a very popular building bridge this weekend because that transbay tube is closed for bart. for now i hand it back to you. it's a role reversal of starts in santa clara county. three correctional deputies are behind bars this morning accused in the death of a mentally ill inmate. that case is causing the community to band together. >> members of the community along with families of local inmates plan to meet outside santa clara county's main jail today. "today in the bay" kris sanchez joins us now. they are not just dee crying the crime they're dee crying the system. >> reporter: clearly that man's family is distraught with his death and the way in which he died. community activists say this is not an isolated incident of abuse within the jail system. the three correctional deputies are behind bars, not at the santa clara county jail where they worked and allegedly wheat this man to death. they were transferred for their own protection. sheriff laurie smith says the

three deputies were the only ones who en tired michael tyree's cell on the night at the died. they don't have the same training as peace officers but sharon smith would not answer our questions about that instead she stuck to a script and a teleprompter offering condolences and condemning the death she called cowardly. >> the disappoint and disgust that i feel cannot be overstated. >> reporter: according to the coroner michael tyree died of blunt force at the hands of another person. that is a beating so severe that he died of internal bleeding. now, the irony is that tyree wasn't even supposed to be in there. he had already served a five-day sentence and was in the jail he is protective care unit because it was supposed to be the safest place for him to wait for a bed in a mental health unit. the three correctional deputies are on unpaid leave, they have turned in their badges and the fbi is also investigate thg death. there will be that rally outside the santa clara county jail at

noon toochltd some of the community activists there will elaborate on the fact that they don't think this is an isolated incident. they will have family members of other inmates who will claim that they have also suffered inhumane treatment there in the jail. >> maybe review their protocol there. breaking news, the august job report released just moments ago. >> scott mcgrew, we were expecting the unemployment rate to drop slightly d that happen? >> it actually dropped more than we thought, 5.1% for the month of august. lower than we expected on the unemployment rate, but as he have known for better than ten years i always tell you ignore the big number, look at the little number. 173,000 jobs added in the month of august. that is far less than we were thinking. so that is bad news for the economy, but it's slightly good news for the stock market because, again, this is going to cause some trouble for the fed. this is not a number the fed raises interest rates on. so we will not see until later

this month what the fed is going to do, but this is more of a mystery in the mix. great news on the unemployment rate, 5.1%, that's a historic low, however that is correct 173 was not what we were looking for. >> looks like a little more wait and see, my friend. at 5:33. will it be murder or manslaughter? today a judge will likely decide if there's enough evidence to told juan francisco lopez-sanchez for trial on murder charges. he is the undocumented immigrant accused of july shooting of kate steinle on pier 14. her killing ignited a national debate over san francisco's status as a sanctuary city. lopez-sanchez is a five time deportee who kept returning to the u.s. an evening walk ends in tragedy for a 19-year-old with autism. the teen was reportedly walking along lake at that mess co with his sister when he lost his footing and fell into the water. his sister apparently tried to

living in concord no longer an option for a convicted rapist about to be released. frazier smith was going to move into a concord home but the property owner has now backed out. people living in that neighborhood rallied against smith's placement there. the 51-year-old who was convicted of sexual assaulting four women is up for release. smith has also been turned down at a rental property in fairfield. a family dog is recovering this morning after a bay area burglary with a particularly cruel twist. surveillance video of the break in last friday in fremont shows the glass from a shattered sliding door there went all over the patio, the burglars then purposely spread food on that class for its family's dog to eat. the animal sliced its tongue badly as it was swal slowing those sharp pieces of glass. >> we live in a society where burglars and things happen and i understand that. what i don't understand is treating an animal like that,

knowing animals will eat anything. >> the calling dog still under medical care but is expected to recover. the burglars left with jewelry and some cash. two suspects are wanted for burglaries and for animal cruelty. if you recognize anyone from that video call the fremont police department. >> definitely. 5:36. one of the north bay's holiday hot spots could be off limits this labor day weekend because of lethal algae. the press democrat reports a dog died moments after swimming in the russian river last weekend. the animal tested positive for a lethal toxin produced by blue green algae. warning signs went up last month. it's one of the busiest weekends for the river with thousands expected. the county has not officially closed the river to the public just yet. a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza where traffic is ticking along pretty nicely right now. laura mentioned we are going into a holiday weekend. it's not going to look like this for much longer. maybe you are among the millions

