here or geary or fulton. we'll see what happens today. the three-day closure is to turn doyle drive into presidio parkway. crease are connecting the final pieces of the roadway. set to open mon at 5:00 in the morning. for the new drive from marina to northbound 101, you go up on the on ramp, there is a short bridge into one of the two new tunnels. project leaders say your overall drive will be safer with better views. big question, how to get around this closure. golden gate's area to set to triple service. at 8:00 this morning there will be one extra boat that can carry up to 500 passengers into the city and additional late night service. advice is to get a ride or bike to the terminal because parking will be tough. bus service is set to stay at same, the advice is the buses will be stuck in the same kind of traffic. the hope is that people will heed the warning that you've been hearing all along. chp says if not there could be delays of up to four hours,

especially today. live in san francisco this morning, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." of course, she's going to keep an eye on traffic and all the backup through the golden gate bridge. let's turn now to mike inouye. how can people try to get around it? >> laura, i think you said it very well. steph, we have all advised it, stay home from work. i don't think people need to get that encourage m, everybody would like to do that. if you're mott lucky enough to be able to steph mentioned the ferry system which will get you here from the north bay and east bay. the issue is the same thing as when we talk about bart it's not the actual transport that's the problem it's the amount of parking so get there early and take that shuttle to the station if you can. we're look at a smooth drive but already our speed sensors are not reporting a problem for the golden gate bridge, it's a low down for thulombard coming up v necessary. east, west, geary and fulton can take you around. we will track this of course all morning long. back to you. >> doyle drive, mike, is going

to remain closed through the weekend as you mentioned. if you need to get into the city and you want to check traffic conditions you can find all that information on our free nbc bay area app. happening today, we could learn more about what led up to the shooting of a woman on san francisco's pier 14. share rift ross mirkarimi is holding a press conference this morning at 10:00 to talk about why juan francisco lopez-sanchez was released in april. lopez-sanchez is accused of killing kate steinle as she walked along the pier with her father on july 1st. the gun he reportedly used was stolen from a federal officer's car four days before the shooting but lopez-sanchez says he found it on the ground. this morning the chronicle reports san francisco police never assigned an investigator to look into the gun theft. police hope the public can help them track down a burglar linked to several crimes in concord and they even know who they're looking for. concord police have issued a warrant for jason harris. police this i that harris breaks

stabler was as much a legend off the field as he was on the field. >> he could go out and party much like his counterpart bobby lane and he'd show up -- he might show up with a hangover and stick is sick, he'd lead his team to victory. >> it was a very successful group. stabler played for the raiders until 1979. he retired in 1984. his family says he died wednesday from colon cancer surrounded by loved ones. ken stabler was 69 years old. >> ledge tear raiders head coach john madden released a at the same time saying he was a perfect quarterback and perfect raider. when you think about the raiders you think about ken stabler. he loved life. it is a sad day for all raiders. the last quarterback to lead the raiders to a super bowl also issued a statement. rich began nontweeted so sorry to hear about the passing of a true legend, ken stabler, the original number 12. it was a pleasure to know him and wear his number. >> there won't be mother one

been measured as it continues to move off to the east a few sprinkles will linger through at least the morning, but not enough to really turn off the sprinklers, unfortunately, as we go through the morning also may lower the visibility with those temperatures in the 60s today will be an awesome day. reaching into the 70s and for most of the bay area we will see low to mid 70s, peninsula 76 degrees, the east bay 72 degrees with some afternoon sunshine and lower 80s for the tri-valley with a mixture of sun and clouds. into the next couple of days our temperatures will be going up with all of that sunshine. i will have more on that but we also have some low clouds over the golden gate bridge and mike is tracking the traffic over there. what's happening, mike? we have first of all i want to point out on the pavement it was a little bit wet out here this morning. that's not the major concern, though. yes, traffic would be an issue coming over from the marin side. let's look at the map. it's because my concern is the doyle drive closure.

