>> active meaning there are cars out there. look at the bay bridge toll plaza and metering lights on and filled in all lanes off of the maze and the lanes moving and easy drive on thuproaches. we'll take you to san jose where we'll see the other slow traffic visible for our camera. 101 northbound up to 880. that stretch only. the rest of the silicon valley area is moving very well at the speed limit. we'll check on the san mateo, as well. on the peninsula side, westbound 92 coming off that high rise and a smooth drive and you can even see that flat section where visibility is better than it was. watch that north bay, as anthony said. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. 6::00 right now. new details and an all-clear for an air france flight out of sfo. right now flight 83 is back in the air making its way to paris after a bomb threat forced pilots to make an emergency landing in montreal canada late
6:01 am
last night. security teams searched the plane with all 231 passengers still onboard. they deemed there was no credible threat. just hours ago, air france released a statement apologizing for the de, but saying its soul priority is to ensure the safety of its passengers. now, the flight should arrive in paris just before 9:00 a.m. our time. a total ban on muslims entering the u.s. that's the proposal from donald trump that is sparking quite the backlash and even has some people comparing the presidential candidate to adolf hitler. kris sanchez joins us in studio this morning. trump is not backing down from his statement. he's respawning forcefully to criticism this morning. >> to ban all muslims from entering the u.s. in the last hour, donald trump said his policy is more like that of franklin roosevelt, who put japanese americans into internment camps during world war ii. donald trump spoke aboard the
6:02 am
"uss yorktown." based on his contention that a large number of muslims in the u.s. now believe in waging war against this country. now, earlier this month trump also called for surveillance on mosques and for muslims to have to register with the government. democrats are decrying that as unamerican and even republican candidates are distancing themselves. now, at a multi-faith ral held outside santa clara county office building in san jose last night, we talked with members of the bay area chapter of terror. the council on american islamic relations. they are getting phone calls people telling them to go home. the leader responded very frankly saying donald trump is playing right into the hands of those radical islamists. >> they have no respect for human life. so, we have to do something. worry about profiling. i promise i will defend you from profiling. >> his ideas are not just unconstitutional, they are
6:03 am
unamerican. this rhetoric echoes the policies enacted by nazi germany against the jews. have we learned anything from history, mr. trump? >> now, donald trump claims that 25% of muslims polled believe that violence against the u.s. is justified. that statistic from the center for security policy, which is a conservative think tank. but trump also cites pew research data which in 2011 found that 20% of u.s. muslims polled say they perceived support for extremism, however, 64% say they don't. however, 86% of the same muslims polled say suicide bombings are rarely or never justified and 48% say their own religious leaders have not done enough to decry islamic extremism. more than one legal analyst says that donald trump proposals would violate the constitution, including the first amendment religion causes and due process.
6:04 am
sam and laura. >> thank you very much, kris. 6:03 right now. meantime in southern california, hundreds of people lit candles on the campus of cal state san bernardino to honor the 14 people killed in last week's shooting. five of the victims went to that school. as that community continues to heal, investigators are revealing more about the husband and wife terror team responsible for the massacre. a new photo shows tashfeen malik arriving in the u.s. with farook by her side taken at the airport. both had been radicalized and had been for some time. they tracked theirments before the attack and he did targets at t before the shooting. >> thinking is it fire crackers and then the doors flew open and the gunmen came in. it seemed endless. it just never seemed to stop. it was constant gunfire.
6:05 am
>> had to be frightening. there were 70 people trapped inside that large open room. although there were exits. most of them couldn't escape the barra barrage. as a show of support here in the bay area, santa clara county employees will observe a moment of silence this morning. police investigating a suspicious death in newark. this happened last night at a home near mcloflin avenue. they found a woman unresponsive in that home. they were unable to revive her. at least one person was detained by newark police and the two children were removed from that house. the naacp is demanding changes within the san francisco police department. this following that dead lly police shooting caught on camera in the bay view last week. >> how many more people need to be shot? >> but it's what you do. it's not what you do but how you
6:06 am
do it. >> tempers flared at the standal room only meeting last night this coming after five san francisco police officers shot a man more than a dozen times, killing him after he refused to drop his knife. last night the naacp called on san francisco police to hire more african-american officers, increase their diversity training and start foot patrols in aneighborhoods. the policy is being reviewed, including what weapons officers use. >> we would like to have tasers, that will be part of the discussion that will be taken up when we ks our use of force policy. >> trying to operate differently. first we have toepe e open up t discussion and the whole bit pep do that starting wednesday night. >> the naacp will deliver a list of demands for the police commission at that meeting tomorrow. in the meantime, some san francisco officers are now carrying shields that could be used to fend off a knife attack. it is 6:06.
