondering whether they will bring rain. thanks for joining us. i'm kris sanchez along with meteorologist rob mayeda. it is good to see those clouds. >> it is making for a bit of a different start around the bay area. yesterday we had nothing but sunshine. this morning a lot of gray. looking from emeryville back to san francisco and some misty skies, some of those gray skies we're seeing around the bay area. our temperatures this morning running a little warmer than yesterday. 40s and 50s outside around san jose, but in the north bay we're seeing low clouds a little closer to ground level so we do have some patchy fog with 42 degrees right now in santa rosa. visibility in a few spots dropping down to about a quarter mile at times. so that's something you'll want to watch out for the rest of the morning. as we head into the afternoon, we will see temperatures

climbing into the 60s, maybe close to 70 in the tri-valley. but some rain is coming back into the forecast in the middle part of the week. we'll talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. in just about an hour, b.a.r.t. service should be back to normal in the east bay. crews worked through the night to finish repairs from friday's train derailment. the accident happened as the train was leaving the concord b.a.r.t. station around 6:30 friday night. >> emergency, emergency. >> go ahead, please. >> train 331, unirail, concord, concord 2. >> that's the b.a.r.t. operator calling for help from inside this train as he looked down from the elevated line. witnesses say it appeared something went wrong at the switch between the two parallel tracks. >> it hopped over so the second car -- first car tried to go on this track, second car tried to go on that track and it went downhill from there. >> this derailment is very close

to the one in 2011. you know, certainly that will be part of the investigation to see if there's any relation. >> b.a.r.t. officials say the focus is getting the repair work done which began almost immediately after the accident friday evening. passengers will be glad to be done with the bus bridge that's running in place. we are following developing news in ukraine which saw a dramatic shift in power this weekend. a day after agreeing to a broad series of reforms and concessions, the country's president fled the presidential palace. the parliament voted to impeach him and protesters seized control of the capital. while it is unclear where victor is he vowed to maintain the presidency. the army refused to back the president. >> you are witnessing the collapse of dictatorship, but the idea is to start the

creation of a new ukraine, which will be based on human rights and human dignity. >> in another victory for protesters, parliament ordered the release of a main rival who was thrown into jail two years ago. when she arrived to independence square, she arrived to a hero's welcome. hundreds of people here in the bay area rallied in support of the anti-government protests in ukraine. they also called on the international community to make sure that there is a peaceful resolution during the transition. >> this is not over. we need to maintain vigilance, make sure that ukraine has free and fair elections in the next couple months. >> the ukrainian community in the bay area has raised thousands of dollars to purchase tents, gasoline and boots for protesters in ukraine. some uc berkeley students holding a protest in san francisco today are hoping it

will bring more attention to the violence happening in venezuela. for the last two weeks protesters have held marches, set fires in the streets and clashed with police. they have been protesting short annuals of basic goods, high inflation and high crime levels across the country. at least ten people have killed. now these uc berkeley students from venezuela say it is time for a change. they are hoping the united nations and political leaders will help step in to end the blood shed. >> it's hard for me to be far away and not know what to do to help them. i think the biggest thing we can do from here is spread the word. young people are being killed and no one is paying attention, no one is doing anything. >> the protests will be held at the golden gate bridge at noon where students are hoping to form a human chain across the bridge. they're inviting anyone interested to come. it is one of more than 100 protests to take place this weekend tlouz the u.s. also in san francisco someone is serving up poisoned meatballs. the same kind of poisoned-laced

meat that killed a dog last summer. animal control officers have found 21 meatballs like these in the twin peaks neighborhood. they tell nbc bay area most of them were along crest line drive. so far they have not heard of any pets of being sick or being killed by the meatballs. and here is one of our last looks at the olympic flame, as the games reach the final day of competition. after the last two events of course comes the closing ceremony. it was a disappointing day for team usa in sochi yesterday, as american athletes had nine chances at medaling, but fell short of the podium. it was especially rough on the slopes in the men's slalom. the world's best skiers spent the day stumbling down the mountain in the final alpine skiing race of the sochi games. 12 of the top 30 racers in the final group failed to navigate all 67 gates, including american

