b.a.r.t. system where there were delays. an earlier problem. a major problem it turns out as far as that hayward issue goes. that was in hayward and that affected folks both on the fremont and the richmond lines first. we had power restored to those tracks and now hear about limited train service for the dublin pleasanton line through castro valley. limited train service yet undefined fully by b.a.r.t. we are talking to them right now on the phones. that blue line now experiencing delays. so far oakland and anywhere north or west of there look all right as far as the schedule goes and we will track that. of course, right now traffic volume still holding up relatively light and the roadways are an option for you if you are traveling throughout the system. little slowing for hayward and the bay bridge metering lights are on. want to take you out towards dublin. 580 where it goes parallel to the freeway and picking up the volume. if you're looking for 580 as a driving option and a lot of company right now and even more might hit the road as they hear about delays for b.a.r.t. we'll tarack this and send it

back to you now. a quijust hours ago police involved in two separate incidents. a home invasion and a suspect chase that ended up shutting down a san za neighborhood. "today in the bay" stephanie chuang is live at sunnyvale police headquarters with the latest on these investigations. steph? >> goodern moin morning, sam. so busy, in fact, we can't get a hold of anyone inside to get an update. there have been arrests made and that both scenes are clear. the focus is on these two investigations. if you take a look at the map, you can see exactly where they both were. a police chase that went from sunnyvale through santa clara and ended in san jose. 13, 14 miles apart. the first investigation is the report of a home invasion robbery that happened at 220 north matilda avenue. that is just south of the central expressway. although it is unclear which apartment or which one was broken into. it was called around midnight

where a report that someone might have been shot. we know police did not make any arrests there. about an hour later after 1:00 this morning sunnyvale police tried to pull over a large, dark suv and the driver sped off instead of stopping. that kicked off the high-speed pursuit that went on to southbound 101 and the chp got involved at that point as did police in san jose and that is where the driver and two passengers exited either off 101 or 680 ditching their suv around kamerer and dover avenues. near rocketship academy andson middle school. three agenciess the chp, sunnyvale pd and san jose police all involved in this search around the neighborhood and along bab creek. they were able to first find two people. one male and one female. again, both scenes clear. no search going on. we're trying to get the latest information from sunnyvale police and, of course, we'll pass it along when we get it. live here in sunnyvale.

stephanie chuang. riot gear snatched from an east bay b.a.r.t. station. many people are concerned what the thief might do with it. bob redell live in our contra costa newsroom. it took place in concord, but do we know how it actually happened? >> it appears to have been something of an accident, at least as far as an employee leaving the door open and this was taken from a police storage locker, laura, located inside the parking garage at the concord b.a.r.t. station. they tell us an employee accidentally left one of the storage locker doors open and provide an opportunity for a thief to peek inside and grab about $1,000 worth of gear. the theft took place between 2:00 monday afternoon, 10:00 tuesday morning. police did provide us with a list of what was stolen. this list includes a riot helmet, gas mask and a b.a.r.t. police jacket with patches and uniform boots. this raises concern that this kind of equipment is now out there on the streets.

>> everyone around here should be aware. it is kind of alarming that, you know, stuff like this is happening. >> b.a.r.t. police have not yet released a description of what this suspect might look like. also not clear if he or she was captured by a surveillance camera. now, incidentally, b.a.r.t. has come under criticism for use of decoy surveillance cameras on a train but the transit agency will make sure all the cameras from now on are real and working. this comes after someone was shot and killed on one of their trains. reporting live here from the newsroom, bob redell, "today in the bay." happening later today, a san jose man accused of sexually assaulting and killing his girlfriend's 2-year-old son expected to be in court. police arresteduel lopez on tuesday. two weeks after the child died. investigators say it showed sign of abuse. disturbing new details in the case of a los ltos man

accused of killing his co-worker. steve hlebo made his first court appearance. they believe he killed his co-worker kyle myrick last friday near the motorcycle shop where they both worked. according to the just released police report. police found the victim's severed ear at the scene along with a lot of blood. report also says hlebo admitted getting into a fight with the victim and even told a family member he killed myrick and disposed of the body in the ocean. myrick's body has not yet been found. >> i'd still like to hold a little bit of hope that we could find him, but the likelihood of that is very slim to none. >> and the family is looking for volunteers to help them in the search for myrick's body. they have been meeting every morning at 8:00 in the morning and searching until after dark. it is 6:08. a tourist robbed in the middle of the day at one of the most famous lookout points in san francisco and millions of people descend for super bowl l.

