here's what happened during that last meeting in february. >> my brother had his back turned. laying on the ground. on his knees. it's a lynching. >> no justice. no justice. >> reporter: at the top there that was a family member. they were joined by friends and activist groups calling on the b.a.r.t. board of directors to take action after the man was shot play police officer on january 3rd. not too far from where we're standing. there was body camera footage of that police officer that was released by b.a.r.t. police prior to that meeting. we'll show you some of that video, body camera footage. you see the officer running outside in response to a possible shooting. the officer approaches tindale and another man on the scene. b.a.r.t.'s police chief is defending the officer's action calling it courageous saying

tonight santa clara county wants to hear from you about a proposed ordinance that would require the county install changing tables in all public rest rooms in government buildings for both women and men. the same would apply for anyone constructing or reno vagt publicly used rest rooms in unincorporated santa clara county. they have not received any complaints per se, they are just trying to be proactive on this matter. >> we want to shift the conversation happen it isn't such a thing as a woman's job, it's everybody's job, families that raise children it's not just women who raise children. this will allow families to have access to what they need the most. health, safety as well as equity all together in combination. >> the santa clara county supervisors is expected to vote in the spring after they receive feedback from tonight's meeting. take a look at your tv screen.

police think the suspect jacob gonzalez may be headed to california. investigators believe he knows something about a woman found decapitated near a survivalist bunker on a rural island near seattle. they found supplies, firearms and ammunition nearby. investigators have not said why but believe he could turn up in central or southern california. school administrators are down playing threats made this week at one sonoma county school. there were two graffiti related threats made on bathroom walls at a high school in santa rosa. the school has remained opened with a higher police presence. threats have been reported by five sonoma county schools. >> new this morning some surprise twists this week in the fallout surrounding the handling of the sexual assault case at palo alto high school. it happened two years ago. the district confirmed the

principal was disciplined in the aftermath and then yesterday she actually released that notice straight to publications including the high school student newspaper. along with a letter she issued a rebuttal blaming district administrators for mishandling the case. she's now on immediate leave. >> california cities have no control over regulating self-driving cars. one mayor wants local tests for companies experimenting in his city. now the examiner reports the mayor is asking driverless car companies to submit local police assessmens if operated in san francisco. this week a letter was sent citing concerns about how police can respond to an incident involving automated cars. >> large parts of san francisco bayshore line is eroding away twice as fast as earlier

predicted according to a new study. our team has been sifting through some of that information overnight. we have a map to show you. some areas that are expected to see constant flooding by the year 2100. yellow areas like north san jose are at risk of flooding because of the sea level rising. scientists say climate change is behind the rise philanthropy red spots which includes sfo are not only under a athlete from sea level rise but also the land that is gradually settling or sinking there. good morning it's 5:09. if you're waking up and heading out you may encounter some wet roads. this storm system is moving out quickly leaving behind pretty much no rain at all. doppler radar right new, this is a live look. a couple of spotty showers moving through santa cruz, morgan hill making their way in but really, really light rain. definitely no heavy downpours. we did have some heavier rain last night in the north bay

area. all that stuff behind is these milder temperatures and cloud cover. we'll start noticing some fog rolling in through napa, santa roanesthesia. similar conditions to what we can expect in term of our afternoon highs in the 60s, upper 60s. i'll talk about our next chance of rain which is coming sooner than you think. >> we're looking over here, fewer folks waiting for these cash lanes at the bay bridge. the right approach, we still have that one cash lane won't be open until they fix or change that after the impact months ago. a smooth drive. slick conditions pup see the sheen on the roadway. that means those off-ramps be very careful coming off freeway speeds. there's the east shore, north bay and wide look around the bay no major problems. blobs of active radar system

good morning. it is 5:13. our doppler radar is showing the last of the light scattered

showers making their exit through the bay area. now the rain will definitely calm down quite a bit, but i'll talk about when that second and third storm system is expected to make its way into the bay area. we're looking over at san jose. rain not a big deal for this shot. traffic sort of pretty typical pattern throughout the south bay. and in busiest we're getting word president trump will not sign a tariff order today. it's been very confusing. we're waiting on some kind of clarification and so too are investors. snapchat is laying off more employees. its third round of layoffs. as you know the president has talked about tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum have royaled the markets. a few moments ago the president tweeted he would hold a meeting about steel and aluminum at 12:30 our time. we're interpreting that to mean he's not going to sign something

today. to earth orbit. scientists say they expect the chinese space station will fall back to earth later this month. nobody is aboard. it will deorbit sometime after march 29th and come down somewhere in this area from portugal over to greece. now most of it should burn up in the atmosphere and there's pretty solid chance anything that does fall will fall into the med. if you're old enough you remember sky lab falling on australia. today is the day president trump is scheduled to meet with video game makers for his video game summit. the president wants to talk about whether violent video games are linked to real world violence. now we have been on the phone and on e-mail with pretty much every big video game company out there. nobody seems to know who is going to this meeting. in fact, the statement software association which represents all video game companies sent an e-mail saying we don't know who is attending. this is the white house

organizing this meeting, so we're trying to find that out ourselves. a software glitch left every head set made by a virtual company unusable. thousands of them all over the world have just suddenly stopped working. customers are not happy. the company says it's working on a fix. imagine a piece of software code knocking out every product you ever made. >> not good for a company, i would say. >> bad deal. >> it is. you know what it? a good day for women. international women's day. about 100 mcdonald's restaurants are turning the famous golden arches upside down. today the m will turn into a w for women. the idea is a hit with many owner of mcdonald's. >> everybody knows mcdonald's, the golden arches. so demonstrate the importance of

