we'll hear from the people who caught all of this on camera. clear skies in san francisco. temperatures this morning in the 50s and 60s and still one more day of numbers approaching near 90 south of san jose. your forecast is straight ahead. it's your friday commute but we do have unusual slowing over on the peninsula. we'll show you what the latest is for 280. >> from nbc bay area, this is "today in the bay." very good morning. thanks for joining us on this friday, may 1st. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. right now crews fighting a two alarm fire in san mateo. some drivers are actually going to see this along highway 101. the smoke and the flames coming up. it's burning right now on laselva street, parallel to 101. south of the hills dale exit. it's a two-story building that's burning. from this view from our chopper it appears to be an apartment complex.

live images and lots of forces on the ground there trying to put out the flames. we have a crew on the way. we're going to bring you new details as soon as we get them. 6:00. protests and rally on this may day and some are threatening to wreak havoc on the morning commute. >> "today in the bay's" bob ridell is here. some try to block b.a.r.t. and this is all in the name of immigration right, worker right, and now black lives matter. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, sam and laura. of course, oakland police here outside their headquarters. want to make sure that does not happen. they are putting extra officers on the patrol on the streets this morning to keep an eye on these protesters. five scheduled for today. three this morning alone. one having started within the past few moments at latham square in downtown oakland off frank ogala plaza. you're talking about the other two that could affect your morning commute. there's one scheduled for 7:30. that's at the macarthur bart. that's called the block the tech

commute. as a result, ac transits rerouting its buses until around 11:00 a.m. to avoid that area. then you've got labor against police terror, that's a march from the port of oakland to city hall. that's scheduled for 9:00 a.m. and again, that could affect local streets here in downtown oakland. just something to keep in mind if you're going to and from work, especially if you're trying to get to the bay bridge. may day protests typically focus on workers rights and we do expect the rallies today to have that element, especially when they're asking for things like higher minimum wage and protection from millions of undocumented workers from deportation. as you were mentioning we also expect to make their feelings known about the recent cop killings of unarmed black men taking place in other parts of the country, especially after this week's protests in baltimore over the death of a black man who died after sustaining injuries to his spine while in police custody. so, again, you've got the three rallies this morning that i mentioned. and then two more scheduled for later in the day here in

oakland. one at noon at latham square and another one at latham square tonight at 7:00. reporting live in oakland, bob ridell, "today in the bay." there are a number of events planned across the bay area today. in san francisco people are rally for the international workers day festival at civic center plaza at 1:30. later in the afternoon, there will be a march from civic center plaza to 24th and mission. and in san jose, there will be a march and rally at city hall. that march starts at 2:00 p.m. our free nbc bay area app is a good resource to stay updated on this story and others. of course, traffic conditions. you can also connect you with us on facebook, twitter, and instagram. as bob mentioned, trust in a law enforcement, one of the topics on the slate on this may day. may day protesters are planning to demonstrate in baltimore as well as prosecutors review the police report on the death of freddie gray. overnight things were calm in the city and at 10:00 p.m. curfew will likely stay in place until sunday. so far details of that report

are not being made public. however, a police source do tell a tv station in baltimore that freddie gray suffered a broken neck from the impact of his head slamming into the back of a police transport van. reportedly there's no evidence that his injuries were caused during the actual arrest. new this morning it is a timely issue. overnight the department of justice announced it is shelling out $20 million to get more law enforcement officers across the country wearing body cameras. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us now with more on the new pilot program. kris, $20 million is not a lot of money when you think about it. how many forces there are out there. >> yeah. there's a cost of the cameras, about $500 or so each depending on the type you buy. then cost of storing all of that data. as that cost of storage is the very reason the baltimore mayor veto'd her city's body camera measure back in february. more on those costs in just a moment but first let's talk about the specifics of that doj plan. the pilot program granted for $20 million as you said, and it

