forecast and what to expect as you may need a jacket on that easter sunday. that's coming up. a look now at the bay bridge toll plaza, here's mike. >> looks crazy and we have barely any backup and the fastrak lanes saw a burst of traffic right at 6:00. we saw a little backup. there are. it's friday and a preholiday holiday a good friday holiday for many businesses and schools are off to start their spring break early, as well. that is the case at the bay bridge toll plaza and look at the approach. the map not showing any slowing. we are watching all the garbage has been cleared from westbound 84 on the dumbarton bridge and stalled vehicle right at 237. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. we are still on top of that breaking news out of brussels within the last two hours. authorities confirm the identities of two more people now considered casualties in the deadly attacks off tuesday. "today in the bay" steve

handelsman has been live in brussels throughout the morning and a brother and sister reportedly on the phone with their mother when one of those bombs went off at the airport. that is just heartbreaking. >> right. >> right. >> it is heartbreaking, kris. it's tragic. it's maddening, really. the pinczowski siblings. more on them in a moment because it is an important part of the story especially in america, but a bit of good news to report here in brussels and that is dramatically increased resolve and increased activity to try to make sure there are no more isis-inspired attacks in this country, in this capital or in this region. john kerry's here. he's conferring with belgian officials who had the police out overnight and still out today and a number of raids that is not kaman in this country. even in the wake of the paris attacks, they say they have at least seven people in custody. that has belgians feeling more

positive. the french put off a planned terrorist attack with raids in that country around paris last night. and they're calling with kerry's cooperation for a new multi-national effort to try to increase the sharing of intel and put the pressure on these guys, which is what the experts say can stop terrorism. constant police pressure and constant police looking for who knows who and what everybody is up to. now, the tragedy. the heart break of the pinczowski. young people from new york city. they had roots here in new york city. one woman describes sascha pinczowski as one amazing chick. alex pinczowski also living in new york and his girlfriend posting on social media. if you're in belgium or go brussels and look in the hospitals and help me find my boyfriend. now, sadly, it's clear that their bodies had been almost immediately collected by officials and the delay was in

identification. the story is, heartbreaking. they were, as kris reported, on the phone with their mom to say, mom, we arrived here in brussels safe. when the mom reports there was a loud noise and the phone cut off. now, we know what that was all about. and, so, the pinczowskis have been accounted for leaving one more couple of americans. perhaps more the reports vary accounted for still here in brussels. so, kris and sam. good news and terrible news from here in the brussels and the belgian capital. back to you. >> steve, the thoughts running through their parents' minds when that phone call broke up. as you said, send chills down spine and all of our hearts are heavy this morning. steve handelsman reporting for us live from belgium. thank you. still waiting on word of these two americans.

that couple from kentucky were living and traveling in europe. a live look right now at the memorial near where we just saw steve a second ago. this more of a side perspective. you see, again, all of the outpouring of messages and flowers and flags this morning as europe still with so much consulation and so much grief and so much togetherness throughout all of this. we'll continue to follow the latest developments on the story throughout the course of our newscast. also have another live update from brussels in our next half hour. if any new information comes into our newsroom before then, bring it on all digital platforms. breaking news in the east bay. a chaotic morning for the hayward police department as officers are trying to piece together evidence from two separate crime scenes. >> bob redell live in hayward this morning. bob, reports of a home invasion and also a police chase and some

sort of connection between these two. good morning. >> good morning to you, sam and kris. hayward police have taken four people into custody after the car they were in crashed just a couple blocks away from police headquarters where we're standing right now. police believe that they were in the process of escaping the scene of a possible home invasion when they wrecked the car. it's not clear if officers were chasing them at the time of the crash. the video shows a man handcuff and being wheeled into an ambulance. of the four people taken into custody two are young women, possibly teenagers. this is other video we want you to take a look at. this is where the home invasion took place. you are looking at the plaza verde apartment complex. that is about a mile away from pd. police are investigating a break am in into one of the units that took place some time before midnight. not clear if anyone was hurt during, again, what police believe might have been a home invasion reporting live here