police say the victim was taking in the breathtaking views of the city when she was attacked. >> walked down the hill and she met by two suspects who approached her. maced her. and proceeded to rob her. >> this is not the first incident to happen there. police say robberies are becoming a big issue in that issue. now they're putting officers in undercover units to try to combat the crime problem. 6:07. super bowl city opening in koppel of days and extra security measures are already in place in san francisco. metal detectors, fences and lots of police are going to be manning security checkpoints. and by saturday, bags are going to be stricted to just 18 by 18 inches. san francisco police chief says that there is one more safe guard he wants, but might not get. a no-fly zone. >> it's not my call. if it it was my call, we'd have restricted air space right now. >> the faa says san francisco's emergency operation center has

plans for 40 different emergency scenarios. authorities will also monitor social media and coordinate federal, state and local first responders and that includes the national guard. now, in the south bay, at noon today, san jose police will outline their plan on how to keep big crowds safe during super bowl and show how the police can deit tect bombs at local airports. traffic gridlock soon make its way to the south bay, as well. people who live and work near levi stadium are preparing for inconveniences in the coming days. starting sunday near the super bowl venue will be closed for more than a week. some rest raupts in the area and it will steer business away while others are stocking up. but everyone is preparing for what they're going to call a traffic nightmare. some people who live in the area say they plan to leave town for that big event.

the countdown is going on. now just ten days until super bowl l. >> which countdown are you talking about? the super bowl or the weekend. for those keeping track at home is about a day and three quarters away. >> we're counting down to some rain, too, as we get ready for that weekend. it is cool as you step out the door this morning and napa is 42 degrees and 45 in oakland and san francisco at 51 degrees. but it will be nice and warm this afternoon with highs reaching into the low to mid-60s and even a couple spots hitting 70 degrees like pacifica and the castro up to 64 degrees and 62 in napa where we start to see those showers moving in. it stays dry in oakland with a high of 68 and 67 today in danville. we'll talk about that rain as it moves into the north bay and spreads else where as we go into the day tomorrow. let's get an update on what is

happening now with the morning commute. >> we're watching the east bay roads because more heavily traveled right now as a result of problems we heard about for b.a.r.t. let me explain b.a.r.t. is recovering. i want to show you the bay bridge otoll plaza has the biggest backup and a fender bender and looks like everything is out of lanes and little build for hayward. we'll talk about the b.a.r.t. systems. earlier problems and stemming in the south hayward area. now, that all cleared up and that caused a ripple effect and couldn't get the longest trains out to the castro valley and now that they have gotten those back on service we're hearing normal service restored but minor delays there as well as through the fremont and richmond lines. the orange, the green and the blue lines might have minor delays. we're looking towards the rest of your maps. the speed sensors show a great flow of traffic around the bay and little tri-valley build. south bay a little build for north 101 and take a look at that live camera there. we see the volume of traffic is nothing unusual. another burst start to hit and

build then about 6:30. send it back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. coming up, 39 cents for a gallon of gas. that pipe dream a reality for some very lucky customers. >> or how about this. free money. silicon valley pioneer wants to give some away. we'll tell you how it would work coming up in "business and tech." fighting the dangerous zikaerous. the world health organization next move just announced this morning in the hopes of keeping the outbreak from becoming a pandemic.

at 6:13. new this morning the zika virus outbreak could become a pandemic. has been linked to birth defects and neurological problems is spreading explosively. there will be a meeting on monday todecide whether or not to declare a health emergency. the last time it declared an emergency was for the 2014 ebola outbreak in west africa. the largest retailer in the world, walmart, officially shutting down than 100 stores and that has a local impact, too. there's one store shutting down in san jose and one in oakland closed earlier in the month. the company made this announcement about two weeks ago saying it's now focusing on super centers and ecommerce. happening today california trying to fine tune its newly drafted rules of the road. current regulations are holding back the advancement of self-driving technology. they believe it is about time