is to be awarded to 50 different departments, about a third of them are small agencies. those departments would be required to pony up the same amount of cash, dollar for dollar, and that's just for the cameras. they also have to have a plan for training and then using those cameras before they can buy them. sfpd is working on a plan right now as they repair to buy cameras for every one of their police officers. deciding things like when the cameras are going to roll, how long that footage is going to live in archives. chief says he hopes it will restore community trust at the same time san francisco sheriff ross mirkarimi says if the cameras are really so important then the city should be buying cameras for his department as well. >> the officers know they're wearing them, so their behavior is going to be better and by telling the citizens that they're going to be on camera, then the citizens will behave better, too. >> i believe the national clamor where everybody is saying body cameras, body cameras, must also

include pri sons an jails. >> part of the department of justis plan is also to spend about $1 million to collect the data on all that body worn camera use across the country in an effort to standardize how that footage is used in criminal cases. let's get back to those storage costs i mentioned earlier. according to the "associated press," in berkeley the city manager estimated that it would cost $45,000 a year to store video from just 150 cameras. that would be enough work for one or two employees and officers would spend about 30 minutes per shift dealing with the video, which the city manager said that, per year, would all come together to equal the same as five full-time police officers. so right now the departments are considering whether or not it is worth it and what the actual costs are as they say, there is no such thing as a free puppy and that doj money comes with a lot of strings attached and not a lot of help after the cameras are purchased.

sam and laura? >> thank you very much, kriss. excellent point. new app aimed at making it easier for the public to document police misconduct on your own. it's called mobile justice california. it just launched yesterday. already more than 2,000 people have downloaded it. here's how it works. if you're witnessing an incident with police you open up the app and you just press the button record. the video is then 70 directly to the aclu lawyer nearest to you right away, no matter what happens to your phone. also new this morning. neighbors rush to the rescue when a home catches fire over night in san jose. this happened just before 1:00 near highway 101. a neighbor said before fire crews arrived her brother ran into the house to make sure that everybody got out okay. >> my brother went into the house. he had a break are down the door and then my brother's friend had to call 911 because any neighbor could not get ahold of anybody from the police station. they got their right when the smoke was there.

>> busted that door down. courageous act there. fortunately a smoke detector woke the people in the house up. no one was hurt. but the fire did burn two other homes before crews ultimately put it out. someone is trying to rip people off by pretending to be a san jose police officer. they tell the mercury news the suspect has been leaving phone messages for residents claiming to be sergeant mike harris, the man then asks for a payment on a a prepaid credit card to clear their criminal record. san jose police department says there is no sergeant mike harris on the force and they caution residents that real police never seek any kind of payment. time to check your microclimate forecast at 6:08 as we give you a live look outside from san bruno and city of san francisco. there is no impersonating the weather that we see out here because it is unique unto itself. rob, we have a pretty nice day here in store. you said a little of the heat up again. fewly dropping off. >> yeah. at least some places today out

towards the coast we'll see cooling, especially around santa cruz yesterday. highs in the nines there. today, 70s as the coastal cooldown gets under way. right now cloud free and kind of warm actually to start the morning. 63 in san jose right now. 58 in san francisco. and not much wind for the moment this will begin to change as we get into the afternoon as the wind speeds pick upcoming off the cool pacific ocean and coupled with some low clouds that are already coming up the coast past monterrey this morning. that's going to bring our temperatures down for mainly the coast around santa cruz and half-moon bay and pacifica for the afternoon. notice the clouds starting to fill in. that's where we will get most of the cooling today. valleys, 80s to near 90 degree temperatures, especially out towards fairfield and the tri-valley for one more day. 50s and 60s for 7:00 this morning. around lunchtime should already see some 80s for the valleys and almost low to mid 70s around san francisco and then 3:00 the sea breeze starting to take hold, cooling things off there. livermore on its way to temperatures again in the upper