ted ligety, who was obviously frustrated by that course. >> i think this might be the last hurrah for athletes and other coaches. we'll see. i think all of the athletes and the crowd back there were -- most of the guys were human, even if they were supposed to be on the podium. >> ted ligety was sixth after his first run but did not finish his second run. os tree ya took gold and silver, norway took bronze. now to the four-man bobsled, nick cunningham is in third place after the first two runs. his teammate is in fourth place. cunningham says he's not ready to give up. the two american teams will finish their two final runs today. >> you don't want to fall into a deficit so that's where we're at. we're behind the eight ball.

we'll keep plugging away and come out and give it our best so we can walk out of here pretty proud. >> the dutch speed skating teams won gold in the men's and ladies team pursuit events on saturday. it is an event that looks a lot like track cycling with teams of three skaters racing around the track. americans placed seventh in the men's competition and sixth in the ladies competition which marks the first medal shutout for team usa in long track speed skating since 1984. only a silver in friday's short track relay prevented a total shutout for both squads. coming up in our olympic coverage of the sochi games, the men's cross country freestyle event starting at 2:00 this afternoon and the final run in the men's four-man bobsled race. then we have the closing ceremony of the winter games starting at 8:30, of course right here on nbc bay area. coming up in ten minutes, our own janelle wang uncovers a closely guarded olympic park secret. also ahead on "today in the

bay" how plenty of vacation could prove costly in more ways than one. our investigative unit takes a look at the latest online phishing scam. plus thousands of workers at california campuses say enough is enough and they're ready to hit the pitting lines. we'll show you what pushed those employees to agree to a strike.

good morning once again. it is sunday morning and we are starting with some gray skies overhead, but a mild day. rain in the forecast. this look at emeryville and now we go to oakland where we see the same cloud cover around the bay. we'll talk with rob mayeda about the forecast in just a bit. online scammers are targeting people who are looking for a little r & r, stealing the personal financial information that we give up when we book vacations through sites like vacation rental by owner and its

parent site home away. as you might imagine, there is a light of money exchanging hands. and now there are more than a half million rental homes worldwide listed on these sites. victims claim the sites have lacked security, which experts say sometimes makes for easy picking. >> those using phishing attacks are extremely sophisticated. they can actually replicate what real vendors can do and do subtle things to the links in those e-mails and phone numbers so that the consumer has no idea they may be dealing with somebody who's intent on scamming them. >> homeaway and vrbo say it correlates with the growth of their companies but phishing results in loss less than 1% of the time. tonight our investigative unit uncovers the story of several victims who have been targeted. after the olympics at 11:00,

find out what you can do to protect yourself. thousands of people who work for the university of california are planning a strike next month. more than 21,000 employees throughout the uc system are expected to go on strike from march 3rd to march 7th. about 8400 of those employees are service workers who want better wages and better staffing. add to that 13,000 patient care workers from uc's five medical centers who say they will strike in solidarity. one of those is in san francisco. the university of california has been negotiating with the unions for more than a year now. school officials argue that the strike will only hurt students, patients and the community. coming up on "today in the bay" we head back to season where janelle wang uncovered appear olympic park mystery. and google is cutting off its free wi-fi on the peninsula. what mountain view is doing to replace the service. and we have plenty of low clouds outside this morning. misty skies closer to san

francisco. a look at your seven-day forecast when we come right back.

