cancel it for now. the rest of the systems look great, back to you. it's amazing doing it on our home floor. >> a night to remember. the warriors nba champions once again and the bay area certainly celebrating. >> from inside oracle to the streets of downtown oakland the party lasted late into the night. we have team coverage to get you to speed. >> reporter: good morning. i snuck up here to the team store and look what i found, here it is guys, the larry o'brien trophy as the golden state warriors win their second championship in three years. this is the trophy guys they were holding up last night after they took care of business beating the cavaliers inwithing

the parade will begin on broadway making it's way to the kaiser convention center. today the more on the parade if you want to take part in the festiviti festivities. good morning. >> reporter: fans from all over of the bay area will be heading to the warriors parade including hopping on bart so we have a lot of tips for you. here they are. i was at the last victory parade and it is massive. as you can see from the video from the parade two years ago. you'll have six crowds along the route and parking is very limited around the parade route. my husband left the other victory parade had to drop me and the daughters off so people will be taken mass transit. be ready for big crowds. the parade will start at 10:00 a.m. then head up broadway, across grand to lake

mria. ac transit says because of the parade some lines will be closed in oakland so check the website for how to get around the city. buy tickets ahead of time. expect long lines. there are bag size restrictions so keep it as small as possible. if you plan on heading towards the main parade stage area and no alcohol and no fireworks will be permitted. and back here live, authorities want to keep this a very safe and family friendly event, so if you see something, say something. let's keep this parade and this main event safe. if you want to watch from the comfort of your own home make sure you watch nbc bay area news. >> should be a lot of fun. >> thank you, sharon. excited fans right now already

last night. he was on international boulevard when the driver allegedly hit him. the officer was rushed to the hospital. we're told that he's in stable condition. he was on a motorcycle as you see from that picture there. it is not clear if this case is connected to the warriors celebration. another big day in washington today as attorney general jeff sessions testifies in front of the senate intelligence committee. these are live pictures of course in washington. sessions will testify in an open session. he'll be asked why he failed to disclose yet another meeting with the russian ambassador. he'll also be asked why he allowed president trump to have private meetings with fired fbi director james comey. a friend of the president told pbs that trump is considering firing robert mueller, the special counsel investigating possible ties between trump's campaigns and russian officials. >> i think he's considering perhaps terminating the special counsel. i think he's weighing that option. >> he should not further

obstruct our efforts and the fbi and the department of justice's efforts to get to the bottom of what happened. >> democrats say firing him would be a huge mistake. you can watch sessions full testimony without interruptions right here on nbc bay area. our coverage kicks off at 11:30 a.m. >> parents of the fremont school district taking a stand against bullying and what they say is the school's failure to address the issue. they're upset with the bullying going on at mon ta vista high school. this is a goal here to stand in solidarity with an african-american student who was targeted last year. her family's filed a civil lawsuit alleging that her classmates created a kill list which identified all the black students on campus. this lawsuit claims the district was negligent because it failed to prevent this from happening even though allegedly the school district was aware of the problem. we reached out to the school district which issued a statement saying in part, quote,

when it was first brought to the attention of administrators staff immediately investigated and took appropriate disciplinary action. >> it's 5:09 now on this tuesday morning. we start out with temperatures in the mid-50s as you get ready to head out the door and mostly clear skies. in san francisco 53 degrees. as we go through the day maybe you plan to heading to some of the hiking trails. we will have a few clouds that start at 7:00 in the morning. 10:00 start to see all of those clouds clearing out and temperatures in the low 60s, upper 70s today. it will still be comfortable with some sunshine throughout the afternoon. coming up in four minutes i'll have a look at the temperature trend for ever green but mike is now tracking a car fire. >> which would be too hot for the temperature there. in the north bay we're showing you most of the speed sensors around the bay. looks like a smooth drive right now. i'll check on that to make sure

nothing's going on for 280 south bound. we are looking at westbound 80 right around ridwood park way. sounds like everything's off to the shoulder. i'll let you know what's going on. we haven't seen slowing. this is highway 37 with an easy drive across 101. we'll show you the travel times for the north bay. and 101 through the north bay southbound through the golden gate bridge moves well. >> it's 5:10. reshaping downtown san jose. the reason google's plan to build in south bay could get even larger. >> big day for erik holder. he will release his report about uber today. the very latest coming up.