you've heard about it, so par things are jamming up a bit over here, lom barred and van necessary getting into the area. it's the same stretch of roadway and your only major route to or or from the golden gate bridge. avoid the area if you can if. there's a giants game in the area that will bring congestion into the city tonight. it's early, but people are lining up outside of sacred heart hoping to be a part of the nonprofit's latest give away. this is in san jose and they could do it every year. can you see the people gathered there to the right of your screen? they actually have a cordon it off there. so many people come out. it's a wonderful give away, sacred heart hopes to fill 3,000 new backpacks with new school supplies for low income stew events did. today is the first day that families can sign up to get the backpacks so a lot of dedicated parents out there. they will actually come back and pick them up if they make the list closer to the start of the school year. they could always use some help

so you can donate money or new school supplies, certainly goes to a good cause, sam. >> a lot of future doctors and lawyers are going to be very appreciative of those backpacks one day. you've got your degree, got your first real job, now comes the fun part, shopping for your first home. but not so fast. a new study says it takes bay area graduates an alarming amount of time to save up a down payment and apple moving to san jose, scott mcgrew. >> that could make our property prices worth even more. make it even harder to find a home. we'll take a look coming up in business news.

>> announcer: you're watching "today in the bay." a very good friday morning to you. taking a live look outside, san francisco this morning. a live along the embarcadero. 5:13. college graduates looking up a pretty steep mountain if they want to buy a home in san francisco. that's accord to a new study. it assumes appreciation and that 20% down payment to buy a home. that's key because to save for that down payment in san francisco, if you were to just save for it would take a college graduate 29 years. for someone without a college degree, pretty impossible. the study lists detroit as the

easiest city to save for a down payment at four years. but you wouldn't be living in the bay area. 5:13. about an hour and a half the confederate flag is officially coming down in south carolina. yesterday its governor nikki haley signed a bill to ban the flag interest flying on state house grounds. this morning there is going to be a low key ceremony to lower that flag and move it over to a military museum, but the debate is reignited after nine people were killed at a historic black church in charleston a few weeks ago. the suspect was seen in pictures holding the confederate flag. >> every time i think about my wife and the other eight people i can't think of a better thing happening than that flag coming down. >> yesterday lawmakers on capitol hill talked about removing the confederate flag from all federal property. that vote was abruptly canceled. our coverage of this story will continue on "the today show" after "today in the bay." you can watch an exclusive interview with south carolina governor nikki haley coming up ats 7:00 this had morning.

it is 5:14. startling numbers, almost 7% of the u.s. population affected by recent massive government data breaches. yesterday government officials announced hackers took 21 million social security numbers from the databases used to run background checks of employees. investigators believe china may be behind the breach and they also think they are the same hack towers stole the records of 4 million former and current federal workers. not just social security numbers, either, those stolen records were actually part of security background checks for the federal government. >> that means, scott mcgrew, they may have contained very personal secrets. >> yeah, that's the fear. when you're given a security clearance questions are going to come up with past relationships, political attitudes, past mistakes and those were also part of the records stolen. as you mentioned there were two breaches. it's the second one with the social security numbers and the personal records, that's much more worrisome. both came out of the office of personnel management. the director of this office

resisting calls for her to resign. bottom line, anyone with a federal background check in the last 15 years has been exposed and we are only just now learning that number. that 15-year number. and that's way bigger than we thought. let's check your news before the bell, landon dowdy is live at cnbc head quarters. good morning. >> good morning. wall street could be poised for more gains today, futures are higher, stocks rose thursday, after rallying early on the rebound overnight in china. the do you and nasdaq are on pace for third street negative weeks. if he had chair janet yellen speaks about the economy this afternoon. the do you rising 33 points to 17,548 the nasdaq up 12 to 49.22. a big win for san jose this this morning. apple is going to open a very big office on the north side of the city, even as apple builds a space ship head quarters if this

like advil, motrin and aleve. the fda is also asking drug makers to update medicine labels to reflect what they perceive as those risks. the fda is putting the brakes on other types of labels. this morning the agency is extending a deadline requiring restaurants to list calories on menus. now it won't be mandated until next year. the rule became law under obamacare five years ago but was delayed in part due to opposition on the food industry. the fda says this latest delay is to clarify the menu labeling requirements and give businesses more time to comply. >> a few more months for guilt free meals and then you are going to be told kpagt exactly what you're putting in your body. you may want to add a banana or grapefruit to your breakfast. a new report showing americans aren't eating enough fruits and veges. according to the cdc we should be eating one or two cups of fruit each day and two to three cups of vegetables each day.

