report. north bay, peninsula, south bay, we get you towards 680 and the dublin interchange. southbound 680 at the 580 connector, reports of a crash between a car and a deer. lanes are clear of that car, the deer didn't make out so well and they're making sure they get everything opened smoothly. the connector is open. and over here these flashing lights appear to have picked up. that was the road work going on, the sign work above the roadway. both directions should be clear now, 680 just about andrade, sheridan, we'll track it. back to you. we have a developing story right now. fears over botulism are growing after a second death in northern california. this time out of napa county. it's not related to the outbreak from that contaminated nacho cheese. >> today in the bay's pete suratos has more for us. are health officials say anything about it? >> reporter: good morning to you, laura and sam. well, for starters, health

officials are saying botulism is gotten when foods are inappropriately stored or preserved. they're saying this disease is very rare which makes these two most recent cases very unusual. in the latest case involviing te man in antioch, he caught it from eating contaminated nacho cheese at a gas station in walnut grove. the health official we talked to said it's important to wash fruits and vegetables and store food accordingly. the symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting and more serious issues. >> the typical symptoms we do see are a progression from paralysis of the muscles in the face down to the chest so, blurry vision, double vision, droopy eyelids and struggling to speak, having trouble swallowing, having trouble holding your head and neck up and trouble breathing. >> reporter: health officials say only 2% of the botulism

cases are deadly and it's unknown what caused this latest case in napa county. back to you in the studio. >> awfully frightening there. pete, thank you very much. new this morning, a woman says she was sexually battered while she was riding a bart train on the east bay somewhere between the richmond and north berkeley stations. bart is reporting the suspect ran out of the train at the north berkeley station and hasn't been found yet. the queen of england is in manchester to mourn with the city. the royal family tweeting out these pictures an hour ago. the queen meeting with one of the injured victims. she has called the attack "an act of barbarity." in the meantime, there are reports british authorities have stopped sharing information about the suicide bombing with the u.s. that after information was leaked to the american media. specifically photos showing remnants of a bomb published by the "new york times." about an hour ago, manchester police chief ian hopkins said

the leaks are hampering the investigation and making thing mrs. difficult for the victims' families. >> last night it was shared with the families that intelligence had been leaked and published in the "new york times." it's absolutely understandable the distress that this caused to those families. >> british prime minister. theresa may says she plans to speak with president trump about the leaks today during the nato summit that they are both attending. happening right now, video from brussels. this is the fourth stop in president trump's overseas trip and he may be facing a less forgiving crowd this time around. he met with belgium's prime minister and he offered a pledge to work together on terrorism but you might remember that president trump called brussels "a hell hole" on the campaign trail in reference to the muslim immigrant population there. the belgian have yet to forgive him for saying that, the president is scheduled to attend a nato summit later today.

we'll keep you upto date on the developments there. back at home, president trump appears to be facing a tough crowd in washington when it comes to reaction to his most recent budget proposals. that includes the math used to the republican health care bill tied to the budget. the cbo says money saved from enacting the gop's american health care act would cause 23 million americans to lose their health insurance. this is this latest scoring on the health bill. even republicans are wary of the budget which includes what analysts are calling a double account, amounting to a $2 trillion error. >> that math can't be sustained? >> you're going to get me to say that i want to cut programs and let people die. >> there are also concerns about deep cuts to medicaid. but the white house insists that medicaid is only being slowed

down not cut. at the same time, most experts agree this budget has virtually no chance of passing congress. it's 5:05. developing this morning, investigators suspect foul play in the case of a san francisco uber driver missing since last week. 48-year-old piseth chhay was last seen may 14. according to san francisco police, his last-known contact was with a long time friend who they now call a person of interest. bob tang was supposed to meet with investigators this week. police told us they think he may be on the run. >> he was scheduled to be interviewed yesterday in the morning by our missing persons investigators and we subsequently learned that he may have left the country and flown to cambodia on monday night. police are now working with international authorities to track down tang whose family reported him missing yesterday. cadaver dogs were brought in to search three properties linked to tang. a real-life horror story, this frightening sight on the