consumers have access. today in sacramento, dmv leaders will hear from advocates and critics about the regulations california is now considering and the timeline on the roll out for driverless technology. the upside is certainly more convenient. automation like driverless cars is going to cost millions of jobs. >> scott mcgrew, jobs you wouldn't thing of. >> some jobs are obvious. taxi drivers and no more bus drivers or and road construction. automated cars need fewer lanes because they can move tightly together or automated cars generally don't crash. so, they don't need to have their broken bumpers or shattered headlights fixed because they never crashed in the first place. other news, investors are losing their mind this morning over facebook, which posted record profits. facebook brought in more than $5 billion in revenue. that's more than $65 million a day. facebook stock is already up 25%

this year and it's going to rocket today. in its conference call with reporters and analysts mark zuckerberg shared new news on these icons. instead of like, reaction. you'll start to see them in the next fews. really probably better to use this for someone's bad news than like. a silicon valley leader has proposed an idea where he'll give money to a family or families, no strings attached as part of an experiment. what would you need to do if you did not need to worry about your basic needs. food or rent. sam altman said 50 years from now i think it will be ridiculous that we use the fear of not being able to eat as a way to motivate people. sam thinks the future is going to be so advanced, americans will is a basic income. you don't see people spending money on star trek, for instance. why not try it now? he'll hire a social scientist to

supervise the experiment. we'll let you know how it goes and, no, sam and laura, i do not know how you become the people who get the money. but this is very real. he's talking about a significant number of families just getting a basic income. >> proportionate to how many children they have, let's say. >> proportionate to the bay area. we're talking about a fair amount of money here. >> this is the same year within the last year that a seattle ceo, remember, gave up his salary so that everyone could make a base of $75,000. >> i remember that. this would be even without having a job. what would you do if the basics were taken care of? >> be a stay at home wife. >> maybe so and raise great children. >> trying to do it anyway. 6:17 right now. how about this for a deal? can you imagine gas being 39 cents a gallon? well, for some texans it was the real deal for just a couple of hours. look at the line. folks in sun ray texas were able to fill up their tanks for just 39 cents a gallon. part of customer appreciation

day. and the price has not been that low since 1969. >> got to get in your delaurean and move back. >> it's 4:59. it's 5:00 and you're second in line now. oh, sorry. so sorry. >> you know what's depressing about that, we pay about that in taxes in california. forget about the total gas prices. >> oh, man. >> new day in age. the very similar weather pattern that we're looking at today that we saw yesterday and then everything does change. >> we have big changes in the way for the weekend. you want to stay tuned. as we take a live look now at the bay bridge. hey, earlier, i saw the lights were on. i guess they turned them back off. ooh, well. we go back into the next several days, we're getting ready for the rain to come back. check out that seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen. we look at some of the current temperatures. all our microclimates, it is cool. but as we get a closer look at the south bay, it is now 36 degrees now in gilroy.

it's 40 in willowglen and santa clara at 41 degrees. kind of cool starting out. we will being up quickly and livermore as we see a lot of sunshine all throughout the day and 62 deit grgrees at 1:00. low 60s and then the clouds move in tonight all because of this. we've been talking about the weather changing and that's the reason why. it it will be getting cooler and also have some rain moving in. the rain starts in the north bay later on this afternoon into the evening hours. we're already starting to see some of that moisture streaming in. we'll see the scattered showers up around santa rosa, san rafael and farther to the north and this is 10:00 tomorrow morning. still raining in the north bay and the rest of us have yet to it, but it does start to move to the south and scattered showers all throughout the day tomorrow. some wet weather to start out the weekend. and even into early saturday morning, a few lingering showers but it does taper off for saturday afternoon. with the rain falling for several hours in the north bay, look at how much rain they could have.