14% of californians say they're meeting that fruit requirements and when it comes to vegetables 13% said they were eating enough on a daily basis, however, californians are doing a better job than the rest of the country. only one in ten americans are eating enough fruits and veg wrees. don't smoke feek the glutes -- what i did was the vegetables in my socks in the denny hamlin iter table. >> are you kidding me? >> i got away with it for years until i just confessed, the guilt was weighing me down. >> i have never heard of that. interesting. >> yeah. >> and we grow everything here so there is no excuse. >> farmers market. >> there is a farmers market on every corner. >> i have to watch him when he comes over for dinner. >> keep the chocolate hand gee. >> it will be a great weekend. we're getting a few sprinkles this morning, helping out just a little bit, but unfortunately the rain we have seen overnights was not enough to turn off the sprirng letters. let's get a look at what's happening right now as you head out the door.

this is what you need to know coming over and take a look, spotty morning showers. yeah, i had to turn on the windshield wipers this morning but a lot of that rain continues to move on out. sunrise coming up very soon and skies clearing later today, temperatures will be slightly warmer hand yesterday, i really enjoyed not having to turn on the ac yesterday. a few clouds this evening and sunset at 8:35. here is that rain i've been talking about. you're probably not seeing it now. let's go quick one and done type deal. it's all because of an area of low pressure that continues to draw in some monsoonal moisture but you can probably still feel that humidity on the air and see interests a little bit of a sheen on the streets as we go through the rest of the morning, though, a lot of that moisture moving out. this is the future cast. it shows we are not going to see much more rain as we go through the day. i guess that's great if you're heading out to the giants game, phillies versus the giants, first pitch at 7:15 it will be 63 degrees, dropping back to 60 degrees by the end of the game. there is a lot of events going

on this weekend including the obon festival in japan town, san jose, 81 degrees on saturday and 78 degrees on sunday is, a lot of sunshine. also the jack of all trades market on saturday in oakland and we start out at 63 degrees, we get a lot of sun and 72 degrees in the middle of the day and in the upper 60s by the time that we start to see the sun getting a little bit lower on the horizon. the weekend forecast, it will be very nice, all across the board, all across the bay area. service staying in the 60s and the tri-valley making it into the mid 80s. that's a look at your forecast. right now let's check in with mike. first we will show you the live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. you do see the cash lanes starting to build a bit. we're worried we will see more traffic flow. this is one of your alternates to avoid the golden gate bridge. use the richmond bridge, east shore freeway and around into the city. so far you're doing all right but there's slowing for van ness and lombard getting over there.

giants game tonight as kari said, that will mean more traffic into the city. keep that in mind and avoid the golden gate bridge air in a if you can. a crash 880 north of 238 on the shoulder no major problems. a little build coming out of the altamonte and south bay moves slowly. the pontiff makes a pit stop at a burger king in bolivia, but it wasn't a burger he was after. could it have been those chicken fries? our producer looks like. live look at the golden gate bridge this morning. doyle drive closed. we've got all the alternates to help you get around.

the past hour a major development from police. doyle drive is now officially closed. the get around if you're trying to get in or out of san francisco. and some of us woke up to some sprinkles this morning, but will we see that in weekend? i will have more coming up in the microclimate forecast. and so i will have the effects of both of those, those sprinkles and also that doyle drive closure. look, the bay bridge it's not friday light here, we will talk about the disrupted traffic flow. >> announcer: from nbc bay area. this is "today in the bay." good friday morning. thank you for joining us, i'm sam brock. >> and i'm laura garcia-cannon. we do have new details just into our newsroom about a home invasion robbery overnight in east san jose. >> a disruption for neighbors no question. "today in the bay" bob redell live at police headquarters where he just got an update from officers. they made arrests overnight here. >> reporter: san jose police at headquarters tell us they have arrested all four suspects and

what they are describing as a home invasion robbery. this taking place in the east side of san jose on harvest drive, but it did take some time as you can see in it video here as police had to set up a perimeter and do a yard to yard search. this happened around 7:30 last night, there were four men according to officers, at least one with a gun, it they burst into that home on harvest drive, ransacked the house and assaulted a man who lives there, possibly slashing had him in a knife or some other sort of sharp object. we are not certain what his condition is right though. they did try to escape with the man he is money but officers arrived, immediately arrested two of the suspects, the other two hopped the fence leading to an intense search of it this area. it wasn't until 1:00, 1:30 they found the other two men. of the four suspects two of just 17 years old. they right now in r. in juvy hall, the adults in count gee