food. water. internet. we need it to live. but what we don't need are surprises, like extra monthly fees. i see you, fee, played by legendary actress anjelica huston. you got me, mark. we just want fast internet for one, simple rate. for all the streaming and the shopping and the newsing,

but most of all... for the this. internet for one everyday simple price and no extra monthly fees. it is 5:13 now. we wake up with sunshine. we're still at 60 degrees feeling cool in ever green but quickly warming temperatures. noon up to 71 degrees. you might want to take that lunch outside. we'll have comfortable weather today but the ac will be blasting by the ends of the week. i'll talk more about that. >> were you looking for some slow drives through the tri-vall tri-valley. it's green right now. a smooth drive light flow of traffic.

we'll show you the rest of your commute. >> thank you very much. speaking of the warriors, this is a live look from inside the team store right now. aside from that impressive suit that is the championship trophy. got a first hand look at what is a very shiny, proud proof the warriors won last night. last night was not just loud outside but inside the arena last night. oakland, the rest of the bay area just soaking it all in this morning. >> this is the front page of the "san francisco chronicle" this morning reading champs again. lots of smiles there. >> i would say well deserved. google right now and the city of san jose working on a massive construction plan that could change the downtown area permanent. they're considering building a 2 million square foot office and retail space.

that location would be near dur ran station. both sides in early talks but plans show the development could be five times the size of valley fair mall just to give you some sense of scale there. later this morning uber will be releasing a report detailing inside corporate culture. >> this is not for public consumption but like most uber's internal stuff it will leak out fairly quickly. uber's board has already seen the report authored by the former u.s. attorney general eric holder. the board at uber spent seven hours looking over this report sunday. uber of course has been under fire for all kinds of things, from sexual harassment to abusive culture, to sneaky software to fool regulators. one of the possible biltss is for the company's founder to take a leave of absence. he's often at the center of all those controversies that dog

uber. monday imam michael resigned from the company. he's accused of one suggesting in public that uber hire private investigators to track the reporters who cover uber. sara lacy specifically to dig up some dirt on them. the report will suggest other changes for uber to adopt. the big question is can a new plan fix the company that suffered from damaged culture for years. ceos i talked to say it might but instead of fixing a company after its broken it's better to deal with problems as they come. >> my point is that today companies can measure the experience of their employees on a regular basis. so there's no excuse for being surprised. there's really no excuse for having an uber situation, right, because you should be on top of the employee experience across all of your populations on a reagan ongoing basis. >> the fed starts it's two day meeting today. the nasdaq being getting crushed

lately. down another half percent monday. apple stock was hit pretty hard. netflix fell more than 4% monday. the funny thing there's no good -- no believable news that would effect these stocks. no bad earnings reports. something's happening in tech stocks in which they're just getting crushed and we're not sure why. >> they did have a great rise at the beginning. >> there is that, yes. >> thank you very much. >> united bay, bay area kicking off its summer of volunteering. meteorologist rob mayeda which celebrates encouraging volunteering. the ceo of united bay area spoke about the organization's schools this summer. >> we have a big goal of 50,000 backpacks for low income kids. we're partnering with nbc bay area and other nonprofits to mobilize people and resources to make sure 50,000 children start school with everything they need in their own backpacks.

