landmark nuclear agreement with iran. economic sanctions would be lifted in return for that country curbing and making its sights accessible to u.n. inspectors that deal caps more than a decade of negotiations. some believe it could transform the militants middle east. much more from washington, d.c., including chances of getting through congress coming up at 6:30 this morning. all lanes of the eastern span of the bay bridge are back open this morning after a small fire shut down two lanes last night. this photo shows the flames burning through a grate at an expansion joint. investigators believe a cigarette may have started that flare-up. in san francisco, crews worked through the night to restripe lanes on the brand-new presidio parkway. a curb in the lanes to the approach to the second tunnel was catching drivers off guard yesterday. caltrans says it fixed the issue but reminds drivers to keep to the 35-mile-an-hour speed limit. a live look at palo alto this morning. where ongoing overnight road

work on 101 will cause you some delays if you're headed through the peninsula. we'll take a look at your full commute in a few minutes with mike inouye. >> from harvard educated lawyer to accused kidnapper. matthew muller behind bars for various crimes, including a bizarre abduction officially described as a hoax. stephanie, his arrest stems from a separate crime, a home invasion in dublin. >> reporter: that's right, sam. and now investigators are trying to figure out if matthew muller is connected to other bay area crimes, including two home invasion robberies in mountain view and palo alto back in 2009. the 38-year-old sacramento area man is a harvard graduate and farm farmer former marine who practiced immigration law in san francisco until 2012. dublin police arrested him for a june 5th home invasion and robbery. they say he left behind an important clue, a cell phone and led investigators to his car.

in the car, they found items linking muller to the vallejo abduction. swim goggles with blonde hair, zip ties and a cell phone with pictures the kidnappers sent in e-mails. the attorneys for denise huskins and aaron quinn, the victims of the march break-in and abduction in vallejo are demanding police here own their mistake. >> he said it was a hoax and she owed an apology to the public. well today, the vallejo police department owes an apology to ms. huskins and mr. quinn. >> reporter: huskins and quinn appeared emotional yesterday by their attorneys. they reported kidnappers broke into their home, kidnapped huskins, drugged quinn and demanded 8.500 in ransom. vallejo police said the two made the whole thing up. so far, vallejo police referred all questions to the fbi, have not made any comments about what they said in calling that abduction a hoax. live in vallejo, stephanie

chuang, "today in the bay." 6:03. more details now, not just vallejo and dublin. the feds say muller might be linked to unsolved crimes in the peninsula. they say he was connected to a burglary case in palo alto in 2009. a young woman was bound and blindfolded in her home, however, 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. more now to his background. muller has practiced law in california since 2011. but in january, it was recommended he would be disbarred. a hearing is set for next week. his pending disbarment stemmed from a dispute over some legal fees in an immigration case. go now to nbcbayarea.com to read the full 56-page affidavit detailing all of the evidence in this case. just click on the top story box. you can also find the latest updates in the case by downloading our free nbc bay area app. at 6:04, happening today, raising concerns over safety.

some of the strictest regulations in the state will be up for debate in berkeley tonight in response to last month's deadly balcony collapse. kris sanchez joins us with some of the proposed regulation legislations. >> so many people calling for change, laura, since the balcony fell and tonight the berkeley city council will talk about changes that would affect not only new construction but also the balconies on existing buildings, as well, through changes in the building code and the inspection process as well. let's start with the physical changes first. we saw in the video following that june 16th balcony collapse the beams supporting the balcony were made of wood, and the investigation revealed there was severe dry rot. you can see it crumbling away. the berkeley city council is proposing that going forward, they be built with something more durable. the council is also calling for better design standards to protect the integrity of the construction from exposure to weather. one councilman says he will also push for more frequent inspections every three years instead of every five, and there is a call for baseline

inspections, as well, with all balconies getting a look over within the next six months. also today, the state assembly is set for a critical vote on a bill that would force construction companies to disclose any of their past problems. under that bill, california senators from berkeley and san mateo want construction companies to have to disclose to regulators any legal settlements in cases involving construction defects, negligence or fraud. now those changes may be little comfort for the families of the six people killed and the seven people hurt in the collapse but many berkeley residents have asked the council to do something to prevent a similar tragedy from ever happening again, and certainly the state assembly is listening, as well. sam? >> we'll see what they end up doing. thank you, kris. 6:06. a crash that brought tears and so many questions. now the ntsb set to release its findings today in last year's deadly crash involving a fedex truck and a bus north of sacramento. ten people died in the crash, five high school students from southern california getting