take a look at san rafael. the clouds there just a little bit lower than they are in san jose. a wild start to the day, but the good news is you can enjoy the mild temperatures because there is rain on the way. sochi's olympic park is brand new, but there is something inside the park that is a century old, and only a handful of people know about it, including our own super sleuth, janelle wang. >> reporter: you could walk this park 100 times and still wouldn't see it. it's hidden, and hidden on purpose. it's only when you start asking questions is when you may get an answer. next to the brand new arena, below the olympic cauldron and in the middle of olympic park sits a circle of trees, a mystery. the strategic dense greenery

doesn't strike much curiosity from those passing by. on the olympic it's just a dark green circle. >> i haven't peeked over the trees. >> but victor diaz from austin, texas, is here in sochi exploring his seventh olympics and wants to know what's behind those trees. >> do you think it's maybe where they keep the garbage? >> but getting there isn't easy. >> it's a fence. i just see concrete, grass. i don't see any people. so whatever is in there, they don't want people there. >> reporter: security guards stand out front, and after circling the area, he finds an opening and goes for it. >> peek over the top. oh, my god, it's a graveyard. >> reporter: it's a 100-year-old cemetery that used to sit on farmland. the farmland was bull dozed to make room for olympic park, but the graveyard is sacred and cannot be moved. the graveyard will remain, even after these winter games have come and gone. >> i love the olympics so much that it would not bother me at all to be buried right in the

middle of an olympic park. >> reporter: those buried here at the cemetery are descendants of the old believers, one of the first colonies to settle here along the black sea. they were moved to a nearby village, but russian authorities out of respect for them have decided to preserve the cemetery, which has about 100 graves. so a lot of history buried deep in this olympic park. reporting from the sochi games, janelle wang, nbc bay area news. >> in addition to snooping around, janelle wang is also blogging about her sochi adventures on nbcbayarea.com. you can find her sochi blog at the top of our home page. you can also follow her on twitter @janellewang. and now let's check in with rob mayed eed afor a look at th seven-day forecast. >> there's some rain in the forecast as we approach the middle part of the week. this morning a big change from yesterday. we had nothing but sunshine yesterday morning at this time but here's the difference obviously. low clouds and fog and the base of the low clouds at the top

there of the golden gate bridge this morning so the ceiling cho close to 500 to 600 feet high. also some mist along the coast at times too and our temperatures not quite as chilly as yesterday morning. 40s to low 50s outside right now. if you head up to truckee, a dry commute there. 19 degrees this morning. let's take you to the south bay and you'll see 40s and 50s around san jose. 45 currently at morgan hill. over at the tri-valley some pretty thick fog in livermore. around the peninsula this morning we have numbers in the mid-40s south of san francisco and 40s and still some upper 30s in parts of the north bay near novato this morning. 48 in fairfield. so in terms of the visibility in miles, notice santa rosa dropped down to less than a quarter mile in napa, so these locations you're going to see patchy, thick fog for the next hour or two. in san jose eight miles the current visibility but less than a mile out towards livermore.

so your 580 commute you'll run into low clouds and fog. other than the mist, no rain just yet. the storm track is off to the north and bringing rain and snow to the pacific northwest but you can see a lot of energy out here in the pacific that eventually will punch through that ridge of high pressure and lead to rainy conditions for us here in the bay area. as this high begins to move on, this relatively mild start to the weekend will give way to some rainy periods for the bay area starting towards tuesday and wednesday. as this high moves on out, we'll see the jetstream anchor itself across central and northern california. that will bring in the storm starting wednesday and some windy conditions too, especially come friday. we'll see those systems bring rain and wind to the bay area. the first round looks to be about wednesday morning. you can see it crossing through. heavier rain for parts of the north bay. as we go through thursday, it looks like a broef break. friday here comes the heavier rain. friday a few more scattered showers as the system moves on. rain totals due to the fact the systems are moving through

pretty quickly but that wednesday system may be close to a half inch in the north bay. between thursday and sunday you'll see rain totals 1 to 2 inches across north bay and also the south bay getting in on the action with that system come friday. should bring some pretty widespread rain of a half inch to 1 1/2 inches of rain for the lowlands on saturday. today once the fog clears not a bad day. mid to upper 60s around san jose. san francisco should see low 60s in the forecast today and we'll be watching those temperatures eventually climbing into the 70s, maybe close to the tri-valley we'll see those temperatures climbing on up. you'll notice in the seven-day forecast once we hit wednesday, you've got the rain coming in on friday and very likely another system will follow as we head into sunday and monday. so for the sierra, this means we could see several feet of new snow above 6,000 feet. now back to you. >> i know a lot of folks would like to see new snow in time for the weekend. google is pulling the plug on the free wi-fi service.