jail. reporting live outside san jose police headquarters, bob redell. it's a messy morning commute for people trying to get in and out of the city. doyle drive now officially closed and crews are warning that some drivers could be stuck in traffic for hours. >> we have live team coverage of the closure and what it means to you. let's given begin with "today in the bay" is stephanie chuang. live in san francisco. how is it looking so far? >> reporter: still looking good, everything is very smooth. the concern will probably be coming more in the 6:00 hour. there's so much concern that there are police officers here at highway 1/park presidio that turns into 19th avenue and california to traffic monitor basically with the vehicles coming offer the golden gate bridge, they say they've been out here since 10:00 last night when the doyle drive closure went into full effect. all this rerouting is happening so crews can remove that temporary bypass built three years ago and connect the final bees pieces of the new roadway. this has shut down the main access roid for the bridge on its san francisco side and all the traffic on and off the bridge is being diverted on to the two lanes in each direction

on highway 1. if approximate you want to avoid that traffic headache the suggestion is to take the golden gate ferry. it starts at 8:00 this morning want extra boat tack carry up to 500 passengers into the city. also late night service today. use the ferry shuttle, bike or get a ride to the terminal because the parking lot will be full very early on. bus service is set to stay the same but may not be the best option as we heard the buses will be stuck in traffic like everyone else. i did just get an update by the way from the presidio parkway project pokes approximate person who says everything is on track, it f. it keeps heading this way it will hit the deadline of opening on monday morning. >> we will keep an eye on traffic backup near the golden gate bridge. let's turn now to mike inouye. how can people try to get around it? >> the golden gate bridge transit buses are working, but we suggest avoiding those as well because they will get stuck in some of that surface street traffic.

the ferry system is the greatest way, the most scenic and takes you away from the all the surface street traffic. what we're seeing is one of the alternates, the richmond bridge, east shore freeway to the bay bridge. getting into the city right now because we do have a backup at the toll plaza. let's take the live camera showing you the backup, fills in the toll plaza as well. i turned the other camera in emeryville towards the metering lights they weren't on a few seconds ago, they may be turned it on shortly because the jam was going up the incline. this is unusually slow for a friday getting into oakland from san francisco. watch the area around where steph is -- i'm sorry, california, geary and highway 1. back to you guys. of course, doyle drive will remain closed through the weekend. if you need to get into san francisco and you want to check traffic conditions, you can find all that information on our free app. overnight bart crews inspected a stretch of track where a fire shut down service during peak commute hours. we first brought you that store as breaking news during the

morning. an electrical problem sparked the fire and billed a bart with smoke. that was just before 5:00 a.m. passengers were stranded for hours and several stations in the east bay closed down. bart says that fire is, quote, an anomaly. caltrans will reportedly get a cash infusion to prevent for damage to their rods on the bridge span. concerns about rods in the signature tower exposed to water and becoming weak. the chronicle reports a committee voted to spend $1.1 million to come up with a wide ranging plan to prevent further damage to the bolts. more than $3 million has already been spent. new this morning, hang on to your purse. a rise in purse thefts has women in morgan hill on high alert. police say in the past couple months alone someone stole four people's purses in the downtown shopping area. in all the crimes -- all those crimes the victims had their purses right am next to them

when a bicyclist basically rode by and snatched it away. the suspect has been seen riding a dark colored mountain bike and one of the biems the suspect road a bmx style bike. fourth of july fireworks at sick flags park was a hit however it is coming under fire because of this. environmentalists are pulling debris out of the lake chabot and say six flags should take responsibility for cleaning up the mess they say they make every year. >> i hope you can look at this and say that doesn't look right. it is an american tra dig, but at what cost? >> vallejo's fire chief is looking into the matter and says there will be talks about making the event more environmentally friendly. the amusement park claims the fireworks are made mostly from biodegradable materials and that it hires a contractor to clean the lake shore every summer. critic argue that's not if you have. california remains gripped in the midst of a drought. we are rerng more about the financial impact that the lack

of water is taking on the state. researchers at davis say large numbers of farmers, mostly in central california, have been leaving their land unplanted. more than 560,000 acres this year alone. that unused land is forecast to cost farmers $1.8 billion. this year there will be more than 8,500 fewer farm jobs because of the drought. all that means fewer food processing and transportation jobs and no doubt higher costs to consumers ifs there's less produce to go around. >> you can see it. you drive everywhere in central california it's a bare rent land out there. the cost to replace those trees and for them to mature could take a lot of money and time. >> agriculture is business business in california. we could definitely use some rain. we saw a little sprinkle so far this morning. maybe there's more in the forecast. let's check in with kari into at least we do have a little bit of green on the radar, most of that now moving over toward the