80s to near 90s. san jose today mid 80s. close to 90 around los galos and saratoga you saw san francisco in the 70s. oakland, 78. pleasanton and live more today, 80s to 90. the big cooldown for the valleys arrive for the most part tomorrow. you will notice the change for mid to upper 80s today in san jose. mid 70s on saturday into sunday. areas of low clouds and misty times at times this weekend. looking nice into monday and tuesday. let's see if your friday commute is shaping up nicely with mike. >> it is. it's friday. commute deserving of that lighter name. looking out toward the peninsula where we did show you the live pictures. chopper was above that structure fire just off of 101. but the crews were not visible because of that retaining wall. there was no smoke to be seen. no slowing shows up. it's just off 101. meanwhile, there was more slowing southbound 280. unexpected as you head down toward woodside. a deer was hit in the area. and so they have to get a crew

out there. but no slowing shows up anymore. they may have taken care of all of that unpleasant business on the peninsula side. looking toward the rest of the bay. north of the san mateo bridge both sides of the bay move smotly. slight build for the tri-valley and hayward. but live looks out there show you the volume of traffic. this is not a real surprise, bay bridge metering lights are on. toll plaza approach is finally just filled in all lanes. no slowing off the east shore freeway or the miss maze here. south bay, a might rudy giuliani light volume of traffic continues through 101 and san jose. that second burst, the first one wasn't much. the second lun will kick in at 6:30. later in the morning commute, typically see on a friday, south bay freeway gets jammed up. cupertino for the last commute. >> for now we're going to enjoy this light period. >> enjoy, exactly. 6:11. it's also the day boxing fans have been waiting for for years. how tomorrow's may weather patchup is already breaking records. and put on the gloves. haven't even warmed up. >> battle two in washington as

they fight over reform of the patriot act. we'll look coming up in business and tech.

rise view. 63 in san jose. some spots later today still approaching 90. your forecast coming up. >> yikes, approaching 90 over here. some of that sun heating things up and lighting up the shot of the san mateo bridge. a friday flow of traffic across 92 that's lighter. we'll show you how things shape upt on the east bay. important part of the pate trok act will expire next month.

congress isn't too keen to renew it. >> instead they're going to try to reform it. >> that's right. just yesterday, sam, the house judiciary committee gave its blessing to something called the usa freedom act which would restrict the nsa's ability to collect data about you. the act would declassify many of the decisions made by the super secret, super powerful foreign intelligence surveillance court, the fisa court. it doesn't replace the act but it does address the more controversial parts. and most civil freedom groups say the reforms don't go far enough. silicon valley company is putting their names behind this effort to rein in the nsa. many of the ceos have signed a petition. there's a lobbying group called reform government surveillance. apple and facebook and google as well. it's the first friday of the month. you think whoa would talk about the big jobs reports and unemployment rates but statisticians simply don't have the time to calculate april's data.

some of their data set was coming from yesterday, the last day of the april. so we'll get those numbers come next friday. the san jose earthquakes playing away game against reel salt lake but when they do play at home they're playing at avaya stadium. they paid $20 million tole name the stadium. do you know what they makes? is it po papayas? the woman who wrote the check for the name on the stadium is going to be here this week. >> i ulz wondered about that. do you think people are going to buy avaya products because they go to avaya stadium? >> no, but i hope they at least heard of avaya so when the person calls you you know. >> they make the boring phones and infrastructures that go into offic offices. i don't know what ours are. cisco makes the same sort of thing. alltell. but she's right. if you haven't heard of it you

probably wouldn't buy it. again, i don't think anybody walking into avaya says to themselves, we should totally change your phone system. >> you never know, if you're the bosses maybe. >> would you buy levi's just going to levi stadium. >> it's all about brand endorse. >> brand knowledge. she's very smart. she's been a pr person in the valley for a long time. >> sounds like a beauty product almost. maybe that's aveeno. >> boxing once again. if you've been living under a rock, you wouldn't know that the biggest fight in years takes place tomorrow night. >> well, fight fans have been waiting for a long time for this one. there the stare it is down between manny pacquiao and floyd mayweather who has never lost a fight. this is the fight of the century and maybe it would have been if it were seven years ago. now when it comes to paychecks they are right about that. each fighter is expected to earn, get this, $100 million for

