big tech companies are really spreading their wings and trying all sorts of businesses right now as apple is working on its own sort of gopro. >> gopro went public haas year. if apple pamakes a camera it cod be devastating to the young company. >> apple had filed for a new patent that sounded an awful lot

like a version of the gopro action camera, but just because apple files a patent doesn't necessarily mean it's going to build a separate camera for iphone. apple rarely mrs. a standalone accessory. it has its core products, it sticks to them. about the only exception to that rule was this, it was a speaker that was made for the ipod, in the early 2000s. steve jobs gathered everyone together to unveil it. we kept waiting for the other shoe to drop for steve to say, and one more thing, but he never did. it was just a speaker. you know who is an awesome speaker, landon dowdy live at cnbc world headquarters, good morning. >> scott, good morning to you. the markets will try and break a four-day losing streak today after stocks fell on a disappointing report on retail sales last month. the dow is down as much as 349 points but slashed losses by the close and oil prices hosting their best day since 2012. look for data on unemployment and inflation and earnings from

you've lived here for any duration of time you're probably accustomed to the thick fog. 47 degrees right now in san francisco, we're at 40 degrees in the south bay. on our way to another unseasonably warm arch wiafternn with temperatures climbing into the mid-60s. 62 in san francisco and the trivalley today up to about 65 degrees, where the fog is the thickest. so really want to take it easy through there, livermore to pleasanton and dublin and danville, very foggy this morning. the story light showers on the way for tomorrow, and then as we get into your all-important weekend, the sun comes out and we have a substantial warmup headed your way. that's going to bring temperatures well above average for this time of year. so here's the good thing. air quality will improve as we get that light rainfall saturday into sunday. take a look at this, just fantastic out there, possibilities really endless. you think about this as well, a lot of your beach resorts, places in monterey are offering winter deals right now. you can get out there this weekend with temperatures in the mid to upper 60s.

keep that in mind. we'll tell you what's going on if you're staying local as well as we head throughout the morning. now let's check your drive with anthony slaughter. >> eight/sunday, are you free to baby sit, christina? i figure i'll get out and enjoy the weather. the traffic is moving through the bay bridge approach no problems here. the metering lights have not been turned on so you're good to zoom on through here. i want to take you to the traffic maps. we had an earlier accident 880 at jackson. not imspepeding speeds and the split the on-ramp has a tree down there. otherwise towards the trivalley, this is really going to be the story of the morning, the thick fog moving through pleasanton, dublin and livermore. the speed sensors lots of green so people zooming in and south bay lots of green, but heads up this evening there is a sharks became that so there will be

extra traffic for that thoroughfare. back to you. >> thank you very much. happening today, we hear from the two climbers for the past two and a half weeks, about 19 days have been climbing up the sheer face of yosemite's el captain. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us. they're calling this the hardest free climb ever. >> some said it was outright impossible. today we know it is not. think back to two days after christmas every time you slept in a bed, took a shot shower that's how long they have been free climbing el cap, sleeping in tents on the shock's sheer face. this is what it looked like as they reached the top. [ cheers and applause ] >> jorgesen in the yellow jacket and his partner were received with a roar of applause at the top of the don wall. it took them 19 days of climbing

with just their fingers and toes. seven years of planning. the ropes not to help them, only to catch them when they fell and they did fall. jorgeson slipped again once he came close to the summit. his father and wife knew how much the climbers really wanted to make it happen. >> your heart just drops because you know how bad he wants to do it, but talk about tenacious. >> all of these hardships that he's been through, they've all led up to this moment, to him being able to look at the don wall, this looks impossible but i'm going to try it anyways. >> when the two sumitied, they toasted with champagne but as they made their way up they sipped whiskey from time to time. it was cold up there. maybe some ragged nerves, too. after a quick slep operaticeleb climbed down to the meadow below from family and friends were waiting for them and looking forward to getting a hot shower.