>> yeah. >> every day is women's day. that's our theory. look that's why the rain moved out so we can celebrate. >> mother nature. >> mother nature is working in our favor. showers right now pretty much non-existent at this point. doppler radar you can see that storm system now far off to the east of san francisco. and making its way now towards the sacramento area. so if i zoom this in definitely a lot closer you can see what's left behind. little spotty light showers. majority of that rain moved in overnight. really smacking down more on the bay area overnight. but still, believe it or north less unanimous a hundredth of an inch. so really in term of rain totals i told you wouldn't put in a big dent. let's take a look at this fog and 4 hour temperature change. we're picking up some fog in the north bay and some spots in san francisco but if you notice temperatures are still fairly mild, so we haven't seen the 30s

for the past three days now. we're not expecting to see 30s any time soon. maybe a colder system in next week. right now 50s. 57 in san jose. 54 for san francisco. today's daytime highs very similar to yesterday but lot less 70s. still be on the warmer side into the low 60s for san francisco, a high of 63. and high 60s for south bay like san jose. bay area skies, once this rain moves out you saw the last of those showers will leave behind a little cloud cover. through friday morning majority of that moisture stays off to the north, far north so we're not too worried about the rain. what i'm following, those is a bit of an overnight chance of some showers to develop. we're following that system that could bring some scattered rain through friday and then saturday and sunday. well that's when we have the arrival of another system. saturday storm system looks like

it will be an evening storm and that's going to carry over into sunday morning. but let's check in with mike. >> we're looking right now at conditions at the richmond-san rafael bridge. definitely the sheen, slicker roadways. a note to be careful. rain may not have been heavy but affected the traction for these cars. just building here. as you come over off the east shore frarks westbound 580, overnight a couple of patches from 101 and south of, there reports of larger puddles. basically some standing water. bay bridge toll plaza some back up. metering lights should be turned on in the next couple of minutes. south county rain traveling through the area, little bit of radar activity. brighter green here. 17 has the green highlighting as well for that road weather index talk about slicker roadways and patches over here, some puddling and ponding on tesla.

we delve into the poll and found more than half of all voters disagree with president trump's proposal to arm teachers. however, 42% agree. among republicans eight in ten call it a viable plan. among democrats nearly nine in ten do not believe arming teachers will work. today marks four years since malaysia airlines flight 370 disappeared a mystery that don't haunt the world. today chinese relatives of passengers who were on that plan demanded answers from the government in beijing. the flight was headed to china from malz when it went off course and disappeared. 239 people were on board. relatives in malaysia also spoke out today. four years for us. four days, four weeks, still really miss all the people that we love. we still don't know what happened to them. >> there's an active search

head ♪ >> yes the rain drops, falling on your head because you were probably sleeping for the majority of these showers moving through. they settled over the north bay for a little bit but as far as rain totals less than a hundredth of an inch, not even a tenth of an inch. majority of those showers stuck to north of the golden gate bridge. we're spotting a couple of very light showers in santa cruz mountains. our 24 hour temperature change is still showing those mild conditions so as you make your way outdoors you'll notice not very cold especially in the south bay and even in the north bay actually. take a look at napa 52 degrees. we can expect to see nice warming temperatures towards the afternoon. once again talking about mid-60s and possibly even some more low 70s but trending more towards up he 60s. i'll talk about that next incoming storm system and how it could affect your weekend plans. first let's go to mike. >> metering lights were turned on because of the volume of

traffic at the bay bridge. the sheen on the roadway continues as laura showed you. rain overnight. you do have slicker conditions. the back up at the bay bridge toll plaza keeps things moving up to the blufl view of the city. no problems across the span. look at the radar. snapping turtles face. grown blob there. one further south in hayward. light showers. no major problems. happening today at lunch time hundreds of students are expected to protest against some school board members. today we go live to santa cruz with a reason why they are so frustrated. good morning, chris. is she there? maybe we're having trouble with her live shot. okay. kris, you there?