the fight. each one of the fighters. that's a record no matter who wins. now if the ring is not your thing, a lot of people are going to be shelling out 100 bucks to watch that match, the fastest two minutes all sports. >> this one i like, big hats, mint juleps, no hitting. kentucky derby tomorrow afternoon. you can watch it right here on nbc bay area. right now the money is on american pharoah. let's see how that one goes. >> all right, gentlemen, place your bets. right now we're betting we're going to have yet another day out there that's doing to feature sunshine and a beautiful sun rise. >> a little bit of heat out there as well. we've had quite the warmup this week, rob. >> 80s and 90s throughout the bay area. today for the coast we're going to begin to see changes but it will probably take time before that ocean air conditioning takes off. this morning hazy skies and nice start under way right now. interesting start when you

consider the san jose 63 degrees. mild this time of morning. head over to the north bay, down to 46 now. closer to napa. quite a bit of a spread of temperatures usually in the morning. we're all in the 50s. low clouds. well, we're seeing quite a variance of these numbers right now. head into the afternoon. inland spots will see those temperatures climbing again close to 90 in a few spots south downtown san jose. right now 63 degrees. oakland, 57. and san francisco, at least for the moment, is fog free. it's 58 degrees. notice the water there. a little hint of a breeze starting to pick up. it will turn a bit more strong as we get into the afternoon. that's going to lead to the cooling. head out to the ball game tonight, angels in town taking on the giants. low 60s and probably low clouds on approach as we head into the middle part of the game. with the harding park we've got the tpc and match play golf challenge today. 70s. cool and very likely looking at low clouds this weekend there around san francisco. cooler temperatures as the sea breeze turns stronger throughout the day today. that is one half of the ocean

air conditioning. onshore winds. the other component will be the low clouds coming up the coast. right now near monterrey, fill in and spread across the coast. should lead for a big cooldown along santa cruz today. 90s yesterday. today, likely seeing mid 70s on the coast. 50s and 60s to start the day for the bay area. we'll see numbers in the 70s an 80s by noon. and levivermore and san jose, warm. we will cool things off dmt evening, 86 for high today in san jose. 70s closer to san francisco. north bay, 80s. pleasanton and livermore, 80s to near 90. the weekend, cooler marine air make its punch inland. just in time for saturday and sunday. upper 70s for san jose on saturday. may have misty skies, too, for tomorrow morning. we'll continue to see those mild temperatures to start the next week. to see how your friday morning commute is starting, let's check in with mike. >> looking great. we do have the bay bridge with the metering lights on. we almost get no break from that. the backup pass west grant

the sea breeze picks up. one of the biggest changes we'll see today right around santa cruz and the coast fill in. sea breeze turns stronger. one more hot day inland for the tri-valley and areas south of san jose going from 50s and 60s for breakfast time into lunchtime you're looking at 70s and 80s. by mid afternoon still got numbers climbing. livermore, 80 degrees. 70 forz sfans san francisco. leveling off at the temperatures in san francisco turning cooler towards 5:00. san jose, mid 80s. still near 90 in los galos for the north bay 80s. pleasanton and livermore, 80s to near 90. big drop in the temperatures in the valleys tomorrow. 80s and 90s yesterday to today. tomorrow, upper 70s in san jose. cooling as we go through the weekend. san francisco included with misty skies for the morning. and not much change for monday and tuesday if you're holding out for a next chance of seeing any bay area rain showers we're going to go way out here in the long range models next thursday, may 7th. colder pattern sets up we hope

that brings more. showers as we move from april into may. the odds of seeing measurable rainfall for san jose really begins to drop off. hopefully next thursday fans out. seeing how this friday is going, let's go to mike. >> shaping up to a friday commute what you would expect. lighter commute. the worst spot of the bay is the bay bridge toll plaza. metering lights are on. sun in your eyes as you're getting all over the treasure island tunnel. keep that in mind as well out of san francisco. let's look at your maps with doent see a lot of problem because of lighter volume of traffic. mild slowing for berkeley. slowing through concord and walnut creek just starting to build. hayward and 92 westbound. the bay bridge toll plaza, biggest bay. slowing starting to creep down in toward fremont and northbound through san jose from 101, 85, and just a little bit for 280. not a major concern.