jorgeson says he hopes what they were able to accomplish hopes others find their own don wall. it is different for everybody, inspiration. president obama in a tweet said now we know, you remind us that nothing is impossible. >> it's fascinating. >> it is. we all have our thing, right? i'm never going to do that but it did inspire me to think about something i've put on the back burner for a while. >> it's a metaphor for life. did you see their fingers? >> caldwell has nine fingers. he had a freak accident at one point and ten fingers is hard enough and he has one less, he doesn't have one. >> not related to the climb. >> i think it was a climbing accident but he said it didn't deter him. >> tremendous insight. thank you, kris. maybe we're not going to scale a big wall but what about a quick walk a day? it can help keep you alive according to new research >> speak for yourself. i'm still wagging that el

captain climb. plus a family is forced to get rid of their beloved alligator.

what are you keeping inside of your house, a dog or a couple of cats. how. an eight-foot alligator which is creating a lot of buzz after l.a. animal control seized the gator from the backyard of someone's house. meet jackson. he was bought 37 years ago, looking pretty good for 37 at a pet toer in los angeles and has been living with the same family ever since. his owner tells us jackson would not hurt a fly. no details about anything else. it turns out not everyone is thrilled with him being there. neighbor reportedly tipped off animal services, and that led to a search warrant, and ultimately jackson is going to animal control. officers say keeping wildlife

without a permit is illegal in los angeles >> i'm glad you think he looks good for 37. he may need a little moisture. president obama renewing the push for paid sick time for millions of working parents. the president will call on congress to pass a measure requires companies to offer up to seven days of paid sick leave every year and helping states create paid family leave and medical leave programs. in addition he'll propose legislation providing federal workers with up to six weeks of paid leave after the birth of a child. only three states right now, including california, offer paid family and medical leave. going for a brisk 20-minute walk every single day could cut your risk of premature death by 30%. researchers calculated height, weight and exercise stats for more than 300,000 adults. this over the course of the past 12 years. the greatest risk of premature death was among folks inactive, no matter how much they weighed.

burning just 90 to 110 more calories a day, the equivalent of a brisk 20-minute walk can reduce the risk by 6% to 30%. something to keep in mind. 5:26 right now. it wasn't supposed to be a drive-through. up next overnight developments after a car just slammed into the side of a macy's store in the east bay. >> more on that story plus the stench that's hard to miss in parts of the south bay. why the sour smell could actually get worse before it gets better. and a live look outside this morning overlooking san francisco city by the bay. christina has tabs on the forecast but it may leave you a little confused. could you go to tahoe, seek out the snow or do you go to the beach? it will be gorgeous there. we'll check in with her. >> good options.

much for joining us. i'm sam brock. >> i'm, will, will. at least six people are recovering this morning, one in critical condition after a car flew through the glass doors of a macy's in newark. >> for more we're joined by "today in the bay's" stephanie chuang live at the mall in east bay in newark. police believe the 63-year-old driver suffered some sort of medical emergency behind the wheel and that might be what spawned this entire thing. good morning. >> reporter: that's right, good morning to you both. she jumped the curb apparently and crashed through the front doors you see bored up. no skid marks until inside the building so it seems no effort to brake beforehand. the 36-year-old woman was going fast enough to plow through the front entrance. up until midnight there was still plenty of police activity.

the blue car barreling into the store about 50 feet before coming to a rest, crushing into displays, racks and mannequins. the woman first hit a man outside on the sidewalk, at last check he was in critical condition still with two shoppers inside also injured. in all six people who had to go to the hospital. >> it could have been a lot worse. it was at 5:00, there was a lot of people in the store. we could have been deal with a lot more injured people. >> now there were also two passengers plus the driver in that blue car, and paramedics in yemen, two other people who witnessed the crash and said they suffered panic attacks. newark police do not suspect the driver was under the influence. it appears she hit the gas instead of the brakes, why and exactly what happened all under investigation still. live in newark this morning, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> okay, stephanie, thank you very much. at 5:32, both bay area football teams have new head coaches this morning.