6:07 am
a potential strike in the east bay has moms and dads pulling their kids out of school this morning in support of teachers demanding a raise. "today in the bay" stephanie chuang live where day two of the protests are expected to happen this morning. >> in front of the unified school district office you see signs like your fight is our fight, teachers matter. should get noisy again here in a matter of a few hours. >> pay our teachers! >> there were just about 150 parents and teachers protesting yesterday. this is about forcing the district to lose attendance money and listen to teacher demands of a pay raise. the district is already in the red can only afford a 1.5% raise and now some parents are pulling their kids out of school because they're losing high-quality teachers and afford to any more. >> my whole point is to
6:08 am
hopefully make an impression to the school district that we do not want to go on strike. >> my message is pulling children out of school will not change our budget conditions. it will make it worse. >> and the district is losing tens of thousands of dollars and each student that misses school costs about 37 bucks a day for the district. yesterday four times the number of normal absences and that means more than $44,000 lost in a day. again, it's supposed to happen for day two morning starting at 10:00. live here in san lorenzo, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." also happening today a shelter crisis. that's what san jose city leaders could declare later tonight in an attempt to find housing for the growing homeless population. "today in the bay" bob redell joining us live from san jose this morning. a lot morant with the wet, cold winter ahead of us and we're talking about thousands of
6:09 am
people here. >> there's an estimated close to 4,000 people who are homeless here in santa clara county, sam. and with the cold weather on the way, we've already seen some of it just this past week. you might recall it was last tuesday night that a man froze to death underneath an overpass at first and market. just a few blocks away from san jose city hall we're at right now. tonight in the city council meeting, the city will consider declaring a shelter crisis and by doing that, they could then allow churches or other faith-based organizations to provide beds in a place for homeless people to sleep. that's something that's not normally legally permitted, but it's waived when there is a "crisis." the city council will consider opening up four warming centers and they could also approve up to $430,000 to help pay to house the homeless over the next three and a half months. that is usually around the time when we have our coldest temps. the city council is expected to
6:10 am
discuss another idea, though, that could be controversial. a temporary tent city for no more than 50 people. the mayor expressed his opposition to the "mercury newspaper" and questions whether a suitable site could be found and he also told the paper, just look at seattle and sacramento where he says similar tent cities have failed. so, he, of course, expressed his opposition to something coming up tonight during the regular city council meeting, deciding again whether or not to declare a shelter crisis. reporting live here in san jose city hall, bob redell "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. >> exactly we actually do have some rain coming our way later this week. anthony has been watching it for us. you say quite a bit. season and even the coastal mountains. three to five inches of rain in the nort bay. right now, no rain. just the fog and low clouds you can see from san jose behind me. looking at cloudy skies and san francisco, the golden gate
6:11 am
bridge and every now and then see sheets drizzle drift over the bridge and may need the windshield wipers or if you're headed into the north bay. overall get rid of the fog and drizzle by mid morning and this afternoon plenty of sunshine and 65 for san jose and pacifica few peeks of sun and hayward 62 and the tri-valley more sunshine there. mid-60s expected for you. the storm system that will bring us rain by mid-week. >> anthony, we're going to look over here and see that morning commute on the bay bridge. the span, the low clouds hovering right at the top of the deck and top of the towers and not that problem for visibility right now like we saw yesterday. but we will see that change as anthony just shows us sheets of moisture coming across that golden gate bridge. we're looking at the map and speed sensors across this span. the bay bridge at the backup toll plaza and the lights are on. a motorcycle down the rider is up.
