the warm springs b.a.r.t. station. in about an hour, the transit agency will officially unveil this charging parking lot which has been here since the station opens a number of weeks ago. b.a.r.t. is doing an official unveiling in honor of earth day this past saturday. this is the only b.a.r.t. station with these kind of charging stations which are power during the day by solar panels. this, as you mentioned, is a pilot program. b.a.r.t. is trying to see how many commuters use the chargers and if there's a lot of demand, they could expand to other stations. the charge of charging is included in the $6 parking fee you pay here. reporting in fremont, bob redell, today in the bay. >> a live look right now at sfo and a traveler's nightmare at san francisco international airport this weekend that is spilling into today. sfo canceled and delayed more
5:33 am
than 200 flights just over the weekend as crews right now are repaving and relighting the airport's longest runway. officials say that fliers can expect that sort of situation every weekend for the next several months. at least 40 flights have already been cancelled today. improvements to the runway start late last month and officials warn delays and cancellations could get bad on high travel days. definitely something to keep in mind. some fliers waited hours trying to find flights that weren't delayed, cancelled, or booked full. >> four hours and then we couldn't get a flight until 24 hours later. >> certain sections of sfo began renovations last year and construction is expected to last 2024. >> 5:33, and happening today, a peninsula man accused of killing and dismembering his neighbor is expected to be arraigned. last month, david stubblefield shot and killed his 77-year-old neighbor.
5:34 am
they say he then cut up the body and left the remains in buckets to decompose behind his home. the shooting apparently sprung from a dispute over the price of a space heater that stubblefield agreed to sell. >> well, it has now been one week since the bay area couple has last been seen. this morning, search efforts still continuing. mark and brenda richard from santa rosa took off in a single-engine plane from the truckee tahoe airport last monday. they have not been seen since. the couple was aboard a small airplane scheduled to land at the petaluma airport. search crews spent the entire area scouring an area 20 miles northwest of truckee. they're looking in that area, you see pictures from the search, because radar tracking and cell phone forensics pointed them to that spot. >> 5:34 now. the search for a gunman who shot two men in richmond continues this morning. the victims were confronted around 4:00 sunday morning near gertrude avenue and york street. it's unknown why they were
5:35 am
targeted. both victims were rushed into surgery. is in critical condition. the other in serious condition. >> a night that should have been all about wedding bliss turned violent in san jose this weekend. right now, police investigating a bloody brawl that happened at a wedding reception on saturday night. officers say when they arrived at the event hall on 27th street in san jose. so many people were involved in the fight that it ended up spilling into the streets. it took officers more than an hour to gain control of the situation. even though several people were bleeding and at one point guests were throwing glass bottles at one another, only one person was taken to the hospital for care. an event planner who regularly books the event hall said he was surprised to hear what happened. >> never heard of anything like that. we have several venues on site. yes, people get crazy, people come outside, but never had an issue, especially being protected by san jose police department. >> that was orlando guzman, there. he adds that the hall requires clients to hire off-duty police
5:36 am
officers to provide security. police so far have not announced any arrests. >> four kayakers are back on solid ground after they were rescued near pier 54 yesterday afternoon. fire officials say a distress call came in around 4:23 in the afternoon. the kayakers were more than 1500 feet away from the pier. a police marine unit pulled the kayakers out of the water and took them to pier 52 for a medical evaluation. we don't know at this point why they had to be rescued. a rude awakening for a man who was pulled off the road for a nap early sunday morning along napa's silverado trail. firefighters say as he parked his car in dry brush, the brush then ignited. fortunately, the driver woke up in time to get out safely. >> wow. back online and services restored here. the san jose police department 911 call center back to normal after an alarming technical glitch that happened over the
5:37 am
weekend. the center was unable to receive 911 calls for two hours. during that disruption, callers dialing 91 were instructed to call another number instead. no reason so far has been given for the disruption. >> for the next three days, through traffic will not be allowed pass old luhonda road in san mateo county. the woodside road is closed from 8:00 in the morning until 4:00 in the afternoon for work on the storm drain there. local traffic doesn't have to worry. the road will stay open on both sides, but nonemergency traffic will not get through between those scheduled times. >> it's 5:37. as you get ready to head out on this monday morning, we have dry conditions, but it may not be like that all day long. we are going to have a chance of some showers moving through, but as we get a look at the temperature trend for willow glen, we'll be at 57 degrees. a cool start this morning, and cloudy skies throughout the day. we will also see our highs only staying in the low 60s, when our
5:38 am
average high for this time of april, we should be up to 71 degrees. we will be making it closer there and go well above that as we head toward the end of the week. more on that coming up in a few minutes, and mike is now tracking how the roads are moving around the bay. >> that's right. for the post part, they're moving great. the roadways around the bay. we have oneue, though, for the roadway across the bay. that's the bay bridge as you're going westbound. there was an accident earlier, a disabled vehicle reported around the toll plaza. i think that's out of lanes but i'm checking with chp to see if there's no information. another issue going across treasure island, a disabled vehicle reported around the tunnel. we do see some slowing developing here. i believe it's the left lane, the fast lane that's blocked. that's the opposite side of the freeway, so there may be an issue as far as traffic flow. we'll check with crews and see what the latest is. meanwhile, no problem getting under the water, through the tube, a smooth flow of traffic as well as the rest of the transit agencies. back to you.
5:39 am
5:42 am
with some partly cloudy skies. a live look outside at golden gate bridge. drivers heading out there, dry conditions now, but we may not stay that way. if you're about to get the kids up and get ready, it will be partly cloudy and cool to start. there will be some spotty rain at recess, so they may be inside. and then later on today, we'll also a slight chance of showers with some cloudy skies. we'll take a look ahead to the rest of the week coming up in five minutes. and we're showing a slowdown now for the tri-valley. this is a pretty predictable pattern but more than we had for the last two weeks. so we'll check out how that's affecting the crowd at the bay bridge. >> all right, 5:42 right now. the bay area known for its trend setting ways. apparently, that's true even when it comes to defining low income. the mercury news report that the bay area is the department of housing and urban development's first jurisdiction allowing households with six-figure incomes to qualify for
5:43 am
subsidizes housing. families which earn $105,000 or are now considered low income and can get section eight housing vouchers. >> a living wage rates are making it harder for restaurants to survive. business researchers are studying the bay area dining scene. they found higher minimum wage in urban areas increased the chances that a restaurant will fail along with poor online reviews from patrons as well. all new this morning, a surge in anti-semitic hate crimes reported since the election. >> an 86% spike in incidents involving behavior like bullying and vandalism. in all, there been 541 anti-semitic incidents this year, ranging from graffiti to some of the bomb threats that we have reported here. six assaults also in at least 34
5:44 am
cases, attackers cited president trump or the election. >> now, a developing story out of north korea where a korean american citizen is detained right now. a university of pyongyang confirmed 58-year-old tony kim who taught accounting there was picked up by authorities at the capital's international airport. north korea is holding two other citizens, a college student from cincinnati and a 62-year-old businessman. scott mcgrew has been examining the president's first 100 days. we're lm at the end of that timeframe. today is 95. >>, trump's first 100 days are in danger of ending very badly. >> they could, with a government shutdown. we're five days out from 100. four days oument from the government potentially shutting down. the president has insists the new border wall be included in
5:45 am