the san francisco 49ers look within to land defensive line coach jim tomsula and oakland raiders hired east bay native jack del rio. >> they are both smiling. the raider also introduce del rio as the new head coach tomorrow. today the 49ers will make the official announcement on tomsula. >> "today in the bay's" nannette miranda is live outside the stadium. we're already hearing a little bit of grumbling about the new hires. i suppose it will always be someone that's not happy. >> reporter: that's right. you know fans are happy one minute and not the next. the 49ers will introduce their new leader laid later today. he has to offices from defensive line coach to head coach. he's been with the 49ers since 2007 but coaching football for decades. tomsula is popular with the 49ers locker room. he had a brief stint at the niners head coach being interviewed actually being interim head coach for just one game just before the jim

harbaugh era. across the bay, the oakland raiders went with a big name, jack del ree quloe who adwreed to a four-year contract acco according to nfl sources. del rio grew up in castro valley and went to hayward high where he exceled in three sports. the east bay native grew up as a raiders plan. he takes over as the sixth head coach of the franchise since 2007 and local support is already on board. >> i think this is just something that was meant to happen, you know, with this timing. again, it's part of who he is. he's a raider, that's deep inside, that's who jack del rio is. >> the students are excited about this, the community is excited and we wish him nothing but the best and go raiders. >> reporter: hayward high was already beaming with pride. the star athlete played in the nfl and had his first head

coaching job with the jacksonville jaguars for nine seasons. meanwhile today is all about jim tomsula, as you mentioned earlier, he will be introduced later today as interim head coach. he's 1-0, so he's off to a great start. live in santa clara, nannette miranda, "today in the bay." >> 100% winning percentage, that's a good way to get your new time kicked off. 5:35. protesters marched outside of san jose city hall trying to block the expansion of the newby island dump in milpitas. neighbors say they can smell the operation from miles a with a, even into north san jose. they want the san jose planning commission to block the permit until the company comes up with a way to stop that smell or at least contain it. commission members say people should submit their comments in writing in order to be considered. 5:35. follow-up to an emergency, 250

miles above the earth. we told but it yesterday. investigators say a possible ammonia leak on the international space station that sent astronauts scrambling may have been a false alarm. alarm bells went off yesterday morning and mission control ordered crew members on the american side to put on oxygen masks, move to the russian side, and close the hatch. they were supposed to spend the day emoting a resupply spaceship launched by spacex. instead they tested the air quality and returned hours later. >> a live look outside right now at three different vantage points of the bay area, san francisco, oakland and san jose, all of them looking at air issues for today. >> that's right. now christina, i was planning on actually going to tahoe for the weekend but now you're saying the ray also be at the beach. >> i think you'll get better rates at the beaches. it's just one of those really

bizarre weekends. here's the thing, laura, you'll still want to go to tahoe. don't cancel the plans because you get the sunshine and the snow and that technology for making snow has really been enhanced, so they're still seeing some really thick layers right at the base. we're going to talk about that. in fact, we have a report coming up from squaw valley in just moments. let's talk about that stagnant air mass overhead. this is the only problem that we really have today, we've got high pressure forcing everything to the surface, so you're going to see that thick layer of haze and pollution capping the pay area for part of the day today. another option that you have this morning, if you don't want to get out there, don't want to breathe in that air is to go ahead and use that recycle in your car, use that for today and also i can tell you right now, better air quality by tomorrow morning so if you want to put off that jog for 24 hours, we're not going to be mad at you. something else that happens when high pressure builds n forces everything to the surface including whatever ground level moisture we have available.

as a result we're down to zero miles visibility so you can't see much in fairfield through concord and that's that tulle fog, it's very dangerous. this is really what helps to not make for very safe conditions if you're trying to get down to the central valley. we have had reports of pile-ups with this tulle fog so really want to take it easy if you are traveling down there. temperatures are in the 30s and 40s to start today. we're going to end up in the 60s. more on your weekend coming up. first let's check your drive with anthony. >> no pile-ups today, let's not go there. okay, let's talk about the traffic. we don't have any pile-ups just if you're wondering but we have an accident, this is 80 westbound at the 4 connector. once you get past it lots of green on the highway. outside at the emeryville camera, volume is heavy but no problem approaching the bay bridge. we're showing you the toll plaza. cars are starting to stack up. the metering lights not on just yet, but we are starting to see those cash lanes slow, fast track not a problem. i want to switch gears and jump

