these are banners that were created by the students and you can see they put paint on their hands and slapped that on to the banner. the students wish the media and protesters would just stay away. >> they want to make it a regular day and the students have expressed that they don't like the outside attention and we're trying to help them with that. but they wanted to send a message that what the media and the world has really edepicted as a divided school is really not a divided school. very unified school. >> the district has also uploaded a video that features former students talking to current students about the 2010 flag controversy. their message in the video is, we, the students have moved on and time for the adults to do the same. the morgan hill patriots plan that upheld the school's

decision back in 2010 to send home those students and this happened on cinco de mayo and seen as a slap in the face to the mexican holiday and the school banned the shirts that day arguing it was going to cause tension. this past february the ninth circuit court of appeals sided with the school, so the gilroy morgan hill patriots will be a silent protest, as many as 50 members of the group holding american flags to show support for those students' first amendment right. opposition group called we the people morgan hill and they support the school's decision. they plan a rally tonight off campus. you can see out here live morgan police have a one squad car outside the high school. they tell us they have been in touch with both sides. they said both sides of the protest groups have been cooperative and expect them to be lawful. that being said, they do have a plan for extra officers out here, as well as the staff with

the school district. again, the superintendent message this morning is that they want to make this as normal a day as possible for the students to not have any distractions, especially considering the fact, reporting live out here at morgan hill, ed redell. the alameda county water district will soon consider charging extra fees for people who use extra water. most people in the district pay a flat fee per gallon, but the proposal will change that and imposes three rates each two-month billing cycle. now, people who use 16 water units will have to pay nothing in a surcharge. a unit, by the way, is 748 gallons. so, 16 units close to about 12,000 gallons. no charge for you, extra charge, anyway. those who use 16 to 30 units would have to pay as high as $1.94 makes your total charge per unit $5.31 and people who use more than 30 units will have

that wind will increase as that storm system heads out of here. instability ahead and behind the storm. that's what produces the wind. so, today, you want to keep in mind windy over the weekend and another round of wind today and an even stronger round as we head into your tuesday. so, temps today work like this. 64 degrees in san francisco and 69 in the east bay and 69 degrees in the south bay. let me take you through the changes coming your way as we head throughout the next 72 hours. for today, coolest day of the week and mostly cloudy conditions and a few light showers and getting into the mid-section of the week and average temperatures and cloudy mornings making way to beautiful sun shiny finishes and warming into mother's day. overall looking pretty good to see temperatures right where they should be for this time of year. tuesday, wednesday and thursday and by friday that warm up is n on. now, here's a deal with the wind for today. increasing by this evening and for tomorrow high pressure starts to move in and wind even stronger and winds will die down wednesday through friday. let's check your drive, here's mike inouye.

>> not necessarily the road, but i want to show you 880 moves smoothly and predictability. little wind as christina is talking about and weather is changing here and so are the conditions. let's look at the map. fremont line from b.a.r.t. stretches from fremont all the way through oakland and into and out of richmond and up to 30-minute delays reported and now they fixed the equipment problem just about a ten-minute delay and recovering for that fremont line and ten-minute delay reported and no delays for 880, at least nothing unpredi unpredictabiliunpredic unpredictable for that stretch. northbound 101 shows that build from capital expressway and orange means around 50 miles per hour. start to see more slowing around the 87 and 101 merge. the slowest spot for the bay and the south bay and north 285 also show the build and a pretty typical pattern for the south bay without any incidents causing any problem. 580 continues to build. 580 through the dublin

interchange and south 680 in through sunol and you have a lot of company now as you travel over towards 680 asknd sunol. we see a lot of traffic bunching up and that will continue to build as folks head over to the bay bridge toll plaza. talk about an issue, a crash reported and a truck and a motorcycle, but no injuries reported. might have been just a glancing blow there and doesn't sound like any lanes are blocked. i'm tracking that. the cash lanes have a longer wait coming off that berkeley curve. send it back to you. >> thanks so much. streets in san jose will be shut down today as police prepare for cinco de mayo partiers. last night was already a busy one for officers. 21 arrests last night alone and police say they're ready for large crowds today. police have stepped up enforcement after what happened back in 2007 when crowds tried to tip over cars and caused dother problems. in the meantime also in the south bay a show of unity at a

morgan hill high school at the center of a cinco de mayo controversy. "today in the bay" bob redell joins us live oak. >> they just arrived. around 20 members of the morgan gilroy patriot group and you can see them behind me and what they're doing is standing outsi outside. you can see american flag on their shirts and, of course, holding american flags. what they're doing is protesting a recent federal court ruling that upheld live oaks decision back in 2010 to send home four students who wore american flags clothing to school on cinco de mayo. seen as a slap in the face the mexican holiday and the school banned the shirt arguing to inflame tensions between white and latino students on campus. took the district to court and this past february the ninth circuit court of appeals side would the school and hence the reason you see this protest group out here this morning. we did speak with the school

superintendent this morning for the morgan hill unified school district. if you look to your right, you see had high school in the background where they installed a temporary chain link fence with green mesh there. that is to keep the protests separate from the students. and the superintendent was telling us this morning that you could see the students put up that banner earlier. we're all different branches. there is somebody showing their support. you can hear that horn in the background and the superintendent tells us the students wish that the media and protesters would just stay away. >> they want to make if a regular day. the students have expressed that. they don't like the outside attention. and we're trying to help them with that. but they wanted to send a message that what the media and the world has really depicted as a divided school is really not a divided school. it's a very unified school.

