where junipero serra was married. pushed over the statute of junipero serra in the courtyard and vandals scrolled on one headstone. some folks have criticized serra saying he was responsible for the mistreatment and they understand the bashlash but a reminder that no human is flawless. >> being made a saint doesn't mean the perfe person is perfec. we all have our flaws and our defects. so, it was with serra. >> and mission leaders say services will continue as usual. there should be no permanent damage to the mission. so far police do not have any suspects in the case, but may be investigating this as a hate crime. we'll have more on why coming up in our next report in about half an hour. live here in our san francisco news room, stephanie chuang.

debris. rocks in the roadway. be careful, they might have to have a traffic. back to you. >> thank you very much. for those drivers out there, good time to fill up. prices at the pump are down 9 cents the past five weeks, according to the lundberg survey. the national average is now $2.35 a gallon. some experts think the low prices can extend well into the next year and maybe into 2017. in san francisco, $2.67 a gallon for regular. slightly lower in oakland. people filling up in san jose getting the best deal so far at $2.48 a gallon. increased supply is one of the reasons for the drop. >> saving some money there. one politician trying to save face. carly fiorina clashes with chuck todd over what she said about planned parenthood. >> he announced his resignation and now john boehner seems to be embrace as new-found freedom. why he calls those within his

own party false. [female announcer] for thousands of local foster children,

again tomorrow. this is something john boehner is not going out quietly. he lashed out at members of the house on the far, far right talking about them pushing strategies or political strategies that had no chance of going anywhere while putting the government in financial crisis. now, he pointed to one event in 2013. the shut down of the government when the far right tried to repeal obamacare. he said the republican members were getting other members into a frenzy with goals they just couldn't accomplish. then causing problems for the nation along the way. now, the speaker says that the far, far right also wants the government to shut down this year to prove a point about defunding planned parenthood. it appears that a bill will pass this week by the deadline to fund the government until december 11th. the house majority leader from california will likely take over as speaker. the tea party just doesn't have the votes to elect one of its members to the post. now, boehner thinks that the tea party, though, will continue to

cause problems for the next speaker as their influence grows in the republican party and cause problems for the government as a whole. reporting live in washington, edward lawrence, now back to you. >> thank you so much, edward. to decision 2016. democratic presidential candidate hillary clinton. later she'll be in belvedere in marin county and in the evening off to the east bay for a reception. tomorrow she'll be at a breakfast in san francisco. tickets costing between $1,000 and $2,700 for each event. clinton last visited the bay area last month for fund-raisers in san francisco. the big political news over the weekend, refusing to back down. yesterday on "meet the press" republican presidential candidate carly fiorina clashing with host chuck todd over her comments about a planned parenthood video. fiorina described a gruesome scene from one of the controversial undercover videos involving planned parenthood.

fiorina claimed the footage showed keeping an aborted fetus alive to harvest its brain. here's some of that video. the fact checkers and even the maker of the video acknowledge that that claim is false. saying the video was stock footage that was used over the voices. but fiorina refused to acknowledge that fact. >> aborting fetuses alive to harvest their brains and other body parts. that's a fact. planned parenthood cannot and will not deny this because it is happening. it is happening in this nation and taxpayers are paying for it. >> fiorina did stop short of saying that republicans should force a government shutdown to defund planned parenthood. an organization which says it does not use public money to perform abortion. this certainly was not a good sign for superstitious supporters of carly fiorina. take a look the curtain behind her came tumbling down.

fiorina quickly picked up the mike and asked if everyone was okay. someone in the crowd yelled trump which fiorina replied, trump, hillary, could have been a lot of people. >> going to be an "sn" skit of this. another cell phone company jumping into the mobile payment industry. best buy thinks it has a way to get you to buy the new iphone. for that and the rest of your news before the bell we turn to landon dowdy live at cnbc world headquarters. >> hey, guys, i got to bring you the deals every day. good monday morning to you. stocks look to start the week on a down note. the nasdaq suffering its third worst week of the year as biotech and health care stocks drag down the index. spending and impending home sales. friday the dow rose 114 points to 16315. the nasdaq falling 48 to 4686.