side of the highway. how would you like to drive by and see that. a clown holding a machete covered in fake blood. that man was seen in full clown makeup on the shoulder of highway 101 near the san juan road exit yesterday about 3:00 in the afternoon. when deputies arrived they had their guns drawn, they confronted the clown, his name, larry tovey of gilroy. deputies questioned him and determined he didn't commit a crime and let him go. investigators say he wasn't trying to hurt anybody, he just had "a sick sense of humor." we go back to stories about bart which is bringing in outside help now trying to figure out why two train car derailments at the daly city bart station happened last weekend. east bay times reporting the transit agency is hiring a colorado consulting firm to look at the situation, the derailment happened saturday, thankfully nobody was hurt. 5:07 on this thursday morning. take a look at the sunrise this

morning, getting more light in the sky earlier in the day and we are seeing those clouds rolling over the hills as well so we will have clouds starting out today if you're going out hiking in the south bay or just enjoying time at the park here's a look at how the temperatures will be shaping up throughout the morning and afternoon. 53 degrees to start and then we'll get clearing and cool temperatures but by 2:00 we're up to 70 degrees with breezy wind. it will be breezy and cooler into the weekend and we'll look at that forecast. that's coming up in three minutes but mike says there's no major issues on the road. >> we don't have any major closures for lanes and the speed sensors look great. we're showing the south bay in towards san francisco and also the north bay coming down for 101. a smooth flow of traffic. wind advisory from chp from the antioch bridge way back over here, but not a major issue for the riders across. we're also looking at bart. for a short period of time minor delay reported for some

equipment problems out of daly city but it resolved and everything is back on time for all of these agencies. a quick look at the bay bridge toll plaza. we'll show you even here things are very light. no delays. it's a great start for your thursday. back to you. >> where is everybody? >> maybe they're flying out of town. changes coming to tsa lines. the new screening procedures to look for before heading to the airport for your next trip. plus mark zuckerberg goes back to school, finally, to a graduation. we'll take a look when today in the bay continues.

commute. >> thanks so much, kari and mike. authorities in the east bay say a cross-dressing female bank robber is also a former police officer. police in danville yesterday arrested jennifer ray mcclary dressed as a man. she has a painted beard on her face. her linked in profile indicates she worked for the lapd and another southern california police department until 2010. danville police say she was eventually fired. >> it's kind of sad that somebody would fall to that level in life and become that desperate. she obviously had some issues she was dealing with. danville police say mccleary handed tellers a note demanding cash and never showed a weapon. there are change coming to tsa lines across the country -- just what you wanted to hear -- which means you have to give yourself more time when you go to the airport. look at this map. the tsa says it's testing new screening procedures for

carry-on bags at these ten airports. you're already required to remove your laptops but now there will be a new rule requiring you to take out any device larger than a cell phone -- that would include your tablets and ipads. tsa says carry-on luggage can get crammed and it makes it harder for workers to look for signs of an explosive. cyber security has become more crucial than ever and the fbi is holding a discussion on how you can protect yourself. experts will show how to protect your business and home against cyber security attacks. that's happening at 555 california street in san francisco this afternoon. bay area home prices last month hit any record highs. the research firm core logic crunched those numbers and found the median price for previously owned home in the nine counties rose to a record $800,000 in april. mercury news reports that exceeds the previous record of $752,000 in june of last year. analysts say the bay area's inventory of homes continues to fall far short of demand.

>> if you can find something affordable -- and i use that term liberally -- it might be a good time to buy. mortgage rates are at their lowest number they've been since november. >> for now. scott mcgrew, those interest rates are expected to rise soon. >> reporter: they are, i was speaking with the chief economist at comerica bank, that is the expectation, mortgage rates on their way up. the fed doesn't set mortgage rates directly but the latest notes from the fed show it's expecting to raise rates in june. > other news, mark zuckerberg will deliver the commencement address at harvard. he'll live stream it on facebook. yesterday he took people on a tour of his dormitory room. >> i'm going to flip this around for a second. we'll make a quick stop in the bathroom although -- >> do you really want -- >> people don't want to see the bathroom. all right, this was the couch that used to be here, there's not a couch now. harvard apparently has boarded up all the fireplaces because i guess they trust students now less than they did when i was