>> and you're looking at a video that the district posts on youtube over the weekend. a student-created video that has former students talking to current students about the 2010 flag controversy. the message from the video was, we the students have moved on from this. we'd like the adults to do the same in reference to the people who are here protesting behind me. the school says they want to make this a safe day for the students and that's why they have the fence up. morgan hill police also have officers out here on patrol, as well as staff from the district. one reason why they want to make this at least distracting for the students as possible is this is the start of ap testing. as you look live the man in the suit is the superintendent of the school district. he has been in touch with the patriots group that you see right there. not sure what the conversation is right now. the police has been in touch with this group, as well, another group to send those kids

home that day. both groups have been in touch with police and according to police they have been cooperative and expect them to be lawful. >> bob, one of the central ironies here is if you were a freshman when this happened, you've already graduated. none of the kids there at school were there when this happened. >> right. again, to reiterate the message the superintendent said and they put it on that banner there. these kids say that they want to move on from this. they don't want to be a part of this for whatever reason. they just want to have a normal day at school. especially like i said since ap testing is getting under way today. >> best of luck to them. bob redell, thank you. the man accused of setting the old kntv studio on fire is scheduled to hear the evidence against him today. he pleaded not guilty to arson and first degree burglary charges last month. today he will be back in court for his preliminary hearing. the homeless man deliberately started a fire in the building that burnt to the ground. as many as 30 homeless people often stay there, but

investigators do not believe that anyone was inside when that fire started. three circus performers in critical condition this morning after a horrific aerial stunt went terribly wrong sending eight circus performers crashing to the ground in front of a packed crowd. it is truly a bizarre thing to see. "today in the bay" peggy bunker joins us. all the performances canceled today. >> they initialsy started by canceling the rest of the performances on sunday and now they say all performances in providence, rhode island, will be canceled. this after nine circus performers were canceled while performing an act on the human chandelier, as it's called. they were performing on sunday in rhode island as part of the ringling brothers barnum & bailey circus. the whole thing was caught on camera. we want to warn you the video of the fall is tough to watch.

right there it appears as if a single cable snapped dropping the eight women who were performing the hair hang on the chandelier. they fell between 35 and 40 feet the ground injuring a ninth person on the floor. it was packed with families and children witnessing the fall. they took a total of 11 people to the hospital. many of them performers with broken bones. one of the injured performers required immediate surgery. now, this morning the spokesperson for the circus is defending the human chandelier. >> one of these performances, all the rigging are materials we bring with us to every single show. every single city we go to and it's inspected every single time it's put up. to my knowledge, no reports of any problem with any of this rigging in the past. >> now, more on that hair hang here on the chandelier. have to tell you, it's pretty tough to watch, almost as the actual fall. you see here where the circus performers are literally hooked

on to the apparatus by their hair. it certainly looks like a very difficult stunt to pull off. you asked me before what kind of floor these performers fell on to. turns out the circus actually brings a rubber floor with them, they set it up for every single performance. so, they didn't fall on to concrete. that rubber floor there probably helped them out quite a bit, scott and laura. >> lots of broken bones. who knows the internal injuries, as well. >> then the rigging falling on top of them. thank you. let's switch gears and check in with christina and she'll look at our forecast. some rain in the works on cinco de mayo. >> make sure you're ready for that. grab your umbrella, poncho probably appropriate for the day. temperatures in the 40s and 50s as we get into this afternoon. it's going to be pretty comfortable out there. 64 for san francisco and i'm a proud latin girl so, yeah, today's important. let's check that drive.

>> we're looking at west 580 and a slower drive developing for the dublin area. look at 580 on the map. nothing unusual for this pattern and continue build here and south 680 into the south bay. rest of your bay, pretty typical pattern. more delays clearing and kids day in japan and for the japanese american community. back to you. >> something for everyone. thank you. time now 6:59. a final check of today's top stories. target ceo greg steinhafel stepping down the move comes five months after hackers stole credit and debit card information from millions of people. ntsb investigators will be in fairfield looking into whether high wind caused a vintage plane to crash at a crowded air show. the pilot is 77-year-old edward andreini was killed. it happened yesterday at travis air force base. 17 people hurt after a strong earthquake in tokyo. it happened just after 5:00 this

morning local time. many people still in bed. officials say the quake had a 6.0 and another in thailand. that's what's happening "today in the bay" back at 7:25 with a live local news update. >> see you at 11:00, as well. have a great day. good morning. spreading rapidly. high winds fueling a dangerous and deadly wildfire in oklahoma right now. it's already claimed the life of one man and damaged and destroyed dozens of homes. what went wrong? investigators searching for the cause of that tragic circus accident that left at least several performers injured as horrified families looked on. the show set to resume today, the future of the act uncertain. back in session, the oscar pistorius murder trial resumes this morning after a two-week break. but a key witness for the defense won't be taking the stand. we'll tell you why.