outside hayward police headquarters, bob redell, "today in the bay." 6:06 now. and a follow up. uc berkeley notifying students and teachers about a renewed push. sent an open letterlining efforts now being made to promptly investigate harassment claims and schools also working for consistent punishment for staffers who are found guilty of committing a sexual harassment incident. several recent cases are now hanging over the school over the last few months. an astronomy professor and assistant basketball coach were fired and the school law dean resigned. water is flowing away. a rare sight after years of historic drought in our state. look at it, a sight of how much rain and we have gotten this season, north of sacramento and lake shasta which is north of redding releasing tons of water in order to avoid flooding.

when all the snow pack melts it still has some place to go. but you still take a shorter shower. >> some of it is being wasted just overflowing in the reservoir. after months of delays, the crab season starts tomorrow. but not all are going to drop their pots. >> steph, some plan to wait until the crab is actually tested for quality before hitting the water. kind of an obical for fishermen. >> that's right, sam and kris. if you want to talk patience, this is it. after losing four months of business, fishermen are still choosing to wait. they could technically start dropping the crab pots this morning and start pulling up their catches at midnight, but no movement. it is absolutely quiet and been this way all morning long and that is because fishermen have agreed to set out just a couple boats today and wait for results of the crab meat quantity andty to come back monday and then

agree on a price. the other issue is predicted rough weather this weekend and that should keep boats docked here, as well. the state closed the recreational crabbing season last fall after tests came back showing high levels of a neuro toxin and giving fishermen the green light after a very difficult wait. >> a lot of people wanting to get out and wanting to fill out the pots and wanting to make some money. >> we're okay. this is good. doing it would have been worse. >> the crab season is still set to end june 30th and make up for all that time. meantime, fishermen have told us if enough boats break that unofficial agreement and head off in the water all bet are off and it is going to be a "a rat race." stephanie chuang "today in the bay." meteorologist kari hall watching the forecast and fishermen think it's stormy this weekend but you say good for us. >> good for us but a storm system nearby and that will turn

up those waves and not going to bring us a lot in the way of some rain. but will bring in cooler weather on sunday. now, as you head out, it is chilly. 48 degrees in san carlos and 44 degrees in napa. we're heading into the 70s again today in morgan hill. 74 degrees and 72 in palo alto and 62 degrees today. into the north bay, we'll be up to 76 in santa rosa, as well as brentwood and in the tri-valley, 73 degrees. let's check in now with mike. is it still looking fairly well out there on the roadways? >> very well. great traffic flow right now. from time to time seeing the fastrak lanes and the metering lights are on at the toll plaza. the will show you the traffic flows very well. actually, san mateo bridge over the bay shows you how light the traffic flow is. it's green all over the place. a smooth drive 92 across the flat section and the high rise. no problems for the peninsula through 101 and we'll look to

the north bay where traffic flow picks up just a bit. the volumes up, but the speeds don't lower from novato down to san rafael to the golden gate bridge. >> thank you very much, mike. going small stays big and one man's unique solution to find an affordable place to live in this pricy area. burger she wrote. san francisco's love for food trucks. coming up in business. afforble pce inhe baarea?well y.

how exactly do you score an affordable place in the bay area? some say you literally have to think outside of the box. check this out, it is a personal pod in the middle of a living room in san francisco's ocean beach neighborhood. the 8 by 3 foot pod belongs to peter berkowitz who is a frefreelance illustrator. his rent, 400 bucks. >> at the end of the day, i'm doing this because it makes a lot of sense for me. i'm paying just absurdly low rent and don't have any drop in quality of life. >> peter made that pod himself fits a twin bed, a skylight, window and book and storage for clothes. all for $400. >> i don't have to say anything because yir already thinking it. so a strange admission from netflix this morning giving you less than it should. >> talking about lower quality video and that is intentional.

