>> "today in the bay's" bob redred rededd. >> reporter: for years the several people who organized the freedom bay area train say it's on the verge of shutting down because of declining ticket sales. to give you perspective, 1600 people rode the freedom train from san jose to san francisco right after president barack obama was elected. this year, dr. martin luther king jr. association has only been able to sell 700 tickets, which is a sold out amount but only half of what is needed to keep this event funded. this particular free tdom trains significant because it's the last one running nationwide. one of more than two dozen started by dr. king's wife. she chose the route because it's 54 miles long, roughly the same distance her husband marched from selma to montgomery 50

years ago which inspired countless bay area freedom train riders throughout the years. >> spent a lot of time reminiscing about what it must have been like for people of that particular era and what the struggles for people and people of color and women. >> want to help the community keep dr. king's dreams alife, and hopefully the kids will see the train and remember. >> that was robert lopez, one of many who have rised money over the years to try to keep the train running. unfortunately, the interest has waned too much. as i mentioned, tickets are sold out for this morning's train which departs the station here in san jose around 9:45. reporting live here in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, bob. >> stay with us as people throughout the country honor the life and work of dr. martin luther king jr. when we're not on the air, head to our website nbcbayarea.com,

one officer fired his taser, another fired his gun and the man was killed. wildlife experts this morning are planning to go back out to the shores along the east bay. what they're looking for are birds with feathers coated by some mysterious substance. yesterday teams went out in san lorenzo and the hayward area to rescue threatened birds. they're being cared for at the international bird rescue in fairfield. more than 150 have been rescued so far and unfortunately 20 have died. thick and sticky. >> it is a lot of birds. there was some type of release in the bay of this unknown product. you know, with he know it's not petroleum oil. we are fairly certain it's not vegetable or fish oil. it shows up kind of like rubber cement. >> state wildlife agencies will be testing the substance and the results could be out this week. a woman is recovering this morning after falling from a cliff and into the freezing waters of the san francisco bay.

happened around 4:30 yesterday afternoon near the legion of honor museum. the woman floated in the frigid waters for an hour and a half until rescue cruise arrived in boats and jess skis. she was taken to a waiting ambulance but was not hospitalized. this morning the extent of her injuries has not been updated. we have a follow-up right now on a fight outside of a palo alto bar that cost a 24-year-old tennis instructor his life. his friends are trying to raise money to return his body to his native country. in december, oleg talamai got into an argument with four men outside the patio bar in downtown palo alto. one man allegedly punched him in the head knocking him to the ground. he suffered a fractured skull and bleeding in his brain. he died from his injuries three weeks later. this tuesday, 28-year-old neil rostroff will be in court for the crime, facing charges of involuntary manslaughter accused of dealing the deadly blow. friends at the kim grant tennis

academy where talamai worked as an instructor have started a fundraising campaign to return his body to his family in belarus where he can be buried by his father. friends close to him say he was an amazing employee and friend >> he was constantly a solid human being he was and he was always there for everyone. never said no to anybody that needed help. >> and so far, talamai's friends have raised more than $10,000 on the go fund me site. testimony continues today in an age discrumb nation suit against the oakland raiders. two veteran scouts filed suit three years ago after they were relieved of duties following the 2012 draft. the suit was asked for an undisclosed amount of money, accuses the raiders of breach of contract and emotional distress. last week raiders general manager reggie mckenzie testified he fired the veteran scouts because he didn't think they were good enough to head the team's scouting operation and not because of their age.

