some believe it may transform the militants east. tracie potts is following developments. she'll have a live report in 30 minutes. happening today, some of the strictest safety regulations in the state of california up for debate in berkeley, this following last month's deadly balcony collapse. >> kris sanchez has more on what the new balcony construction proposals are. welcome back, kris. >> thank you very much. this is the berkeley city council talking about changing policy, but also in actual construction, which means they want to hold not only the builders responsible, but they're also putting the onus on the city itself, and its inspection process. let's start with the physical changes first. we saw in the video following that june 16th balcony collapse that the beams supporting the balcony were made of wood and the investigation revealed that there was severe dry rot. you can see it crumbling away there. the berkeley city council is proposing that going forward, those beams be built with something more durable, and be better waterproofed. the council is also calling for

better design standards to protect the integrity of the construction from weather exposure, as well. one councilman will also push for more frequent inspections every three years instead of every five, and there's also a call for a baseline inspection for all balconies to get a lookover within the next six months. additionally, a construction bill that would force construction companies to disclose any past problems is up for a critical vote today in sacramento. assembly members representing berkeley and san mateo is clearly pushing for this in their districts. under the bill, construction companies would have to reveal any past penalties for construction mistakes or fraud, and that includes lawsuits against them, as well. the changes may be little comfort for the families of the six people killed and seven people hurt in the collapse. many berkeley residents have asked the council to do something to prevent a similar tragedy from ever happening again. sam and laura? >> thank you very much, kris. 5:02. the sun of a boston police

"today in the bay's" stephanie chuang with more on the man federal agents say was the master mind behind it all. good morning. >> reporter: that's right, laura and sam.

you may remember this story with a lot of twists and turns back in march that involved an $8.500 ransom. after that woman turned up safe in southern california, police called it a hoax and now the attorneys for denise huskins and her boyfriend say police need to own their mistake. it was yesterday at a press conference when both denise huskins and aaron quinn appeared very emotional, side by side. this after the fbi arrested a 38-year-old sacramento area man for the kidnapping back in march. behind bars for that this morning is harvard graduate, matthew muller, who was practicing immigration law in san francisco as recent as three years ago. he also served time in the gulf war and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder back in 2008. >> said it was a hoax and she owed an apology to the public. today the vallejo police department owes an apology to miss huskins and mr. quinn. >> reporter: this began after a dublin police detective started

to link together a june home invasion robbery to the vallejo kidnapping. investigators had found a pair of goggles in muller's car in tahoe with a long, blonde strand of hair in it, the same color as huskins' hair, along with goggles she said she was forced to wear during the kidnapping. muller is being held in santa rita jail in dublin on the home invasion and kidnapping allegations. but more on what tipped off detectives to this very complicated case coming up in the next report in a half hour. live in vallejo, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> not just vallejo and dublin. the feds say muller might be linked to unsolved crimes in the peninsula, too. a burglary case in palo alto dating back to 2009. a young woman bound and blindfolded inside of her home. now no charges were ever filed. also in 2009, mountain view police investigated a similar home invasion robbery involving a masked suspect who restrained and blindfolded the victims.

nasa right now celebrating a journey to pluto nearly ten years in the making. a new probe is going to provide new images of the planet. >> a lot of celebrating going on. bob redelle with details on today's early morning party. >> laura and sam, some people celebrating moments ago, a half hour ago. these are images from the new horizons control room back east. scientists part of this historic mission, a mission that's been over nine years in the making. it was nine years ago when the new horizons spacecraft left the planet earth for a 3 billion mile journey to pluto. of course, it's been on and off status. it's now called a dwarf planet, but for many of us when we were a kid, one of the nine planets of the solar system before it got down graded. but the whole point of this mission is to get a better sense of the origins of our solar system, by studying this icy planet. so about a half hour ago, the new horizons spacecraft got the

closest it's going to get. it did a fly-by at 30,000 miles per hour, 7,800 miles away from the surface of the planet and only has 30 minutes to take its measurements, photos and what not. as i'm speaking now, it should be wrapping up that fly-by as it's been 30 minutes since it first arrived there. and as i mentioned, there's also been images that have been sent back to earth over the past week. these are images from this past thursday, and it shows a planet that is unexpectedly peach in color, and you might also notice there are some dark and light regions across its face. >> we have seen these crazy black and white patterns. we have no idea what those mean. and a lot of circular things that we're wondering, are those craters or something else? we saw circular features on neptune's moon triton that are not craters. >> reporter: those images from thursday. we're still awaiting images the

new horizons spacecraft is taking now as i speak. because it's so far away, over 3 billion miles, it will take time for radio transmissions to get back. they're expecting another three-and-a-half to four hours. if you're interested in celebrating the new horizons mission, nasa ames is inviting you to a commemoration later this afternoon, starting here at 2:00 in mountain view. reporting live here in mountain view, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> who doesn't love a good party? >> i'm interested in bringing champagne. >> stepping up the party a little bit. tomorrow amazon is promising a party, a sale bigger than black friday. >> which is turning into an intergalactic competition. walmart has now moved to dull amazon's news with a sale of its own. >> should i be excited about this? >> amazon wants you to be. and i think they're getting walmart to help them get you excited. walmart is going to steal some of amazon's sales, laura. but what walmart has managed to do ist7 amazon prime day.