ready to tour humboldt state. federal investigators are expected to reveal the probable cause of the accident. chp and state investigators faulted the fedex driver, but could not answer why his truck veered across the median. a developing story in mexico and the manhunt continues for mexican king pin el chapo, who escaped from his maximum security jail cell in mexico. dea agents say they warned the prison over a year ago that drug lord joaquin guzman was planning to escape. locals even spotted dump trucks hauling away rubble from a house in a farm field near the prison. he may be getting help from the outside, because too many in mexico say that he is seen as a folk hero. >> he's one of the all-time narco figures who would shower people with gifts, kind of a santa claus, robin hood role. >> on saturday, investigators say guzman escaped through a

hole in his cell shower into a mile-long underground tunnel that led right to that house. this is el chapo's second prison escape. back at home now, californians with brown lawns now officially have the law on their side. yesterday governor brown signed a law making it illegal for cities and county to say fine people for dead or dying lawns. while the state is in the midst of a drought. a number of cities fined or warned people who let their lawns die. governor brown has required cities to cut water use by 25%. time to check the microclimate forecast this morning. let's take a peek outside at a foggy san francisco this morning. sound the fog horns out there. >> hard to see much of anything. hopefully it clears off soon. we check in with meteorologist kari hall. >> think about yesterday morning when it was completely clear when we woke up and headed out the door. now we have these low clouds all across the bay. one more mild day before those temperatures start to ramp up. we've been talking about that.

keep in mind, the heat peeks on thursday, in the meantime nice and comfortable. in the upper 50s to lower 60s as you get the day started and highs reaching 74 degrees in the east bay peninsula. 84 in the south bay while the east bay makes it up to 74 degrees. and the heat will continue to build as we go into tomorrow, as well as thursday, as high pressure starts to move in. i'll detail just how warm it gets as we go into the next ten minutes in the next microclimate forecast. right now i'll send it to mike with an update on traffic. >> our camera turned toward the bay bridge and this span. i haven't seen any additional slowing. in fact, tail lights getting tough with the lighting but moving very smoothly toward treasure island. the map shows you the area. i was concerned with the slow down toward treasure island, standard there. the earlier crash, no details, no lane information, no lanes reported blocked. still tracking that anyway, because the bay bridge is sensitive. a slower drive, 680 and 880

southbound. the tri valley, the east bay and the rest of your bay northbound routes through san jose and the rest of silicon valley starts to build. we look at the palo alto camera. laura told you about what was going on there. just at the top of your screen between university and embarcade embarcadero. a lot of dust for the next couple nights and the frontage road. you see the home depot sign? between the freeway and home depot, there is a road called east bay shore road, so that will be an issue for folks who use that as an escape route and not a good one. >> good to know. the home depot is your northstar there. thank you very much, mike. 6:10. up next, more exploding air bags and it has nothing to do with takata. the new recall, just announced this morning. and reaching new horizons. a nasa spacecraft goes where none other has been before. pluto with a mission far from over. more trouble for reddit, as well. we'll walk you through the drama coming up in business and tech. and maybe you would like to walk or run across the golden

gate bridge. at least these commuters traveling quickly across. another car manufacturer is

under investigation new this morning, another car manufacturer is under investigation for exploding air bags. the national highway traffic safety administration says arc automotive incorporated made air bag inflaters that could potentially malfunction. investigation covers hundreds of thousands of chrysler and kia vehicles. it comes after massive fallout with japanese air bag maker takata. they recalled 38 million inflaters in the u.s. for a similar problem. >> all those problems at reddit have blown up. >> scott mcgrew, new accusations against the company this morning and another resignation. >> yeah, good morning to you. reddit has hit that crisis point all crisis managers dread, sam and laura, where it's really not in control of its own narrative.