>> reporter: i can hear you. can you hear me. this is largely a symbolic gesture by community members that to show the school board they think this district has gotten off track. as those students walk off campus during that lunch time hour as you said, they will have the blessing of their parents, their parents have to sign them out and a lot of parents say that they will do just that. now a lot of those same parents have been showing up in force at board meetings which they say have become dysfunctional. the district was subject of a six month state audit that found poor governance and board micromanagement. the audit found the district has no plan to repay a $25 million loan and most recently the superintendent and the board have been battling over her evaluation, which she wanted done in public, which many community members wanted done in public as well. but which ultimately was held behind closed doors with the board members.

now i talked to the superintendent about the walk out yesterday and she told me she wants the students in class. >> we want them to be learning so the place where they learn is at school. and that's where the powerful conversations can be held. >> i want our kids in school. we want that for sure. but then as a parent, as a mom, i have my kid in first grade here at this school, i rather him lose half a day of school than lose eight years without having the right resources for his education. >> reporter: so the student walk out is scheduled for 12:30 this afternoon. is this a minimum day so the most the students will miss of class is one hour, one and a half hours or one period for those middle schoolers. again, a symbolic gesture. it will be joined by some commune members cluing the mayor who plans to address this group about 400 expected folks around

3:30 this afternoon. could be a busy one there. new this morning, a violent night in santa rosa has police searching for three suspects. we just learned those details of apparently unrelated shootings and stabbings. around 9:15 officers heard gun shots at the mall apartments. they found a man who she say had been shot several times and is now in critical condition. police say that man was target and that this was not random. so far no arrests in this situation. about 30 minutes later a couple of blocks away a homeless man said thieves stabbed him in the head and his encampment at prince memorial ringway. police say he'll live. the victim says two suspects ran way. >> continuing coverage now of the deadly officer involved shooting in san francisco. we brought you this as breaking coverage of the shooting yesterday morning on "today in the bay". protesters angered and outraged by the shooting are sounding off

taking their message of condemnation straight to police. >> no. let me talk to the kid. let me see him before we shoot. why do they have to do that >> protesters gathered outside of the police station last night. officers shot and killed an armed robbery suspect who police say was hiding in the trunk of a car on capp street. friends identified the victim as jesus delgado. they obtained video of a sfloogt a witness. i want to warn you, you may find it disturbing.

starting today, the airline is adding an extra flight to phoenix. so now there are six daily trips starting saturday. southwest will launch its first international flight from sjc to cabo san lucas. also over the next two months they will add several new flights to houston, orlando, spokane and st. louis. as well as other cities. >> there you go. here's a place pretty close you can go to. pretty hurry happen sonic runway, time is ticking. they are closing it down tomorrow. the runway of kraeftd by burning man artist. it's viewable between 5:00 at night to midnight. they will celebrate closing night with a free runway fashion show. there you go mike. >> looking over here in san jose where we landed at sjc last month. saw it coming in.

we'll start to see that rain moving in. this is actually going to be a storm system that affects more of the inland area. going to move in from the southern area, so actually san jose will probably catch the majority of that rain first. then head towards the bay and some lighter showers towards the coast. a look at these temperatures, still remain in those upper 50s and low 60s. saturday afternoon storm will move into the evening hours and then that's is going carry over into your sunday's forecast. now sunday's forecast looks like it will have scattered showers possibly even all day long. not just for inland spots but for the coast, bay and inland areas as well. temperatures will remain in the 60s. upper 60s for inland spots. then as we head towards monday we also have this, kind of storm system that's been falling apart, breaking apart but i'll tell enthusiast. teasing ahead towards wednesday, next wednesday we have a jet stream and that looks like it will bring in a lot more. for the weekend, scattered showers. back to you. 5:39. coming up next on "today in the

bay," new this morning terrifying sight on the peninsula. search for yet another mountain lion that was spotted overnight. >> tariff turmoil. no one seems to know what our policy is on trade. we'll take a look. plus saying hello. new this morning the adorable video everyone is talk about on social media.

event but this morning our reporters are hearing that it may not happen. not a signing event. rather some sort of press conference or announcement. the president himself said on twitter that would happen at 12:30 our time. that must have surprised the white house because it's not on the official schedule. mr. trump's turn around flrks saturn around comes after 100 republican members of congress wrote him a letter asking him not to go forward with tariffs. at least not against every country with no exceptions. there are 100 signatures all from republicans saying don't do it. meanwhile the stormy daniels issue continues to cause problems. the white house said yesterday a mediator ordered the actress whose real name is stephanie clifford not to talk about whatever she wants to talk about. here's sarah huckabee sanders. >> the president has addressed these directly and made very well clear that none of these

allegations are true. this case has already been won in arbitration and anything beyond that i would refer to you the president's outside counsel. >> now that might not sound like much but there is some substance there. the white house has repeatedly denied the president has any connection to the porn star. but this is the first time we've heard the white house acknowledged the president or his representatives are involved in a legal fight. remember she said they won it, a legal fight to keep her from talking. we'll continue to follow what exactly the nation's trade policy even is and as soon as we know it we'll tell you on twitter and facebook. thank you very much. 5:47 right now this morning, mystery solved. >> we may finally know what happened to the aviation pioneer amelia earhart. university of tennessee study now says that new testing shows there's a 99% chance that skeletal remains found in a remote pacific island in 1940 are earhart's.