the network hasn't kept up with the increasing demand for data and there have been complaints about its reliability. the mercury news reports that google will take it down over the next two months. mountain view's city council is considering a plan this week to build a new public wi-fi system for the downtown area. that meeting coming up on tuesday. the dalai lama continues his bay area visit. coming up we'll show you why people of different faiths and different backgrounds are drawn to him and what protesters are trying to get his attention as well. ♪

here is a live look at the berkeley community theater in berkeley at berkeley high school where the dalai lama will speak in just about two hours. the dalai lama, the exiled leader of tibet continues his bay area visit with his speech in berkeley and two public appearances at santa clara university tomorrow. everywhere he goes, people are willing to wait and we'd say

rock star prices to see him. dr. david gray of santa clara university joins us this morning. thank you so much for getting up early with us today. >> thank you for having me. >> and you teach courses on buddhism and also tibetan buddhism which is a bit different. what do you think it is that draws people to want to hear what he has to say. >> on one hand the dalai lama is one of the most prominent world buddhist leaders and i think there's a growing interest in buddhism and meditation. but also the dalai lama is a very dynamic speaker with a very lively sense of humor. i think he just has an appeal that cuts across ethnic religious boundaries. >> he is the exiled spiritual leader of tibet. china not very happy that he came to the united states and was welcomed by the president, and not for the first time. what does this say about his clout not just as a spiritual leader but as a true political leader? >> well, since the -- since the

17th 17 treercentury, the dollas the head of state in tibet and until recently was considered the head of the tibetan government in exile since 1959. >> and so does it matter that china is unhappy that he is welcomed in the united states? >> well, i think it does matter. i mean china is increasingly more and more powerful economically and so forth, so the chinese government has great global influence now. on the other hand, the dalai lama is, you know, a person with great integrity and i think many people are willing and interested in listening to what he has to say. >> reporter: he released a message for 2014, and the focus really was personal firsts. like personal peace first and then spread that mess annual to other people. how do people of other faiths reconcile with that teaching or with that directive?

>> well, i think if you think about it, it's kind of a common sense idea. the idea is before we go out in the world and try to make the world a better place, we first have to work to make ourselves better people. with clearer minds and also with a greater ability to be compassionate toward others. until we do that, until we work through our own personal issues, ill will be very difficult to effectively help others. >> does this come from a buddhist place? does he preach as a buddhist? does he say you must convert if you want peace? >> oh, no, no, not at all. this is a buddhist teaching, but i think it's a common sense idea that many people can appreciate. he's not saying that you have to become a buddhist to do this, by no means. >> so what's interesting is at your university, santa clara university, he is going to be doing two talks and they're not just about spirituality or higher peace, inner peace, it's about business.

he's going to be talking about the ethics of business. what is that like, to be able to invite a spiritual leader to talk about silicon valley in that way? >> well, santa clara university is a jesuit catholic institution. from the perspective of santa clara university, the values coming from religious traditions can and should inform our action in other areas of life. so key religious teachings, such as compassion and charity, which we find in catholicism as well as buddhism are values that should guide us either as individuals or as he'll suggest as well, as businesses as well. >> so you don't have to give up your spirituality to be successful in business. >> by no means. >> thank you so much for coming in today. we appreciate it. we do have a crew out at the berkeley theater and they're locked down because he is a world leer, as you mentioned, so there's tight security but we'll have that for you tonight in our newscast later. thank you so much, dr. david

gray, for joining us from santa clara university. still ahead, we go back out to sochi and get another look at that olympic flame that burns on its last day. we'll also tell you what to watch for today in competition. plus president obama taking a big step on how to fight wildfire. a change of what the president wants ahead of what could be a very busy fire season, especially in the west. plus he's being called the osama bin laden of mexico. the world's top drug lord now in custody.

good morning to you. looking live at the golden gate bridge, and we're seeing a little less of it right now than we saw a little bit earlier this morning. san francisco also experiencing those low clouds, though we can see the bay bridge almost in full. thank you for joining us this morning. i'm kris sanchez. meteorologist rob mayeda is here with us as well and he has some good news in his forecast.