going to allow those temperatures especially to heat up over the next couple days. this is what it feels like as you step out the door right now. in napa it's 50 degrees and morganhill a cool 47 degrees. as we go through the day you'll be taken that jacket off as our temperatures warm up into the mid-80s. 80 in morganhill and take a look at the seven-day forecast at the bottom of the screen. you'll see how hot it's going to be over the next few days. with the kids maybe making some pool plans. if you are heading out to hit the links at half moon bay going to enjoy your me time, it's going to be in the mid-50s and rising in the low 60s. it'll be a beautiful nice day out there and forget today. we're talking about thursday, the warriors victory parade on thursday it's going to be perfect for some celebrating. we start out in the upper 60s in time for the parade to start and in the low 70s as we continue to celebrate going throughout the day and i put out this tweet and

drive. these three routes showing you these three times over. so you can compare your routes and compare which one you want to take based on when you're leaving and of course where you're departing from. looking at this. your travel team here is nbc here. that's the team you want to be a member of so we can share the information from you and to you wherever you're going whenever that is. back to you. >> sounds good. >> coming up next, in the jury's hands, what's next in the cosby sexual assault trial as the jury begins to decide the comedian's fate. >> but first, a live look outside. beautiful golden gate bridge. the sun is rising over the bay area making way for a beautiful sunrise and a great day ahead. stick around a lot more news. we continue to follow the ongoing sexual assault trial of

>> locally the trial for the hayward pet groomer whose accused of sufficient coindicating and killing a dog that is expected to begin later today. he's accuse the of killing a 1-year-old long hair doxen as a san ma tako pet smart. >> happening today a vote in san francisco could make breast-feeding easier for working moms. supervisors have spearheaded efforts to require employers across the city to provide lackitation rooms at work. this would allow moms to feed their children or pump milk without having to go to far. it would be the strongest ordinance of its kind in the country if it passes. >> the lights on suvs are not doing enough for drivers. this is coming from the institute of highway safety. what that group found is that more than half of the cars got low grades for hlt performance. only two actually received good ratings, that would be the

hyundai santa if he and the volvo s 360. >> warriors champions once again. live coverage continues this morning. >> celebrations inside and outside of oracle arena as the warriors are once again nba champions. i'll have a recap of all the celebrations and be hanging out with a cool piece of hardware

580 at the dublin interchange. slower drive toward doherty and we'll track this as well. back to you. there's the cheering. living up with name sake last night. warriors are nba champs and the bay area going wild last night and it continues into the morning. >> there's that confetti you were talking about from inside oracle to outside on the streets of oakland fans celebrating the night away but not without some problems. >> the championship trophy this morning. you're right there very close to it, pete. >> reporter: good morning to you. this is what all of dub nation was hoping for after last year's heartbreaking loss. this year we are once again this nba champions and this is what it's all about. you saw instead of curry and

having a quote psychotic episode and the killing apparently random. it happened friday night. a neighbor said he came face-to-face with the suspect who wasn't wearing any clothing and was holding a hammer. >> i walked out to about the end of the steps and i screamed who's there and this naked lady comes jetting out of my backyard with a hammer in her hand, completely naked. the cops were here in two minutes and they arrested her. at that point they didn't know what she did. >> they believe she acted alone. we'll get you out on the roadway. a smooth easy drive right now. that little blip for 101 but we will be disappointed if you're expecting the limit through oakland. southbound is jamming up. there's a crash still in the middle of the roadway and it sounds like there's debris across lanes as well. we will have an issue as chp

arrives. i think the person who was driving it. trying to stay save. we will track this situation again in oakland eastbound 580. very clear if that's an option for you. take that right now. westbound 80 starting to clear up after the earlier car fire we reported at redwood parkway. a little slowing now for west 37 coming out over amir island. there's the rest of your vul and your travel times are looking good. just 15 minutes from the upper east shore freeway down to the bay bridge itself. live look out there. the sunrise, ignore those lights. that's part of the scenery, the meetering lights are on. >> a lot of traffic there. look at the sun. not directly. >> you always focus on the positive. >> i try to because i report the traffic. >> also part of your nature. you're a good dad. we certainly know that. this weekend, father's day, and