over towards the trivalley. this is dublin. this is where we have the thickest fog you were talking about and the worst traveling conditions. i want to show you on the map, doesn't look all that bad, because we still have lots of volume traveling without a problem, moving through the altamont pass and down 80 trying to get down towards the south bay and the bay bridge approach. laura? sam? >> thank you very much. it's 5:39 right now. new this morning the oscar nominations unspooling as we speak. >> unspooling. live look from hollywood where moment ago motion picture academy began announcing the nominees. >> let's listen in, these are for best actor in a supporting role this morning. >> for performance by an actress in a supporting role the nominees are -- patricia arquette in "boy "hood" laura dearn in wild, kira knightly, emma stone in "birdman" or the unexpected virtue of ignorance

and meryl streep in "into the woods." what >> what a transforms for mation meryl streep in that role. >> that's a good tease, we'll wait for more, coming up right after this.

a very good thursday morning to you, as we take a live look outside. folks up early this morning, not so bright just yet, maybe down that cup of coffee at 5:42 right now. live look at the bay bridge, moments. authorities say someone was planning an attack on u.s. soil similar to the deadly attacks on canada's parliament building that happened last fall. >> yes, you remember how eerie that was. tracie potts is live on capitol hill with more on the new plot that was thwarted. good morning, tracie. >> hi, good morning. young man 20 years old, christopher lee cornell from ohio is behind bars this morning. the fbi says he was planning to

bring pipe bombs to washington, set them off at the capitol and then shoot people as they started running outside, very similar to what we saw last fall in canada. however that plot was thwarted because an fbi informant communicated with him on twitter because of his pro-isis messages. when he went to purchase two assault type weapon answer hundreds of rounds of ammunition that's when he was arrested, a day after an unrelated case also involving a man from ohio, in this case someone who wanted to kill house speaker john boehner, authorities tell us, by poisoning a drink at his country club. all of this raising concerns about security here in washington. especially after the fence jumper last fall. now the secret service is reassigning four top managers trying to change the culture within that agency. >> it's been just a spate of incidents and makes you wonder how many things you're not

hearing about. thank you very much. a top leader from iraq says the u.s. is not doing enough to help his country fight isis. iraq's parliament speaker says the country feels like it's fighting on its own and the u.s. isn't doing enough to beat back islamic militants. former u.s. official described the white house's approach to iraq as "passive tough love" meaning the u.s. does not want to get sucked into iraq but will still help the country defeat isis. >> it is 5:44. five suspected al qaeda fighters captured in pakistan more than a dozen year ago years ago were released from guantanamo bay today. the five men returned to yemen. the men had been cleared for release since 2009 but the government didn't want them to go back to yemen so it stalled. the men are all in their 30s and 40s, including one who was 17 years old when he was sent to gitmo. congress eased restrictions on releases in 2013 despite arguments from critics that

guantanamo bay holds key terrorism suspects. new photos are surfacing from last week's seenl of a paris grocery store that left four hostages and their killer dead. the gunman amedy cool bali is seen wearing a backpack and camo and facing an older man standing across the door. another a partial view of a person on the floor and goods strewn aboard. coulibaly was killed by police when they stormed the shop. officials said at least one of his accomplices may have escaped. french police initially said the driver intentionally ran into the officer but now they say it was just an accident. investigators say apparently two young kids drove the wrong way down a street, panicked and then hit the officer. both were arrested but the officer that was hurt is expected to be okay. a new study says half of california's new wells involved some kind of fracking. the controversial practice of

fracking has been responsible for one-fifth of all of the gas and oil production in the last decade in california, as that technique booms. the report by independent scientists was prepared because of a state law that took effect last year. the state plans to do future studies to look at the environmental impact of fracking. roughly half of the 300 well s drilled in the state of california involve fracking. >> there's speculation it could be contributing to some of the earthquakes we're seeing. >> in oklahoma a place where they never had earthquakes. >> texas. >> we're going to put a story up on our facebook page. people like to learn about stuff like that, 5:46, especially earthquake country we had the in a fa pa quaknapa quake. you want to be ready for anything here, have the supplies stocked up especially if you have little ones in the house, make sure you have plenty of food, water and first aid kit

