crasd satd i new details right now on the passenger plane that crashed saturday in southern russia killing all 62 people onboard. this morning investigators announced that the black boxes are so badly damaged it could not immediately read any data. the boeing 737 had been circling the airport for about two hours when it crashed while attempting to land for a second time during severe weather.

you see it and hear it. police in hot pursuit of a stolen cement truck. behind the wheel, an 11-year-old boy. happened in southern minnesota not far from rochester and the cell phone video say the boy was laughing and smiling as he drove the struck through the streets. he stole the truck from a local contractor. luckily no one was hurt. the boy eventually taken to juvenile hall. >> quite a story to tell. 6:14 right now. this is praty ambitious plan by stanford. want to build new houses for thousands of students. >> kris sanchez live at stanford and along with helping out students they hope this will create more inventory and lower high-rent prices across the peninsula. >> right. so the thought is by bringing 2,400 graduates back on to campus that would free up housing off campus.

but that's only about half of the graduate students that live off campus right now. so, what does mean for you if you're not a stanford graduate student. supporters of the plan say that moving more students back on to campus will free up but opponents of the plan say that the families already living at us k escondido village could be replaced as early as this summer. adding more is adding more traffic and noise and we did talk to a real estate consultant that says moving students back here could help to free up housing in the price range bracket and only if the housing is finished all at the same time. >> which can create a ripple effect throughout the peninsula and the county. if housing opens up and there may be no impact. >> santa clara county already approved the permit back in december. so, tonight, stanford planners are making their case to the

city of palo alto and no power to approve or deny the project, but they do have a pretty influential opinion to offer to the county. can make suggestions to the county going forward. that meeting is at 6:00 tonight at the palo alto city chambers. >> thank you very much, kris. time for your monday morning riddle. two zebra on the streets. >> they were out on friday. here is a photo of the pair, you might say, on the lamb after escaping from a traveling circus set up near 0.co coliseum. circus workers managed to wrangle the workers pretty quickly and bring them back to the circus. >> send in the clowns. but the idea growing on the zebra plan and a similar thing happened last november to the same circus company when they were visiting philadelphia. that's when two zebras from the universal circus escaped for more than half an hour.

the same two behind the jail break, but might want to reconsider their procedures for holding the animals. >> when the circus is on the outside and not on the inside, you have a real problem for everybody involved. pretty calm start here and little bit of rain on your monday. >> rainy day and mondays get you down, no worry. >> we will have sun for the rest of the week, actually. after today, you'll need the umbrella as you have rain falling at times and by tomorrow we'll see all of this clearing out. we had rain over the weekend and most spots had anywhere from about 0.5 in the north bay to 0.1 in san francisco and then we pretty didn't have anything in san jose. so, still some of those scattered showers out there in palo alto as we go hour by hour. we will still have some of that rain moving through and temperatures in the lower 60s. 63 degrees at 1:00 this afternoon. and then as we go into later on today, still a chance of rain. and we'll be in the low 60s. some breezy winds. those winds rushing in onshore as that area of low pressure

stays well to the north of ous draping that cold front all across the coast. now, into the day, we will still have those winds up to about 25 to 30 miles an hour. and some scattered showers moving in and the rain will be very hit or miss and maybe a little bit heavy at times. but most of the rain we'll see today will be light and may even lingner to the start of the morning tomorrow, especially in the north bay before it all clears out and the rest of the afternoon will be clear. rainfall totals during this time period look to be about 0.25 and we already, once again, had some pretty good amounts in the north bay. another soaker on top of that and the wind moving in onshore up to 30 miles per hour during the middle of the afternoon as we get some of those showers coming down. over the next three days, a chance of rain in the south bay and tomorrow we'll have a high of 63 degrees. 6 degrees on wednesday and the seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen how the temperatures will be warming up the rest of the week in san francisco. and low 60s there on wednesday

and to 66 degrees. in the north bay, we'll be up to 60 today, and then 70 on wednesday and the east bay will have temperatures in the low to mid-60s. heading into this weekend, we will have some beautiful weather. you can make plans to get outside and nothing but sunshine. and into the low 70s. even some mid-70s in the south. up to 76 degrees on sunday. also looks very nice. but a toucher in some spots and 68 degrees in the peninsula. i'll have another look at the forecast coming up. let's see what's happening as you head out for that morning commute and what is happening in the south bay, mike. >> we'll look at this camera 101 through san jose and more traffic flowing through and more dramatic than just this. look at your map. we have that fall out from highway 87 the earlier crash right around curtner and now only slow from capital and a good slow down there. capital expressway. sometimes folks choose between 87 and 101. you see this slow down. some more folks might have hit

101. we'll track that. the rest of the south holding up. here's the tri-valley. no surprises. same thing for the hayward area off the castro valley wide. metering lights are on and more folks hitting the road highway 4 and a lot more cars and folks have to drive over if they traditionally use the pittsburg bay line. oakland 880 snno slowing on the sensors and northbound with the taillight and southbound with the headlight sxlights. >> thank you very much, mike. probably not in that traffic, but chelsea clinton is in the bay area. coming up, the stanford grad's visit today is stirring up plenty of controversy. donald trump defending lns at his rallies and sitting down with republicans to talk unity. i'm tracie potts. it's all happening today in washington. the biggt buzis l-rightnow...t'

years ago and her body still has not been found. her family spent the weekend in morgan hill looking for her. two burglars in the east bay busted all thanks to an alert and a canine officer. this is the dog perched in front of the stolen property found inside that white sedan which also turned out to be stolen. police say neighbors spotted a man and woman in concord yesterday morning stealing several items from cars and porches. police eventually tracked the two suspects down, but one got away. but that's when the canine officer came in and found him nearby. >> helping out with that arrest there. happening today, all eyes apple. in just under four hours now the company will unveil its line of we already have but better. >> stefchuang helping us in cupertino. hoping a little phone is a big win for users. >> bucking the trend of the larger screen. this is the 6s.

the industry insiders say that apple is looking at something closer to the 5s which was introduced in 2013 calling it the s.e. cheaper, four inches and same sort of body as the 5s replacing it as the entry level phone but keeping the guts of the 6s. take a look at the screen. we have a screen grab of this morning what the apple online store has been running. it reads, we can't wait to show you what we have in store. analysts believe the smaller screen and lower price tag is a muf to attract more buyers around the globe, including china which is a huge consoumer of smartphone. analysts say the se will also fight phone fatigue and appeal to the estimated one-third of customers who did not upgrade to those larger screens. >> so people who don't really care to have these larger screen iphones but maybe they don't want to be left behind from everything that is new right now, like apple pay. >> other expectations for this