central valley. if you were out early this morning you may see those sprinkles out there and even heading out now you see the streets are a little bit damp, but most of this moisture is moving out of here, but we're still left with the clouds, temperatures are now in the lower 60s and into the rest of the day it will be another comfortable day. yesterday was pretty nice and we had a mixture of sun and clouds, the temperatures staying back town into the upper 70s will be the high today in the south bay, peninsula 76 degrees, east bay 72 while is san francisco stays at 69 degrees and a mixture of sun and clouds for the tri-valley, too, reaching 80 degree. all of these temperatures are much cooler than where we should be for the beginning of july. well, into the next few days it warms up a few more degrees. i will talk more about that in the next microclimate forecast. right now let's see how the roads are floelg with mike. we are not where we should be on a friday. if you're heading to the bay bridge you should not be in this big back up. i didn't see any lanes blocked for any of our live cameras.

the flow of traffic here, look at the.ma, the reason likely this doyle drive closure so folks are avoiding that golden gate bridge, coming down around the east bay, richmond bridge and east shore freeway. i don't see any unusual slowing there, but that volume at the bay bridge that's a concern. oakland into san francisco delayed and remember the giants play tonight, there will be a continued problem if this traffic flow lasts and it will likely throughout the weekend because there's the closure or doyle drive forcing folks who want to head to the golden gate bridge down to california to geary past steph chuang off highway 1 or presidio parkway or 19 but that officially is a little further south. there's the rest of why you are drive into toward the city. nothing really unusual about the rest of the flow aside from the backup at the bay bridge and also slowing southbound heading toward a crash toward 238, so far just mild. the fda wants you to think twice before reaching into the medicine cabinet. the agency is ampg up warnings about over the counter painkillers and may be an end to the anguish in greece, scott

mcgrew. >> the prichgs is in the hands of the eu. will they agree to a new bailout? >> first we're going to take a live look outside. the sun's arrival on our friday morning over san jose. some rain to start our day, that's quite refreshing. what about up in san francisco, city by the bay, a nice overcast start. got to love a bay area morning. we're back with 15 minutes of nonstop news, traffic and weather after the break.

>> announcer: you're watching "today in the bay." a very good morning to you. isn't that nice? the color balance there between the orange of the golden gate bridge, the blue in the sky. nice start to our bay.

if you have a prescription. they are all part of a class called nsaid, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, same category as vioxx which they took off the market more than a decade ago, now the fda says they have new information suggesting that this entire class of drugs could increase your risk for heart attack or stroke. it's something that they knew, but what's new about this is that they think it can happen in a shorter time, after a few weeks or maybe for some people just one week of taking it. tends to happen at higher dosages. so in addition to beefing up this warning on those medications they are also telling people to use the lowest dose possible and to try tylenol, acetaminophen first. if that doesn't work then try the lowest dose possible of these nsaid but it's a brand-new warning from the fda because they are very concerned about heart attack and stroke. >> thank you very much, tracie.

charleston, south carolina, which nine people were killed, this flag is coming town. the flag behind me, the confederate flag, it's been a long time since the civil war but emotions are still raw as you say, concerning the future of this flag. >> the confederate flag is coming off the grounds of the south carolina state house. >> reporter: it was a moment of pride. >> it is a great day in south carolina. >> reporter: spurred by a crime of hate. >> you won't ever get past what happened what happened in charleston. >> reporter: 150 years after the civil war ended a contentious debate continued this week in the state where the war began, a battle over the most recognizeable symbol of the con if he had raes. >> i cannot believe that we to do not have the heart in this body to do something meaningful. >> reporter: three weeks ago nine people were gunned down inside emanuel ame church by a 21-year-old man, fueled by hate and field with the confederate

flag. on thursday south carolina governor nikki haley used nine pens to sign the bill removing the flag, one for cynthia hurd whose brother malcolm witnessed the history making moment. >> my sister and eight others search as a benchmark for why that flag is coming down. it was a senseless murder. >> reporter: outside the state house some protests but mostly praise. >> we want it down. >> reporter: a sim bowling that once divided our country bringing people together in a state still reeling from a shockingly violent summer. >> also a heavy police presence here, we have seen bomb sniffing dogs go by, they have removed all the trash cans to make sure there are no explosives in them. they don't expect trouble but they want to make sure that there is no trouble at all. the flag will be taken to a nearby museum here and i talked to a number of south carolinians who say even if the flag isn't here at the state capital they continue to fly the flag of the con if he had raes on their own.