one of the former ceos, the ceo before ellen powell, is accusing one of the founders of the company of staying silent when he should have spoken up. wong says it was founder alexis ohannian who fired a popular reddit employee. the dismissal led to a user uprising at reddit. it also led to the resignation of reddit's controversial interim ceo, ellen powell on friday. wong says powell was not the one who fired taylor, it was ohannia. we have no independent way of verifying any of this. what you've got is an ex ceo accusing a founder of sabotaging another ex ceo. could it get worse? yes, it could. our sister news agency, reporting this morning reddit's top engineer, beth ann blount has resigned. she had only been at the company

a couple months. in an interview she says she did not quit because of the powell controversy but lost confidence in the direction of the company. other news, the "wall street journal" says google will slow its hiring process. google reports profits thursday. the journal says google hired a little more than 1,800 employees last quarter, compared to 2,400 in the same quarter last year. starbucks has announced it will work to hire young people with barriers. 16 other companies are joining in this effort, including alaska airlines, taco bell and jcpenney. the idea is to find jobs for unemployed young people who are not in school, particularly minority children. we talk about an unemployment rate, about 5%. but that's everybody, sam and laura. people with a college degree with an unemployment rate around 2.5%. people without a high school degree have an unemployment rate more than 8%. >> wow. pays to go to school. >> it does. >> the employment gap. thank you very much, scott. 6:15. happening now, a view of pluto

like we have never seen before. it's taken nearly ten years, but right now nasa spacecraft is flying ever so close to the dwarf planet. once known as the planet, taking pictures along the way. >> get to know our imagery still works out there, billions of miles away. "today in the bay's" rob redell is live this morning. that spacecraft was closest 90 minutes ago. now we've got to wait for four hours to see what the actual images have? >> it could be several hours. sometime today, though. yes, sam and laura. within the past hour and a half, mankind sent a spacecraft within spinning distance, cosmically speaking, to the outer-most planet in our solar system. hence you had this scene at the new horizons missions control earlier while you were sleeping. you can see a room full of scientists counting down as the new horizons spacecraft came the closest it would ever get to the planet, the dwarf planet of pluto. cheers erupted in the crowd.

scientists from nasa ames here in mountain view involved in this very historic mission. that was a critical moment in the mission. that's when the spacecraft was just 7,800 miles away from pluto, the closest it will ever get, traveling at 30,000 miles an hour, and 30 minutes to take pictures of the surface and its largest moon. also chemical readings before speeding past. new horizons left earth nine years ago on a journey that has taken it 3 billion miles plus. on thursday, sent back these images of pluto. it shows a planet unexpectedly peach in color and you also notice there are 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 we're wondering are those craters or something else. we saw a circular feature on neptune's moon triton that are not craters. >> reporter: as i log on to the new horizons website, it says

the countdown to the new horizon phone home, i'm assuming that's when we're going to see these new images they took 90 minutes ago, 11 hours 35 minutes from now. there will be a public ceremony, a commemoration, if you will, a party here at nasa ames starting around 2:00. the public is invited. and i'm presuming that that is timing to this phone home moment when they'll see the new images. reporting live in mountain view, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> very cool. a long, long way. >> yeah, it's hard to believe. thank you very much, bob, it's taken this long, finally we're getting images of the dwarf  planet, pluto. this is an image you don't have to wait to see of the sunol hills as we start off your tuesday morning. we could use a little bit of rain. i wonder if that satellite imagery will send back any precipitation. unlikely. we could use it. >> we could. and you know, we get the fog in the morning, at least we're seeing that now. but yesterday morning such a different picture. that shows you that our weather is changing, and we're getting ready for a warmup in the next

couple of days. as we get a live look right now over san jose, you can see those low clouds and a little bit of sun in the horizon as the sun comes up this morning. we will get some sunshine this afternoon. but as you take a look at the seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen, yeah, temperatures going up the next couple days, and it will definitely feel like summer outside. a live look now at mt. tam, low clouds in the north bay. and after the morning low clouds, sunny and breezy this afternoon. here are your lunch time temperatures, a great day to take that lunch outside with some more comfortable weather across the bay in the 60s and 70s. and then rising into the mid 80s for the south bay for the afternoon high and the tri valley reaching 8 degrees. 86 in the north bay. san francisco today tops out at 70 degrees. so we're checking out the tropics. here's where some rain is actually happening. and it's out there over the western coast of mexico. into the next couple days, this