going to be a great week. >> the weekend was always way too short. here we go as we start out the new week. at least we keep this nice weather we had over the weekend. so, no changes there. and even get few degrees cooler as we go into the next several days. a live look now at, at the sap center and starting out with thin clouds. it really blocked the view last night of the super moon. you probably had to go farther east before you really started to see the moon rising last night. well, as we get the week started, it is now at 50 degrees in the north bay and expect a high of 83 degrees this afternoon. san francisco topping out at 70 degree. east bay 76 and the tri-valley up to 89 degrees. it will be warm in some spots. we do have temperatures anywhere ranging from the upper 60s right along the immediate coast to some upper 80s inland. and not much of a wind as we go into the morning and early afternoon. we only see the wind speeds at

five miles per hour but it is coming onshore. cooler near the bay and then afternoon temperatures warming up nicely. so, in san francisco, as i take you hour by hour, morning clouds. 58 degrees and also some low visibility in some spots with fog rolling in. 70 degrees by 2:00. we'll hit that 70 degree mark just briefly and then come back down into the 60s and then eventually into the 50s as the clouds roll in. a look at the cloud cover across the bay. by 8:00, we see the clouds covering san francisco and moving into the inner bay and then it clears out, at least for the inland areas and then along the immediate coast, you do still see the clouds rolling in and hanging tough as we go into the afternoon. and then tonight, we'll have more of those clouds moving in. that's the way we'll start tomorrow. the next couple of days, we will have some cooler temperatures, thanks to the cloud cover. and also a stronger onshore flow. so, we will be coming down a few more degrees for tomorrow, as well as wednesday. as far as to go back up towards

the end of the week by friday expect a high of 86 degrees in san jose. and this weekend, we will have a warm start, at least for saturday, but sunday, it comes down a few more degrees. let's see how the commute is moving now with mike. >> kari, we're going to start where we had nine vehicles with flat tires over on the shoulder. sounds like they're still on the shoulder but no harm, but a little bit worried about the cars whizzing by and then on the northbound side, san antonio the off ramp there. reports of a stalled vehicle moving to the shoulder. a lot of activity right in that portion on the north end of mountain view. looking here on the east bay side of the san mateo bridge and heading up towards the toll plaza, the lanes widen. still have the big rig reported there on the right side. stay over to your left. still plenty of room to get by and a lighter flow just now. build over here. 280 shows some slowing and a quick look at the san mateo bridge and westbound heading to the peninsula, you're getting some company, guys. back to you. >> which is always good on a

monday. somebody to talk to in the lonely early hours. >> that's why we're here for each other. coming up, the investigative unit uncovers a troubling trend when it comes to children peag punished at school. lowering the legal drinking age could help reduce binge drinking at college. but even still the consequences might outweigh the ben fits. you might think childish

misbehavior at school would land a student in the

principal's offic you might think childish behavior at school should land a student at the principal's office. >> but in some cases schools are relying on police to discipline students and that could leave your son or daughter with a criminal record before they even hit puberty. >> a trend in the bay area where kids are being criminalized. the color of your child's skin or whether your child has a disability will make them more likely to get disciplined by a police officer while at school. >> for me, it was like the end of the world. because your child is your baby. >> tonight at 11:00, investigative reporter shares one mother's story of how her son's day at school ended with him having a criminal record at the age of 13. and hear why some worry that this could happen to your child, too. if you have a tip for the investigat investigators, give them a call at 1-888-996-tips.

there have been recent campaigns to lower the legal drinking age as a way to stop binge drinking. a new study suggests that lowering the drinking age might help college kids but also boost the dropout rate. researchers looked back at data from the 70s through the mid-80s when many states lowered the drinking age to 18. during that time, the high drop out rate rose by 13% or rose up by 13%. while there's no proof that the drinking age was the culprit here, experts say access to alcohol may impact kids who are already at risk of dropping out. if you get up at the crack of dawn to the roar of a neighbor's lawn mower or watch the guy next door blow leaves into your yard, you're not alone. new study find 63% of homeowners have experienced a breach of lawn etiquette by a neighbor. millennials are the most common offenders. 34% admit to blowing their leaves next door and just leaving them there. on the flipside, more young people also likely to lend a

hand and mow a neighbor's yard. >> get paid for it and get sh some local economy going. 5:25. coming up next, no accident. the historic carmel mission putting a good scrub down this morning after it was struck by vandals following the controversy canonization of juni junipero serra. while the india prime minister's visit delivered more than hope.