part of living in this beautiful state of california. the wind out there is light right now, part of the reason why we have the thick fog. keep that in mind as we head throughout the next couple hours the fog will be a big factor for your morning drive. the reason why, we have this little ridge of high pressure. live trough came through yesterday, that's what gave us beautiful air quality yesterday and the nice clear sky. today we're sandwiched between systems. as a result of the high pressure forcing everything right to the surface, we're going to see this fog for the next few hours. things are going to clear up nicely as we get into this afternoon, but you can see here where the fog is really thick, up and down the coastline, sonoma through marin and also that fog is creeping through the delta, so really want to take it easy wherever you're headed this morning. travel cautiously. anthony slaughter is in for mike with an upindicate on traffic in moments. for this morning, temperatures in the 40s. 47 degrees to kick off a thursday. friday eve here in the san francisco area, 62 degrees later on today.

showers are on the way for friday, then look at this weekend we have for you. temps in the upper 60s, we'd like to get your mind on some of the events happening, it's the sea lion 25th anniversary at pier 39. they'll have free tours out there, get out there and see these guys, 25 years ago they arrived at pier 39, that's where they still be today. ant knee, o-o-over to you. >>er this see fascinated by the seals. they hang out and make all that noise. very cool stuff, christina. this morning in dublin i want to show you our camera where we have the worst visibility, so as you're traveling through this route, use extreme caution. i want to show you on the maps though, usually we see lots of yellows and reds on our highway, but we don't see that today. very light following even though we have the fog. accident 880 southbound at the 92 connector. doesn't seem to be a big deal. the bay bridge metering lights are on right now, and that stack-up is really started to

build approaching the bay bridge. also want to show you what's happening in the peninsula. we don't have any major concerns here but very smooth traffic from 101, even across our bridges and 280, down in the south bay we are starting to see traffic build in a typical spot right on 101, this always happens every single day. you can see outside as we take you to the live cam, stop and go approaching that area. so this is another area where folks are traveling very slow this morning. laura, sam? >> anthony, thanks for that look. this morning for the first time we hear from the two climbers who, after two and a half weeks had been climbing up the sheer face of yo emity'selle capitan. >> their fingers are bloodied but healing. kris sanchez, any inkling how the hikers are holding up? >> as you might imagine they're tired but elated. kevin jorgenson hopes the realization of his own life dream will help others find their own don wall. he and his climbing partner are

showered up and ready to speak on the "today" show about their historic moment this morning, but this is how it happened. there in the yellow jacket from santa rosa by the way, received with a roar of applause at the top of the don wall high atop el capitan. it took them 19 days of climbing with just their fingers and toes, seven years of planning, though. those ropes that you see are not there to help them. they are only there to catch them when they fall and they did fall. jorgenson's father and caldwell's wife know exactly how much the climbers wanted to make it happen. >> it's just oh, your heart just drops because you know how bad he wants to do it, but you know, talk about tenacious. >> all of these hardships that he's been through, they've all led up to this moment to him being able to look at the don wall, say this looks impossible but i'm going to try it anyways. >> when the two summited, they

toasted with some champagne but as they made their way up they sipped some whiskey from time to time maybe to calm their nerves. after a quick celebration at the top, the two climbed down the don wall to the meadow below where friends, family and fans were waiting for them. right now they're still enjoying yosemite. president obama said in his congratulatory message "you remind us anything is possible." we hope to have that for you in the next half hour. >> it is seven years planning this. >> right and practicing and at one point there was a picture of one of them, like they couldn't use tape because that's how small that little razor thin shelf was. >> how much of it is in the moment as well, like that looks like a good place to grab. >> they map it out, practice the route and come down and practice again and that one went up without the tape. practice it with the tape. >> experienced hikers or

climbers who have done this, it was insane what they did. >> they knew it wasn't impossible. >> and bringing a lot of new attention to climbing as well. a new shift is under way in san jose after seeing a business boom in downtown. some shops and restaurants leaving the city saying they consider it too dangerous. restaurant and bar and lounge, sports bar, recently closed. statement on the facebook page says it will reopen in a safer, cleaner, upscale location. not everyone agrees with the dismal depiction. >> it's not too dangerous. i think the problem is that everybody perceives it, word-of-mouth things happen. >> another is looking to move posting a for lease sign. the manager says they hope to

