6:03 am
in a civil suit filed by the parents of audrey pott. two years ago three teens sexually assaulted and took photos of pott while she was unconscious at a party. the high school student later committed suicide. the attackers served their time but the family thinks the punishment was not severe enough, why the pott family is suing two of the three attackers, it settled with the third person earlier this year. today the u.s. supreme court could decide to hear a case surrounding free speech and the american flag. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez live in morgan hill this morning. kris, this is centered around a group of bay area, south bay high school students. >> reporter: right, laura. the students have now become national headlines and it's taking a long time to get here. none of the students are still here at live oak high school here in morgan hill, and even the principal, the assistant principal who was at the helm at the time has moved on as well, but the question remains, where is the balance between students' free speech rights and the rights of administrators to keep
6:04 am
the peace on campus. it stems back to an incident five years ago when the assistant principal at live oak high school in morgan hill banned students from wearing shirts with american flags on cinco de mayo in part because the principal felt the students were motivated not only by american pride but incidents with the mexican flag the year before which sparked several fights. students who did wear the shirts were asked to turn them inside-out. when they refused, they were sent home. as a result, families filed a free speech lawsuit which has been dismissed in lower court. one of the judges who wrote the ninth circuit court majority decision said in part "it was reasonable for school officials to proceed as though the threat of a potentially violent disturbance was real." however, a judge with a different opinion argued that speech cannot be banned only because of how it might be perceived. if the supreme court decides to take up the issue they could make that announcement as early as today. in morgan hill, kris sanchez,
6:05 am

iranian-backed rebels in yemen. >> it seems to be impacting the relationship between the u.s. and iran, just within the last couple of hours iran is claiming two of their advisers on the ground in iraq were killed by a u.s. drone strike a week ago, last monday. u.s. officials say they're checking their time lines before denying that report, but it could certainly raise tensions between the two as they try to sit down and work this out, with yemen and the fighting there in the background. as bombs reigned down in yemen, the u.s. is hoping for a nuclear deal with iran by tomorrow. >> do you think you'll get a deal by the deadline? >> good question. >> reporter: the white house remains optimistic. >> they should be able to do that by the end of march. >> reporter: in yemen, arab nations aren't waiting for u.s. help. they've agreed to form an army of 40,000 as the air campaign continues against rebels backed by iran. the saudis deny iran is their real target.
6:32 am
>> i wouldn't call it a proxy war because we are doing this to protect yemen. >> reporter: in washington, some in congress don't trust that iran will keep its word and not build a nuclear weapon. >> i've got a really bad feeling about what they might come with. >> the alternative is also dangerous, but i'm trying to keep my powder dry. >> reporter: lawmakers are threatening more sanctions. >> the sanctions are going to come and come quick. >> reporter: that's to prevent this deal. they have until midnight tomorrow to work out a deal but the situation iran is claiming this morning could have an impact on that relationship, also the bombs that keep falling from saudi arabia, news this morning that one according to humanitarian workers there, hit a refugee camp killing 21 people. >> large numbers there. thank you very much, tracie. one we'll continue to watch. keeping it in washington, the republican field for president is about to get a little more crowded. carly fiorina says she is more

6:34 am
the south bay. 70 degrees expected by noon in the north bay and we'll round out the day above average yet again, temperatures at 74 degrees for the peninsula, 79 in the tri valley. high pressure is going to start to move off to the south and the east as we head throughout the next 24 hours, allowing this area of low pressure to move through. for us, this is going to translate to much cooler temperatures, and maybe even some showers as we meet back here tomorrow morning. the bulk of the moisture comes through between about 3:00 a.m. and k a.m., not expecting anything heavy. we have a better chance, though, getting into your easter weekend. it looks like we are going to kick off a rainy pattern, i'll describe that to you in my next report. first getting out the front door here's mike inouye on a monday morning. >> good morning, folks. we'll take two live cameras first and show you the rest of the bay. i want to take the oakland camera, southbound 880 around 66th the overcrossing you see above our kicker at the bottom, reports of a crash there, i scanned the area and still don't see any issues or interruptions
6:35 am
to the traffic flow so i wanted to confirm that first. the second incident tracking right in front of our camera on the peninsula, palo alto, 101 at university, the on-ramp above where it says nbc and the other side you see a big rig on the frontage road by the stores, not a problem for the off-ramp there on the northbound side. so again, check the incident report, but i you don't see any slowing there. let's start with the peninsula, bottom of your screen the barricade reports the incident university off-ramp. slowing for 92 at the top of your screen coming across the san mateo bridge, typical there. same thing for the south bay, north 87 and 101 slowing through the crash at tully is causing it. lighter overall volume kicking in for the south bay. we'll love your map farther over toward the tri valley, earlier problems at the dublin interchange, the crash cleared but flowing after livermore. the tri valley commute there, same thing for hayward toward
6:36 am
the tricity area, union city typical slowing nimitz southbound. the area we showed you, oakland coliseum at the bottom, reports of the crash you didn't see any on the live camera. no problem for the flow either, northbound through 880 and westbound for 580 approaching the bay bridge that's your commute direction. the maze shows the backup metering lights on and the slower drive doeflgz east shore, hercules, highway 4. speeds come down toward the 50-mile-per-hour mark. walnut creek on the right side you typically see that. north bay flow down to san rafael just building now to the golden gate bridge but again san francisco schools a lot of them have spring break so maybe less surface street traffic but maybe more commuters out of town for the next three weeks rotating around the bay, good news for the overall commute. even though your kids might not be in the school district it will affect the flow, as we know, kids off, parents tend to take it off as well. >> shortened week of trading on the stock markets as well because of good friday. >> a boost for drivers and
6:37 am

stand between where the rights of the students' free speech ends and where the rights of the administrators' rights to keep the peace began. so again, the united states supreme court not taking up the issue of the american flag bearing t-shirts here at live oak high school in morgan hill. in morgan hill, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you, kris. more breaking news to share with you, we're hearing reports of a possible shooting at ft. meade in maryland. we've got a live look at the scene from ft. meade, maryland, this morning. we don't know how yet these cars are involved. you see an accident of some sort there in the center of your screen but officials say two people arrived at its gate injured this morning but it's unclear how they were hurt or just how badly they were hurt. initial reports indicate the incident happened outside of the entrance itself but it's not clear yet if anyone from the military base was involved. we'll continue to follow this breaking news story this