scott mcgrew, why would netflix do that? to protect its customers, sam and kris. downgrading because those customers have data caps and going over that cap would cost you a lot of money. a quality hd run of "house of cards" for instance would put you over the cap very quickly and netflix has been sending those customers lower quality. that revelation made in "wall street journal" and upset just about everybody. the companies at&t and verizon were displeased but, again, netflix says it was trying to help. against the rules for internet providers to but certainly not against the rules for netflix to do it. no data coming out of wall street today. the markets are closed for the good friday holiday. the dow start slightly higher or stopped slightly higher at the end of trading on thursday. food trucks are popular

everywhere now, but they really got their start in san francisco. you may know the popular off the grid parties. those are a favorite. so, we've got interested in the business of food trucks. how much do they make? how hard is it to start one? and, more importantly, what's in a name. more important to have a silly name or t serve something odd like say nepalese food. >> i think everybody loves a burger, but fundamentally, the best food trucks are simple ideas. what the catchy names really communicate is the simple thing you should get off that truck and that's when the catchy name works best. >> matt cohen and also considered the godfather and he's my guest this sunday morning on "press here" right after "meet the press." called instructional where you can learn how to run a food truck, as well. you can find that on the web. plus people think they make a

fun career. >> where would say. >> figuring out the names for the trucks. burger she wrote. that was pretty good. thank you, scott. a wayward seal pup is back in a natural habitat. this seal is recovering at the marine mammal center in sausalito. she had a very long day. she was found in a fremont yard yesterday. there you see her up against the fence. homeowners say they woke up to a knock on the door from police. >> there's a seal in your driveway like a seal. how do you comprehend that? >> exactly. veterinarians do say that the little seal pup is thin, but she is alert. they are hoping to rerelease her into the wild when she's ready. by the way, the marine mammal center says that this little gal is a repeat client. her name is kimofur and they found found her back in november. she was released just weeks ago

in bodaga bay, but she came back. >> a bit of a road tripper. likes to get out and explore. you are. you want to put the top down when you're out on the roads this weekend. that could work in your favor. nice weather and kari hall has your forecast for the weekend. good morning, kari. >> yes, today and tomorrow is the days to get out there and really take in the sunshine. more clouds on sunday as we take a look out there. here's what you need to know as you head out this morning. we are starting out with some cool temperatures and there will be patchy fog, but it will clear and we'll be in for a very nice day. this weekend, the clouds come back in and it will be turning cooler on sunday, as well as the start next week. now, it's 52 degrees in the east bay and 53 degrees in san francisco and as we get a closer look at the south bay, we have 47 degrees and 50 degrees in silver creek valley and san matrin and 49 degrees. now, looking at livermore. we'll have some clouds this morning and then the sun breaks out.

kind of a typical day for springtime and then reaching into the low 70s this afternoon before it drops back into the 60s. we do still have this high pressure controlling our weather and bringing in this above average and then the jet stream starts to take a dip to the south as we go into this weekend with this area of low pressure that could be more of an interior type storm. not moving from west to east but more from north to south and that won't have as much moisture but could bring in light snow for the sierra. more clouds for the bay area and, once again, dropping our temperatures as the cool air from the north. this weekend, easter weekend is looking very nice. we will have temperatures in the low to mid-70s on sunday. we'll drop it back to the mid-60s in san francisco and upper 60s for the east bay. much cooler air moving in in the north bay. 71 degrees. but i think it willinately be a day to put a jacket or a nice sweater over your easter dress and for those easter egg hunts, you may be wearing some long

sleeves as the sun peeks out every now and then. another look at the forecast coming up and mike is tracking a problem in fremont. >> kind of an east egg hunt because we're looking for the incident. the live camera doesn't show it and more traffic flow. 880 moves well and both directions northbound and with those taillights and heading up towards stevenson where reports of the crash are there. watching this no slowing here on the sensors either. watching for any problems and a de, but that light flow of traffic you saw there and, look, all around the bay. huge traffic flow at the limit and minor slowing out of the altamont and bay bridge toll plaza. look at this shot live at the toll plaza. a little trouble for the stream. you saw enough of a glimpse of it we had enough traffic there and metering lights are on and no problem there other than the camera. >> steve is right now taking off with pricy bikes in one quiet south bay city. coming up next, the surveillance video campbell police want you