,000 is . it is 5:07. quick look at fog started to permeate the bay area. san mateo certainly evidencing some of that, also a look in san jose and dublin as we absorb the impact of the fog. >> meteorologist anthony slaughter joins us for a look at the fog and the forecast. >> the fog is thick across the peninsula, san mateo and even palo alto as well, working its way down towards san jose. it's a mix of that tulle fog and onshore wind that brought in the marine layer. low clouds and fog as well. temperatures not too bad in the 50s for the most part, from the north bay down to the south bay. 65 for your afternoon high in the south bay today. 65 for the peninsula. san francisco you'll be at 63, and in the north bay expecting 7. f 67. martin luther king day parade starts at 11:00, up toward yerba buena garden, this afternoon

climbing into the 60s but expect a good mix of cloud cover for the first half of date and later on top out near 60 degrees. we have better air quality today because of the system that's mixing in around our atmosphere and producing fog. good air quality across the east bay, moderate levels anywhere else and we don't have to spare the air for today. the general trend over the next few days is warming each and every day and friday will put us in the 70s. we'll talk more about who will see 70s and how widespread it will be. more in a bit. back to you. >> take in that deep breath of fresh air. thank you, anthony. 5:09. still ahead, parents make a frightening bind fined at a california park, not the first time they do so. what they found that might want to make other parents keep their kids at home. not a whole lot of business so we'll look at a cool new bike ahead in business and tech.

have you heard of the new dialing procedure for for the 415 and 628 area codes? no what is it? starting february 21, 2015 if you have a 415 or 628 number, you'll need to dial... 1 plus the area code plus the phone number for all calls. okay, but what if i have a 415 number, and i'm calling a 415 number? you'll still need to dial... 1 plus the area code, plus the phone number. so when in doubt, dial it out!

good morning to you, looking live at the new span of the bay bridge, and some of the fog anthony slaughter told us about. we'll hear more about that in a few minutes. an old school silicon valley company is offering a new school perk. intel is offering eight weeks of paid leave for new parents. the program is for both mothers and fathers. that's in addition to the 13 weeks of paid leave it already offers new moms. that means 21 weeks in all. the news comes after the santa clara-based company announced last week it will spend $300 million to improve diversity in its workforce. nearly three-quarters of intel workers are male, just two of

its top 15 executives are women. it is a holiday and apple has been getting grief for not giving its employees the day off. >> scott mcgrew, we should point out we are also working on this holiday. >> we don't have the day off so yes, we are at work as well. nbc recognizes martin luther king jr. day as a paid holiday so most of our offices are dark, we are at work. the criticism against apple is not just that the company doesn't consider this a paid holiday. intel adoeb e, ibm don't consider it a paid holiday either but apple has used dr. king in its advertisements in the past. there's the irony. apple tells nbc bay area it encourages employees to recommit to volunteering on this day. the new york stock exchange and the nasdaq are both closed today. banks generally closed as well. we'd ask cnbc landon dowdy about that, but she is actual lay sleep right now. so let's have a gadget monday inste instead. some guys from fly kai stopped

by, they make an electric drive, it's a hub for bikes. you put it on just about any kind of bike, that white thing there, it gives you a pedal assist, they call it the smart wheel. >> inside you have a motor battery, electronic, some blue tooth so everything in such a small space and fits on any bike. when you start pedaling the motor turns on and helps so you makes it easy to peddle and ride around the successful. >> hugely successful on kickstarter. i tried it. the biggest problem is our front parking lot is so small and the pedal assist is so good, you really accelerate quickly and then it's time to hit the brakes. it is $1,100. not for the bike, not even for the wheel, just for the white thing there. that said, if you did use your bike to get to work every day, this would easily pay off because that's a fraction of the cost of a car and electricity is super cheap and you can really without breaking a sweat really start to cook.

>> that looks much cooler than the moped, the older. >> anything would look cooler than the moped. >> does it take the purpose away from riding the book getting a good exercise? >> yes, definitely take the purpose away from exercise if the purpose is to get to and from work real quick and do it in a green fashion, then it's perfect. >> you can chat on back and forth. >> exactly. >> next time in your workout clothes, you'll ruin your suit. >> those are my workout clothes. >> thank you very much. 5:15, as we pull on anthony slaughter to talk about what's going on outside, if you wanted to go take your bike out anthony, conditions are more hospitable. >> it will be warmer as we head towards friday and saturday so if you're thinking about the weekend. >> already? >> yes, because it's monday. 5:15, maybe think being hitting the beach. i'll show you some nice numbers but this morning the king tide has returned to the bay area.