we'll show you the live camera. people are tapping their brakes from 101 to 680 to allen rock and look at the peninsula. palo alto, a few more cars. the issue is folks southbound get that sun rise slow down. that sun is right in their eyes. harding park where the cadillac match play is going on, tough to find parking south of the san francisco zoo in the city. i think you guys have an issue that's going on the this morning that might aft traffic. >> there's a lot going on, mike. happening today, you're talking tath protests and rallies for may day. traditionally for workers rights. now the protests taking on a new meaning and could impact the morning and afternoon commute. >> "today in the bay's" bob ridell is live in oakland where people will be rallying all day long. some plan to try to block b.a.r.t. we understand, bob. >> in about 45 minutes, that's the plan. good morning to you, laura and sam. calling it block the tech commute. it's scheduled for 7:30 at the macarthur b.a.r.t. here in

downtown oakland. whether it comes to fruition, we don't know. that's what the protest organizers are planning. as a result, ac transit is trying to be prepared. so rerouting the buses until 11:00 a.m. around that area. just in case there are a lot of people out there. and then at 9:00, there's another rally. it's a march, it's called labor against police terror. that's a march scheduled from the port of oakland to city hall here in downtown oakland. again, if you have business in the city of oakland those are two areas you just want to keep in nimind this morning. may day protests typically focus on workers rights p weapon expect protesters today to be trying to rally for things like higher minimum wages and protection for millions of undocumented workers facing deportation. this year we also expect protesters to rally against the recent cop killings in other parts of the country, cop killings of unarmed black men after this week's protests in baltimore over a death of a man who died after sustaining injuries to his spine while in police custody.

so you've got those two rallies i just mentioned happening this morning. at least are supposed to. and in our two more scheduled for later today at latham square in downtown oakland. one scheduled for noon, another one at 7:00 tonight. reporting live here in oakland, bob ridell, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. now, there are events planned for may day across the bay as bob mentioned. in san francisco, people are going to rally for the international workers day festival at civic center plaza. that starts at 1:30. later in the afternoon there's going to be a march from civic center plaza to 24th and mission. then farther south in san jose, there will be a march and rally at city hall and that march kicks off at 2:00. 6:50. may day protesters are planning to demonstrate in baltimore today as well as prosecutors review the police report on the death of freddie gray. overnight things were calm in the city. 10:00 p.m. curfew will likely stay in place until sunday. so far details of the police report are not being made

public. police sources however tell a tv station in baltimore freddie gray suffered a broken neck from the impact of his head slamming into the back of a police transport van. reportedly there's no evidence his injuries were caused during the arrest. on that topic, recent calls for change in police tactics and transparency have led to a broader discussion on police body cameras. today a $20 million investment to get more body worn cameras on law enforcement officers across the entire country. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is here now with who gets that money, kris shs and how much we're really talking about here, how far is it going to go? >> there's the cost of the cameras, sam, and also the cost of storing all of that video and that cost is the very reason the mayor of baltimore veto'd her city's body camera measure earlier this year. first, let's talk about the specifics of what is that department of justice pilot plan. it is a grant of $20 million to be split by 50 different departments. about a third of which are small

agencies. those departments have to then pony up dollar for dollar match before they buy their cameras, they have to have plan for training officers and how they will use the cameras. now, sfpd is working on a plan independent of the doj plan deciding when the cameras will roll, how long the footage will live in archives. the police chief says he hopes having a camera on every officer will restore community trust. at the same time, the san francisco sheriff says if that's true the city should buy them for his department as well. local tug of war. back to those storage costs for all of that video. let's use berkeley as an example. according to the "associated press," there the city manager estimate it would cost $45,000 per year to store the video coming from 150 cameras on their officers. that would be enough work for one or two full-time employees. the city manager also warned the 30 minutes per shift that each officer would have to spend processing the video would add up over the year's time to the same cost as having five full-time officers.