sam, laura. >> thank you very much, dave. as you mentioned, in the wake of the charleston church massacre that was seen there a group of friends actually decided to help those churches rebuild as a ramadan project. they're calling it #respond with love. one of the project organizers say they wanted to show the pain did mott go unnoticed by the muslim community. the group used launch-good a muslim run crowd founding site to raise money for that project. they reached their goal of $20,000 in less than three days. there's more fallout now over donald trump's controversial comments about immigration and crime. celebrity chef jeffrey zach recent announced he is pulling the plug on his restaurant at trump's washington, d.c. hotel. in a statement jack recent said that trump's views don't align with my core values. the move comes after several companies including our parent company nbc universal cut ties

with trump. trump has not responded to zach recent but he has in the past defended his remarks. trump's fellow presidential candidate jeb bush is breaking fundraising records. bush reported yesterday he has raised more than $114 million through the end of june. including $98 million already in the bank of. now he just has to figure out how to spend it. you can take it to the bank that will will be more political candidates in the bay area fundraising before long and also we're going to have a great weekend here. 70 degree temperatures, kari. >> spectacular. i was just thinking about last week. we had just come off of some triple digit heat across the bay area and this week we struggled to make it into the 70s. so i think that is a much welcomed change to not have to bla the ac all day and all night. as you walk out the door this is what you need to know as you head out we start to see the sunrise and it will be happening here in less than ten minutes. spotty morning showers in parts

of the bay area. yeah, that happened, too, and now most of it is clearing out. we're still left with the clouds and it will be clearing later on today with a mixture of sun and clouds. a little warmer than it was yesterday and sunset will be occurring at 8:35. here is that wet weather i was talking about. as you walk out you you probably don't see much of that anymore. it's still clearing and moving off towards the east, so i think after that we are pretty much done with our chance of some wet weather and it wasn't enough to turn off the sprinklers, unfortunately. a lot of it didn't measure up. now temperatures are in the lower 60s. let me take you to the east bay because temperatures in castro valley now at 59 degrees, we have 64 degrees in discovery bay getting ready for a very nice day as this area of low pressure that's been drawing in this monsoonal moisture making it feel a little bit more humid and even giving us a couple of light showers and sprinkles. that will be moving off to the east, but still bringing in some rain for the sierra.

if you will be traveling in that direction this weekend, plan on staying there. you may have to still teal with some wet weather. today the phillies face off with the giants at first pitch it will be 63 degrees and a few more clouds moving in by the end of the game, we will be in the lower 60s. this weekend in san jose in japan town great weekend for a lot of festivals going on and the rest of the microclimates we see a very nice weekend headed our way. let's check in for traffic. flashing lights but this may be good news. listen up closely. the bay bridge, this is on the incline, just past the metering lights, flashing lights here and also over here. two sets on either side. a big distraction as they clear a crash there. that may be what caused all the backup. let's look at the map. also the metering lights to be turned on. there's the backup but it's not really right now affecting the maze and actually recovering a bit. i was very concerned because i thought that meant a huge traffic flow to the east way bay to avoid the closure at doyle drive but perhaps that's not the case. not even affecting lombard from

our speed sensors. that will send folks from california over there. in the south bay we do have a crash, north 101 at allen rock, that is slowing down san jose that one section. today a historic celebration for the women's world cup winners, the u.s. women's soccer team will be honored with an iconic parade at city hall in new york city. they will be the first national team since 1984 and the first women's team ever to be honored. tens if not hundreds of thousands of people are expected to line the streets to celebrate that big win, but there's still a lot of work that needs be to done before any celebrating can actually happen. >> worst-case scenario we just work straight through the night tonight. we know that day the main attraction is going to be the ladies on the floats, you know? >> you want them to look good up there. >> sure we do. >> hopefully that was last night and they got it all done. the parade is connected to cost $2 million in line with what the most recent parade the giants in 2012 cost into those women played with is such joy.

