to fremont, just to union city. the other side of the bay, peninsula side very smoothly, as well. a couple crossings. the maze moves smoothly but the red, we'll dwlglide out here. just before 6:00 all the lanes backed up and now these lanes off to the left just starting to ease off a little bit. that's standard for the morning. the san mateo bridge from the east bay we see a little haze in the air, but no big drama. west 92 moves smoothly and high rise you can see it and where it joins with 101 and 280 and the north bay, no delays southbound 101 through san rafael and into the city, as well. send it back to you. 6:22. still ahead "today in the bay" ronald mcdonald gets a new look. >> not that he needed one or anything. let's take a live look outside. it's a big s curve up in san rafael this morning. traffic appears to be moving smoothly. stick around, 6:22.

electronic cigarettes, essentially, a metal or a plastic tube with nicotine or water and other products that produce an odorless vapor. often flavored and that's one of the reasons why some advocates say they are concerned that they may be marketed to children. with what the fda is announcing today they would, number one, require these companies to register and couldn't issue any new products without getting approval first and they would also have to eventually take a look at advertising and internet sales. that's not something they're doing immediately, but immediately they would restrict these products so that people under 18 could not legally use them. e-cigarettes just one of the categories that they're looking at and this is a proposal, so it looks like it could be up to a year by the time they get public comment from the industry, from experts and from the public. sometimes it's up to a year before they come up with a final rule on how they want to get this done. >> but at least they're looking into it and saying they are.

your morning cup of coffee may give you more than just a caffeine jolt might shock your wallet, too. wholesale coffee prices shot up to a two-year high because of dry weather in brazil where a third of the world's coffee is produced. will it stop people from sipping, though? >> coffee and caffeine that is important for anybody. no matter -- gas $5, people are still buying. >> that's a good point. not going to stop me. prices expected to go up at grocery stores in the next month. >> a whole lot of coffee in brazil. not just coffee, but oj, too. florida citrus crops under attack from a tiny insect. growers say the bug is killing off the fruit in record numbers and carries a disease known as the citrus greening. it destroys the tree's root and branch system and just stops fruit from growing. this year's orange crop in florida expected to be the lowest in 30 years.

we may see higher orange juice prices later this year. a southern california city declaring a two-week cooling off period in the fight between neighbors and the maker of a popular hot sauce. irwin dale residents asked the city council to step in because they said the air around the sriracha plant was too spicy to build. tentatively, but unanimously ruled the two-year-old plant was, indeed, a public nuisance. but last night they decided to delay the final decision to shut it down for two weeks. if declared a nuisance, the factory would have to stop releasing the spicy smell or they would have to leave town. stay in town today and enjoy the forecast. 6:33 right now. let's take a live look outside san jose and san francisco on your right. sun coming up over the bay area making way for a nice day. rain in the works, as well. let's check win christina. >> springtime in the bay area and pollen levels pretty high as we get the rainfall overnight.

"today in the bay" peggy bunker live with what we learned about one of the doctors. good morning. >> good morning to you. one of the terrible stories and especially now that we identified one of the american doctors identified in kabul. a pediatrician who dedicated his life to treating children in his medical practice in chicago was shot and killed by a rogue security guard at the cure hospital, an american-run charity hospital in kabul, afghanistan. he worked at the lawndale christian health center in chicago for more than 16 years, according to their website. his biography talks about his love for pediatric medicine and

his strong, faith-based mission to serve afghanistan. left his job in 2005 and moved there to serve the people of kabul. that is where four americans were shot today and flea of them doctors and one a doctor's wife and she is said to be out of surgery and recovering. this is at the cure hospital. this is supposed to be in a secure area located in a walled compound difficult to access unless you have clearance. it specializes in treating children, neonatal babies and also maternal care and charitable and based on pediatric service and run by a group that is based in pennsylvania. the fact that this hospital operated solely to treat the mothers and children of afghanistan and serve as a teaching hospital makes these killings especially senseless. we have a reporter on the way to his home in chicago which he apparently continues to maintain. we know from his biography he has three grown children and not sure if one of those children was one of the doctors that was killed in kabul at the time of the shootings. two of the doctors were a

father/son medical team. details on that are still developing but finding out who these doctors were this morning. >> just staggering. thank you, peggy. >> sure. it is 6:50. new this morning a san jose state student is lucky to escape further injury during an apartment fire. thanks to some quick thinking by his roommate. happened about a block away from campus on east william street.