in santa rosa, over two inches of rain. in napa 1.5 and then look at how the rainfall totals drop off as you head from san francisco and farther to the south san jose while barely measuring anything. if you're going to the sierra this weekend, it's been very warm there and some of that snow has been melting. temperatures today in the upper 40s and then it gets cooler. the rain changes over to snow on saturday morning. and the snow will be coming down very heavily. a look at some snowfall totals we're expecting there. at least a as you go up the summit and then twin bridges, 19 inches south lake tahoe up to 15 inches of snow. and there could be some spots that will be a little bit higher. as we check out the weekend forecast, much cooler temperatures. no more of those upper 60s. we're going to struggle to make it it up to the mid-50s as we go into sunday with some scattered showers. let's check in now with mike to see how the roads are moving. >> kari, they're moving pretty

well. a little slowing for the east shore freeway right behind me. not a surprise from golden gate field and the berkeley curve and 580 starting to jam up off of 24. a disabled vehicle and a big rig reported right around the toll plaza but the latest toll plaza says they were able to get it out of lanes and distraction not a factor. a smooth drive across that span and kari talking about the bay bridge lights and testing them out overnight. saturday is when they kick on, once again, for that super bowl and everybody's pleasure after that. looking over towards super bowl city and nfl experience. they're doing construction still, so the closures around the embarcadero and the ferry plaza and also around marconi center. the rest of your bay looks great and slowing through concord through westbound highway 4. a crash on the shoulder out of pittsburgh. 88 slows through hayward and a slight build for the tri-valley. the south bay also shows a nice drivebound through san jose. we'll take the san mateo bridge. traffic building westbound and so far a little slowing on the

approach flat section. peninsula side is great. let's look at the peninsula. picks up the volume just a tad bit and no real slowing past university into san mateo. >> emphasis on little slowing. we hope to keep it that way. thank you very much, mike. coming up, construction isn't even under way yet for the warriors new arena in san francisco, but a major step forward.

well, happening today, what's in a name?

a lot when it it comes down to naming rights. for the golden state warriors it means big box. a few hours from now a major announcement that will make it it official what the team's name or the arena's name is going to be for the team's new venue in san francisco. the warriors struck a deal with jpmorgan chase deeming the new arena the chase center. it's unclear how much the bank paid for those naming rights but some analysts say they figure it could be more than $200 million. some fans say they're going to have to get used to the name change when the new arena opens. but they got a few years. that's in 2019. >> associatical with the crowd noise and everything and the build up of the warriors and so i and same ring coming into chase as coming into oracle arena. >> speaking of chase. that is jamie dinmon on the right. he was at last night's game at oracle arena where they won, again. sitting next to the warriors joe laka. the two will make an official

announcement later today as we mentioned and warriors mvp and league mvp steph curry is expected to be there. a bay area teenager is helping the fight against parkinson's disease. the 16-year-old created a ring that tracks the movements of parkinson's patients. the ring calculates data, which is then sent ta physician. >> it as an institute we think that is one of the key future technologies that we have to learn and integrate into our practice. >> it took the cupertino high school student two years and a lot of prototypes and taught himself coding languages from youtube videos. he became inspired after watching a video of famous fighter muhammed ali. >> i was quite interested on how what was going on with thiz motor symptoms because he had these tremors and making it really hard for him to light the olympic torch. >> ambitious teenager. he has raised more than $3,000 on a kick starter campaign so he

can deit zsign more rings. >> that is life changing wearable technology. an update to breaking news. a home invasion high-speed chase and suspect search, all of which is keeping a south bay police department on the move. what sunnyvale police are revealing about the overnight crimes just ahead in the live report. and putting out all the stops for the donald. what his wife and daughter have to do with the campaign to get donald trump to show up for the debate tonight.

good thursday morning. thank you for joining us. i'm sam brock. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. let's check that forecast right now with meteorologist kari hall. >> mostly clear skies and warming up again today. some of the bay area will start to get in on some showers. as we take a look at the north bay now, it's 44 it grees a s44 in the peninsula and highs reaching 46 degrees in the south bay. san francisco 64 degrees and the tri-valley up to 65. we start out with some fog there. some rain in the north bay later on today. we'll talk about all of that and a wet weekend for some of us coming up in a few minutes. let's see what's happening as we head out door with mike. >> no surprise but wae have the build around the bay. you know about the bay bridge toll plaza and the slowing for the hayward side of the san mateo bridge. we'll also show you san jose where the build starts for 101

and right here at 680 you see a good amount of slowing and the map will show you it's not that bad and your typicalern there and slowing for capital expressway and 85 now showing just of highway 17. also 880 south from hayward towards union city. 680 through pleasanton and slowing there. top of your screen, a car reported coming out of walnut creek and down diablo and tracking them through 680. back to you. >> thank you, mike. at 6:31. an update to breaking news. a busy morning for the normally eyet sunnyvale police department. just hours ago police involved in two sneptincidents. >> "today in the bay" stephanie chuafg live at sunnyvale police headquarters with the latest on several investigations. steph? >> sam and laura, police have noted these two investigations. the first, of course, home invasion robbery. someone break in to steal while people are home and the second the high-speed chase.