>> good news if you want to see sunshine a little later on. the low clouds we have this morning very thin. you're starting to see the sun try to break through around san francisco. in the north bay around san rafael you can see misty skies with those low clouds and fog and some of that fog is pretty thick, reducing visibilities down to less than a mile. right now in san jose you've got the 40s in san jose. 49 degrees. livermore 42. some low 40s around the tri-valley. north bay 42 currently in santa rosa and visibility, especially from napa to santa rosa less than a mile this morning. you see the numbers down into san jose, just under 10 miles visibility. livermore about a third of a mile so a foggy start to the morning but the clouds will break up towards lunchtime. south bay should be in the mid-60s by noon, the peninsula by the mid-60s later on today. san francisco low 60s for the afternoon and near 70 in the tri-valley later on this afternoon near livermore. as you head over to fairfield, you'll see warm temperatures today. no rain in the forecast, at least for now, other than the

misty skies we have. but then all the clouds off to the west will break through the high pressure and bring us several chances for rain this week. a look at your seven-day forecast coming up in just a few minutes. in just about 30 minutes b.a.r.t. service should be back to normal in the east bay. crews worked through the night to finish those repairs from friday's train derailment. the accident happened as the train was leaving the concord b.a.r.t. station friday night. >> emergency, emergency. >> go ahead, please. >> train 331, unirail concord, concord 2. >> you can hear the tension in that b.a.r.t. operator's voice as he called for help inside the train as he looked down from that elevated line. witnesses say it looked like something went wrong at the switch between the two parallel tracks. >> it hopped over, so the second car tried to -- the first car tried to go on this track, second car tried go on that track and it went downhill from

there. >> this derailment is very close to the one in 2011. certainly that will be part of the investigation, to find out if there's any relation there. >> they will continue that investigation, but b.a.r.t. officials say the focus right now is on getting the repair work done, which began almost immediately after the accident friday evening. passengers will be very glad to be done with that bus bridge that ran in its place. some uc berkeley students holding a protest in san francisco today are hoping it will bring more attention to the violence happening in venezuela. for the last two weeks protesters have held marches. they have set fires in the streets and clashed with police. they are protesting shortages of basic goods, high inflation and high crime levels across the country. at least ten people have been killed. and now these uc berkeley students from venezuela say it is time for a change. they are hoping the united nations and political leaders will step in to end the blood shed. >> it's hard for me to be far

away and not know what to do to help them. so i think the biggest thing that we can do from here is spread the word. young people are being killed, and like no one is paying attention, no one is doing anything. >> the protests will be held at the golden gate bridge at noon, where the students say they hope to form a human chain across the bridge. they are inviting anyone with interest to come. it is more than 100 protests to take place this weekend throughout the u.s. the uc berkeley football player who died at a teamworkout earlier this month will bow honored at a ceremony tomorrow night. this is video of a candle lit vigil held for ted agu a few days after his death. he was a public health major from bakersfield who planned to go to medical school. tomorrow's memorial service is set for 6:30 at hoss pavilion. in new york, carbon monoxide at a mall is being blamed for the death of one person and more than two dozen people getting sick. the man who died was the manager of a restaurant at that mall and