6:12 am
and the orange right here, that's the road weather index some pretty dense fog here. i-80 from vallejo towards sacramento. that's your corridor for the worst visibility. slow for hayward and towards the castro valley and the dublin interchange and north 101 at san jose and palo alto, no problems. back to you. 6:12 right now. a critical vote that could determine the arena in san francisco, but now another group trying to block the plan. the warriors waterfront arena
6:13 am
6:14 am
6:15 am
project in san francisco looks to clear another hurdle today. =take vo= the board of supervisors will hear the public's concerns about the proposed arena this afternoon -- before voting to sign off on the recently- certified "environmental impact report." meanwhile -- "the mission bay alliance" -- a group made up of u-c-s-f supporters and healthcare workers are threatining to block the plan -- the group made up of ucsf spoertders are blocking that plan by filing a lawsuit. air bnb fought off mreasure f. >> now fresh funds for the next fight. >> raised $1.5 billion in private investment. in a new filing just sent to the securities and exchange commission. so, this is a big investment
6:16 am
even by silicon valley standards. if you do the fussy unicorn-type math. it gives airbnb a value of $25 billion or the second largest tech company behind uber. a study conducted by uber said uber drivers like uber. probably not a surprise. but the same survey said a number of drivers has more than doubled in just the past year. that's amazing. 400,000 people now drive for uber, at least a few hours a week. a third of the brand-new uber drivers who started in just the past three months are women. ibm a bit red faced this morning over hair driers. urging women and girls to try out by hacking their hair dryers. >> hack a hair dryer. you, a wind blaster and an idea.
6:17 am
repurposed for a larger purpose. to support those who believe it's not what covered your cranium that counts, but what's in it that counts. >> women pushed back saying it was sexist. we want to point out ibm one of the blue chip companies run by a women. but ibm said it missed the mark. several women tweeted they were too busy designing rockets or curing cancer to hack their hair dryer. an effort but it fell flat. >> as long as we're not blowing things oo s out of proportion. >> he's here all day, everybody. much of the city of beijing. boy, look at this. they came to a screeching halt today after the first ever red alert for smog was issued. schools, factories closed while half the vehicles were ordered off the roads. the alert is the most serious in a four-tier system adopted back in 2013. actually last through thursday.
6:18 am
severe smog is in the forecast for the next several days. some whacky weather back in the u.s. from bad to worse. look at that. more heavy rain expect eed soak most of the northwest today. that's in portland causing much of this severe flooding. sinkholes, landslides, evacuation. yesterday in that city, portland the wettest day in recorded history. roads turn under to creeks and the rain caused a city's sewer system to overflow into the river. a flood watch is in effect for much of the area through thursday, but the rain likely will not stop until some time this weekend. here in the bay area, never turn your back on the ocean. dangerous waves nearing 20 feet will pound most of the coastline through today. not only the big waves, anyone at bay area beaches should be on alert for sneaker waves, as wealth. the biggest obstacle in navigating the roads this morning is the fog. we'll get to that in a second. just maybe we think --
6:19 am
>> unless you find a car on the road. >> but first we do have some rain of our own. you were saying maybe up to an inch or two in the valley. >> an inch the time we get into thursday night and friday. thursday is the day to watch for the heavy rain and we'll see rainfall accumulate even by this weekend another storm system will move in and give us another half inch at the valley floor. over all, show you the rain totals. might knock your socks off. i'm like sam, i'm here all morning. look at temperatures this morning. we're in the 50s through the bay area this morning because we have the low clouds that act as a blanket overnight. as we head through the day, some sunshine. originally cloudy and see the same deal for today. 64. a few peeks of sun for san francisco and more sunshine as you head farther south into the south bay and 55 degreesects pe expected there. you'll notice showers across parts of the north bay and that's where they're going to stay for wednesday. move the futurecast into motion.
6:20 am
another band of heavy rain moves in and is where we'll find most of our rain accumulate. by 9:00 pushes into the south bay and widespread rain expected for that monday morning commute. mike, maybe you want to take the day off as we head over towards wednesday and thursday night another band of heavy rain move in thursday night into friday morning. a few thunderstorms and as we head into the weekend, another storm system set to arrive. the first round of rain for thursday. this is how much rain we're expecting. half an inch at the valley floor and you head over towards san francisco, one inch and up towards the north bay, one to three inches even for napa, santa rosa and the coastal mountains could see up to three to five inches of rain. winter storm watches posted for the sierra and expecting two to three feet of snow as we head thursday into friday. even at lake level two to three feet of snow. little dicy if you're traveling that way.
