inside a macy's bathroom. the victim says the man peeked over the urinal partition and grabbed his behind. it happened inside the macy's at the stanford shopping center. investigators believe the same man could be linked to another incident on monday. in that case, someone took a picture of a woman inside a restroom. now to a story we're learning from the east bay, a follow-up, learning that the antioch teenager accused of raping a pizza delivery driver was already on probation at the time for another crime. prosecutors say derian miles jr. committed sunday's attack while wearing an ankle mop or the. that monitor could prove where he was at the time, actually. he faces a slew of charges including rape, sodomy, and kidnapping. if convicted he could spend the rest of his life behind bars. the health department is trying to track down b.a.r.t. rider who is came in contact with a commuter infected with measles. for three days last week he took the yellow line to and from the

lafayette station to the montgomery station in downtown san francisco. >> that's where we find "today in the bay"'s stephanie trunk. have the people he worked with been alerted? >> reporter: good morning to you. this person had a short walk once arriving in the city from the montgomery b.a.r.t. station just a few hundred feet to 1 montgomery street that houses the san francisco linkedin offices. a public health notice was posted yesterday in the window of the building warning a contra costa resident has measles and worked in these san francisco offices last wednesday through friday, february 4th to 6th. as officials have contacted the people who were close to the person who contracted measles, once airborne, measles can linger and fiin a confined spac an hour after the infected person leaves. so those in the linkedin office and those who rode b.a.r.t. are

being asked to check with their doctors. >> probably rode the same exact time of the morning. it's just scary. >> i'm vaccinated so i'm not concerned. >> reporter: the person with measles also ate at e&o restaurant and bar on saturday night. the manager there says all employees have been vaccinated and public health officials say there's no risk and to stay open. vaccinations are 95% to 99% sfoif there's a good chance the person did not get vaccinated. how he or she got measles is not being released. it could be several days before we learn if anyone else contracted measles as a result of this latest exposure. stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> so far there are 15 confirmed cases of the measles in the bay area. alameda county has the most with six.

includes $14 billion to improve cybersecurity. he mentioned it in the state of the union address. the president's administration has five priorities working with international and private sector partners to improve security, also making security goals clear for those government agencies in charge of enforcing and replacing pass words as well. the president will also spend time with silicon valley business leaders. this one at the san francisco home of venture capitalist sandy robinson, a dinner expected to net at least a million dollars for the democratic national convention. couldn't be all business, right? fund raiser in there too. >> always a little money. and dinner. yeah. a live look outside. the president probably didn't plan it this way but he's picked a pretty good time to visit the bay area as you tell us about

your child's daycare, i definitely did not get that word right -- the more something parents. >> the more parents involved in science.

the first shot was with the roadway construction. that's why they time it that way until about 6:00. looking over here toward the rest of your bay, we widened out. there's the peninsula, no delays for 101 or 280. on the east bay side, build for the tri valley but nothing dramatic. disabled vehicle 580 westbound at grant line, not causing much of a problem at the altamont. by the time you get to the dublin interchange, everything is standard. a little compression hitting hop yard and doherty. but the walnut creek interchange, flow of traffic as well. farther north, concord and richmond. no big slowing here for the east shore freeway toward the bay bridge. richmond-san rafael moving to and from the north bay. still following the crash south 101 at the dump there on the shoulder. major damage to a car but not to any people. bay bridge toll plaza, all lanes filling in. we should see these metering

capitol hill on what that request does and does not do. this afternoon congress votes on ashton carter as defense secretary. he'd take over a war president obama wants to expand up to three years in iraq, syria, and perhaps beyond. >> the president should have all the tools necessary to win the fight that we're in. >> there is no appetite for any boots on the ground except in limited circumstances. >> reporter: that is the key issue -- will congress authorize what the president calls limited enduring offensive combat? >> very broad. very ambiguous. none of us really know what enduring offensive combat operations means. >> reporter: president obama explained. >> i will only send our troops into harm's way when it is absolutely necessary for our national security. >> i'm not going to vote for anything that has the interpretation we could have combat ground forces on the

front line fighting someone else's war. >> reporter: military leaders insist this war cannot be won by air alone. >> we know we need competent partners on the ground, but they don't necessarily need to be u.s. boots on the ground. >> reporter: democrats want more details. >> so that you don't have an open-ended check, we don't end up in another iraq and afghanistan. >> reporter: republicans want more leeway. >> we may not advocate that for now but why take it off the table? >> reporter: a vote may not happen until march. until then, lawmakers say the president needs to really make the case to the american public why he may need to send ground troops into that region. >> of course a war-weary public. pot tracie, thank you very much. president obama joins lawmakers to cast a spotlight on the issue of suicide among veterans. he's signing a new bill creating a three-year pilot program to help recruit psychiatrists to the va. it also includes a new website providing mental health services and a new rule requiring that suicide prevention programs be

of silicon valley's best and brightest minds. the timing is of course fortuito fortuitous. we've been reporting on this hack. the 80 million americans whose personal information is out in the universe possibly because of that hack on anthem insurance. so a lot of folks wondering if they are at risk. earlier this week, the obama administration announced the creation also of a new agency, the cyberthreat intelligence integration center. that intended to connect the dots a lot faster. the president also allotted $14 billion towards cybersecurity in his 2016 budget. the president's administration has five priorities they want to tackle. that is i.d.'ing hacks faster, working with international partners to improve security, also private sector and making security goals clearer for government enforcers, also helping everyone replace passwords with other sorts of identifying information that might be more secure. the president will also spend time with silicon valley business leaders, perhaps at a

fund-raiser, this one at the san francisco home of venture capitalist sandy robinson. that is a dinner that is expected to raise right around a million dollars for the democratic national convention. by the way, he will wake up on valentine's morning in san francisco. >> needing to take michelle obama some ghirardelli chocolates. more expensive chocolate as we learned earlier in the show that chocolate prices are going up around valentine's day. we're not going to let that get us down, not with this weather on the away. >> dark chocolate, your favorite nap's what's going up. you can always address those candies to sam brock, nbc bay area. 5:47. you know what, we have a gorgeous day coming your way. good air quality, not as much cloud cover out there today. lots of sunshine, and we're starting out mostly clear. want to take a live look here at san jose. you can see the twinkling

exciting as other later versions, something first adopters probably don't want to hear. he also dismissed poor sales in china as irrelevant. now, tesla is a tiny company compared to cisco systems, but we like talking act tesla because they're sexy. cisco, not so much. but cisco is san jose's largest private employer, and because it sells tech infrastructure it's a really good canary in a coal mine to tell us about the health of silicon valley. and cisco turned in very healthy numbers. that say, sam and laura, here is cisco's new -- is it sexy or what? needs a new name. you got the model x or the blah, blah, blah, blah. >> you can have that box or you can have a new tesla car. i'm still on the fence on that. >> cherry red? pick out your color. >> one is a chick magnet. the other is router. >> thank you very much.