if you look at the maps spans through several cities first starting in sunnyvale and then through santa clara ending in san jose. we're talking about 13, 14 miles away. sunnyvale investigators are still looking for the person or people behind the reported home invasion robbery that was at 220 north matilda avenue. that is the wildwood manor apartment complex just south of the central expressway and not clear which apartment was broken into. it was called in around midnight with the report that someone may have been shot. now, after 1:00 this morning, so about an hour later, sunnyvale police tried to pull over a large and dark suv and instead of stopping, that driver sped off the beginning of the high-speed pursuit that went on to southbound 101. the chp got involved as san jose police because that's the city where the driver and two passengers ended up ditching that suv near rocketship academy and if you're familiar with the area. now, these three agencies the

chp, sunnyvale police focused their search along that creek. they were able to first find two people. one male and one female. the search there was clear as of a couple hours ago. now, i just spoke with captain craig anderson. he said he'll get here around 7:00 this morning and will have a better update for us around that time. >> thank you, steph. 6:33. moving on to decision 2016. the last republican debate before the iowa caucuses is tonight. but this morning, the focus is on the one candidate vowing to sit out. front-runner donald trump says he will not take part in the showdown on fox. "today in the bay" kris sanchezes us and trump is taking to the airwaves to defend his position on the very network he's boycotting. >> how is that for a boycott? donald trump said without him the fox debate viewership would plummet and maybe there's something to that because in an interview with fox news anchor bill o'reilly, he ball but beggd

him tashow up and a personal favor. >> i was not treated well by fox. they out with this ridiculous pr statement drawn up by a child and a taunt. >> forget. go forward. answer the questions. look out for the folks. just want you to consider it. you owe me milk shakes. >> pretty sure he can buy his own milk shakes but at a campaign event yesterday you can hear that song there in the distance. it's the adele song "rolling in the deep." being a no show certainly is a gamble, but it may pay off. 3,000 voters polled between sunday and tuesday in an nbc news/"wall street journal" marit poll. the same time this whole fox debate was playing out. trump gained seven percentage points enough to pull ahead of ted cruz even with the margin of error. here are the standings. trump at 32% and cruz 25 and

rubio 18 and ben carson down to 8%. now, back to tonight's can bait. there will be one fewer candidate on the stage because donald trump is holding steady, but fox news confirms there will be no empty podium. trump's position seems to be if you don't like the hand you are dealt, then you just leave the table. >> he doesn't want to answer questions for the men and women of iowa about how his record doesn't match what he's selling. >> interesting side show. greatest show on earth. this is not a show. this is serious. >> now, instead of attending the debate, trump will hold an event to benefit veterans at drake university. ted cruz invited trump to a one-on-one on saturday and even booked a venue and we have to see if he seen shows up. the debate is 6:00 our time and bill o'reilly is not the only one trying to persuade donald trump to show up. nbc news is report say the fox news ceo called donald trump's

wife and his daughter to try to get them to persuade him to show up. sam and laura. >> which is interesting because he's taunting them about ratings and maybe there's some truth to all of that. thank you very much, kris. 6:36 right now. happening later today, vice president joe biden's moon shot to cure cancer. no long arshot in the dark because president obama is signing a memorandum to create a white house task force on cancer. the president is going to appoint biden to lead that panel. include representatives from more than a dozen different federal agencies. the dprup groups will have the first meeting next monday. also happening today, many may not realize the problem exists, but senate lawmakers are concerned about migrant children being placed with convicted criminals. the recent ap investigation found at least 50 unaccompanied minors who fled from central america to the u.s. over the past three years wound up with

