6:01 am
right now they are calling that death suspicious. >> the circumstances surrounding the body were such that we believe that it could be a crime scene, we cannot be positive, but we're erring on the side of caution if there is evidence that we preserve that and collect it to make sure we're able to identify suspects at a later time if there is a crime. >> the man's identity and how he died has not been released. >> new objects spotted in the indian ocean in what officials call the most encouraging report so far. this after the search area is actually shifted nearly 700 miles northeast. peggy bunker joins us, why is the search making such a dramatic shift? >> first up i want to let you know there is interesting news from the australian maritime authority in the past minutes really, planes are returning from the search zone, they report that five different planes have spotted what could be possible objects or related debris in this new search area so. this really is the most
6:02 am
encouraging news so far. as you know searchers have been scouring the area in this designated area in the southern indian ocean. overnight new radar -- revealed that flight 370 was traveling much faster than originally thought. the burn rate of fuel would be much quicker indicating that the plane couldn't have made it as far as the initial search. let's take you to a map and show you the difference we're talking about. we were formerly looking in this lower search area where you see possible wreckage along the bottom of the screen. analysts said it's got to be farther north and east, closer to the coast of perth. you can see the new search area. we're also hearing from australian authorities that this does change the game in terms of where they are looking. >> indicates the plane was traveling faster than was previously estimated, resulting in increased fuel usage, and
6:03 am
reducing the possible distance it traveled south into the indian ocean. >> so from what we hear moments ago this looks like it could be very encouraging. that's a good thing. the black boxes had eight days left to throw out those low cater signals. it's about 9:00 in perth, australia. we won't have news until ships arrive. it's very dark there. this is interesting, the reason we're getting this news now is because the planes are returning because it's now nighttime. reporting back what they saw. five said they spotted debris. >> officials in washington say the number of people confirmed dead in that massive mudslide will probably go up today. as of now the official count stands at 16. with about 90 missing. today search and rescue crews are fighting through rain and exhaustion, this is the seventh

6:45 am
wednesday. for more on this developing story let's go to christie smith in sacramento where lawmakers say if yee doesn't resign they are going to force him out. >> reporter: yeah, that's what they say. they have been saying that since wednesday. but when we first asked senator yee's attorney if his client would resign we got a no comment. now his colleagues here at the state capital are pushing back. what they are doing is they are going to have a vote at 9:00, they are saying that he just needs to leave the state senate. they have already removed senator leland yee from all committee posts right after his stunning arrest this week on charges ranging from bribery to weapons trafficking. darrell steinberg said the gun running allegations were like a bad movie calling it shocking and surreal. while federal agents raided yee's home and a number of other 0 locations his attorney said that he'd plead not guilty but

6:48 am
peninsula. 57 in the east bay and 56 in san francisco so. back out to the wall, sorry about that, 64 today in san francisco, and 67 degrees in the north bay. we head throughout afternoon your temperatures pretty comfortable. then look at what's coming our way as we head into tomorrow. a lot of rainfall. we're going to hit that atmospheric river. what is this atmosphere river you speak so highly of? it's a plume of moisture from the hawaiian islands through the eastern pacific. we need a storm system to grab that moisture and bring it into the bay area. we've got three on the way. we're looking at a lot of rainfall as a result. we stop that clock at 8:00 a.m. on saturday getting the heavy downpours by 2:00 p.m. that orange concentrated over san francisco to palo alto, we could be measuring maybe two additional inches of rain in this area over one day with two more systems on the way.
6:49 am
by 1:00 p.m. the rain returns. all the way through tuesday. you'll notice we have two dry days at the end there but by thursday, late thursday into friday, we get another round of heavy rain. it's looking good. two sides to the weekend. best bet to get outdoors on sunday and today. >> it's also in the tina turner song, raining, raining. then i stop singing because we don't want to lose more viewers. it's a smooth drive. i watch eastbound. that's good news for all lanes, smooth drive into the city. we have the cash lanes backing up early. tut the early burst and a disabled vehicle. the giant versus the a's, first battle of the bay, preseason but that means more are driving in instead of mass transit.
6:50 am
expect more in early afternoon into the evening. look at the map though and the rest of the approach. moving smoothly. slowing out of san pablo, a smooth drive through north 580 and west 24 all pretty much as speed. a smooth drive down southbound 880 toward 16th we had a crash but a lot of activity cleared. down in toward hayward south of 280 or 238 we have this starting to build but it's a gentle build past 92, and toward the dumbarton bridge. out of newark. here west 580 shows slowing traditional through pleasanton. the earlier slowdown into sunol that has started to recover. heading down to the south bay nothing dramatic. no major problems. typical slowing from capital
6:51 am