21 other people who were sick are believed to be employees of the same restaurant. three police officers and four ambulance personnel were also treated. carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless and can lead to death by suffocation. investigators say it is likely the heating system in the basement caused the carbon monoxide poisoning. president obama says he wants to change the way the federal government pays for fighting wildfires. there is a cap set each year on the amount of money that can be used to fight wildfires but there's no funding limit so when it comes to responding to hurricanes and tornados, things are different. the president is planning to ask congress to treat all natural disasters in the same way. g-20 finance ministers including jack lew have agreed to accelerate global growth by 2% over the next five years. the australian treasurer called the agreement a major step forward as he made that announcement today at a g-20

meeting in sydney. the centerpiece of the commitment is to boost gross domestic product by 2% for the next five years, which would help boost the world economy by more than $2 trillion. finance ministers believe this could create millions of new jobs. >> if you look at over a year ago debating austerity, this was a debate about how can we work together to share best practices and develop an approach where our individual economies can grow and the global economy can hit the objective that's set forth in the communique. >> that g-20 communique will be released to the public this afternoon. in mexico, the world's top drug lord is now in custody after 13 years on the run. officials say joaquin guzman is behind bars after being arrested by mexican marines in the resort town. guzman is head of the notorious group which is extremely violent and uses tunnels to sneak

billions of dollars of drugs into the u.s. he has been described as the osama bin laden of mexico. authorities have been searching for him since 2001 when he escaped from a maximum security prison, allegedly in a laundry truck. and a live look at the olympic flame, as the games reach the final day of competition. after the last event comes the closing ceremonies. and security is of course very tight at olympic park in sochi today ahead of that closing ceremony. police and other authorities could be seen patrolling the park and it was also a heavy police presence near all of the olympic venues. security was a major concern leading up to the games and during the games in the north caucasus mountains threatening an attack. so far there have been no major incidents. after two weeks of competition the olympics will be brought to a close later tonight during a lavish ceremony. team usa is hoping to finish

strong in sochi. on their last day the americans are focused on the bobsledding track and defending their gold in the four-man event which they dominated four years ago in vancouver. jay gray has a closer look this morning from sochi. >> reporter: with only three events left and no chance at winning the overall medal count, team usa is still trying to close out the games on the medal stand. it won't happen in hockey. the canadians sending team usa home and today getting a chance to defend their olympic championship against sweden. >> we had close games the whole way but this is what we wanted, a chance at the gold medal and we got it. >> reporter: four americans will be in the free start but perhaps the best chance for medal for team usa will come in the four-man bobsled. the u.s. team is in fourth place after the first two runs. >> i think we're sitting pretty. we're only 0.01 out of a medal,

that can easily be made up. it's not over yet. >> reporter: when it does end at tonight's closing ceremony, four-time olympian julie chu will lead the americans into olympic stadium one last time. >> i have goosebumps on my arms just thinking about all the incredible, inspiring athletes, part of this team usa delegation. to be amongst one of them and be a chance to be a flag bearer is absolutely an honor. >> reporter: leading a group that has honored our country with their effort at these games. jay gray, nbc news, sochi. coming up in our kuncoveragf the sochi games, the men's cross country freestyle event starts at 2:00 this afternoon and the final runs in the four-man bobsled race. then we have the closing ceremony starting at 8:30 tonight. all of it, of course, right here on nbc bay area. coming up on "today in the bay," a nail biter at oracle arena and it came right down to the wire. the question, could the warriors

hold off the nets in the final moment? that's coming up next.

looking live at oracle arena this morning, which was rocking last night as the warriors took on a jason kidd-led brooklyn nets. the oakland native was coaching his first game here in the bay yar but the warriors were looking to spoil his debut. let's get right to the fourth quarter where newcomer steve blake finds jermaine o'neal for the dunk. o'neal finished with a season high 23 points. the warriors up two late when stephen curry seals the deal banking in the three-pointer. the warriors win their third in a row, 93-86. what a smile. some surprising news out of spring training this morning. former giants outfielder barry bonds will begin working for the team next month as a special hitting instructor. something that was first reported by the san jose