convicted criminals in private homes. there they were victims of abuse. one whistleblower claims thousands of u.s. sponsors also have criminal histories. a senate subcommittee will look at the problem and some of the weaknesses in federal child protection policies. well, a new system is in place for folks on the peninsula tired of all the noise coming from san carlos and half moon bay airports. san mateo county leaders say this new system will give residents more options when they decide to report a noise issue. right now people can only call a hotline or will only be able to call aline or go online to file a complaint. previously, people had to reach someone on the phone specifically just to file that complaint. 6:37. do you recognize these guys? san jose police recently released a video of four men who are wanted for stealing from a nike store last month. it happened that west gate mall just several days before christmas. police say they left in a bronze hyundai. they have not made any arrests. right now the clock is ticking.

verizon has until this afternoon to get rid of a large ad in downtown san francisco. that sign sitting on two sides of the 4 embarcadero high rise. the problem this type of ad is illegal under city rules and the city attorney wants it taken down. he sent a letter to verizon and thejure of the building that says if the sign does not come down by today at 5:00, the city will sue to have it removed immediately. the super bowl committee spokesperson says they're working to modify those banners. jackie spear is calling for emergency funding to protect at-risk areas along the shoreline. she got a first-hand look at the waves that are eating away at the cliffs and homes in pacifica. >> and el nino is just like aer storm sandy except it happens over a greater portion of time. >> the dangerous conditions forced 40 people to move out of their homes, which are literally dangling on the cliff's edge. the erosion continues, so,

too, does the conditions that are causing it. right now let's get a check of the weather forecast from meteorologist kari hall. good morning. >> good morning. an approaching storm system that will create high waves as we go into the weekend. right now we're still in thwith this dry weather for a little while longer. temperatures in san francisco ten deit grees cooler in the east bay and north bay now at 44 degrees. a closer look at the east bay. we even have some upper 30s. so, bundile up as you get the dy started and we'll take off those layers later on today. up to 65 degrees in gilroy and pacifica 70 degrees and ocean beach 61 degrees and 62 ina. oakland 6 8 degrees and pleasanton ohigh of 64 degrees. heading into the weekend it looks pretty wet at times and we'll talk about that timeline in less than ten minutes. >> things are calming down right now as far as the b.a.r.t. system reports go. back on time. minor delays possible for the fremont or the dublin pleasanton

line but no more power issues. over here southbound 101 picking up the schedule and not bad for a thursday and we'll look at your maps and we see the same stretch for the sensors. no problems south all the way down to the golden gate bridge. the richmond san rafael bridge shows a little building and the upper east shore freeway and has cleared from the report from the bay bridge toll plaza and no additional slowing. there is the walnut creek interchange and bay point your typical pattern over there. remember in san francisco, we have all that activity and the construction and the embarcadero closed in front of the ferry building and on the embarcadero from washington all the way to the scene and sixth street has been seeing more traffic over the last couple of days because that is south of all the activity and also battery down to first and we'll watch for that activity. so far looking okay between the financial district and the marina district. now, in the south bay, we see the biggest build and slow from capital expressway up towards the airport. 85 slows now as you're coming up towards highway 17 and then up

towards saratoga. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. 6:40. a teenager accused of plotting a terror attack an unusual and disturbing way he was going to carry out plan. dolores park back open this morning. some new addition. this one, in particular, sparking not only controversy but a bit of curiosity, as well. we could still take a look at a formally high-flying silicon valley company that is now in trouble. here's a live look at the big board on the nyse. dow industrials moving forward. back in a moment. ==sam/anim== new this morning:

=sam/cu= using a kangeroo as a tool of terror: so

all new this morning using a kangaroo. some bizarre accusations against an australian teenager already tied to a terror plot. melbourne police arrested this teen after investigators say they uncovered a plot that included beheading a police officer during world war one commemorations. that plot never materialized. now, prosecutors say the same teenager wanted to pack a kangaroo with explosives, paint it with an isis symbol and set it loose on police. that teenager has pleaded not guilty to all charges. 6:44 right now. super bowl l is getting very close. you know what that means. they say beaware of the tick itt scammers. just yesterday the nfl showed off for the first time what the super bowl ticket looks like. between now and kickoff, it'sed about 80% of all super bowl tickets will be sold and counterfeiters will take advantage. some will undoubtedly be stopped