so right now the department's likely considering whether to apply for that doj money because it does just cover the cameras and not the ensuing costs going forward. and as they say, there's no such thing as a free lunch. sam, laura? >> thank you, kris. also a new app aimed at making it easier for the public to document police misconduct called mobile justice california. it just launched yesterday. more than 2,000 people have already downloaded it. here's how it works. if you're witnessing an incident with the police you open up the app and you press record. the video is sent to an aclu lawyer closest to you right away no matter what happens to your pho phone. a major earthquake rattled the south pacific nation of papua new guinea. the pacific tsunami warning center sent out a tsunami alert following that quake but that warning has since been lifted an no damage reported. developing right now the people of nepal are trying to

put their lives back together follow that massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake. the they're picking up tents and starting to move back indoors, if they have a home to get in to. this is new video this morning showing survivors and evacuees watching as an entire mountainside just gives way. this landslide happened just moments after saturday's quake. the death toll now tops 6,000 people. amid all the tragedy there is a little hope. this 4-month-old baby boy back with his mother after surviving a full day buried beneath the rubble of a collapsed building. rescuers heard the baby crying. they used their bare hands just to pick things apart to try to free that little face. just yesterday a 15-year-old boy and a young woman were also rescued from the debris five days after the earthquake. so some incredible stories of survival we're hearing. new this morning, neighbors rushing to the rescue in a home catches fire overnight in san jose. this happened just before 1:00

near highway 101. neighbor said before fire crews arrived her brother ran into the house just to make sure everyone got out. >> my brother went into the house. he had to breakdown the door. then my brother's friend had to c call 911 because my neighbor couldn't get ahold of anybody from the police station. they got there right when the smoke was there. >> fortunately the smoke detector woke up people in the middle of the night. no one was hurt. the fire did burn two other homes before crews managed to put it out. a con artist to be keyed into, someone trying to rip people off by pretending to be a san jose police officer. they tell the mercury news that suspect has been leaving phone messages for residents claiming to be sergeant mike harris. the man then asked for a payment on a prepaid credit card to clear your criminal record. the san jose police department says, by the way, there's no sergeant mike harris on the force and cautions residents that real police would never seek any kind of payment.

6:55. notice this? gas prices causing many people to do a double take at the pump. prices have injured nearly 40 cents in just the past week. right now the average price for a gallon of gas in san jose about $3.64. it's about ten cents more in san francisco. a gallon of gas in the city by the bay is going to cost you about $3.75. in oakland, prices have risen to $3.61. 11 cents more than just yesterday. >> all right. going to start dipping into the savings soon. price hikes come after months of low gas prices. so low that it hit san ramon chevron hard. >> scott mcgrew, about 40% profits down? >> very few people are d disappointing when oil companies don't make money. chevron said those low gas prices from months ago crushed its profits, falling 43%. low oil prices have also caused significant layoffs in the

petroleum industry and slowed the adoption of new green energy as well. link linkedin is having profit problems. the strong dollar is hurting performance. it made linkedin premium memberships more expensive for europeans which account for four out of ten linkedin customers. that stock is down 17% this morning. san francisco's latest minimum wage hike takes effect today. san francisco will tie oakland for the highest minimum wage in the united states from 1105 up to 1225. several small businesses, sam and laura, say they have had to close as of today including borderland books. the small business essay it's going to be tough. >> interesting tie-in, today is may day, obviously asking for higher wages. all comes together. thank you very much, scott. we have an update to breaking news. fire crews say a fire at an apartment complex on the peninsula is out. >> "today in the bay's" stephanie chuang has been following this story.
