summer by this weekend. because it will continue to warm up. and it will be very nice today. in some spots, 10 or 11 degrees warmer than it was yesterday during the afternoon. once that sea breeze kicks in, it was starting to get cool yesterday evening. now, things have calmed down as far as the wind. we're all dry. a live look at palo alto and the temperature trend for cupertino at 9:00 when many more people are getting up and getting out, it will be 54 degrees. and warming into the low 60s by lunchtime. upper 60s later on today, and i think a lot of us will be hitting the 70s. i'll talk about that and what else to expect as a slight chance of rain rolls in midweek. we head over to mike. >> behind me, there were a set -- was a set of flashing lights which we didn't expect to see, and it cleared in the last three minutes while we were on set. this set of flashing lights cleared. there were no chp reports and no construction work, so it must have been someone being pulled

over for paperwork, perhaps. nice easy drive as we look at the map across the san mateo bridge. right there in the middle of the screen, and the dumbarton bridge. a new accident around the embarcadero, we'll follow up on that, but no lanes reported blocked in the initial report. >> in the north bay, a deadly crash i continue to follow in vacaville. very far north for most of our viewers and coming southbound 505 from vaca valley parkway. a car went off the road into a tree. the flashing lights might have been a distraction. you do have a smoother drive through vacaville and fairfield. back to you. >> thank you. 5:02 now. continuing coverage of the murder trial of a man accused of killing a teenager sierra lamar, and there's a change in gears. this week, the defense took over and will continue to make their case before the jury today. >> today in the bay's bob redell joining us live from the courthouse with a closer look at what might happen in court today. bob, good morning. >> good morning to you, sam and

kris. the defense expected to present more testimony today here at the hall of justice in san jose to build theirclase for their client, garcia torres, and present the case he's not guilty of killing and abducting 15-year-old sierra lamar. yesterday, the defense called to the stand the defense investigator named david. he testified he looked at surveillance video from bta buses in the area at the time of sierra's disappearance, and none of that video showed the retjetda that anglean garcia torres was allegedly driving that day. it appears the defense is trying to plant the seed that maybe he was not driving the red jetta on the day sierra disappeared. that would be important for the defense because the prosecution says sierra's dna was found in that vehicle. sierra lamar disappeared in march of 2012 while walking to her school bus stop in morgan hill. anglean garcia torres is facing

the death penalty. coming up in 60 minutes, we'll hear from one of the volunteers who searched for sierra's body on why she's been following the trial in person since it began. bob redell, today in the bay. >> all right, bob redell following that closely for us. >> 5:04, following a developing story out of miami where a gunman last night ambushed two undercover police officers. the video that you're looking at right here shows the officers being rushed to the hospital in a pickup truck. they were able to walk inside, as you can see right there. they are now said to be doing -- they're said to be in good spirits. investigators say the pair was conducting an undercover gang operation when they were shot. at this point, police have not made any arrests. >> parents and students angry about a racist incident on social media, plan to show up at an east bay school board meeting. over the weekend. hundreds of families joined hands outside albany high school where african-american students

and an african-american staff member were targeted in a racist instagram account. other students started the account and the principal says some of them have already been disciplined. tonight, organizers will call for new programs to address racism and stop bias. >> well, we already heard some of the reaction this morning from the one guy who said he flt like his wife had cheated on him. mixed reaction as news finally sinking in for raiders fans that the team is moving to las vegas. on the left side of the screen, you see reaction from bay area fans. long faces. destitute faces. on the right side, las vegas fans, they're feeling pretty good about things. so what are the fans going to do when their beloved silver and black take their act to vegas? a lot of questions unanswered. >> many wondering what happens to the team in the interim as they continue to play here in the bay area as they await their new stadium. here's what we know. the raider plan to play their first season in sin city in 2020, which means the team plans to play at the coliseum for a

couple more years. some fans say they'll support the team no matter what. others, though, say they won't follow the siland black anymore. >> my stomach dropped, like my girlfriend cheated on me, my wife cheated on me. >> i just can't go to the stadium and pretend everything is great. i just can't do that. >> we know it's one of the best, most loyal fan bases anywhere in the country. we did a twitter poll overnight asking fans if they'll still go this season despite feeling jilted. the results so far, out of 400 votes, 64% say no, they will not. 22% say yes, they will attend the raider games here. 14% say they're not decided as of yet. our coverage on the raiders move is far from over. head to nbcbayarea.com to see the full statement from roger goodell and mark davis. >> no matter what your team is, you have to sympathize with the fans losing their team. >> so hillary clinton will be in

may be poised to go after scammers taking advantage of the victims of last month's floods. council members are debating a proclamation authorizing the city attorney to take legal action against scammers. they're also voting to extend the emergency declaration they made shortly after last month's floods. it would allow flood victims forced from their homes to continue to receive aid. >> developing overnight, crews decided to suspend the search for a man swept into the san francisco bay. this is video from the san francisco fire department. firefighters responding to calls of someone screaming for help near baker beach in san francisco. this was around 7:30 last night. when crews got there, they did find a man hanging off the cliff by a rope. he said he was trying to help someone else who fell in before he was rescued. firefighters spotted the second victim but strong surf and undertoe are preventing crews from getting to him. >> that's a story we covered last night live at 6:00.