is expected to continue to strengthen, hurricane dolores will be moving off towards the west. but then what will happen after this, the storm will weaken and some of that moisture will be coming into parts of the western united states. but unfortunately, i don't think we'll see much of that rain. because we do have high pressure moving in, that will cause the heat to build over the next couple days. and some of that desert southwest heat creeping into parts of the tri valley. but then the heat backing off in time for the weekend. so the temperature trend, especially for the tri valley, will be going up with highs in the mid 90s on thursday, and coming back down in time for the weekend. quickly, your weekend forecast. it will still be warm, but not as warm as we will see on thursday. let's get a look at traffic now with mike. >> all right, kari. we're looking at san jose where there is that build just really kicking in now. this is the start for the morning commute proper here through san jose. look at your map. silicon valley in general showing a good volume shifting from green to yellow. that's a subtle shift in speeds

below 60 but it's on for the northbound route throughout this area. and, in fact, all around the bay we're seeing a good volume, people getting an earlier start than we typically see this time of year. we have a crash west 580, hacienda, slowing. we'll track that. it happened a few minutes ago. the bay bridge metering lights on. and we look toward the north bay, as well, southbound 101, just in the last few minutes as kari made her report, we saw the sun come out and folks hit the road. apparently they waited for kari's report and then leave during my report. i don't know. a lot more ahead on "today in the bay". a teenage girl survives a plane crash and hikes 24 hours through the woods to find help. more on her amazing story of survival, next.

in san francisco federal court, alleging that major league baseball has not done enough to protect its fans. gail payne from alameda county says the current netting behind home plate at ballparks is not enough. she wants the nets to cover fans in the infield from foul pole to foul pole. the lawsuit claims that nearly 18,000 people are injured every year at baseball stadiums. >> the league is uniquely situated to know the number of injuries and how frequent they are where the average fan isn't and armed with that knowledge, they know they have a problem that fans don't appreciate. and they can easily fix it. >> the commissioner's office told the associated press the league is in the process right now of reevaluating all of its issues relating to fan safety, comfort and expectations. 55 years in the making. harper lee's long-awaited followup to her smash hit "to kill a mockingbird" lands in bookstores today. "go set a watchman" actually went on sale online at midnight. it's essentially a sequel, set two decades following "to kill a

and we do have a nice little breeze going on today, because low pressure is just to the east of us. we have high and low pressure close together, makes that air move fairly quickly. but as that high moves off to the east the next couple days, it knocks back the onshore flow. it won't be as strong, and it allows that heat that's across the desert to creep into the central valley, even into the tri valley as we go into tomorrow, as well as thursday. but then we'll have a little bit of ak,ú change in the pattern. and that causes temperatures to come back down just in time for the weekend. but the hottest day will be on thursday with highs in the tri valley reaching 94 degrees. as you make plans for the weekend, it is going to be a little bit better, and the best day, meaning the coolest day, will be on sunday, and we keep that sunshine. now let's go back to sam and laura for more news. >> thank you very much, kari. we transition from weather to traffic news. heads up if you're hitting the roads. all lanes of the eastern span of the bay bridge are back open this morning after a small fire shut down two lanes late last

going forward, those be built with something more durable. the council is also calling for better design and standards to protect the integrity of construction from exposure to weather, as well. one council man says he will also push for more frequent inspections every three years instead of every five. and there is a call for baseline inspections, as well, for all balconies within the next six months. those seven new ordinances would make berkeley standards stricter than state standards, and stricter than nearly any other city in the nation -- or rather the state, as well. also today, the state assembly is set for a critical vote on a bill that would force construction companies to disclose any of their past problems. under that bill, california senators from berkeley and san mateo want construction companies to have to disclose to regulators any legal settlements they have to pay in cases involving construction defects, negligence or fraud. while some might expect pushback from construction companies, we can tell you that there are no formal oppositions to these

proposals. at least none recorded in the city's records so far. sam? >> something we'll be watching closely. thank you, kris. what questions will be answered that brought tremendous grief to the bay area. last year's deadly crash involving a fedex truck and a bus north of sacramento. ten people died in that crash, five high school students from southern california who were just going on a college tour. federal investigators are expected to reveal the probable cause. the chp and state investigators and also the fedex driver but couldn't answer the question why did the truck vera cross the median in new orleans. 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 reportedly stole a couple's car and led deputies on a chase. he's been on the run since saturday when he became a person of interest in the disappearance of his daughter, ember.