here. >> i did not have a suite and fireplace in my dorm. as far as we can figure, zuckerberg has actually never been to a harvard graduation until today because he didn't go to his own because hedropped out to start facebook. other famous harvard dropouts, bill gates, matt damon, robert frost and william randolph hearst. a report says tesla's assembly line has 30% more injuries than the average. the report examines two years of accidents filed with osha. if you look at the more important statistic, the number of days a worker has to be put on restrictive duty because of an injury, the number is twice industry average. tesla workers are in the midst of a unionization drive. the world's leading drone maker dji is showing a new drone you control with the wave of your hand. it's called the spark. it's more of a flying camera than what we would think of as a traditional drone. it recognizes you, follows you,

deliberate on today. the three could get a life sentence if the jury finds they did. michael tyree was found dead in his cell in august of 2015. the coroner said he was beaten so badly his spleen was nearly ruptured in two. the three are also charged with assault under the color of authority of juan via, a second mentally ill inmate on that same night. the defense claims tyree died from injuries he inflected upon himself but during the trial, former inmates testified they saw all three deputies in tyree's cell and heard tyree's cries for help as well. the defense contends the testimony of the inmates is not to be trusted. now, no cameras are allowed in the courtroom for this part of the trial, in fact, any part of this trial but we will have a reporter inside and when the jury reaches the verdict we'll have one hour to get in place to make sure we can bring you the coverage live. in san jose, kris sanchez, today in the bay.

plaster or whatever in. >> exactly. and when it comes time to plaster the walls they would have removed the windows, put them into storage. i have no idea. this would have been a beautiful room with a fireplace, a beautiful view of the gardens. it would have been a very special room. >> if we were to go upstairs, the attic is finally open to the public. in the attic you have wood pieces, what are the singh zmans. >> those are the remnants of the seven-story tower that used to dominate this entire landscape. most of the pieces remain. sara was very good at repurposing, she never threw things away and they sat h in storage for well over a century waiting for projects that never happened. >> explore more. coming up within the next hour, we'll take you to another room, i'm not sure if it's seen but it's called the witch's hat known for an unusual acoustic. >> sounds inviting. >> an eerie look at the inner workings. anyone else dizzy after looking at that tour? thanks very much, bob.

[ laughter ] no, i'm still here. cool, nice gab rel. it's the pre-holiday thursday, we see that into the memorial day holiday every year, been doing this for over a decade, we're looking at a nice easy drive out of the amount month. there may be a little wind, gusty winds at time but no major issues. light traffic for hayward. for mass transit we had earlier delays reported, an equipment issue out of daly city that was very early and very quickly that cleared up so no more delays for these transit systems. remember, monday is a holiday so check your agency's web site. >> a lot of people traveling? >> a lot of people will be hitting the road. we know where they're going aside from the winchester mystery house which looks super cool. up north, all kinds of activity.

>> we have bottlerock, so many events going on around the bay area. i've been trying to squeeze them in. looking at saturday's forecast, 63 degrees will be your temperature, that's the high temperature for the coast. the bay will be at 68 degrees and 74 for the inland valleys and then for sunday the coast will be in the mid-60s, 71 degrees for the bay and a little warmer for the inland areas, up to 77 degrees but all of this very comfortable weather and for the coast you may need long sleeves. now the mushroom mardi gras happening in morgan hill this weekend and we start out with temperatures at 10:00 at 58 degrees. so we'll be cool to start but temperatures warming up through the day so bring the sunscreen, the bottles of water and enjoy the time out there. i've been here before, i love this event. and for santa cruz it's going to be cool. needing the jacket and long sleeves all day if you'll be a spectato spectator, watching the surfers from 6:30 in the morning it will

be cool, only in the 50s. through the day the temperatures only hitting 60 degrees. at least there will be a little sun. we'll have a lot of sun in paso robles and temperatures in the upper 60s. for saturday r, 79 and 88 on sunday so much warmer there by the end of the weekend. if you're heading farther south to santa barbara, a slight chance of rain but it clears out for the weekend. by sunday we'll be up to 74 with sunshine. we'll look at today's temperature trend for san jose in three minutes. >> we'll look for two ward to it, thanks so much. up next, cracking down on fare evaders. the changes bart is considering today that could prevent more crime from happening on trains. plus a newspaper reporter body slammed and punched by a candidate running for congress. >> you just body slammed me and broke my glasses. >> get the hell out of here! >> more on this violent exchange and the charges that the candidate could now face. =mike/trx=