to take a look at. plus -- >> a war of words on twitter. three democratic contests this weekend and now word that donald trump has a plan to win this nomif there's a contested convention. i'm tracie potts. more on that, next. a camell he tarted fmariana. li

police not giving a lot of details about the robbery, except that they say it was not random. and that the thieves were looking for marijuana plants. the suspects got away. three adults living in that home were not hurt. just a reminder, growing marijuana even with a medical card is illegal in campbell. looking for a pair of bicycle burglars. officers say these two men seen clearly on the surveillance video broke into an apartment complex in campbell and stole four bikes from a storage yare yup. this happened last month at the revere apartments. those stolen bikes collectively are worth 1,000 bucks. police say thieves are stealing bikes around the area and then selling them on craigslist. if you the suspects, please give police a call. right now turning the attention to the race to the white house and decision 2016. a war of words between donald trump and ted cruz surrounding their wives continuing to create tension this morning. >> tracie potts is live in

washington, d.c., and, tracie, donald trump says he loves women, but it appears this is not a neutral love affair. >> not according to our nbc/"wall street journal" poll. they have a negative view of trump and almost half of republican women said they would never vote for him. >> donald, you're a coward and leave heidi alone. >> reporter: ted cruz exploding over donald trump tweeting this photo of his wife threatening to spill the beans on heidi cruz. tweeted last night, i didn't start the fight. a racy photo of trump's wife before it was posted. >> if democrats want to make sure that somebody like a donald trump does not get elected president, you're looking that who's going to beat him. >> reporter: bernie sanders is back in washington state today pushing hard for victories there. and a new ad from high representative the iraq war vet

who quit her leadership position to support him. >> what i saw in bernie was a hea heart. >> reporter: hillary clinton's support -- >> not only often but dangerous. >> reporter: talks bout the tru trump/cruz fight with jimmy kimmel last enough. >> i can't get enough of it. i wan to see some punches thrown. not with you. >> i better be really careful. >> better bernie doesn't poke you in the eye with that finger. >> i have never seen this at the presidential level. >> reporter: and new this morning. turns out donald trump is assembling a team of people to make sure he gets that nomination. they are already reaching out to delegates who will be at the convention this summer. but undeclared based on how their state votes. they're trying to reach out and get their support between the end of the primaries and the

beginning of that convention. sam, kris. >> we just saw video of donald trump and ted cruz hugging and kind of shaking hands there. we forgot they used to be chummy at the start of this race. >> everything is on its head. coming up, not an our neighborhood. the reason one bay area community doesn't want this man living next to them. plus, bus riders left out in the cold. the steps san francisco is taking to sure there are enough buses to get people where they need to go. breaki ws rit nowt 6:3==kr/vo==f

the bomb exploded at the airport and the thoughts going through her head one can only imagine. good morning. >> of course. right. and then she tells the story to the family. the loved ones. the concern ripples out and then they don't get confirmation. we know now three days in maybe got, maybe they got the confirmation yesterday, but it was a horrible, horrible delay. not because as a family feared, they were missing and unaccounted for. they were missing. their bodies were in the possession of authorities and the delay was due to identification. but it's still gut wrenching. the positive news, let's punch that very quickly before i tell you more about the pinczowskis. john kerry is here. he is expressing america's concern. he's about to lay a wreath to remember those who were lost here now. he knows including at least two americans and maybe two others. two other americans are missing

have been very cruelly taken from us. >> reporter: meanwhile, belgian police try to prevent more attacks staged overnight raids and more today and multiple arrests. america was apparently on the mind of at least one of tuesday's attackers in brussels. the taxi driver who took the terror team to the airport reportedly told police the man in white went on an anti-american rant. he is still assumed on the run after his bomb failed to go off, but has reportedly been identified by u.s. law enforcement. tuesday's suicide bombers were on the terror watchlist. and says belgium was informed. and did not focus on the pair or detect their plot. but, belgians point out that u.s. cops missed 9/11. >> so, give us a break.
