this portion of the bay until later on. so the light volume of traffic we're already seeing the slowing. we had slowing around sunnyvale saratoga and heading up toward marry. that crash looks like it's over the shoulder at the 85 junction and looks like no more issues. i'm going to track that just in case because the south bay doesn't see any slowing aside from that. we do have slowing some coming off of the castro valley y and 880 down through union and hayward city. over here by the coliseum. let's give you a live look southbound 880 there may be a disabled vehicle south of here, i'm going to swing the camera around and show you if i find anything. 6:02. happening today three families are expected to announce lawsuits against pg&e claiming the utility caused the deadly north bay wildfires. >> "today in the bay" kris sanchez is live this morning. we know a news conference is happening in just a few hours. what are we expecting to learn this morning? >> reporter: well, we're expect to go learn more about who those

destroyed. the fire is now 100% contained. now, the lead attorney also represents many of the families in the ghost ship warehouse fire and we expect that we will get an update on that legal action as well. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." back to that developing story out of new york city. the investigation into this week's terror attack intensifies. there is still a lot of police presence in lower manhattan this morning, but those barricades and police tape they're gone. >> and this morning we're learning new details about the attack as president trump ramps up his criticism. first the suspect appeared in federal court late wednesday. there are new images showing him also inside the home depot where he rented the truck that he used to run people over. we now know he continued -- or he planned to continue his attack along the brooklyn bridge, but he wrecked his truck before he got that far. federal agents say they found isis propaganda, a lot of it, on his phone. we're also hearing for the first

time -- >> when normal people take a coffee break he took a bike break and that's when it happened. >> we're also hearing for the first time from the family of one of the victims you heard there, jamie drake said his son visited that bike path almost every day. okay. what he was saying earlier is that his son used to always ride it on his break. he was devastated of course by the attack. yesterday president trump says he thinks the suspect should now get the death penalty. coverage of the investigation into the deadly terror attacks in new york city continues next on the "today" show as the suspect makes his first appearance in court. we also have new details this morning on the police shooting in san francisco's castro district on halloween. we've learned now that an armed carjacking may be connected. police say the car that officers approached on halloween night was stolen. after the shooting in the castro police say two women and a man car jacked a taxi near the shooting scene. police found that cab abandoned

on oak wood in the mission. in the castro one witness describes the violence that unfolded. >> we ran down the hall to make sure that we weren't going to be hit and, you know, trying to think about what are we going to do. then it was enormous police presence immediately. i saw a guy down on the street. >> this morning the officer remains in critical condition. police say the suspect is also in the hospital with life-threatening injuries. looking live in capitol hill right now, today we expect to get our first look at the republican tax reform bill. confusion and disputes between gop lawmakers have delayed the plan's release. originally planned for wednesday. now, when that plan does come out we will go through that for you here "today in the bay." republicans now have just ten official legislative days remaining before the holiday break. president trump is set to leave tomorrow on an economic trip to asia. rougher running late and trying to make mass transit?

out around 200 cars for service because of impatient commuters. >> you are in a race to get on that train, you don't want to wait that extra 15 minutes. totally understandable but what we're hoping is that people keep in mind if they're stuck in our door or force a door open, that that's going to have a long-term impact that literally is going to impact the time of thousands of people, it's going to take one of our cars out of service unnecessarily, it's going to create a more crowded environment. these are all bad things we're trying to avoid. >> reporter: laura and marcus, as you might be aware, bart will be phasing in new trains, the doors on those new cars will not pocket like the existing ones, they will be on the outside of the trains, they will be more durable, more soundproof. the transit agency hopes to have 20 of those next generation cars in service by the end of this year. reporting live in fremont, bob redell, "today in the bay." 6:08. happening today the drive along

evangelical, this was created by russians. we get the targeting data, it tells us to whom the russians sent the ads and how many people saw it. some ads absolutely failed, 60 people saw them, 70, in the says of the jesus ad it was 71. but others were blockbuster ads. this one calls for the ban of bushing cass in america, ads targeted at liberals as well, this one supports black lives matter. the point was to inflame passions and divide america. in one case a rally to support the man shot by police am minnesota philando castile drew hundreds of supporters and counterprotesters and the whole thing was set up on facebook by russians. president trump is expected to name a new fed chair, we believe it will be powell. the analysts say he will probably continue the feds
