colorado will be discussing today. vo state law allows students who need medical marijuana to use edible pot at public schools, as long as the school district agrees. but so far -- none havgi need medical marijuana to use at public schools as long as the school district agrees. now patient advocates are pushing a bill to require school nurses or parents to administer the medical pot. a state house committee is voting today whether toed a vns the bill. laura, a new study finds undocumented immigrant children in four different states not getting access to education.

the georgetown university law found that rules and red tape are creating extended delays for undocumented children in the states of texas, new york, florida and north carolina. some of the kids are staying out of school entirely. the u.s. requires all children attend school low the eighth grade whether they're legal residents or not. happening today, a formerer league baseball scouting director will learn if he'll go to prison for hacking into another team's database. worked for the st. louis cardinals. last year he pledd pleaded guil belonging to the houston astros. he obtained confidential information with the team's stats and scouting report. washington is waiting to see if the new proposed law that would crack down on apple and other silicon valley companies force them to help out the fbi. >> scott mcgrew a bit of mystery surrounding this bill. you may have a first look at it. >> i may. the bill was leaked, sam. we're not sure if the leak was

delivered or not. for this matter, if this is, indeed, authentic. senator feinstein's office won't confirm to reporters that it's real, but they won't say it isn't either. so, this may be a balloon to see how tech leaders react. senator feinstein has been very clearly on the side of the fbi in the fight over the cell phone encryption. in an editorial to "time magazine" apple's refusal to lock the phone used by the san bernardino shooter puts americans at risk. only you and the receiver can read it and apple can't at all and no one else can. that would change under this proposed law. apple would be required to change its system. twitter named two new people to its board of directors. one is a top executive at pepsi and the other a british entrepreneur that does a lot of tweeting. that is actually really unusual. twitter directors generally don't use twitter.

let's go to the scoreboard, shall we? the new board member that does a lot of tweeting. she tweets all the time. hugh johnston the other new board member has tweeted twice. twice. and both of those tweets were after he was hired to the board. marjorie scardino has tweeted a grand total of 14 times or once every 2.5 months. this deuz not make them other bad business talents but you would think people in charge of twitter would have to use twitter. you don't have to be a pilot to serve on the board of american airlines but helpful if maybe once in your life you had been on a plane. >> just to have that perspective. >> wasn't there an executive at twitter who one time sent out a direct message and he sent out a

tweet. he thought he was direct messaging and messed it up. >> you have to understand your product. >> common sense it's not a bad idea. 6:17. the golf world this morning talking about this epic meltdown for one of its superstars at the masters. >> you hate to see a player play like this. a five-shot lead did spieth and looked like he was going to coast to another mast and then at the 12th hole he collapsed. spieth hit the drink so to speak not once, but twice. finishing with a quadruple bogey on that hole. spieth handed the win over as last year's champion spieth helped this new champion dawn his green jacket. >> you always get to keep your own green one, right? >> he has at least one and i have a feeling he'll add another

to the collection. a lot of green pastures typically for this pasture. >> a goat perhaps. i think those things will eat cup. check out these pictures of the wayward goat hungry for whatever is in those balks. goats eat everything. >> an officer eventually called into the scene leashing up that goat taking her to a shelter. turns out the goat doesn't live too far from the starbucks and her owner came forward to claim her. >> they start eating your clothes. they'll eat anything. >> sure. you have nice pants. >> let's check the forecast with kari this morning. we're really kind of. >> hopefully you had a great weekend and a chance to pretty much just hang out inside and enjoy family. that's what i did. we will have weather to get outside over the next couple of days. starting out this morning in the mid-50s and cloudy skies let's

drop in on the east bay now. 54 grees in alamo, castro valley 53 degrees and fremont starts out the morning at 54 degrees. 55 in the south bay and as we go hour by hour in san francisco, we'll still have the clouds through at least 10:00 or 11:00 this morning and then as it clears out we make it into the low 60s. temperature in the mission district 52 grees and we will see a couple of spots making it up to 63. and then it dropsack down into the mid-50s by tonight as those clouds will go right back in. add least we don't have to deal with the rain. up to 67 degrees in los gatos and palo alto. also 66 in oakland and san ramon 67 degrees. seven-day forecast at the bottom of your screen. we'll see your temperatures hold steady and we will have some rain into late wednesday night for the north bay and thursday morning for the rest bay area. all because of this area of low