straight session as investors breathe a sigh of relief that greece reached a bailout deal. powers strike a nuclear deal with iran, raising the prospect of iranian oil hitting the market. we get data on retail sales and earnings from jpmorgan and wells fargo. the dow jumping 217 points to 17977. the nasdaq up 73 to 5071. scott? >> already, landon, thank you. it's been rough on the stock market lately and with interest rates near zero, it's been difficult to find any place to make any money. case in point, calipers. our state workers retirement system and largest public retirement system in the united states just completed its financial year and made, drum roll, 2.4%. compare that to a return of 18.4% last fiscal year. calpers compared with some retirement systems, we're doing fine because we actually have money. >> which is a good thing. i think we have to hit 7 offer

or 8% to pay pensions out. >> correct. and if you go over ten years, we're averaging just fine. but if calpers is making 2.some percent, you're in the going to make anything more than that. >> talking about the kids this morning, as well. if you want your kids to put down the ipads and smartphones, doctors say do the same yourself. pediatricians say young children learn by example, and often copy the behavior of adults. a recent study conducted at a fast food restaurant found the majority of parents were using smartphones while eating with their children. the study also showed those children were more likely to misbehave. >> quality human connection. previous drug use may have long lasting effects, longer than originally thought in women. a new study compared brains of healthy adults to those with a history of using cocaine or other amphetamines. women who were former addicts had significantly less brain volume in areas linked to

don't even grow there. there's nothing. >> now you start looking at people who have these nice, lush, green lawns and thinking what the heck are you doing? >> yeah. watering. >> exactly. we need that water. >> and i have a cactus and i can't even keep that thing alive. but i don't know. >> they don't need water. >> it doesn't. but we are also looking to the forecast to see if we can get some rain in there. and we are turning our attention to the tropics, because there is a slight chance that we could see a little bit of that moving in by the end of the week. but right now, we are getting ready for the temperatures to ramp up. as we get a look outside, across the bay, temperatures in the mid 50s in the north bay, and the south bay right now at 61 degrees. now the seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen. come on over and take a look. because the hottest temperature will be on thursday. but right now we're starting out with some mild temperatures, and today's forecast not that bad, in the 70s and 80s, east bay. 74 degrees, and reaching the

upper 80s in the tri valley. the forecast nice and comfortable as you walk out the door this morning, you already start to feel the breeze. it's a little more breezy than we typically see this early in the day and into the afternoon, the winds picking up to about 15 to 20 miles per hour, a little bit more gusty in spots. and even this evening, it stays breezy. and the reason why is because we have a pressure gradient, meaning high pressure just offshore and then low pressure just to the east of us. and it keeps the storm track away but makes the winds breezy coming in from the north and to the west. the desert heat is building, and as the high pressure moves in, that will also start to edge into the tri valley by tomorrow and thursday. and here's the tropics. what i've been talking about, hurricane dolores will strengthen into the next couple days and may bring some rain across parts of the desert southwest. we'll keep an eye on this. right now mike is keeping an eye on traffic. >> good morning, kari.

the berkeley city council is proposing that going forward, they be built with something more durable. the council also calling for better design standards to protect the integrity of the construction from the exposure to the elements. one councilman is also going to push for more frequent inspections every three years instead of every five, and there's also a call for a baseline inspection for all balconies in the city within the next six months. this is a state assembly where a construction bill that would force construction companies to disclose any of their past problems is up for a critical vote today. assembly members representing berkeley and san mateo loni hancock and jerry hill are pushing for it. under the bill, construction companies would have to reveal any past penalties for construction mistakes or fraud, and any lawsuits against that company. the changes may be of little comfort for the families of the six people killed, and the seven people hurt in the collapse. some of them still recovering today. many berkeley residents have asked the council to do something to prevent a similar

bipolar disorder. >> in muller is in a very difficult place. he's facing state charges, he's facing federal charges, and those are very difficult for any person, certainly a person with a mental disease. >> reporter: his arrest stems from work from a dublin detective working on a june 5th home invasion robbery. police say muller tried to tie up a couple then but after he was fought off, left behind his cell phone, leading them to his car, where detectives found items that appeared to confirm the vallejo abduction was real, swim goggles with a strand of blonde hair stuck to tape, a water gun and laser pointer, zip ties and cell phone with pictures the kidnappers had sent in e-mails. this morning, muller is in custody on charges of first degree residential robbery and assault. his attorney says he has and will continue to plead not guilty to all charges. live in vallejo, stephanie chuang. secretary of defense ash carter has commissioned a study