right now, check this out, a daring rescue in southern california. a woman whisked off to safety after being atop black mountain in san diego. >> she had injured her foot while she was hiking, but flagged down a helicopter for help. fortunately, rescue crews were able to get to her just in the nick of time. >> very tight harness she's got on there. kari hall watching the weather for us. >> 5:09, as you get ready to step out the door, it is cooler than yesterday at this time. now, dropping down to 46 degrees in san jose. it's 44 in livermore, and san francisco, 49. oakland is at 53 degrees. heading into this afternoon, we're going to see the highs a lot warmer than yesterday. up to 72 in san jose, livermore, and palo alto. 78 in napa, and in oakland, up to 68 degrees. if you're following me on facebook and twitter, i'm keep you up to date on everything going on, especially as we head into the weekend as you make the

centering around this russian investigation and the chair of the committee that's doing the investigation, how he got that classified information, who he gave it to, and who he didn't. after his secret trip to the white house grounds, top democrats want the house intelligence committee chair to step down from the russia investigation. >> just has too much called to question whether he has the objectivity necessary to oversea this investigation. >> he saw classified information that could not be brought to his committee. and that it had nothing to do with russia. >> nobody was sneaking around. all it was was just a place where i had to go to be able to review this information. >> we don't know what mr. nu is talking about, and it seems more than suspicious that he's somehow going to the white house. >> nunes briefed the president, fought his colleagues. the senate intelligence committee now to talk to trump's son-in-law about his ties to russia during the transition.

>> he met with countless individuals. that was part of his job. that was part of his role. >> president trump tweets, the russia story is a hoax. today, he's shifting focus. signing an executive order to create more jobs for coal miners and review president obama's policy on carbon emissions. focusing on energy as questions mount about the russia investigation. and we have also learned that there was supposed to be a hearing today on russia. with the fbi, the cia, the intelligence committee, but it's one of those meetings that chairman nunes canceled. back to you. >> he's most certainly facing heat today. tracie potts reporting from d.c., thank you very much. back a home, bay area mayors are keeping a unified front in the face of threats from the white house to crack down on sanctuary cities. yesterday morning our time, 10:30, jeff sessions threatened to pull billions of dollars in federal grant money in cities

that defy immigration law. a gathering of mayors, mayors from the bay area were among those who vowed to fight those threats. >> the president's failure to pass health care, he's going to get more trouble getting tax cuts through congress. >> we continue our coverage from here. >> you'll remember wall street was on fire, as investors expected all kinds of things to change out of the white house so far, very little has changed. the dow dropped for the eighth straight session on monday. at one point, down 200 points before recovering. investors are starting to question whether the trump administration can achieve its goals of a trillion dollar stimulus and tax cuts if it couldn't pass health care. the administration and congress worked for 17 days on health care changes but were not able to accomplish what they set out to do. trump tweeted last night that democrats will make a deal with me on health care as soon as

obamacare folds -- not long. do not worry, we are in very good shape. but of course, the democrats had nothing to do with the failure of the american health care act. republicans dominate both the house and the senate. the bill never made it out of committee because republicans could not agree on it. elon musk is making lots of news this week as he proposes yet another company to connect the human brain to computers. it's in its very early days. he's going to call it neuro link. he told vanity fair the technology is four to five years away. the senate will consider a new law that will allow internet providers to continue to look at and sell your web brousing activity. it would stop an obama era prohibition that never took effect. i should point out the tv station is owned by comcast. >> the house has already passed the law. privacy advocates are urging people to contact their l lawmakers and facebook has added a new feature to make that

easier. facebook.com/townhall. here is mine. sam liccardo is my mayor. and there's my congresswoman. governor, i know that one. some i was less familiar with. school board members and that stuff. the cool thing is you can click on a contact button and it will hook you up with the e-mail or phone number. >> people feel mobilize ed right about not. that's good. >> it's good getting back in touch with you. >> i was on research with our mexican friends looking into -- >> you were doing a lot of research. thank you. something you were talking about a couple weeks ago here to stay after all this, the statue of the little girl staring down wall street is not backing down anytime soon. >> the fearless girl statue is now very popular since her installation earlier this month. the mayor of new york city says the artwork has fueled a powerful conversation about women in leadership. the statue was supposed to be coming down on april 2nd, but

now she has a longer term permit to allow her to remain through february 2018. >> that statue is never coming down. >> i don't think so. >> that's going to be iconic. part of wall street. >> you remember the bull was an art installation, too. >> anything you can do, i can do better. i love that girl statue. >> i have seen that stance facing me. i would be the bull, i guess. >> you have an 8-year-old girl. >> we would all like tans like scott was sporting. we might have a chance. temperatures climbing up to the 80s. >> a lot of people hitting the beaches over the next several days and especially this weekend. we're talking about some upper 70s and even low 80s for the inland areas. but not so much this morning. take a look at how cool it is as you step out the door. it's 44 degrees in the tri-valley and 50 in the peninsula. and our seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen starts out in the peninsula right now. as we're going to see the temperatures going from the low 50s now, warming up well above