high tide in the bay area, if you live in low-lying areas or do any traveling in the low-lying areas just a heads up. you could look at water-covered roadways this morning especially between 9:00 this morning and 10:15, web high tide comes. we have two separate storm systems on the maps, unfortunately for us not producing any rainfall. the first one over the bay area, kind of washing out, breaking apart. the second one out across the pacific and that one is actually headed toward the pacific northwest. for us we're not going to see any rain from either one of those but this morning we do have lots of cloud cover out there because of the one that's right on top of us and it's producing lots of fog because the ocean breeze returned. four miles in november toe, same for san francisco. coming across the going going not that bad this morning. the worst travel will be across the peninsula this morning, down towards mountain view where visibility is less than three-quarters of a mile and up

toward san carlos, san mateo, visibility up to three miles. even in san jose visibility falling down to two miles. overall we wake up to the fog, continuing to about 11:00. after that we see sunshine everywhere, expected to see a good mix of sun and clouds. 65 for the south bay. 5 for the peninsula and that morning fog will burn out even for san francisco. it will turn out to be a fairly nice day. as we head through this upcoming week each and every day we're talking about a good mix of morning clouds, afternoon sunshine and that's going to leave us in the 70s by friday, and yes, you might be thinking about the beach. look at, this santa cruz friday, saturday and sunday, guys, we're talking 70s, yes. 70s in january. back to you. love him or loath him, bill cosby is still performing to sold out crowds in northern california. last night's show marked his first appearance in this area since rape claims started to resurface against the 77 years

old. filming was not aloud as he performed in interlock to 1,000 fans. >> i used to like him, until this happened. >> so he probably has $20 billion and they're probably after that i'm sure. >> watched the interviews on cnn. i've listened to the women. i've done research, and i believe that they can't all be lying. >> you just heard from the only protester there, more than a dozen women have accused the veteran comedian of sexual assault or abuse. some say cosby drugged them. in the most recent claim a model met with los angeles police and says cosby drugged her and sexually abused her at the "playboy" mansion in 2008. cosby's attorney says friday the comedian was in new york during that time. 5:18. an unsettling discovery at a park in san diego. somebody placed at least seven razor blades in the class at a popular playground. police used metal detectors to

find the blades yesterday afternoon after somebody called about the discovery. it is the fifth time that police have found razor blades inside.o of this park in the last 18 months. so far a total of three people have been cut by those hidden blades and police say the blades seem to be intentionally placed. a teen couple compared to bonnie and clyde was caught by police after weeks on the run. 18-year-old dalton hayes' mug shot, he along with his 13-year-old girlfriend are accused of stealing pickup trucks in kentucky and georgia. police arrested the couple in florida yesterday after finding them asleep in one of those trucks. the teen girl's mom has been pleading with her daughter to give herself up. >> called her every day, i've texted her, you saying please come home, i love you, i miss you. >> the pair are also accused of using stolen checks in south carolina. hayes is also wanted on a charge of interfering with child custody. the 13-year-old is now in the care of child services. what is your technique? the time right now 5:19 and

coming up, it used to be a spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down but it can take a lot more than that these days. plus how one high-tech company hopes it can change the way parents give their kids medicine in the future.

breaking news coming from san francisco where police are looking for burglars who used a u-haul truck to break into a clothing store in north beach and race off with stolen goods. >> "today in the bay's" stephanie chuang just got to the scene. steph, quite a mess there you saw. good morning. >> reporter: good morning kris and sam. quite a mess, happening around 3:45 this morning and you can see that it is xreetly smash co smashed in. word is a u-haul van with two suspects inside who backed into this place. you can see all the damage, took stuff and then sped off, still on the run. joining me now is sergeant fitz

wong with the sfpd. sergeant wong, tell us again what happened here, what led to this? >> about 3:40 in the morning a u-haul just like drove into the storefront area and like commercial burglary. >> reporter: right now a store manager had come about 20 minutes ago and she's assessing the damage but some of the police units actually spotted this u-haul van, right? >> in the other districts away from here and they were trying to like catch up to the u-haul but they were unable to. >> reporter: okay, and what's the policy again when it comes to a chase with property crime, smash and grab? >> usually the units doing the chase will notify a supervisor and if that's the information given, the pursuit of the vehicle will be terminated because it's a property crime. >> reporter: thank you so much, sergeant wong. i understand again a lot of damage here, assessing how much was taken, but the good news, no one was hurt. this happening early in the