of americans who plan to hit the road this holiday weekend you will not be alone. >> holiday traffic could be a bit worse than unusual because the bart transbay tube is going to be shot down. >> chuck coppola joins us live from san francisco. there are also several construction projects that are also going on this weekend. >> reporter: yeah, a lot of people going to be working ironically on this labor day holiday, but we will see the bridges, for example, be a little busier than they were normally as was the case last time the transbay tube shut down. allow a lot of extra time for travel this weekend around the bay area especially if you are riding bart, 30 minutes extra bart is telling us because the transbay tube will be closed at midnight tonight through 4:00 a.m. tuesday. 19th street and oakland is where you will want to take off and take a bus across the bay bridge to the transbay terminal in san francisco. on the city side embarcadero station will be your last top, you will have to walk two blocks

to a bus to the 19th street. there is a big concert at at&t for billy joel. >> the east bay is sold out. it's important for me to know if you don't have a ticket you can rely on bart to get to the billy joel concert. it's going to drop you off at the transbay terminal, it's a 20 minute walk to at&t or hop on a muni bus. the last bus home is 1:00 a.m. >> reporter: speaking of going places on the water, extra ferry service will be available between the east bay and san francisco from oakland, alameda and vallejo, all of this to repair tracks near the west oakland station. live in san francisco, i'm can chuck coppola. high praise for the oakland police department. president obama's task force told the chronicle that police agencies across the u.s. should be following opd's example in

the post ferguson ear ra. the task force says oakland has found ways to repair and in some cases strengthen the relationship with the community. the department also received kudos from the president for changing its tactics helping them to avoid violent confrontations. all this comes in the wake of mass demonstrations against police brutality nationwide. more good news for oakland, juan of a kind deal is happening soon. today oakland officials will introduce merit colleges new law enforcement pre academy program. it's the only community college program of its type in northern california. it will reportedly prepare students for the police academy through hands-on training. more details will be released at an informational meeting later this morning. using technology to create drought resistant food. members from the department of agriculture will be in town to celebrate the amazing food i innovations happening at the bay area. they will be in albany where

they are uncovering food processing techniques to save water. they are developing an infrared-based method of tomato peeling that also saves water. we will take every drop we can get. >> no rain on the weekend, but some warm up on the way, right, kari? >>. we like to keep the cool temperatures but looks like that will be changing as we go into the next several days. take it in while it's here, the air condition sr off, we are at 55 degrees this morning in parts fortunate east bay. it will be up to 78 degrees in san jose, 77 degrees in palo alto, hayes valley 67 degrees and 77 in novato. napa 81 degrees, 72 eggs degrees in oakland. this weekend once again it will be getting hot. i will talk more about that coming newspaper less than ten minutes. let's see how the roads are moving with mike. we are taking live look out here. 580 through dublin looks crowded but as you look at the speed

sensors this is not bad, this is approaching tassajara and el charro. an easy drive. you do have a little build out of the ant month. a little build out of hayward as well. typical pattern. being a friday a lighter flow of traffic. same thing for the south bay with just a little build north 101 at 680. we should see more slowing for that first burst. a look further north, maps and speeds, concord no problems, walnut creek interchange, upper east shore all moving. let's look at the bay bridge toll plaza. we are starting to see a few more cars come through this shot and building up at the cash lanes. this is a friday and pre holiday weekend friday so we are seeing a lighter flow of traffic as we would expect. coming up, whose hand is it? the bizarre battle brewing over the bay area chicken caught crossing across the road. also pg&e has already been punished for the deadly san bruno pipeline blast but now it

looks like the company is actually getting a break.

it appears p-g-and-e is still on track for a big tax break in its record- setting penalty from the deadly san bruno pipeline it appears that pg&e is it still on track for a big tax break in its record setting penalty from the deadly san

bruno pipeline blast. they paid a $1.6 billion fine but the utility says it's entitled to a tax write off, as in $115 million. peninsula state senator jerry hill authorized a bill to prevent pg&e from claiming that money but the effort came up short in the state senate by two votes. caltrans owner two sheriff's deputies after they pulled a bhan out of a car seconds before a train slammed into it. you may remember this video of the rescue that happened last month showing the moment that the train plowed into the car. from another angle you can see one of the deputies pull the suspected drunk driver to safety moments before the crash. lance whitted and eric rupeld received certificates of recognition at the monthly board meeting yesterday. >> we didn't have any time to plan out and have a huddle and say, do you this, do you this, we will save the day. my partner's initial response