mike traffic tease ==traffic maps full== it's 5:42. we have a clear sunrise this morning in san jose as we get a live look and it will be nice and mild to start. we're 56 degrees, heading up to 74 today. even though there will be clouds mixing in, we will get sunshine later today and those temperatures heading into the

mid-70s will be cooler than we've had recently. as we go into the next several days, we'll keep this weather and talk about what's happening this weekend that's coming up in about five minutes. just starting to see these travel times eke up a little bit out of the castro valley y, that's 238 and 880. a smooth drive around the area. >> thank you very much, kari and mike. happening today, bart is continuing its discussion on how to handle the huge problem with fare jumpers. those problems involve more than just the loss of millions of dollars in revenue every year. in april, police say a large group of young people jumped bart's turnstiles and attack riders on a train in oakland. a new law prevents bart from cracking down on juvenile fare jumpers. bart is trying to get the law rewritten. the people of montana heading to the polls to select the state's only house representative but this morning, the gianforte, is facing misdemeanor assault charges for allegedly

body slamming a reporter. here's audio of what happened after the reporter asked a question. >> the cbo score, you were waiting to make your decision about health care until you saw the bill and it just came out and -- >> we'll talk to you about that later. >> but there's not going to be time. i'm jury curious -- >> speak to shane, please. i'm sick and tired of you guys! the last guy that came in here you did the same thing! get the hell out of here! get the hell out of here. are you with "the guardian"? >> yes, you just broke my glasses. >> the last guy did the same damn thing. >> you just body slammed me and broke my glasses. >> get the hell out of here! >> this happened on the eve of the election at a meet-and-greet style event. the reporter you heard from was from the "guardian." gianforte says the reporter was being aggressive, others in the room, firsthand account witnesses deny that. gianforte is in a tight race against the democrat rob quist in a district president trump carried by more than 20 points.

so the white house is obviously watching this election very carefully. >> scott mcgrew continuing our coverage this morning. scott, this could change some votes? >> it could but only some because for about 250,000 voters in montana, sam, they can't change their minds even if they wanted to because montana has early voting and they have already vote sod that leaves about one-third of registered voters already committed. what that fight could do is increase the number of voters who show up today and polls open up in exactly 15 minutes. you heard the reporter asking about the cbo score before the scuffle. the cbo score is this, the assessment by the congressional budget office. on the republicans' new health care plan, it's both bad and good news for the republicans. the assessment -- which is non-partisan -- is bad news if you're trying to get people health care. it says the republicans' plan would cause 23 million americans to lose health care over the next ten years. that's slightly less than twice the population of new york, chicago, and los angeles combined. it's good news if you're trying

to get it passed and plan future tax cuts because it reduces the deficit by $119 billion. that means the senate needs a simple majority to pass the bill so in that sense deficit reduction number big win for the authors. we don't expect the senate to adopt the house bill without changes. president trump was in brussels earlier this morning meeting with the eu and nato. here he is with the new french president. trump, you'll recall, called nato obsolete and he hasn't been kind to brussels. he called the city a hell hole. from brussels he goes to sicily to meet with american troops and then back home. i got several questions about melania trump as the trumps visited the vatican. there she is on the left. she wore a head covering in the presence of the pope but did not wear a head covering in saudi arabia and several of you asked why. well, the best answer we could find is the vatican asked her to and the king of saudi arabia did

not also first ladies generally don't wear head coverings in the middle east. michele bachmann did not on her visit to saudi arabia though she did wear a scarf in indonesia and covered her head at the vatican. we're open to your questions, comments, ideas, just give me a tweet @scottmcgrew and we'll give you the answer as best we can. sam and laura? scott, thank you very much. you know you see this thing every time you drive by it on 280, how could you not see it, it stands out. it's the so-called flintstone house. it's in hillsboro, the mercury news reporting it finally has a new owner. if you're wondering, we hear it's not some couple named fred and wilma. >> betty and barney? they're moving on up? >> one couple from the flintstones maybe. well, the mid-70s property went on the market in 2015, 20 months later it finally sold. the price tag is about 20% below the original asking price which was $4 million.
