republican. that primary coming up in a week but it may turn out to be a bigger for the gop. here's why. donald trump, ted cruz and john kasich answer voters questions at a town hall in milwaukee tomorrow. they're vying for 42 delegates in wisconsin next week. it's winner take all and like cruz, kasich is now backing off his pledge to support donald trump if trump wins the nomination. >> we're going to look at it every single day and we have a long way to go and i don't want to protect it. he'll be the nominee. >> trump and cruz are still tradinginal attacks. the latest, cruz insist trump planted the tabloid story accusing cruz of extra marital affairs. >> this story is garbage. tabloid smear and came from done donald trump. >> for him to say i had to do to put the shoe on the other foot is disgraceful. >> reporter: bernie sanders appears to be off the campaign trail today after winning washington state, alaska and
6:27 am
hawaii last weekend. pressed on whether he supported hillary clinton's nominee. >> too early to talk about that. right now we have a lot of momentum. >> reporter: he's pushing to win the majority of wisconsin's 96 delegates and wants to debate clinton in her home state, new york. but today the focus, again, with johnson and clinton giving a speech there and we've got an advance copy of some of the points that she's going to make about the supreme court. the president's nominee urging congress to deal with that and tying that into the campaign saying that is greatly concerned if donald trump is elected and selects the next person on the u.s. supreme court. sam, kris. coming up next, california's minimum wage heading towards $15 an hour. details of what could be a landmark deal with a ripple effect nationwide. joininus. i'm m bro

6:31 am
else to expect this week. also a heads up if you're planning to go to the sierra and that's coming up in the microclimate forecast. let's see what's happening at the bay bridge toll plaza with anthony. >> the metering lights on for an hour and backup extensive all the way back towards the maze. pretty slow coming in from oakland headed over to san francisco, so keep in mind another one of those slow mornings. at least you have a beautiful sunrise. no this morning. little windy and hold on with both hands to the steering wheel because winds gusting over the area bridges. across the rest of the east bay looking pretty good. slowing from walnut creek and caldecott tunnel. dublin starting to see some slowing and an earlier car fire in sunol. that has been cleared but keeping things really slow coming through the of the sunol grade. through the south bay, no concerns there. earlier accident keeping 101 slow. very common slow spot here this
6:32 am
morning. continue to track the rest of the bay and the slowing. back to you guys. >> thank you very much,any. 6:32 right now. happening today governor jerry brown is expected to announce a tentative deal that would raise the state's minimum wage to $15 an hour by the year 2022. "today in the bay" stephanie chuang is in our san francisco newsroom. you have been talking about this in the context of the state minimum wage and also saying it could be part of the national conversation. >> it could, it could, kris. bernie sanders likes the idea and might bed a long shot considering that would more than double the current minimum wage of $7.25. others say $12 is more appropriate. donald trump, ted cruz, they don't want any of that. let's talk about this in real terms. we can look at a cal study on the city of los angeles and raise to $15.25 an hour.
6:33 am
end up making about $4,800 a year more. on the flipside, the study would say 1% in an increase in consumer prices and reduction in prices and percent. now for the deal could be up for a vote in the legislature in as early as two weeks. according to "l.a. times" two 50 cent increases and $1 each year until $15 an hour in 2022. smaller businesses go another year. meaning fewer 25 employees that deadline would be 2023. but political analysts say this is a compromise move that governor brown has to do this because unions have already got one initiative and one in the works for the november ballot that would leave it up to california voters and make it as early as $15 an hour by 2020. so, again, we'll have to see. live in our san francisco newsroom, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." international news now and a
6:34 am
developing story out of pakistan where that country is beginning three days of mourning after a suicide bomber blew himself up at a busy park killing at least 72 people. more than 300 others were injured. these were mostly women and children. it happened while christian families were celebrating easter in the pakistany city of lahore. again, many of those dead. women and children. a breakaway group of the pakistani taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack and the group is warning that more attack could follow. 6:34 now. in brussels just hours ago, officials confirmed four more deaths following last tuesday's terror attacks and that brings the number killed to 35 and now includes several americans. the "today" show keir simmons has more on the video and the so-called man in white. >> good morning. a mystery this morning surrounding a man seen at the airport with two of the suicide bombers. the man in the white wearing the

6:37 am
celebrations. and even though they have yet to make an arrest, police believe that the graffiti was not the work of white supremests, rather a hayward-based street gang. >> why would a gang that has different ethnicities as the members in that gang spray paint the words on the wall this morning targeting primary african-american and hispanic cultures. >> police believe the gang might have been trying to use the graffiti to mark territory. a lieutenant with the san leandro police department reports that gang crimes in his city are minimal they see no connection, as i mentioned to racist graffiti that appeared on a school district office. this is earlier this month. a 21-year-old man has been arrested and charged with that incident. reporting live outside san leandro police, bob redelll "today in the bay." the man accused of murdering an 8-year-old girl is due in court later this morning. opening statements expected to start in the trial of darnell

6:40 am
that pressure gradient giving us some gusty winds today and we're still in between with some clear skies and some beautiful weather to start out the day. but taking a look at the rain timeline. there will be a chance of some east bay showers. possibly some brief, heavy downpours before it moves on and it looks like only secluded to the east bay and the tri-valley with that chance of rain. but we will be watching for that as we go trhrough the day. otherwise mostly sunny skies and temperatures coming down and highs today in the upper 50s to lower 6 o0s and, once again, breezy winds later today. i'll detail that and a look ahead to the rest of the week coming up. let's see what's happening on the roadways as we check in with anthony. >> we mention the breezy winds of san mateo and chp issued a wind advisory here just because it is so windy across those bridges this morning. that does not include the rest of the bay. see over the san mateo it is slow. both hands on the wheel and, again, very slow getting on to the bridge. not because of any accident, but