6:21 am
some bright afternoons as we head towards the next couple days but wednesday night into thursday. friday, saturday, those are dry days and sunday another storm system moves in and this is what i was talking about and this is what we're looking at as far as overall totals as we head through this whole week and into the valley floor. look at that, easy picking up close to five inches of rain. so, weal track this. mike, what are you tracking on those roads? >> first of all, if you tell me to take thursday off, anthony, someone has to fill in for me. the man who can do it, will anthony. no, i'll be here and we're looking over towards the freeway where this is here, as well. your morning commute light right now not like yesterday. we'll look at your maps and show you the bay bridge toll plaza and slowing off of 580 and 24. the bigger issue more than the fog is this concern with a crash south 680 and main street. still in lanes approaching 24. keeping the 24 interchange clear. same thing for 24 into arinda. we move your map down and see a nice, easy build for south 680
6:22 am
and 880 both coming down where they funnel together in fremont and, in fact, a lighter pattern than a typical tuesday. northbound route for 101 and 85. start to pick up a volume just a tad bit. later in the day when we see more traffic across town. southbound 101 moves well. a little glow to the lights as they come over the hill and the reminder fog santa rosa and watch fairfield and vallejo over to and from sacramento along 80. back to you. 6:22. coming up a common cancer treatment could be putting men at risk, a grart risk of developing alzheimer's.
6:23 am
6:24 am
6:25 am
as early as today -- marin may get the green light for some new medical marijuana dispensarie as early as today, marin may get the green light for new medmarijuana dispensaries. mari supervisors approved the plan to allow four dispensaries to open in unincorporated parts of the county. two of the four dispensaries will be located in central marin. all located in commercial zoning districts. board members are expected to adopt that ordinance later today, but there's no timeline yet on when the dispensaries might open. a new stanford study shows a
6:26 am
common treatment for prostate cancer using the therapy for decades to fight cancer but researchers discovered men taking the hormones for longer than a year doubled their chances of being diagnosed with alzheimer's. researchers say the study does not prove the treatment causes alzheimer's and the findings are strong enough to prompt oncologists to do more testing. he looks like an officer, but he's anything but. the story that this fake police officer gave safeway employees to try to get hiss hands on their cash. uranium is found in power plants and adam bombs and now showing up in your drinking water. details coming up.
6:27 am
6:28 am
we need to be ready for whatever weather may come our way. my name's scott strenfel and i'm a meteorologist at pg&e. we make sure that our crews as well as our customers are prepared to how weather may impact their energy. so every single day we're monitoring the weather, and when storm events arise our forecast get crews out ahead of the storm to minimize any outages.
6:29 am
during storm season we want our customers to be ready and stay safe. learn how you can be prepared at pge.com/beprepared. together, we're building a better california. cannon. a very good tuesday morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. let's get right to your microclimate forecast. anthony in for kari. >> pretty dense at napa and sant rosa and across the rest of the bay area, visibility down to a couple a miles. you can see from our sky cam you can make out the city down below and some of the cars mufing through the toll plaza there in the east bay. as we move through the day, we'll see some sunshine like we saw yesterday and a few peeks of sun at the coastline and that will warm us to the mid-60s a few degrees warmer than we were yesterday.
6:30 am
let's see how the roads are shaping up, mike. >> looking at your typical pattern, but more gentle build. a lighter flow of traffic around the bay right now. this is san jose and slowing north 101. good amount of cars here. look at your map, 101 where where we have the camera. little lighter and little bit later build throughout the rest of this year, i should say, throughout december. right on point for today. a nice, easy drive. the crash south 680 still slows folks down approaching 24. a lighter volume in towards walnut creek keeps things moving relatively smoothly and upper east shore a little slowing there. let's move your map and look at this, the green and the orange sensors. the green sensors are fine for the speeds and road weather index says low visibility. i-80 from vallejo to and from sacramento and get to santa rosa area, watch for visibility issues there, as well.