have returned, but the mild weather one more day for today. and then the next couple of days once again it starts to ramp up. we start out with the cloudy morning by the coast, sunny, breezy and a warm day. and here are our lunch time temperatures. 68 degrees in the east bay. 78 degrees in the south bay. peninsula, reaching 79 degrees during the drive home. the high temperature will be 88 degrees in the tri valley. and the north bay, 86 degrees. so a little bit warmer than yesterday. but at least we do still have the sea breeze going on. as high pressure continues to move right overhead, it weakens that sea breeze, and allows for more of that desert heat to move, especially into the tri valley. and that's where we will notice the biggest temperature change with highs reaching into the 90s on wednesday and thursday. but then we turn our attention to the tropics where hurricane dolores is moving off the western coast of mexico into the next couple of days. this storm may strengthen before

it weakens and then that moisture starts to stream into the desert southwest. and knocks back that heat. and we're hoping for at least a slight chance of rain with some of that tropical moisture moving in between late saturday night and sunday, but right now we're going to keep it dry, and temperatures coming down in the tri valley. 94 degrees on friday, down to 90 -- i say down to 90, but it will still be pretty hot. 88 degrees on sunday. and the south bay expect highs in the lower 80s by the end of the weekend. let's see what's happening on those roads now with mike. >> you had me chuckling with that down to 90, kari. over here, down no know lanes moving smoothly. i should say freely. looking at your map, an easy approach and no real drama around the bay. the earlier stalled vehicle at treasure island cleared from the reports. as we zoom out the rest of your bay, we have your typical build for the tri valley and slowing from nimitz to through hayward. there's a little slowing north

101 in our live shot just north of 680. there you go, guys. typical pattern. back to you. >> we'll take it from here. thank you, mike. a look now at some stories we're working on for 6:00. last month, a deadly balcony collapse in berkeley leading to swift action from city leaders. the series of tough new regulations that may be approved as soon as today. a new twist and tale of a bizarre bay area kidnapping. initial down downplayed by investigators. details on a recent arrest that turned this story around. and questions over the recent deadly pier 14 shooting now echoing all the way into d.c.'s corridors. the tough scrutiny expected today surrounding san francisco's immigration policy. happening today, the son of a boston police captain accused of plotting to plant bombs in a university will make his first court appearance. 23-year-old alexander cicollo is scheduled to enter a plea. he was arrested after he obtained four guns from an fbi informant. the fbi reportedly recorded him talking with the informant about

his plans to detonate pressure cooker bombs at an unidentified university. ciccolo's father reportedly told the fbi about his son last fall, saying his son had a long history of mental illness and was talking about joining isis. how much help did el chapo get? a manhunt now for the notorious mexican king pin, el chapo, who escaped from his maximum security cell in mexico with a tunnel that took reportedly ten months to build. now u.s. authorities say that escape was a long time coming. yeah. dea agents say they warned the prison over a year ago that drug lord, joaquin guzman was planning on escaping. locals spotted dump trucks hauling away rubble from a house in a farm field near the prison. perhaps that was a red flag. on saturday, investigators say guzman escaped through a hole in his cell shower into a mile-long underground tunnel that led right to a house. this marks el chapo's second prison escape. a man wanted in connection with his missing infant daughter

was shot by deputies. but the baby is still missing. matthew graham was killed by deputies in dunsmuir last night after he led deputies on a chase. he became a person of interest in the disappearance of his daughter, ember. ember has been missing since july 2nd. a call right now for criminal justice reform from president obama, who was heading to philadelphia today to speak at the naacp's national convention. in recent months, he's repeatedly said the country needs to improve its justice system. mr. obama even brought it up in his eulogy for the minister who was killed in charleston. today the president will make the case for public safety and sentencing reform practices that make the system what he says is fairer, smarter and more cost effective. 5:47. today could mark the end of a trial against the man accused of a movie theater attack in colorado, killing 12 people. close to three months after the trial began, lawyers will

present their closing arguments today. james holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. he shot up a movie theatre during a midnight showing of "batman the dark knight rises" back in 2012. prosecutors say he planned the attack, but holmes' defense says he's mentally ill. >> the jury has to decide if the prosecution proved holmes sane beyond a reasonable doubt. if so, he is guilty, and they move on to the penalty phase to determine whether he is cuted. >> if found not guilty, holmes could be sent to a colorado mental health institution. a guilty verdict would send the trial into the death penalty phase, which could take weeks. laura, after two days of searching, crews have found the teenaged girl who survived a plane crash in washington state. someone found the girl wandering alone on a road in remote washington last night. officials say she had been walking through the for days through the forest.

the spacecraft as you can see, sent back these images of pluto. it shows a planet unexpectedly peach in color, dark and light regions across its face. scientists are still trying to figure out what those images mean, and hope it gets clues to the origin of our solar system. >> i think this is a great example of a great society and a great nation and what great nations do. and i have to tell you, the data we're going to produce -- in fact, the data we're already producing, is a gift for the ages to all mankind. >> reporter: again, because of the distance it takes for those radio signals to travel, they were saying it was going to be about four hours from that fly-by before we started seeing new images, close-up images of pluto. there are scientists from nasa ames involved in this mission. and because of that, nasa ames is inviting the public a little later this afternoon, around 2:00, to come here to mountain view to commemorate this historic mission. reporting live here in mountain