pressure. a very weak storm system that will bring some scattered showers and some breezy winds. once the rain moves out by thursday afternoon. the winds rushing in from the north. and our temperatures warm up in time for the weekend. rainfall totals just to be about 0.1 for most of us and maybe closer to 0.25 in parts of the north bay. a look at that weekend forecast after the rain clears on thursday it will still be nice on friday and then saturday look at how those temperatures ramp up. for the south bay up to 78 degrees and in the tri-valley a high of 77. 70 in the north bay. so t will definitely feel like springtime this weekend as you're trapped inside this last weekend. this weekend coming up it will be nice to make some beach plans. let's send it back to you, laura. >> what a turn around. we'll look forward to that. well, what about that monday morning commute. most of it is shaping up as we would expect. key spots we're watching this morning. an update in fremont. all lanes now cleared of

vehicles and southbound 880 now the after effects. still jammed from fremont to stevenson boulevard after a six-car pileup there. in los gatos the deadly crash investigation continues to close the connector to northbound highway 17. access from 17 to northbound 85 is going to be tough through there. expect some slowing this morning. coming up next on the road to the white house. almost all of the republican presidential candidates in new york today except ted cruz who's skipping the empire state for the golden state. the reason he's swinging by california later today. live look to both at&t park and the coliseum this morning. the giants are off today after taking three of four from the dodgers. they'll be in colorado tomorrow. in the meantime, coming off a sweep of the mariners. the a's kick off a three-game series with the angels tonight in oakland. good morning, coming up on "today." new polls in the presidential race coming out this morning with the new york primary just

decision 2016 ==laura/vo== at 6:24.

monday morning moving on to decision 16. the latest ap poll finds what many other polls seem to indicate about the race for president. when it comes to issues, hillary clinton has a big edge over donald trump. asked which would be the best at "making america great" that is the slogan being used by the trump campaign. clinton is also the preferred candidate on issues ranging from immigration to health care. presidential candidates are now focused on new york just over a week away but ted cruz shifting his attention right here to our gaeld golden state. >> trailing cruz and kasich in the polls right now. tracie potts joining us live from washington, d.c. crews going to california to try to collect delegates there. >> yeah, he'll be down in san diego and orange county in southern california today trying to focus ahead to the next big state. in new york right now the polls are averaging a 35-point deficit for ted cruz.

that means he is number three behind john kasich. so, while all the other candidates are in new york, cruz is going to be spending more time in california. trying to make up that deficit and win delegates in another big state as this thing goes down to the wire. meantime we have donald trump saying that things are not fair in some states like colorado where cruz has now picked up all of the delegates through that state's conventions and in their districts. then donald trump says that process is stacked against him. but, actually, when nbc looked at it. when you look at raw votes so far, donald trump actually has more delegates percentage wise than he got in terms of raw votes. so, we're watching that, as well as the democrats who will be debating in new york on thursday. >> maybe he's not getting such a sour deal after all. tracie potts reporting live from washington, thank you. growing concern in wine country. the invasive test that could damage the grapes.

he will plead not guilty and that he was not the aggressor. he once received a settlement from the city over the 2005 police shooting death of his father. earlier in the evening smith had had dinner with a former police officer named in that law suit but hayes said that previous settlement had nothing to do with that shooting. smith's death is rippling across the sports world. he was drafted back in 2004 from ohio state and pro bowler and part of that 2009 super bowl team here in new orleans. investigators are now looking into whether this was road rage, revenge or perhaps something else. guys, back to you. >> thank you. that family picture certainly says so much about how saddening this is. gabe will have much more on the investigation coming up this morning on "today" show. that starts at 7:00. it is 6:44. the backlash continues to grow against mississippi and north carolina over their new religious freedom laws. first it was tech companies like