"mercury news." the team president said that bonds had a desire to contribute and that the team is open-minded about giving him the same invite that has been given to other former giants. still ahead on "today in the bay," the future of california state legislature is brought into question after a state senator is charged with several counts of corruption. our political analyst, larry gerston, talks about where we go from here. [ mom ] hi, we're the pearsons, and we love chex cereal. so we made our own commercial to tell you why. first, chex makes lots of gluten free flavors. which is a huge thing for us. and there's seven to choose from. like cinnamon, honey nut, and chocolate. i tell them "you guys are gonna turn into chocolate chex!"

i like cinnamon, greg is a honey nut nut. when you find something this good, you want to spread the word. [ all ] we're the pearsons, and we love chex!

recent federal charges against democratic state senator ron calderon of southern california raised serious questions about the legislature's ability to act for the public good. political analyst larry gerston joins us now. good morning action larry. >> good morning. >> what does this mean for the legislature here in california? >> right off the bat it's really hard to say. this thing is sort of unfolding. we don't know yet whether the charges raised will be raised against other legislators, as he might have attempted to bribe them. we know this much. he right now needs to think about 400 years in prison.

400 years. now, we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves here either, kris. there's a difference between one corrupt legislator and a legislature dominated by a culture of corruption. but we know this, we know this, this kind of thing is not done by one person. legislation is not done by one person but by majorities in both chambers. calderon here has been charged with 24 counts, including money laundering, bribery, those kinds of things. when we think about bribery, the question is if there was bribery, who'd he bribe? and did he bribe fellow legislators to get their votes on his bills? so these are the kinds of questions that are going to be raised in the next few days. >> we always talk about how difficult things are in the state legislature and how kind of toxic it can get sometimes. but what does this say about the process? i mean is it really beyond

repair? >> you know, one definition of legislation is like sausage. tastes great but you don't want to know what's in it, right? and that's sort of like what legislation is about. it's a messy process to say the least of the you know, here, so many compromises and whatnot, but along with representing the constituents and proposing the laws that legislators really believe in, these folks are inundated by lobbyists who legally make their cases for their clients and often contribute lots of money to legislators' campaigns. those are just givens. a lobbyist can give money to a legislator, that's fine. that's okay, that's legal. as long as it does not come as what we call a quid pro quo. i'm giving you something, you're giving me something right back, exactly what i want. no, no, no, that's a no-no. and calderon's case, well, he's accused of taking money, you know, to make sure the state passed laws to ensure more

income for a hospital doing business in the with the state. lots of other special interest bills along the way, to benefit horse racing in one case, to help pay lenders in another case. so when you're talking about going to the quid pro quo from just giving money, that's the slippery slope. >> and this is even more complicated because his brother has also been indicted, his brother a lobbyist. so it speaks to kind of how incestuous it can be. >> and so what does it say about the legislature? are they all damned with this? not as long as the issue is contained to calderon. they did a due diligence and they were quick to demand that calderon take a complete leave of absence or step down altogether until this issue gets

resolved. but if other legislators received those bribes, that's going to be a different ball game. meanwhile, republicans, you know, they have been such an endangered species in california in the legislature, well, now they have got something to talk about, from beating in the polls to today's news. that's the kind of thing they're going to be asking about others who may have been involved in the calderon scandal as a result of this terrible, in their eyes, one party domination. you know, what's happened, do we have a culture of corruption here? it's a good opportunity for the republicans to really get in here and make their case for getting more representation to offset, if you will, that huge democratic majority. >> and this is no longer a state matter, this is a federal matter. >> oh, no, this is all federal. this is all federal. they have at this with calderon for more than a year. 24 counts, 400 years. 400 years if all of it comes down. so there's a lot at stake for him, for his family, for the legislature and some might say

the state. >> all right, thank you very much, larry. we will see you next week. still ahead on "today in the bay," jimmy fallon makes a monstrous debut. we'll take a look at the numbers in his impressive first week and why it may be setting him up for a slight letdown. and ahead we could see a big week for some rain. right now we've just got a lot of low clouds to clear around san jose. another look at your sunday forecast when we come right back.