6:31 am
back to you. new details for an air france flight out of sfo. right now, flight 83 is back in the air making its way to paris after a bomb threat forced the pilots to make an emergency landing in montreal, canada, late last night. security teams searched the plane with all 231 passengers still onboard. they deemed there was no credible threat. just hours ago air france released a statement apologizing for the delay but saying its soul priority is to ensure the safety of its passengers. now, that flight should arrive in paris just before 9:00 a.m. our time. you probably heard when he said it yesterday, a total ban on muslims entering the u.s. that's the proposal from donald trump. which is sparking quite a bit of baglish, even has some people comparing the presidential candidate to adolf hitler. kris sanchez is here. kris, trump is responding forcefully to criticism. >> he is not like hitler. his policies towards muslims don't make him more like hitler
6:32 am
but more like franklin roosev t roosevelt. fdr was speaki fdr. now, overnight donald trump spoke onboard the "uss yorktown" calling for a complete and other shut down of muslims entering the u.s. based on his contentions that a large number of muslims in the u.s. now believe in waging war against this country. earlier this month, trump calls for surveillance on mosques and for muslims to register with the government. democrats are decrying all of this as unamerican and even republican candidates are distancing themselves. what you see here is a multi-faith rally held outside the santa clara county office building in san jose. in it it were members on the council of american islamic relations. they say they have gotten phone calls from people to go home and die. the leader of that council responded more frankly saying
6:33 am
donald trump is playing right into the hands of radical islamists. >> no respect for human life. we have to do something. don't worry about profiling. i promise i will defend you from proing. >> his ideas are not just unconstitutional they are unamerican. this rhetoric echoes the policies enacted by nazi germ against the jews. have we learned anything from history, trump? >> donald trump does cite several statistics, including one from the pew research center. in 2011, 20% of u.s. muslims polled said they perceived great or fair support but in that same support 64%, the great majority, said they received no or little support for extremism. suicide bombings are rarely or never justified. again, that pom from 2011. more than one legal analyst said donald trump's proposal will
6:34 am
violate and religious causes and the fifth amendment due process. sam and laura. >> thank you very much, kris. in southern california, hundreds of people lit candles on the campus of san bernardino to honor the 14 people killed in last week's shooting. five of the victims went to that school. as that community continues to heal,ers are revealing more about the husband and wife terror team responsible for the massacre. this new photo shows tashfeen malik arriving with farook by her side. both were radicalized and had been for some time. they found farook did target practice before the shooting rampage. as this investigation continues, more survivors are giving their first-hand accounts of the terror that happened inside the conference room. >> thinking fire crackers and then the doors flew open and the gunman came in.
6:35 am
it seemed endless. it just never seems to stop. it was constant gunfire. >> there were 70 people trapped inside the large, open room. although there were exits, most of them couldn't escape the barrage of bullets from semiautomatic weapons. now, as a show support here in the bay area, santa clara county employees will observe a moment of silence at 15 this morning. a man accused of stabbing his ex-girlfriend to death on thanksgiving weekend is scheduled to be in court. anthony kirincic was arrested for killing colleen straw inside their home. released from jail on a domestic violence charge for a previous attack on straw. he only served two months of a four-month sentence. the man is expected to enter a plea later today. to the white hous what do the white house and oakland police and stanford have in common?