morning and not risking a police chase when it comes to a property crime. we do know there's a partial plate of ag135, a u-haul van, the van apparently spans three police districts so we're out looking for the two suspects and that is the latest here live in san francisco, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> okay, the chase for those suspects on right now. thank you very much. when it comes to the spread of california's measles outbreak, reserve seararchers ma factor. they've identified a dozen hotbeds in northern california where folks are underimmunized. parents are either skipping their children's measles vaccination or delaying in getting it. most of the people strick within measles have not been immunized. more than 50 measles cases have been in four states, reported i should say from an outbreak that may have started at disneyland. >> as we talk about outbreaks, the flu has been going around

this season. tamiflu, a popular option to fight it for kids. >> it can be tough to get kids to take it because they don't like the taste. one company is hoping this change that. >> it's hard to believer that something like banana or bubble gum could be the key to getting a child to take medications. >> it gives mothers and children some control over how they want their medicine, and medicine taking can be a real challenge. mothers find it stressful, children equally. >> reporter: whether it's the pill or the child's will, taking their medication for children can be a bitter pill to swallow, but it goes down a little easier with their favorite flavor. >> for ten years now and beyond, developed a formula of different combinations of taste that work well with liquid medications. so our job is really to provide the best taste choices for

children. >> reporter: flavorx has made it simple. pharmacist can mix it up for you and thanks to this machine, all of the work is already done for them. >> they scan that, it has a database of 5,000 different drugs and knows the names and volume and strength of each medication so they confirm that, it will give them the option to just get water flavor or do both. the pharmacist selects flavor and the flavors that work with the medication light up. >> reporter: parents can get online with their kids and meet fred, at flavorx.com. put in the medication and it gives you the best flavor choices. >> we do a lot of research and studies with our medications and formularies, just to make sure it's a good match. >> and that was meghan pringle reporting. there are 12 different flavors of flavorx. >> hopefully that will help with the process. most pharmacies offer it but parents have to ask for it specifically. >> i think they'll still complain, that's my opinion. 5:26 right now. coming up from san jose to san francisco, in just a few hours

significant because it's the last one still running in this country. one of more than two dozen started by dr. king's wife 30 years ago. coretta scott king chose this route because it's 54 miles long, roughly the same distance her husband marched from selma to montgomery 50 years ago. coming up, we'll hear how the annual ride up the peninsula has inspired riders throughout the years. reporting live here in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, bob. oprah winfrey marched alongside actors from the movie "selma" and hundreds of others in selma, alabama, to mark the birthday of dr. king. they walked to the bridge where the famous march began in 1965. >> i'm excited once again i get to march across the bridge not as portraying annie lou cooper but as standing in the shoes and on the shoulders of every one who came before us.

>> oprah stars in the oscar nominated film "selma" and the movie marks a turning point in american history. >> it's 5:33 right now. hawaiian vacation got off to a rocky start after a scare in the air ended with an emergency landing at san jose's international airport. the flight had just taken off from oakland en route to honolulu but the pilot was rerouted to san jose after he noticed a crack developing in the windshield of the plane. plane spotter got this video right here, you can see the plane landed safely. emergency crews arrived. passengers were able to get on to other flights and no word as of yet on what caused that crack to form. >> that's scary. quick up and down. it is 5:34 right now. meterologist christina loren is off but we have meteorologist anthony slaughter in. good morning. >> good morning to you both. this morning we're waking up to fog, very thick in some locations. we have a frontal boundary overhead but it's kind of washing out and falling apart and that's why we don't have any