good morning once again. foggy to low cloud start depending on where you are around the bay area this morning. right now in san jose you're seeing a lot of low clouds, temperatures in the upper 40s. you notice as you get into the north bay north of the golden gate bridge, you've got some mist with some of those low clouds around san rafael. visibility, by the way, down around santa rosa at times this morning. well, currently it's down to less than a quarter mile and you can see that towards napa and santa rosa this morning. a half mile or less in the north bay. five miles the current visibility in san francisco and also out towards the tri-valley,

you'll see it in livermore, low clouds right around 580 for this morning. the bigger pattern change will come up for the first half of the week. high pressure which has been hoegd on will give ground which means right now the radar is dry other than the mist and the low clouds but you can see a lot of energy there offshore. that is going punch through the ridge of high pressure which yesterday brought our high temperatures all the way up in the 60 and low 70s. today not quite as warm as this high begins to weaken and eventually slides on off towards the east. so it's brought in some fog this morning, a sign that we had the sea breeze pick up after that warm day yesterday. at that still dry, but the changes will begin to arrive late tuesday. the high moves on toward the east. you'll see this trough form across the west coast and kind of like a runway. the first one coming in on wednesday with breezy conditions. then as we get into friday and saturday, we will see systems that bring more wind and very likely some heavy rain for friday. so tracking the timing of this

first system, it looks like it's going to come in during the day on wednesday and the computer models spreading that rain a little further south. this is round one. round two comes after a brief break on thursday. as you get into friday, you can see this system has more rain and will have some stronger winds. probably 40-mile-per-hour winds at least, especially out by the coast, so some of the heavier rain transitioning into central and southern california. so for the reservoirs south of san jose, there's good news for farmers. they'll see a pretty good wetting rain with that system on friday. by saturday we'll see the showers turn over to scattered showers. slight chance of thunder on saturday and a midweekend break from the rain. rain totals fairly yes, sir iim for the north bay. but the south bay getting a lot more than we've seen recently and the fast-moving nature of the systems will keep the rain totals 1 to 2 inches around the

lowlands but the south bay could be getting 3 to 5 inches of rain. not a bad day, upper 60s, maybe close to 70 in the warmest spots around the south bay. san francisco seeing low 60s. upper 60s around the north bay. tri-valley near 70 today. you'll notice in the seven-day forecast, from here temperatures begin to cool off. rain starts to pick up on wednesday. but for the ending of the weekend at least, the travel forecast for lake tahoe and reno looks pretty nice. as the rain and snow begins to return, we could add up snow totals above 6,000 feet by the foot come friday and saturday. >> wouldn't that be nice. thanks, rob. former snl writer and weekend update coanchor seth meyers takes over at host of nbc's "late night" on monday. he'll go from doing one show on snl to doing five a week as the new host of "late night." >> i think "late night" will be more civilized. there's nothing sizzlized about

the "saturday night live" schedule. at least this job, this new schedule i think i can at least shower and shave every day. >> the 12-year snl veteran says that even if it is a late-night job, now is the right time to take a regular job because he is a married guy. speaking of talk show hosts, jimmy fallon's first week of "the tonight show" pulled in massive ratings. his friday night show with guest justin timberlake had 8.8 million viewers, capping a week of ratings that haven't been matched since the "cheers" finale back in 1993. next week will be the true audience attention test. this past week the show aired after coverage of the olympic games which played a role and featured a stellar lineup of guests including the first lady, jerry seinfeld, lady gaga, will ferrell and u2. we'll have to wait and see what happens. thanks for making us a part of your morning. the next news tonight is at 6:30, then olympic coverage

begins before that and continues after that. have a great morning. we leave you with a live picture of the berkeley theater where the dalai lama will speak in just a few hours. protesters are asking for greater religious freedom. have a great day. we'll see you next weekend.