move closer to the down down corridor to increase business. pork has been pulled from the menu at some chipotle. it would not sell pork tacos, burritos or rice bowls after it suspended its supplier which was found violating the animal welfare standards. newman ranch based in the bay area is increasing pork production up to 20% to try to meet the new demand. business is booming for netflix, but even so, the los gatos-based company is laying off some employees, about 50 people in the santa clara netflix call center will be out of a job by this fall. few will be suffered positions in salt lake city where netflix recently opened another call center. the company's contract with the bbc expires this month. shows like "dr. who" "luther" and "faulty towers" are set to disappear from the streaming service on the 31st. pooming metropolis salt lake city, right? it turns out a lot of companies

are moving their call centers to salt lake city. >> it led scott mcgrew to wonder why. >> i spent a number of years in salt lake. it's a nice place and probably why netflix, marriott, u.p.s., sprint, delta, continental, jetblue all have call centers there, highly educated workforce with a neutral accent. what's getting less expensive? the euro now worth just $1.15, the lowest it's been in more than ten years. deflation now a major worry in europe, that's when prices keep falling to the point people stop buying things because they figure whatever they're going to buy will just be cheaper tomorrow. europe's central bank is under a lot of pressure to start quantitative easing like we did, inject more money into the economy, create inflation. that scares the heck out of the germans and because germany is the most powerful country in the eu, they do have a lot of say. wall street will react to a

currency move by the swiss this morning. also we're going to get first time jobless claims. the dow fell nearly 350 points, at one point on wednesday before recovering a bit and intel will report its profits after the closing bell today, most high tech companies will do so in the next two years. >> could be a big bellweather. >> it will be a bona fide day, christina? >> the weather will ring your bell as beget into this weekend. if you're looking for rain we have that on the way, not much but enough to give us a good shot of clean air and if you want to get out to the beach this weekend you'll have that option. light showers on the way for friday. there is some fog out there, otherwise we're looking towards a lovely day sparing the air but i think just for today. anthony, over to you. >> as you were just saying this

is our dublin cam, where we're finding the slowest commute because of the fog. we don't have any accidents through this route so that's the great news folks are traveling through, using that caution. i also want to show you what's happening in san rafael, another area where we have very dense fog, coming through santa rosa, but once you get past santa rosa and petaluma the fog starts to lighten up and traffic starting to pick up coming into san francisco and then of course there's always this. guys? back over to you. >> i like to pose there, thank you very much. i'm going to be a police just like you. >> all right. >> that little boy certainly made his heroes laugh, that's 4-year-old sebastian johnson. he actually met the police officers and firefighters that saved his life in november. he slipped off the edge of a cliff at bodega bay. he tumbled more than 200 feet and landed on the rocks below. firefighters rappelled down the cliff, rescued him. his jaw was wired shut.

he's doing better today going through rehab at ucsf. >> a thrill for everybody. >> i understand a lot of the rescuers have children about that age so it was especially emotional. >> it was the highlight of all their work seeing sebastian. coming up, shoppers running for their lives. this as a car plows into macy's in newark. the trouble that may have started even before the moment of impact. plus a one-two combination from both bay area pro football teams. new head coaches. early reaction from some faithful fans.

right now at qualify a major announcement from the pope with a direct connection to california. plus a car slams through the front of a bay area macy's, sending shoppers scrambling for safety. and mission complete, after nearly three gruelling weeks, two klummers finally reach the top of the don wall in yosemite.

we'll have reaction next. and thick fog will make way for a nice, comfortable day. it is a spare the air day but short lived. we have some rain in the forecast. more on that in just moment. anthony slaughter in for mike inouye this morning. tracking that morning commute. mind me dublin is socked in with fog. we'll break down the morning commute and get you out the door on time. >> let's check out the view in san jose right now, not socked in as of yet. all lit up, getting ready to start this thursday eve or friday eve. it's thursday, january the 15th. this is "today in the bay." >> a very good morning to you. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm sam prbrock. several people are recovering slamming through a crowded macy's as ser