rainfall, unfortunately, but we do have the fog and we have lots and lots of cloud cover that's eventually going to make its way out of here and we'll see a bright, sunny day. as the system continues to fall apart t is reducing our visibility because of the fog, up in the north bay three miles and four miles novato. not bad across the north bay. the worst of it coming from the peninsula, anywhere from san francisco, south san francisco near the airport down toward san carlos, even mountain view looking at visibility anywhere from about four miles down to one mile and the worst of it again right now in mountain view, looking at visibilities up to about a mile. yes, it is foggy this morning and going to remain cloudy at least for the first half of the day and you'll notice as we head through the day, plenty of sunshine after about 11:00 and temperature business then in the afternoon will climb to 65 in the south bay, same for the peninsula. san francisco at 62 today and the north bay clocking in at 67. because of the system moving overhead it has a mixing out of our atmosphere and later on this

afternoon, good to moderate levels of air quality finally. we haven't been able to say that really over the past two weeks and after 20 days of sparing the air, we can timely breathe easy, no bad air quality out there this morning and same story as we head towards the next few days and you'll notice by thursday and friday we're talking about the return of 70s, so yes, bust out the tampg tonk the flip-flops, it will be nice around here. unfortunately for us, we could really use the rain but we're not just going to get it this upcoming week. at least if we're going to get sunshine at least we'll be in the 70s, right, so enjoy it. >> no one would refuse that. thank you very much. update to breaking news in san francisco. police are looking for burglars who crashed a u-haul into a store in north beach this morning, filled up their truck with stolen goods and then just took off. >> "today in the bay's" stephanie chuang joins us live from the scene in quite a mess and it could have been worse since those folks took off high speed. good morning, steph. >> reporter: that's right, good morning to you both, kris and

sam. you can see quite a mess , the front of the store is completely shattered, this is where police say a u-haul van backed in around 3:45 in the morning. police officers are still here on scene although they are wrapping up. at least two men, part of this burglary going in there and police also telling me that in the front is where they targeted several racks and there are basically all jackets and that might not look like much, but i looked up online t looks like these jackets range from $140 to $200, about that price range, so they took, you know, they targeted several racks and took off again before 4:00 this morning. i did ask the police sergeant fitz wong if there was a chase involved. this is what he had to say. >> the units of the district after we had given a description of the u-haul spotted it and tried to catch up to it but they were speeding away and unable to catch up to the u-haul.

>> reporter: what is the policy when it's a property crime like that? >> if there's an actual pursuit and the supervisors are notified, usually the pursuit will be canceled because it's like it's a property crime. >> reporter: so back here live, it looks like the registers are still here and all they took really were these very expensive jackets. police officers saying it looks like they probably sent someone into the store beforehand to case the store to know exactly where to go when it happened. and that is the latest again, at least two men still on the loose here in san francisco. live in the giardelli square, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." you remember the ice bucket challenge. china is offering a new take on the challenge. >> oh my, people stripped to their shorts and instead of ice they had as many buckets of snow doused on them as they could stand. dozens of participant s braved

the 4 degree challenge and the winner had a whopping 100 buckets of snow poured on him in about 100 minutes. >> you see the color of that man's skin. >> my goodness. laura garcia-cannon is off with the triplets and she took them to tahoe, maybe we can challenge her to do this. >> i don't know if she'd go for that. you'd turn purple from the inside. look at this, i guess it's not just snow but also it's 4 degrees outside so if you really want to show your support for research for als, that is dedication. >> that is dedication. 5:39 right now. still ahead the latest into the investigation about who fired off a gun outside of vice president joe biden's home in delaware. we'll have a live report coming from washington, d.c. the plus the biggest comeback in an nfc championship game. we'll show you how the seahawks did it, coming up next. and a live look outside, this is the kind of scenario that meteorologist anthony slaughter would describe as being socked in with fog right now. of course, that downtown san

jose is expected to burn off here. anthony will let you know when. 15 minutes of nonstop news, traffic and weather coming up after the break.

good morning to you. looking live at the golden gate bridge, it could be a little more crowded today because folks have the day off, and could be a little less crowded because folks have the day off so it's a good news/bad news picture. we'll tell you more about the weather forecast for there and where you are. a developing story now and protests continue around the world over that latest issue of the french satirical magazine "charlie hebdo," this after the magazine which was attacked two weeks ago printed another cartoon of the prophet muhammad. ten people were killed in the capital city of niger. in pakistan protesters marched toward the french consulate demanding punishment for those who published the cartoons.