6:36 am
a unique roundtable happening later today in stanford. looking at the challenges that opd faces. stanford technology experts will join them as part of today's roundtable panel and discussion. 6:36. police are looking for a bogus officer on the peninsula who may be trying to fool businesses into forking over their cash. surveillance video shows the man who only looks like he's a san mateo police officer wearing patches and a uniform that resemble the real thing. investigators say video from november 24th shows him walking the aisles at the crystal springs village safeway. the imposture told workers he was investigating a theft. when the imposture asked where the store kept its cash the clerk became concerned. >> that's when she panicked and said, i'll call the police. i think just the outfit threw her off. too baggy. >> the imposture left before deputies arrived. investigators are now trying to determine if the same man
6:37 am
successfully robbed a nearby safeway store the week before. listen up to this report. a scathing new one san francisco leaders for not doing enough to warn people about hidden dangers in their drinking water. the danger is uranium. the same material found in power plants and atomic bombs. more of it is showing up in tainted water wells across u.s. agriculture regions like the central valley. find that authorities in the central valley are doing little to warn or even to inform the public about those dangers. long-term exposure to uranium raises the risk to cancer. happening today, a shelter crisis. that's what san jose city leaders could declare tonight in an attempt to find housing for the growing homeless population. "today in the bay" bob redell li live. we have wet, cold weather ahead of us. >> el nino, please, being a possibility, laura. if el nino happens, we'll see
6:38 am
lots of rain, possibility of flooding and, ultimately, we have the cold temperatures we have been talking about this all morning long. we're not even in the winter yet, still in fall and last week was last tuesday night that a froze here out on the streets of jose at an overpass. just a few block away from city hall. city hall will be the site of the regular city council meeting and could declare a shelter crisis. if they do that, they could let churches or other faith-based organizations provide beds and a place for homeless people to sleep. that's something that is not normally legally permitted but could be waived if there is a crisis. the city council will consider opening up four warming centers and the council could approve up to $430,000 to help pay for the nearly 4,000 people who are homeless ina clara county. that money would help them get through this winter. we're talking about roughly through the end of march. the city council is expected to
6:39 am
discuss another idea that could be controversial. a temporary tent city for no more than 50 people. the mayor has already expressed his opposition to this idea and he questions whether a suitable site could be found and whether it could be made safe and also told the paper, look at seattle, sacramento or other cities which those tent cities but the tent cities failed in his eyes and an extra cost with money that the city council presumably do not have right now. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> trying to do some long-term planning there. short-term this week. anthony has that radar fired up for later in the week. >> yeah, fact, we'll look at rain across the entire bay area by wednesday and thursday. wednesday night into mostly thursday morning. the fog pretty sensible across tibron and fremont, though, not so bad. you can make out the cars down below and the city down below, as well. we want tacompare that. looking at the north bay and
6:40 am
napa looking at visibility down to a quarter of a mile and, again, head down to the east bay, south bay ask visibility much better. san jose ten miles and all the way, even livermore, nine miles. little bit less down in gilroy. so, your microclimate forecast during your tuesday does bring in some sunshine for san jose. same for sunnyvale up to 66 and more cloud cover at the coastline and at the peninsula, as well. san francisco up to 59 degrees today and across parts of the north bay, pet loma up to 60 today and east bay oakland at 63 and more sunshine expected for the tri-valley. mid-60s expectsed there. big storm system headed our way for wednesday and thursday and in the meantime toss things over to mike. >> although the traffic moves well, we see that there is a little bit of cloud cover touching in parts of the high rise there. that is a note, conditions are changing out there. the traffic flow westbound okay on the span. we'll look at your and getting there may be an issue out of hayward. west 92 out of hayward and a motorcycle crash reported.
6:41 am
motorcycle down and then back up and a driver as well as a car involved there over on the shoulder. as the that's the distraction. from hayward down into fremont. and light build through pleasanton. this is not bad, especially for a tuesday. lighter flow for december. smoother drive and areas north of here. that little blob north and anthony talked about napa and tough visibility there. the south bay your northbound routes just starting to build and typical pattern late for this commute. back to you. >> hopefully not sneak up on you. coming up next, just hours ago, an unexpected announcement from a south bay mayor. >> different politicians have different ideas about getting terror off the internet. we'll take a look coming up in "business and tech." a live look at the convention center in downtown san jose. "america's got talent" auditions get under way in less than 90 minutes. warm up the pipes. it's at 8:00 this morning. >> i see a duet in our future.
6:42 am
>> oh, yeah. >> we'll be right back. a judge this morning granted
6:43 am
6:44 am
olympic sprinter oscar pistorius bail -- despite his murder conviction. =vo= this means the double-amputee remains under house arrest. his bail is 10-thousand south african rand -- which is less than 700 u-s dollars. this comes after a court last week overturned his manslaughter conviction -- saying pistorius murdered his girlfriend. pistorius faces 15 years in prison whe he'' sentenced in april.

happy birthday. i just had a heart attack... and now i have a choice. for her. for them. and him. a choice to take brilinta. a prescription for people who've been hospitalized for a heart attack. i take brilinta with a baby aspirin ...no more than 100 mg. as it affects how well it works. it's such an important thing to do to help protect against another heart attack. brilinta worked better than plavix. and even reduced the chances of dying from another one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to doctor. since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers. a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery and all medicines you take. i will take brilinta today.