what we were feeling yesterday. in some spots, 10 to 12 degrees warmer. and it will be up to 73 degrees in the tri-valley. 66 degrees today in san francisco. so we are going to see some changes as we through this week. we'll see the cloud cover increasing late wednesday into earl thursday. as the system moves in, looks to be a fairly weak one. only a few spotty showers starting out on thursday morning. a quick one and done by noon, i think it's out of here. and not all of the bay area will see rain. we'll have another chance of showers early next week. other than that, we're in for some mainly conditions. looking at the sierra snow pack, we are right now 163% of average. even with some of that melting. looking fairly good. on thursday, we have the preseason giants and a's bay bridge series game. and it will be nice for that. once again, that chance of rain early in the day. by the evening, it will be cool and breezy.

temperatures dropping back into the mid 50s. now, as we head over to mike, checking on the east shore freeway. >> we did a report of a crash. we also have slowing for the construction zone. same area, it sounds like everything is unrelated, though. as we look at the speed sensors, nice, evie drive. still tracking the crash off grant line road. over here, heading toward ri richmond parkway, one vehicle in the slow lane. that's one reason we see slowing as crews alive. we'll track that. there's a reference on the map. as we get to the bay bridge, a smooth drive. 17 minutes through the slower zone, and a nicei easy drive don the east shore freeway. an earlier crash involving a dump truck is on the shoulder. that's not those flashing lights. that the construction. back to you. >> thank you very much. coming up next, we turn now to technology to prevent serious falls. computer game senior citizens are using tohopefully keep their generation healthier. >> i'm intrigued. hopefully kee

their generation healthier. >> i'm intrigued. tnsut it'posblecouteg

5:25 now. turns out it is possible that computer games may be used for more than just fun. they may improve safety for older folks. >> you can do all this on your ipad or computer. at least that's what some health workers believe. the theory being the same computer games that help seniors stay sharp may also improve balance and cognitive function.

>> it may help seniors from potentially dangerous falls. that's just a theory, but it is a theory that the university of washington researchers are now studying. graduate students are using sensors to measure sway and wobbling to see if a particular brain game helps. so far, they are not testing madden '17 or grand theft auto. >> would love to see my grandparents playing those games, though. >> nbc bay area responds to a family on the hook for rental car damage they say they didn't cause. >> they called for help settling that disputd, and chris joins us with their store. >> last summer, roger and his family relocated to the bay area from the east coast. at the same time, they were sending their son to college in indiana. they rented a van from budget, which roger's wife drove to drop their son off at college in indiana. now, while in indiana, someone at a gas station pointed out that something was wrong with the rear tire.

so, the woman drove to the nearest budget office, explained what happened and simply swapped out the van. two months later, the man spotted a $750 charge on his credit card statement from budget. he says budget was claiming his wife was responsible for $750 worth of damage to the rear axel of that van. roger disputed the claims and the charge unsuccessfully. so he asked us for help. when we contacted budget, it reversed the $750 charge. we asked budget what had happened, but the company didn't respond to our request for comment. if you have a consumer complaint, let us know. 888-996-tips or online at nbcbayarea.com/responds. >> all right, chris, thank you very much. coming up, nearly a dozen break-ins in just one day. the south bay neighborhood on edge as police continue to search for a suspect. you're looking at video of the scene 24 hours ago.

580, that crash at grand line road, the vehicle went off the roadway, but chp does have a common from the driver, so the driver is okay. just shaken up. that would be of course, because he went down the hillside there. meanwhile, the rest of the drive through the tri-valley moves well, and the east shore freeway, mild slowing. but 19 minutes from highway 4 down to the bay bridge toll plaza. back to you. >> thank you, mike. let's stick with the road right now. coming up next, did not report on this as it happened last night, but it would have made your traffic report. a 6-car pile-up in the east bay. the investigation under way to find out how a cow ended up in the fast lane of a busy freeway. >> plus, people investigating the white house are in too tight? we'll take a look on this day 68.

escalator malfunctioned. we have to tell you, this video is disturbing. >> it's disturbing. also happening in reverse. you'll see it here from the cell phone video. a packed escalator suddenly reversing direction and picking up speed as it's going down. you seens of people being thrown to the floor. i know it's from a fair distance away. that's a better look at things as they come push down the escalator. one victim is in the hospital right now with a serious head injury. 17 others were also injured. experts say what happened is two safety gears malfunctioned at the same time. the shopping center spokesern said the escalator just passed an inspection only a few days before the accident. >> emotions high after a south korean ferry arrived into port. that boat capsized and sank nearly three years go, killing more than 300 people. most of them, you might remember, were students on a high school trip. a service was held on a boat near the vessel that is holding relatives of the missing victims prayed for the remains of nine