5:51. one michigan judge's decision is causing a stir in the community. she locked up three siblings for refusing to eat lunch with their father. the kids aged 9, 10 and 15 were first ordered to a juvenile facility for failing to maintain a healthy relationship with their dad. the judge then held them in contempt of court after they refused to have lunch with him. they were in court for a custody hearing between their parents and one of the siblings previously said that his father was violent with his mother, but the judge still sent them to a juvenile facility where they're going to be separated. so far the judge is not commenting on that case. 5:52. here is a look at some of the stories we're work on for 6:00. a home invasion robbery leaving a south bay homeowner hospitalized. quick response from police that led to several arrests. certainly more questions than answers in that deadly pier 14 shooting, but some real answers might finally be coming in just a matter of hours. and we'll see how drivers

are coping with the first real test of that lengthy doyle drive closure impacting san francisco. safety advocates say the next car you rent could be riddled with recalls if a new bill is approved. that bill introduced yesterday by south dakota senator john thune. it requires companies to tell consumers about recall notices in writing if they don't intend to fix the car first. safety advocates counter that car rental companies shouldn't be a lo you had to rent out cars that aren't safe in the first place. the bill also gets rid of any hard ted line for railroads to start using technology that automatically stops trains to prevent crashes. uber says drivers suing for the same benefits as employees at other companies should be looked at on a case to case basis. three uber drivers are suing to be treated as employees with benefits and not contractors. those benefits could potentially include gas and automobile reimbursement. uber attorneys yesterday argued this case should not proceed as

a class action suit. among other things they say some drivers work for more than one ride service. if the case goes class action and uber were to lose, it may have costly repercussions for the ride sharing company. scott mcgrew, we've been talking about this all this week and last week, the new plan to bail out greece got written by greeks is now in the hands of the eu. >> it is looking it over now and what it decides will likely decide the fate of the greek nation. any early word? >> this is the actual proposal here, it's 13 pages when i printed it out in english. it calls for everything from the sale of many of greek's airports to 23% tax on food this restaurant, only a 13% tax on most other things. meanwhile what are they doing in athens? the same thing they do every day. they're standing in line at the a tchlt mch atms for their 60 euros they're allowed each day. this is new video of the exact same thing our news crews am athens send us every single day.

the irony here of course is that the greek voted no to an earlier bailout pro self, you remember last weekend because of all the ways that proposal made their lives tougher, higher taxes, budget cuts, and this weekend the full european commission is going to consider this latest proposal written by the greeks themselves which also makes their lives tougher. it's as if the greeks had said nobody can tell us how to be miserable except us. this photograph is making itself into lots of greek newspapers and facebook pages. those people are germans and the time is 1951 and they are signing a deal for their own german debt relief, the greeks are pointing to this and saying something to the effect of, forgive us our debts as other countries forgave the debts against you. wall street will who ep flee pick up some of the positive describes coming out of europe, the dow and nasdaq will suffer through its third negative week this this day. the only big financial news, january thet yellen will have a

speech at 9:00 about her attitudes about the economy and i'm sure greece will come up. >> we may or may not find out when her finally going to raise interest rates. >> i bet may not into i'm thinking no, too. 5:55. when it comes to the forecast let's check in with meteorologist kari hall. how are we looking? >> good morning. the sprinkles we had westerly err today rolling out of here and taking with it our chance of getting at least a little bit of some am esh rabl rain before the weekend. till some mist and drizzle lingering in some spots. we are in the upper 50s to lower 60s headed to the upper 60s in san francisco, authority bay 78 degrees, south bay 77, a mixture of sun an clouds today. we're agenda into a very nice weekend so go ahead and make plans to get outside. you may not want to head into san francisco, mike has more on that. >> we're going to talk about that doyle drive closure. san jose right in front of our camera northbound we had a little issue, car pulls over to the shoulder, that was in the backup approaching allen rock.

this is one segment of 101, it is outstanding from the rest of the south bay which is friday light. the rest of your bay looks good. southbound 880 out of oakland a disabled vehicle over at davis street is what's in the middle lane, it's not a crash, it's a disabled vehicle, still it's in lanes, that's slow. the bay bridge metering lights have been turned on, there was an earlier crash on the span and of course doyle drive and the congestion to and from the golden gate bridge. he was a legend on and off the field, today the bay area going to pay tribute to the former football star known affectionately as the snake. e a bow and arrow ♪