in russia thousands are marching in proest it of that magazine. back home vice president joe biden right now speaking at a martin luther king day breakfast this morning while the secret service trying to figure out who fired off a gun near his delaware house over the weekend. >> "today in the bay's" tracie potts is live on capitol hill. this is the latest possible threat against a politician this morning. good morning. >> good morning. even going back to the fence jumper in september and more recently john boehner, threatened to be poisoned by a suspect that was caught, the bomb plot against the capitol here and now this. over the weekend the bidens were in delaware but they were not at home when someone sped by in a car, the secret service says, and fired multiple gunshots. later at a reservoir that's near the biden's delaware home, another report of gunshots. there was one man taken into custody but not charged in connection with this and frankly it's not clear there is a

connection between the arrest and the shots that were fired. as normal it was a heavy security presence at the biden home. he's protected there as well as when he's here in washington. and so the secret service now just trying to figure this one out. they'll be looking at whatever surveillance is in the area and whatever evidence they can glean from the property to try to figure out who went by the vice president's house and fired the shots, was he specifically being targeted and why. >> and increasing the scrutiny on the secret service which has been embattled as of late. thank you very much, tracie. president obama has not even delivered his state of the union address yet and already it is garnering criticism from republicans. president obama spent his weekend working on his speech. it's going to be first dlafrd speech delivered speech to a capitol controlled by the gop. the wish list includes a tax increase on the rich and more spending on the middle class and the poor. republican lawmakers are lining up already against the president's plan. >> and i'll call on this new

congress to join me in putting aside the political games and finding areas where we agree so we can deliver for the american people. >> raising taxes on people that are successful is not going to make people that are struggling more successful. >> last year, more than 1 million people watched the state of the union on mobile devices. the white house expects to top that record tomorrow. >> we're going to have live coverage of the president's state of the union address tomorrow, starts at 6:00 right here on nbc bay area. new this morning, pro-russian insiders in ukraine say they have seized control of the airport in donetsk after several intense days of fighting. here's a look at what's left of the airport after numerous fires and fire fights. you might remember pro-russian supporters have had control of the donetsk region since last year. ukrainian forces tried to regain control of the airport, even using rocket and artillery fire that rebel forces say they had never experienced before. ukrainian officials have not confirmed any of these reports.

an estimated 4,700 people have been killed in eastern ukraine since april. also new this morning, indonesian investigators say they found no evidence that terrorism played a part in the crash of airasia flight 8501. the airbus crashed in the java sea last month killing all 162 people on board. investigators analyzed cockpit recordings in the minutes leading up to the crash and found nothing to suspect foul play. also today, divers are trying for a fifth straight day to reach the plane's fuselage. high waves and strong currents have made it tough on recovery teams. a young founding member of one popular east coast hip-hop collective has died. 26-year-old steven rodriguez was better known by the stage nip asap yabs. he was also an executive producer on albums released by asap rocky and asap ferg, both grammy nomated artists. yesterday his label confirmed he had died but a cause has not

been announced. authorities in southern california are investigating the death of a popular fitness model known for his television and magazine work. perhaps 37-year-old greg polit looks familiar. he was killed by a train saturday while he was filming a video. he was on numerous magazine covers and appeared on the bravo reality show "workout." some say he failed to move even as the horns on the train was blaring but others say they thought they saw him stumble. burbank police have ruled out suicide. to a bizarre story coming out of hawaii where a professional golfer robert al n allenby is recovering from being beaten, kidnapped and robbed. all started inside of a wine bar. the golf channel is reporting surveillance video shows him leaving with a group of people, allenby says he doesn't remember much after that but believes that he was drugged. he was later found in a park with his face swollen as you saw from the picture, robbed of his

