yesterday morning on north first street near bass set street. a half mile away from police headquarters. officers found a man dead with at least one stab wound. not much else is being released at this time. but it does mark the city's 27th homicide of the year. almost double last year's rate. dozens of people are out of their homes this morning after a fire at a san jose. this fire started around 4:30 yesterday morning on the ninth floor of the 12-story apartment complex. the building sprinklers put out the fire but the units had to be vacated because of the water damage. it was not too far from city hall. firefighters had to escort people into and out of the build soggy they can grab essential in order to stay somewhere else for the next few days. >> and the people were sheltered in a vta bus for awhile. they had to get their belongings. it can be about a week.
6:46 am
they have to dry out the building and make sure the elect call is in good shape. the red cross is housing everyone who needs a house to stay at barnett middle school. they believe a faulty light fixture sparked the fire. developing news from the world. the round up continues this morning in turkey after friday's failed military coup. special forces raid the istanbul. four high ranking air force officers are detained. the turkish cabinet is preparing to meet for the first regular session since the attempted coup. the european union is already warning turkey about not restoring or resorting to capital punishment. thes are mixed this morning after a big runoff last week. >> yeah. the markets started with a moment of silence. >> they did.

6:48 am
yahoo! it was nice knowing you. it looks as if the british chip company arm may be sold to the japanese-based soft bank. arm is a huge chip company. it neighborhoods chips for cell phones. think about how many cell phones are out there. it is a bit of wounded national pride as the british company looks like it will be sold for $35 billion. if high-tech had one of those flags that referees throw they would throw it for a net neutrality violation. t-mobile said it's going to offer free data for the pokemon app. it doesn't use that much data but t-mobile is making what i'm sure is considering a nice gesture. i'm sure parent s who pay the bill feels like it. if goes to the heart of net neutrality. when you have a company deciding when apps get to go through free, which apps don't. they're deciding who wins and who doesn't. that violates the heart of net neutrality. >> it's hard to have the conversation when somebody is getting free and that's all they
6:49 am
want to talk about. >> yep. there's an upside but a secret side. if you are using pomon, you want to be safe doing it. and so driving and playing the insanely popular app that scott mcis talking about is not the kind of game to take lightly. some see it as a business opportunity. ride share driver chad davis come up a new service to assist pokemon players without turning them into distracted drivers. >> for $25 an hour, he'll shuttle you to any or all stops in town. his inspiration for the idea came relatively easily. >> i thought that could be my wife one day driving with our child and gets hit by somebody that is playing a game. >> he doesn't mind taking wherever you want to go. if you're comfortable picking up other players, that's fine too. he's open to getting a lot of business because of it. >> well, hopefully no one is
6:50 am
driving and playing pokemon on the roads this morning. the critters need a sweater this morning. >> probably so. >> you need a sweater. we're in the upper 50s now. this is about average and a lot of clouds not that much sunshine. as we go into the day, though, feeling nice. let's get a look outside to see what you're facing as you head out the door. some low clouds as we get a view of the golden gate bridge. at least we can see it. it looks good. and the drivers don't have to worry about the low visibility, at least in that spot. so as we get a look at what to expect today. a cool start to the week. actually cooler than average. as we go through the rest of the week, temperatures will climb gradually. by this weekend we're talking about temperatures hitting the mid 90s. it's 60 degrees in san jose, mostly cloudy. and the high up to 78 degrees. going into the daily planner for oakland, it will be 60 degrees at 8:00 and then you see more sun as we go through the day.
