moving well. yesterday had many problems i understand. anthony dealt with that all morning and all day. road crews at the interchange not completely clear there. the rest of the bay moves smoothly including the north bay coming in in towards san francisco. that earthquake woke me up, guys. we begin with that breaking news. it was felt from the south bay to the north bay even by mike inouye and it was a light quake that hit early this morning. >> it was a 4.0 earthquake that stuck just before 3:00 in fremont. we've seen several a aftershocks since. today in the bay bob redell is live with direction. >> reporter: i didn't feel it at home in livermore but plenty of feemt felt it in fremont especially at the niles district and it was the epi is center. they said it lasted very briefly, maybe two to three seconds, enough to scare him for that short amount of time and

remind him of the danger that lurks on the hayward fault which is where the usgs believes this morning's tumbler was based. when you look at what happened this morning, you look on a sighs mow graph. it looks very dramatic, as it is in that respect, but when you look at it from a scientific and geological point of view it was a 4.0 that struck at 2:41 this morning. it's what seismologists consider to be a light earthquake. it was felt throughout the bay area, especially here in fremont. there have been several aftershocks since, you had the 4.0 at 2:41. there was a 2.7 about 15 minutes and then a 2.6 at 3:07 this morning. fremont police received many phone calls but no reports of any damage. chp has tweeted out had this photo, they tell us that the major free ways am in union city and fremont all check out. as mike was telling us that is normal in a situation like this,

"today in the bay" stephanie chuang joins us live in our san francisco newsroom with more this morning. >> reporter: a lot of it could really center on the sanctuary city policy which some lawmakers and politicians have been blaming for the release of that undocumented immigrant who is accused of shooting and killing 32-year-old catherine kate steinle on pier 14 with her father july 1st.

the pleasanton woman was walking with her father when she was killed. police arrested juan francisco lopez-sanchez within the hour after the shooting. he is a mexican national with seven felony convictions who had been deported five times. he was released from a san francisco county jail after the sheriff's department inn in order an immigration hold request, a move the department said would violate san francisco's sanctuary city policies. california lieutenant governor gavin newsom acknowledges there definitely needs to be some changes. >> i don't think it takes much to recognize that there's gaps here. >> reporter: it was republican iowa senator chuck grassley who requested this morning's hearing, he has invited the head of ice as well as the director of immigration services to speak after the steinle family addresses the senators. other victims' families are also set to speak at this morning's hearing which starts at 7:00 this morning our time and of course we will have coverage of this had here.

can get around that closure. the transbay tube will close on august 1st and 2nd so at that crews can make repairs to the track. six agencies, transit agencies, from both sides of the bay are teaming up to provide extra buses and ferry service during the shut down. bart has set up temporary trans bay terminal it at the corner of howard and beal streets in san francisco and buses will travel between that point and the 19th street bart station in oakland. a second closure is also planned. that one coming up on labor day weekend. the people demand transportation work around, they also are wall seeing today in san francisco, restaurant workers, that is, demanding higher pay. workers interest my noodles in sonoma county is going to lead a march through the city tonight at 5:30. employees of that restaurant have been locked in a battle with management over wages and it's part of a growing movement across the country demanding respect for restaurant workers and a $15 minimum wage. it is not just restaurant workers looking for a raise, home care workers are rallying

drones. two california lawmakers want emergency responders involved in firefighti firefighting, air ambulance or search and rescue operations to be able to force those drones out of the sky and not be liable for any damage. >> we need to put a stop to it. we're going to give them the ability to take out a drone if they are endangering people's lives. >> ideally faa would need to be able to dispatch an emergency signal for a specific gps location to where all drones would receive that information and ground themselves safely. >> drone advocates say that zapping a drone's circuitry or shooting it out of the sky could be dangerous because the drone might strike a firefighter or at any time bystander as it fall. they warn it may even start another fire. meteorologist kari hall doesn't need a drone to see it this forecast because it's right there on the radar. good morning. >> good morning. and we start out with some good news and bad news. the bad news is that we missed out on the only slight chance of rain we had in the forecast, the good news is that it will be a

(adlib)

my name is jamir dixon and i'm a locate and mark fieldman for pg&e. most people in the community recognize the blue trucks as pg&e. my truck is something new... it's an 811 truck. when you call 811, i come out to your house and i mark out our gas lines and our electric lines to make sure that you don't hit them when you're digging. 811 is a free service.

i'm passionate about it because every time i go on the street i think about my own kids. they're the reason that i want to protect our community and our environment, and if me driving a that truck means that somebody gets to go home safer, then i'll drive it every day of the week. together, we're building a better california.

a live look outside right now. downtown san francisco and the embarcadero. we all know that road gets a little backed up from time to time when there is things going on in the city, but if you thought your daily commute is bad, just be happy that you are not living in southern california. after this freeway bridge collapsed over the weekend the

morning commute for thousands of drivers is now three hours instead of one. the i-10 cloesure is in a rural area but impacts cities like phoenix and los angeles. crews say it could take months to get the bridge back in order and kris i even wonderer in southern california would you notice a difference if it were a three-hour compute on a given day? >> it's always a three-hour commute give or take 45 minutes. here is mike inouye. luckily for us it's not a three-hour commute. >> no, but we had some horrendous tri-valley commutes yesterday because of late road work. it went on all day with problems for 680. let's take this full to screen. 580 moves slowly so does 680 at that interchange. there's the dublin bart system, there are delays for that system there. the bart lines reporting 15 to 20 p minutes on average as they continue it to run trains a little slower system wide doing

a check of -- after that earthquake earlier this morning. no problems aside from that, minor delay reports. we are looking at the rest of the bay and smooth drive on your roads. how about this for a view that will just take your breath away. this is the first single picture of earth in more than 40 years. you might say i've seen it before, but you haven't. this is a satellite camera captured photo a million miles away. most of the earth pictures that we've seen are multiple images stitched together to one. the last single picture of the face of the earth in full was taken back in 1972. >> that view is out of this world. today the passionate debate over immigration and sanctuary laws puts san francisco in the spotlight in washington, d.c. lawmakers will hear from the father of kate steinle, the woman reportedly shot and killed

by an undocumented immigrant previously deported several times.

breaking news, people in the bay area shaken from their sleep overnight by a jolting earthquake. and fremont police this morning investigating a shooting involving its officers and a man with a knife. temperatures and humidity coming way down today. more on that and a look at the weekend coming up in the microclimate forecast. and i think we are going to have a better start than yesterday as far as those roads and the rails go. we're talking about some delays, though, right now for the bart system. >> announcer: from nbc bay area, this is "today in the bay." good morning and thanks for joining us. i'm kris sanchez in for laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm sam brock. we begin this morning with breaking news. maybe you woke up in the middle of the night, is that what i think it was? yes, it it was. an early morning quake rattled some nerves, even though it was light in magnitude, people felt it all over the bay area. >> i t
