the dublin interchange. >> a live look outside, love that view of the bay bridge, on this thursday, march 5th. this is "today in the bay." a very good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm scott mcgrew in for sam brock this morning. many eyes in silicon valley focused on a high-profile sex discrimination file. the woman who filed the case is going to take the stand today. >> "today in the bay's" stephanie chuang is live in san francisco. the former executive says she was passed over time and time again for promotions because of her gender. >> reporter: that's right, good morning, laura, good morning, scott. ellen pao has her law and business degrees from harvard and a double e degree from princeton. she wants $16 million in damages for what she says was gender discrimination and retaliation. she says she was fired because she complained.

taking the stand the last two days was john dohr, the man who clearly tried to avoid the cameras trying to hide behind staffers is the kleiner perkins partner who hired pao in 2005 to be his chief of staff. pao left in 2012. her attorneys say she was consistently performing better than her male peers who with less tenure were promoted over her. kleiner perkins defense lawyers say the firm's partners did not trust pao enough specifically indicating she lacked interpersonal skills and was dismissive of more junior employees. dohr also says unlike other firm partners he supported pao when he learned that she had an affair with another junior partner. e-mails show that dohr blamed that man and called him untrustworthy. that man was later promoted to general partner at kleiner perkins. pao was not. this is the end of the second week of what could be a very

longlasting trial, maybe lasting up to four weeks or more. coming up, the decision by the judge in this case that could have an impact on the outcome. live in san francisco, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> interesting one to follow. thank you, steph. 5:02 right now. we have new video to show you this morning of frightening moments after a u.s. ambassador with ties to the bay area was stabbed and slashed multiple times. mark lippert is the ambassador to south korea. overnight he tweeted "doing well and in great spirits. i will be back asap to advance u.s./korea alliance." a man with a ten inch knife attacked lippert before a snepeh in seoul. he received 80 stitches. guards wrestled the attacker to the ground. the suspect was upset about u.s. and korea military drills and the split from north korea. palo alto police will be on patrol keeping their eyes out

for people who may be breaking into cars. >> kris sanchez is live where two people are already under arrest. >> reporter: two men arrested and we don't know whether they were specifically connected to the nine burglaries that happened tuesday night alone but when police tracked them down they had stolen property on them. palo alto police increased the pressure to find the car burglars that were getting a bit too comfortable in the city. the thieves broke into nine cars tuesday night alone, not exactly a record, but still not enough for pd to stand by and let it happen. they activated a task force, they put officers out in uniform and in traditional patrol cars but also plain clothes and specifically targeted parking garages in the city, where nine of the recent car burglaries happened. >> they may look in windows and see an ipad or a laptop bag, that's all they need to see, they'll smash the window, grab items and they're gone quickly. >> reporter: police rounded up

two men in the sting and did recover some stolen property. police also perhaps most importantly identified a pattern they say the thieves seemed to like rental cars because it's often a place that travelers leave their valuables and also find that the top floors of the city parking garages are ripe for the picking. knowing that, they say that you can make some decisions to better protect yourself today, make sure you park where there is traffic, don't leave anything valuable. thieves are smashing through the windows and taking anything, they don't care what the value is because for them it's all free. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you. police trying to figure out what led to a shooting in the middle of a busy bay area freeway, it happened yesterday during the evening rush hour on eastbound 580 in oakland near the broadway off-ramp. police shut down part of the freeway while they investigated. investigators say at least two cars were involved in an accident. how the shooting happened is still unclear.

the stranger has a relative who wants to donate but incompatible. they agreed to donate to another stranger who wants a relative to donate, incompatible and the chain will continue on and on until six people received in kidneys the ultimate in pay it forward. >> i'm doing it because there might be someone out there who doesn't know they could do this too and help save other lives and improve people's lives. that was my big driver. >> it's being kicked off because one individual acted as an altruistic donor and wanted to donate a kidney but didn't have a recipient in particular to give a kidney to. >> reporter: there are 12 donors and recipients in all, this includes three parents, three children, two siblings and one brother and sister-in-law, but again all those on the receiving end will be relying on someone else's relatives, since their own loved one isn't compatible.

7:00,000 feet, could pick up to a foot of snow above 7,000 feet, so that's the good news but it's another warm system so lake level snow not looking good at all. we'll have more coming up. over to you, mike. >> i'll keep that in mind if we are thinking about snow at the lake. san mateo bridge not a problem, this is good, looking west toward the peninsula, clear view of the high-rise. look at your map no delay across or on the peninsula. folks haven't made their way over yet. traffic will come over from 808, the nim et cetera freeway close to the limit. dumbarton a little bit of slowing. farther east hayward 880 off the castro valley area and looking over here toward the dublin interchange a clear drive but a crash reported at tassahara. i got a detail there and that may be blocking the slow lane. no slowing shows up yet. the tri valley commute is critical at this time. south bay san jose the rest of

figure and that dzhokhar was a follower, not someone who planned or plotted this but following the wishes of his older brother. we expect to hear systtestimonym survivors and hear new images from the attacks. many too graphic to show you on television. this is a trial scheduled to last three to four months, that means it will likely be going on when this year's marathon runs on april 20th. scott, laura, back to you. >> jay, thank you. at 5:33, overnight dozens of people including an lapd officer held a prayer vigil for a homeless man killed by police officers over the weekend. it was not focused on politics. instead it focused on shared sadness so people could come, pray. the officer was apologetic over what happened even though he wasn't there. >> we came on the job to save

leadership role establishing a partnership in china? dohr's response was she was trusted,u.s. not trusted enough. just one example of what's come up in the trial. the jurors also asked why there are so few women in venture capital and dohr had a pretty big response to that, how that response may help his side of the case, coming up in our next report in about half an hour. live in san francisco, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> a long awaited case. steph, thank you. 5:36 right now. new this morning, facebook executive cheryl sandberg is teaming one top stars in the nba to bring attention to the fight for women's rights at home and in the workplace. over the next few months public service announcements featuring players like steph curry and lebron james will air during nba games. the partnership between the nba and sandberg's nonprofit will be announced today. >> maybe that's how you get the three-pointers, he leans into the shots, entirely possible. >> you know who scores a lot, christina loren, with the person forecast, good morning. >> good morning to you, scott,

hacienda and the dublin interchange. the crash is reported approaching 680 on 580. eastbound it's curious where there's more slowing, the crash quite possibly could be on the other side of the freeway. expect a little extra slowing but the rest of the pattern in the altamont and 80 through livermore and pleasanton looking standard for the tri valley. we continue to have the build so expect it to change dramatically. the trash with the chicken truck is north 238 just off of 580. we see a little blip, i'll track that. the bay bridge no drama. we see the cash lanes backing up, and the metering lights expect that in a couple of minutes. back to you. >> every day it's something, mike. >> can't wait to check back in with you again. thanks. the vta's latest progress report shows b.a.r.t. extensions into the south bay still on track. crews installed the first set of rails for the extension into the parriessa area. more than 10,000 feet of track