you got some nice weather to serve up. >> it's going to be hot and i think with dad you need to make plans where you can stay nice and cool, go to the movies or beach, make some pool time. here's a look at saturday's forecast. it's going to be just as hot. 96 degrees for the inland valleys. the bay up to 85 degrees and the coast 72. now as we look at father's day in the forecast as we go into the afternoon, look at how hot it will be inland. dangerous heat. make sure you do plan for dad to have some where nice and cool to go. maybe not the best day to go golfing. but it will be up to 84 degrees on the coast. looking at the weather for monterrey if you're planning to hit the road, a short distance up to 74 degrees on sunday with mostly sunny skies and then if you're planning to head to lake tahoe this is a live look this morning at squaw valley as the sunrises, absolutely gorgeous. can you believe they had a light dusting of snow yesterday morning? all of that has cleared out and

look how warm it will be heading into the weekend so don't pack a heavily coat. it'll be in the low 80s for both saturday and sunday. if you're heading farther to the south maybe taking the kids to disney land, it will be in the upper 70s and we'll have warm weather for l.a. as well. as we led back to the bay area i'll have a look at the temperature trend coming up in three minutes. >> by the way, as we talk about hot temperatures, we also talk about the heating up of the celebrations we have a victory to acknowledge here for the warriors. an emotional night last night for the team. that included some touching moments from the entire curry family. our coverage continues after the break. >> things heating up in washington as well. another day, another set of testimony. this time jeff sessions will tell you what you need to look out for coming up.

mike traffic tease . getting a live look outside in san jose as the sunrises all clear and as we go through the day in willow glenn it will be a nice cool warm to start out. make sure you grab a jacket. as we go through the day it'll be warming up with all of that sunshine. temperatures reaching into the mid-70s which is about close to our average high temperature for this time of year. we're about to see those temperatures sky rocket heading into the end of the week. i'll talk more about that coming up at 5:50. >> and in oakland we're still

tracking this crash now moved over. it's just blocking your far right lane but it's jamming up traffic from about 980. we'll show you the latest and give you a work around as well. how's this for the latest this morning? a live look at the nba championship trophy in its new home in oakland. the warriors clinching that title last night. we are live there this morning. in the meantime did you catch this last night. certainly a big family affair on the court. steph curry holding his daughter, bringing her up on stage. lots of smiles and laughs. also draymond green new father as well holding his baby during the award ceremony. they'll have a good father's day come sunday. >> that is going to be awfully sweet for those families. 5:45 right now. more local news happening. oakland, city leaders consider adding an inspector to the new police commission. the city's public safety committee is going to be discussing responsibilities of

the civilian commission and also voting to add the civilian inspector general. we spoke with an oakland councilmember about what this commission is going to do. >> you need somebody whose going to reform and look at reforms and audit the police department on an ongoing basis and that's somebody needs to be a civilian who has expertise and it needs someone who reports to the police commission, not to the police chief. >> so that commission was overwhelmingly approved by voters back in november and it was in response to a number of scandals involving sexual misconduct by members of the oakland police department. that resulted in a nearly $1 million settlement with the victim. >> it is 5:46, breaking news right now. out of georgia our affiliate reporting two prison guards have been killed by prisoners. we're getting that information from the putnam county sheriff's department. >> that sheriff that you say the prison 75 miles outside of atlanta. there are reports that the suspects right now are on the run. we're waiting for live air ideal

pictures from the scene. >> when we get more information we'll bring it to you as soon as those live pictures come in. >> there's another day of potentially dramatic testimony on capitol hill as the attorney general is going to be testifying before the senate. >> jeff sessions has been in front of the senate before but this time it's different. >> yeah, the first time he didn't tell the whole truth about to meetings with russians. a big enough controversy that sessions ended up recusing himself from the overall russian investigation. that happened during this his confirmation hearings. today attorney general sessions will go before the senate intelligence committee. the same committee that james comey faced last week. some of the big questions will include was there sessions at a third meeting with russian sergey kees lee yack at the hotel. what role did he play in the firing of james comey, does