wallet and phone as well. allenby was in hawaii for the sony open where he missed the cut. he'll speak about his ordeal later this morning on the "today" show so stay tuned for that. >> at least five people are dead, dozens of others injured in hundreds of icy pile-ups across the northeast. cars out of control, skidding in the freezing rain. that car went skidding down an icy street in new york. seconds later a pedestrian went down. near philadelphia more than 50 cars were involved in a chain reaction crash and transit authorities shut down bridges and suspended bus service in parts of pennsylvania and the entire state of new jersey, where more than 420 accidents have been reported. >> kind of amazing that more people actually weren't injured in that series of event. >> maybe in they stayed off the roads. sometimes people heed the warning. >> freezing rain issues in the northeast. >> that's one of the reasons i moved to the bay area. never have to deal with that again. this morning we are waking up to some fog, very typical of the bay area but we also have the

dipping tides returning to the bay. i want to start you off with this map, this gray matter shows you where the fog is, and where it's the thickest is where the fog is thickest. an easy map to read and up near santa rosa, that's where we'll find the thickest of the fog and even down the peninsula, half moon bay toward san mateo and toward san jose we're seeing the fog thicken up and burn out of here eventually by 11:00. the king tides return to the bay area today and continuing through wednesday and high tide is in the morning hours from about 9:00 to 10:15, right from about sausalito down into san francisco and over towards the oakland area, but this is the thing to note. low tide in the afternoon, so the morning commute is really going to be affected with the water up on the roadways. the evening commute not much of an issue. on the storm map we'll notice you have two systems out here, one of them across the pacific, the other one right over the bay area right now. unfortunately, it's so weak and falling apart and that's why we don't have any rain but because

it is a frontal boundary and behind it a lot of cold air, ahead of it the warm air and you get the condensation that happens and that's basically the long word for fog and that's what we are looking at. across every vantage point low clouds and fog, demean san jose visibility starting to fall off here and this is where i think we'll see the worst of it along the peninsula as well and temperatures because we have the fog in place and low clouds not too bad in the 50s and later on this afternoon, we're only going to top out in the mid-60s to top out in the mid-60s jua moving on through, it's going to keep us from warming up a whole lot, back to 65 in the south bay, same for the peninsula, san francisco, you'll be at 63 today and the north bay at 67. now you'll notice the general trend each and every day this week for our inland valleys does call for 60s and then by friday we're talking about the 70s returning to the bay area and the next weekend, if you're already thinking about it, i know you are because it's monday, right, we are talking about 70s across the entire bay. i'll show you where you can hit the beach comfortably coming up

in my next report. back to you guys. >> thank you, anthony. maybe the only thing worse than paying taxes is paying a tax you didn't know you were exempt from that you didn't have to, right? that's apparently what millions of americans will be doing this year when it comes to health care coverage. the affordable care act requires americans to have some form of health insurance for 2014 or pay a tax penalty. the company intuit estimates more than 20 million people who are eligible for an extension, rather an exemption have not filed for the waiver. that means that they paid an average tax of about $300, which can be easily wiped away for those who qualify. >> keep an eye on that. you want to wipe that cost off. 5:51 right now. filming has begun on the second steve jobs movie. >> scott mcgrew right where the first one did. >> the garage in los santos, where else would you start? filming is under way after the movie went through a lot of actors and two studios.

danny boyle will direct. he did "slumdog millionaire" and aaron sorkin who wrote "the negotiable network" did the script, based on the jobs' official biography. this movie has lots of pedigree. as you mentioned, this is the second steve jobs movie since he passed. the first one starring ashton kutcher was poorly received. the new york times said it would drive steve jobs nuts to know the movie about his life has all the appeal of a powerpoint presentation. for my money the best depiction of steve with as from noah wily in the made-for-tv movie "the pirates of silicon valley." rent it for three bucks, it's worth a look. the reason the white house was so easily to point to north korea as the country behind the hack on the sony movie "the interview" was because we had already hacked them. "the times" says american agents placed beacons in north korean

computers which let them trace the hack later. how do you know we hacked you? because we hacked you first is kind of how it works. >> that was dating all the way back to 2010 i believe, the u.s. hacking of north korea. >> for many years, yes. >> good luck trying to keep a straight face for this story, it's about babies and babies who laugh. >> new research says babies are able to perform their own version of standup comedy. nbc's stephanie gosk takes a look behind the laughs. >> reporter: comedians, eat your hearts out. the truly funny are the smallest among us. effortlessly hilariously, surprisingly funny. can you sit on the rainbow mat with me? >> no. >> she's a constant source of entertainment. she can entertain herself and many adults. she's really fun. >> reporter: beyond making our lives brighter, researchers believe humor is an important part of a baby's cognitive development and some say we have

underestimated just how serious being silly can be. >> infant humor can tell us a lot about what infants know and about what they know about us. >> reporter: the play starts with parents being the clowns. babies as young as 3 and 4 months old begin to appreciate the ridiculous. and then a switch, as early as 9 months old the realization that they can make us laugh, too. >> he's definitely performing for me, trying to make me smile and when i smile, he smiles right back. >> reporter: the highchair is the classic stage. peekaboo, the universally funny gag. >> i'm so hungry. >> reporter: then there is the tea which my daughter has mastered to perfection. you sneaky monkey. you sneaky monkey. >> when an infant knows how to get another social partner to

laugh, it suggests they know something about that person's mind. >> reporter: well harper, two can play at that game. oh, where'd it go? the research suggests learning to laugh may just be one of life's earliest and most important lessons. >> i just think if you can't laugh at yourself or at what's going on in the world, then life just gets kind of boring. >> reporter: anyone who needs a reminder, just spend some more time with a baby. stephanie gosk, nbc news, new york. >> i try to spend more time with babies but mine are and6 and 8 i ask random people to hold their kids. >> humor is what it's all about. >> they are awesome. 5:55. no shoulder shumying for anthony slaughter. he'll join us without the humor but real facts. >> has funny babies himself. >> you have to laugh when you have kids because otherwise you'll just go insane and if you're a parent you know exactly what i'm talking about.

kris is laughing because she's a parent, she knows. >> exactly. >> the highs are comfortable. something not to laugh at is the fog this morning, really thick. later on this afternoon you'll be able to take the sweater off and lose the jacket. 65 in the south bay. 63 in san francisco so you need the light jacket but up in the north bay, close to 70 now. we have widespread 70s on the horizon and that 70 forecast i'll show you that and where you can hit the beach comfortably coming up in a next report. it was a big weekend for football and now controversy following once again the new england patriots, coming out of the afc championship game. it's probably not surprising that they're facing new accusations after demolishing the indianapolis colts for a berth in the super bowl. >> the patriots dismantled the koemts 45-7 but new england now accused of purposely deflating the footballs to get the upper hand. apparently a deflated football can be easier to flow and to catch. so now the league is

investigating. if foul play is discovered, they may face losing draft picks. >> interestingly enough, they will still be going to the super bowl. tom brady looking for his fourth ring. 5:56 right now. >> we will have an update of breaking news this morning, where in san francisco a u-haul crashed into a store in an apparent burglary. the latest information coming up. plus it is the end of the line for an historic chapter in civil rights history here in the bay area. why this martin luther king jr. day will be especially poignant, right here.

breaking news at 6:00, thieves drive a u-haul straight through the front of a popular san francisco store, making off with some pricey merchandise. >> hundreds of birds turning up in the bay covered in some sort of goo. we know it's not oil. what wildlife officials are doing to try to solve this deadly mystery. plus a decades' old

tradition coming to an end. the last freedom train in the nation will make its final trip in the bay area this morning. >> starting off this work week with lots of fog especially across the south bay and the peninsula. little bit of drizzle out there as well and better air quality is on the way later on this afternoon with the return of 70s by friday. i'm meteorologist anthony slaughter in for christina loren, with the full forecast ahead. and looking live at the story of the morning, a little bit of fog there at the golden gate bridge but it seems to be pouring on down to the south bay. we're seeing it build, we'll talk more about that forecast on this monday, january 19th. this is "today in the bay." we do have some breaking news to report to you this morning. san francisco store will be doing some major cleanup right now after a u-haul slammed right through the front of the store. people got out, grabbed the
